Fathers Day Card

  Hey Guys! I wanted to show you really quick what kind of card I made for Fathers day.

 This was really easy to make: I basically used a card base and added scrapbook paper on top, Then I distressed it with Tim Holts Walnut Stain and made the edges rough using a paper distressed, you can also use scissors. Then I punched out two little leaves and also distressed with the same ink and glued them in the corners using double sided tape. Then I wrote Happy Fathers Day on card stock, traced it with a sharpie and cut it out. Then I distressed it with ink and Ta-Da! Its done! 

Try to make something hand-made for your dad and show him how much you care through that!

Magnets

Welcome back! 
Today I decided to show you how to make these really cute multipurpose magnets!

Materials:

Spare-Parts clear round epoxy stickers

scrapbook paper

magnet strip

glue dots

scissors

mini splashes of paint or color

Step #1

I painted on some splashes of color onto regular paper and then I laid down the stickers. You can do the same thing with printed paper

Step #2

Then I measured and cut a strip of magnet to go across the back of the sticker and placed a glue dot on the magnet strip.

Step #3

After that, you just glue the magnet to the sticker!

That is all, I hope you try this out and until next time!

Flower Letters And Block

Welcome back! Today I decided that I would show you how to make these really cute letters and block out of just a few simple supplies!

Supplies:

Cardboard

Pencil

Paper

 Fake Flowers

Foam Block

Cutting tool- X-acto knife, or just a dull knife

Ruler 

Hot Glue Gun

Step #1 foam block

Take the foam block and cut it in half. If you have a smaller square, then you can skip this step.

Step #2

Now, just cut off the stems of the flowers to leave a "stub" of wire, so that next you can stick the flowers in one of the halves. You can glue them to the foam, but I decided not to. 

Step #3

After that, if you do not want all the little pieces of foam on your table, I cut out a square slightly smaller than the foam and took four small thumbtacks and attached the paper to the foam.            And you are done!

Flower Letter

The first thing I did is I traced a letter onto cardboard and I cut it out.

Step #2 

Then I cut out a piece of exactly the same shape white paper.

You can also paint it. 

Step #3

Next I just started gluing flowers to the base, and after that, You are finished!

Spring Banner

Hello there! I'm back with another easy DIY, this time for spring. This is a really fun and creative DIY because its paintable so your kids can join in too!

 This is a banner made form and with:

Card stock

Twine/String

Paint

Mini Clothespins 

Paint Brushes

The first thing that you have to do is cut your paper.

I had 2 8.5"x11" pieces of card stock and I cut them into 4 pieces.

Next, you will have to draw your letters.

You can choose other words like Easter, Summer etc.

After that, all you have to do is paint outside the letter. 

I chose to do different designs, but you can stick to one design.

Then, go over the letter itself in one color, mine is white.

I gave it 2 coats, and then outlined it with a black marker.

After the paint was all dry, I took some twine and I attached the paper to the twine with mini clothespins I got from Target.

Now all you have to do is hang it up and enjoy your artwork!
