This craft from the past project was super simple and inexpensive to make. I love taking photos of animals and I wanted to print out my photos and display them in my apartment. Rather than putting my photos in frames, I wanted to place them on a canvas.
I wanted to do an inexpensive DIY project today, and so I decided to decorate a mug. I have seen different ways to decorate ceramic mugs, and one idea I really liked showed a bunch of dots outlining a letter (like this). Instead of using an initial, I wanted to do something cool like an outline of a dinosaur. A few Google searches later, I stumbled upon the perfect silhouette of a tyrannosaurus rex (I found it here).
Today’s DIY project was inspired by this pin on Pinterest. My addiction of buying earrings has led me to having a collection of them, which is roughly 35 pairs, 12 stray studs and counting. I needed a better way to keep track of my earrings, so I decided to save my money (more money for the earring fund) and make my own jewelry box for my earrings.
Lately I have been in the mood to paint, so I decided to experiment with acrylic paints. I wasn’t sure what I should paint, so I took my curiosity to Pinterest for some inspiration. I stumbled upon this pin that showed a cool way to do an abstract painting by simply placing dabs of acrylic paint on a paper or canvas, and then blending in the different colors. I thought this project would be quick and easy, so I decided to try out this idea with my own added touch to it.
School was closed and my classes were canceled due to icy weather conditions today, so it was the perfect time to be creative! In preparation for the bad weather, I knew I had to buy the supplies for this week’s DIY project a little bit earlier than expected.
I was perusing through Pinterest the other day and I saw a pin that featured different ideas for newspaper art. I was intrigued by a project that showed a collage made from articles of a newspaper on a canvas. I liked the idea of making a collage on a canvas, but rather than using newspaper, I wanted to use comic books.
