I found this woven gift-wrap topper idea on Pinterest recently and was amused by it. I checkout out the website and wanted to share this girl’s blog with you. It is fun and crafty and I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before!
Anyway, this is her woven gift-wrap topper idea. She has a tutorial on her site if you want to check it out. I like the pastel version best :-)It might look cute with a solid color of gift wrap and then a black and white woven topper! Read the whole post
I went to the craft store sunday night and discovered the easiest way to make earrings. This is just a few short steps, you will only need 2 materials, and your youngest children could make these. I’m not necessarily saying they should though. Maybe with supervision. The pieces are a bit small.
Things You Will Need:
Beads
Earring clasps
Step 1:
Unwind the base of the earring clasp.
Step 2:
Slide the bead on the the long silver piece. Read the whole post
I could play with this cup for hours!
This one creeps me out a little bit but it is entertaining.
You’ve probably had infused water before, right? At a hotel or a bar maybe?
I decided to make my own. I cut up 2 oranges and 1 lemon, added some water, and put the mason jar in the fridge. Supposedly you have to let it infuse for a few weeks but I’m too impatient for that. This seems to work very well. I didn’t use a sweetener or anything 🙂
I think I am going to try it will watermelon and pineapple. Read the whole post
I’ve wanted to make a soy candle for quite a while. This weekend I picked up some soy that can be microwaved (in case this doesn’t go as planned) and some blueberry muffin scent. I’m pretty excited about this Make Something Mondays 🙂
Things You Will Need:
Wick
Scent
Soy wax
Mason Jar
Not pictured: Pot, water, tongs
Step 1:
Heat up your water. A little less than half of your pot should have water in it. Read the whole post
It has been pointed out to me that my post Pencil Sculptures by Dalton Ghetti is actually the work of Ágoston Birtalan. So, I did some research to make sure it checked out (which it did) and I have updated the previous post with the correct images. Here is the work of Ágoston Birtalan.
I apologize to both artists! You both create amazing work and should be recognized for your own achievements!
Ágoston is a Hungarian artist who creates pencil carvings. Read the whole post
Over the past year and a half I have shown you many artworks that you have to look at twice because you can’t determine whether it is a painting/drawing or a photograph. I love those, obviously. Some of the greatest artists in the world can’t do that but I think it is an aspiration of many. Here we go again…
Doug Bloodworth is another one of those artists. His paintings are so realistic that you have to look all too closely at the image. Read the whole post
They say that all artists see things differently; they see things the the average person doesn’t see. I don’t know if I agree with the second half of that assumption,but I do think that artists look for different ways to view a particular object.
An artist by the name of Dalton Ghetti, uses that ability to create complex sculptures from the simple shape of a pencil. He started carving at a young age, but decided to start carving very small sculptures more recently.
I have a billion keys on my keyring and I have so many keys that look alike. So what’s a girl to do about that? Find a way to distinguish them, right?
This is a very quick an easy craft, which makes everyone happy, but it is also an efficient one.
Things You Will Need:
Keys
Newspaper
Fingernail Polish
Step 1:
Start painting one side of your key(s). Let that dry.
Step 2:
Flip they key(s) over and paint the other side. Read the whole post
