Perfect Pottery!

HI! This is the first letter of my name that i have painted at a pottery place and they cooked it! The place is called Dish it Out. I don't know if you've ever heard of it or if it is a chain operation or not, but it is so fun to go and paint stuff there!

Excellence in Engraving!

This is something called Engraving Art and you can get them a Michaels and probably A.C Moore. You just scratch off the marked areas with a tool that is given to you in the kit. Pretty simple yet fun!

Sandy Supplementing!

This is a sand painting that I made! I used Elmers glue to "draw" the designs and then I sprinkled green and blue colored sand on top of it then shook off the excess into the bucket or trash. Really fun and easy thing to do!

Funky Mounted Photo!

Last Day of School for all you CMS kids! Im home schooled so i was finished like 3 weeks ago!:) For this fun quick project you can use any size photo . Take it and glue it to a funky piece of scrapbooking paper. Trim it if it is too big but leave a big border. Write a caption below in cool handwriting or use a stencil. I wrote Razzmatazz because this is my grandparents dog Razz. So cute!

An all about you key chain!... using Shrinky Dinks! I used a horse cuz i do horseback riding, a football cuz i love watching NFL football(go panthers and steelers!), a soccer ball cuz i like soccer, a harmony sign cuz i love that sign as well as the peace sign, and a basketball one cuz at the time i was playing basketball!

Duct Tape Flower Pen

This is a fun craft that is quick and easy! You just take green duct tape and wrap it around a pen all the way to the top. Then rip of squares of colored duck tape and fold the corners down to make a point on the end then stick it on! Then once your done you do the same to some green to finish off the stem! It is such an easy but fun thing to do. It is hot out today! don't get too hot!

Brilliantly Painted Box!

Hey! Everyone likes a nice activity to do outside on a nice summer day while eating a popsicle! How about painting a little box? I got this plain wood box from Michaels then painted 2 coats of the teal. After letting it dry i uses a pencils eraser to do the polka dots! FUN STUFF! I will be unable to post tomorrow due to horseback riding... we are going swimming with the horses!!!! So Fun!

Awesome clay plaque

Hi everyone! thanks for reading! This is a orange plaque that i have sculpted out of polymer clay(sculpey). i rolled out the base and used a pasta roller to flatten it and a oval shape to shape it! I put little balls on the clay and pressed with a little round tool to round them into flower petals and just twisted wire around a pencil for the wire kinks. i just pictured the bugs in my head and sculpted them for the tiny animals! Thanks!
