I lay in bed and occasionally I come up with a good idea. This may be one of them - yarn snowballs. You will need: Cotton yarn, I tried acrylic but they didn't get hard enoughBalloons, I used the smallest ones I could findVaselineWaterElmer's GlueGlitterClothes hangerNeedle and threadSpray acrylicBagGet started: Step 1: Blow up balloons. I put too much air in some of mine and the end result is a yarn ball that looks like a balloon. Step 2: Cover balloon in a thin layer of Vaseline.
This isn't as messy as I thought it would be and my Little Man was able to help out with this step. Step 3: Soak yarn in a water and glue mixture. Step 4: After you have the balloon covered with yarn, run some thread through the tied off portion and hang it on a clothes hanger to dry. Step 5: Once balloon is dry, pop balloon and gingerly pull it out. Step 6: Place yarn ball in bag and go crazy with the glitter. Step 7: Pull yarn ball out and admire your handy work.

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to create a retro 1960s psychedelic concert poster. This tutorial relies heavily on the use of the Warp Tool, but includes a few other techniques as well. Let's get started. Create a new document with a poster-like size ratio. Visualize how you want the document to be laid out and draw some rough guides with the Brush Tool (B) on a new layer called "guides". I drew several different compartments that will each contain a different piece of text and one that will contain an image. Make a solid color adjustment layer and fill it with a deep purple. Now to set the first bit of text.
Go Edit>Transform>Warp and warp the text to fit the compartment. Now let's go back in and change the color on some of this text. Many of these old posters were screen printed. The thing that is really going to make this look good and realistic is some texture. Now let's move on to our image that will fill the rest of the poster. Now, let's get back to the poster.
