Ribbon Wand

 Hi Y'all! Welcome to day four of my crafting adventures with my guest crafter!

What you'll need: 

-Wooden Rod

-Ribbon (we used three colors)

-Hot Glue 

-Flower 

-Paint  

To start- paint the wooden rod.  Once the rod is dry, use hot glue to secure the ribbon to the rod. We selected three colors of ribbon. I used hot glue to secure the flower. 

These are so pretty and lots of fun! Happy crafting!!!

Finger Painting Flamingo!

Today's craft was selected specifically for my guest crafter to give as a gift!

What you'll need:
-Paint (Pink)
-Glitter
-Sharpie
-Glue
-Canvas
-Mod Podge Spray

We started by painting the canvas white.  I then painted my guest crafter's hand pink!  She imprinted her hand onto the canvas and we let it dry.  Once dry, I applied a small coat of glue and we applied the glitter.  I used a sharpie to make the beak, eyes, and legs!  After the glue had dried, I sprayed the painting with Mod Podge Spray! 

Dandelion Dreams

Day two from my crafting adventures with my guest crafter!!! As I stated before, I choose these crafts to be quick and easy for kids!  I found this idea on Pinterest!  I chose this craft because I like the hands on finger painting, what kid doesn't like getting their hands a little dirty?

What you'll need:
-Paint
-Dandelion Template
-Hand Soap
-Water

To get the template for the dandelion go here---> http://gluedtomycraftsblog.com/2016/07/thumbprint-dandelion-kid-craft-wfree-printable.html#_a5y_p=5569861

I poured a few different colors of enamel paint into a paint palette.  Once I printed the dandelion template, we just dipped our fingers into the paint and applied to the template!  I chose to take a more simplistic concept, where as my guest crafter decided to take her creativity to the next level!   

Be sure to have hand soap and warm water ready to go to get those paint covered fingers clean!  Hope y'all enjoyed! Happy crafting!

Pixie Dust Magical Bottles

Here's the first craft feature from my adventures with my guest crafter!

What you'll need:
-Voss Water Bottle (we used glass)
-Water
-Glitter
-Glitter Glue
-Glycerin
-Brillo Pad
-Super Glue

First! Drink your water!  Once the water bottle is empty, use the brillo pad and warm water to remove the logo and product information for the bottle- I was surprised at how easy this came off, just take a few minutes!

Onto the bottle contents, we poured glitter, glitter glue, and a few drops of glycerin into the bottle and then added warm water.  For the glitter glue, we just used the Crayola Glitter Glue tubes and we used two per bottle.  At first the glitter seemed a little clumpy, but once you shake the bottle and allow the water to dissolve everything, the clumps went away. Use super glue on the inside of the cap to ensure that the top doesn't unscrew!

Loved making these bottles!!!  It's incredibly soothing to watch as the glitter settles, think I'll keep this one on my desk at work! Happy crafting, y'all!

Monogram Letters

Who doesn't love a cute monogram?  These make great gifts and are adorable! 

What you'll need:

-Monogram Letter (purchased mine from Michael's)

-Ribbon

-Bow

-Paint

-Stencil 

-Glitter

-Glue

-Cork

I began by painting the monogram - Stenciling the polka dots- Add Ribbon & Bow!

For the second monogram, I tried something a little different!  I painted the monogram, and instead of using the stencil to make the polka dots, I used a wide round cork dipped in glue to make the polka dots.  I then applied glitter.  I only did a few polka dots at a time to make sure the glue wasn't dry by the time I got to the glitter.  I added the bow and ribbon to finish it off.  

I love these monograms and they are pretty easy to make! Hope y'all enjoyed!!!
