Wall Decoration

Supplies:
Canvas
Paint
Creative Mind

I bought my canvas at Michael's (it was a pack of 2 for $9.99)

Draw out what design you want to do.

Choose what paint you think you want to use.

Now, it's just making sure you paint in between the lines. (Don't worry if you mess up. Let it dry, and then paint over it. No biggie! I promise).

Then add your detailing to your picture.

Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy!
Now, I just need to find a place to hang it!
Happy Craftin' Y'all!

Initial Wall Decoration

Initial Wall Decoration

I owe A LOT of props to my cousin Brittni for this project. She is the most AMAZING creative painter I know :). I told her what I wanted to do, and she came up with it! The other plus side, whenever we do initials, she uses a B for Brittni, which can also be used for my last name, Bodin. So I luck out! Cute, cute!

Supplies:

Wood Board (I bought this one from Michaels for $3)

Jewelry wire (thick)

Paint

Beads

Hammer & Nail (or drill)

Take your board and paint your base coat

Next, paint your design.

Once you're done, take your hammer and nail, and make two holes on the top. This will be what you hang your board up with.

After you make your holes, you are going to take the jewlery wire and make what you are going to hang your artwork up with.

(I got this idea from Girl's Camp) Take a pen and start wraping the wire around the pen to create a "swirl" design with the wire. I did the twisting about every 2 inches, and not around the whole thing. It's your preference what you do.

Here's a picture of my completed wire.

Now take your beads, and thread them on to the wire. These are the beads I used (on sale at Michaels for $1 a bag!)

Now put the wire through the hole you made on one side, and twist it around to make it stay.

Voila! Now find a place to hang your new masterpiece!!! Thanks again Brittni!

Now I have a beautiful new wall decoration for around $5!

Flower Vase

So, I came home today to have dinner made, flowers on the table and......CHOCOLATE! Does my husband treat me right or what?! The only thing wrong with this picture? Yes, I know you see it. The cup vase, haha. Sadly, I do not have a vase. Being married just over a year gives me a good reason not to have all the nick-nacks of having a household of your own for a while. SO, project #1 immenses!

I took the same cup, and coated it with a layer of white paint.

If you're anything like I am, you can't stand to have those lines on it, so I coated it with 3 layers (smiley face).

I had extra ribbon and TONS of buttons laying around, so I decided to make a bow to put on my project. Come up with something creative to put on yours too!

The glass cup still looked a little plain with just the bow, so I decided to do some "vine" designs with my puff paint (again, the puff paint was just sitting on the counter).

So, here's the finished product! Not too fancy, but it got the job done!

Aren't they PRETTY?!

I love my new vase. Now, if only I can get Andrew to bring me home flowers every night so I can put my vase to good use!

Happy Craftin Y'all!
