Modern Wall Art with Paint Swatches! Looking for a way to fill that blank wall but don't have permission to paint? All you need is a trip to a major hardware store and an afternoon in front of a good movie to take care of that little dilemma. Supplies Needed: Large frame with paper insert, a ton of pretty paint chips, double-sided tape squares, and vinyl letters appropriate to the size of your frame or phrase (4" - 6"). I went with a color scheme that involved a variety of tones from some of my favorite colors. It's basically a muted rainbow with plenty of lighter shades to keep things from getting too busy. 1. 3. Paint chip art is a great option for renters looking to fill a big space without spending a small fortune!
DIY Monday: Pet Portrait I'm excited to share this fun project with you for D.I.Y. Monday! This project is a how-to for a pretty portrait of your little best friend. If you're not an experienced painter, don't worry. Step 1: practice drawing you're pet. If you try sketching your pet and aren't feeling great about the results, try tracing a photo. Step 2: gather your supplies. Step 3: Sketch your pet on your canvas with pencil. Step 4: Paint the base colors of your design. note: Sometimes it helps me to have an inspiration source in my mind when choosing colors or a 'feel' for my paintings. Step 5: Outline with black paint and a small paint brush. Hope you enjoy painting your little cutie!

Ihr braucht: KorkenStreudekoKleber You need: corkdeco-confettyglue Ich konnte es kaum fassen, als mir kürzlich diese kleinen Vögelchen und Herzchen aus Holz begegnet sind. Gibt es Streudeko nicht sonst immer nur in hässlich? I found these wonderful little birds and hearts made of wood. Aren’t they beautiful? Also los geht’s: Here we go: Ein bisschen Kleber auf ein Herz der Streudeko geben… Put some glue on one of the hearts… …Herz auf den Korken drücken. Und Zeit gemessen?

» Hoe vettiger, hoe prettiger » Veetje Veetje Made by Veetje Gisteren deed ik een Pinterestje. Op school dan nog wel, als cadeau voor een ander. Samen met mijn knutselcollega’tje die eveneens de vakantie enkele uren negeerde, maakten we ons eigen klaverveld. Met vetkrijt en een haardroger. Yesterday I’ve made a Pinterest-idea. At school, together with my art-colleague, who also ignored the vacation for a couple hours.

I was in a used book store one time and saw a book on “rubbings” and it captured my attention, and we gave it a try for this week’s adventure. So grab your art supplies and head outside! For this week’s activity you will need… - Paper. - Rubbing Materials. - A Kneeling Pad. - A Folder. - Masking Tape. - A Tote. You could do a variety of themes out of rubbings – such as, a nature theme where you make rubbings of leaves and feathers and other natural objects. You can even make a collection of small rubbings all from different aspects of one particular subject. A few tips on making rubbings… Don’t use a sharp point of whatever art medium you are using, but rather use a blunt point or use it on an extreme angle. Start out marking lightly – if you press too hard, you’ll just be drawing on top of the surface, not really picking up the texture. I hope you enjoy it!
