DIY Photo Canvas Hey there! So, I have seen so many cool DIY photo canvas projects on Pinterest and I had to do one of my own! My son is playing his first season of tackle football and I have taken a ton of pictures! I thought he would love to show them off in his room so I came up with this! It was so quick, easy and cheap! I started with 2 pieces of scrap MDF that I cut down to 8 1/2 x 10 1/2. I used a TON of wood glue to attach the 2 pieces together. Next, I broke out the black acrylic paint and covered all four sides and a little onto the outside edges. I printed out an 8×10 black and white, through walmart.com, and attached it with a spray adhesive. For the finishing touches, I used a stencil brush to dry brush the black acrylic onto the actual picture (all around the edges) and followed up with Modpodge, using the same dry brush technique for a textured, canvas-like, finish! That was it! I had to make several for him and he thinks they are pretty cool:) I want to do more around the house! ~Ashley

I Love You Pop-Up Card Circular Skirt Tutorial If you’re happy and you know it, twirl your skirt! Today, we will be making a DIY circular skrit. But with lining. I know I already made a tutorial on sewing a circular skirt but this will come with actual fabrics and sewing. All right, here we go. Oh, before we continue, make sure that you buy enough fabric for a circular skirt. outer layer: romantic victorian print / inner layer: history of quilting Now twirl. Doodles and Links Would you like to learn doodle, but don't know where to begin? Do you doodle, but need inspiration? I didn't know how to start doodling until I found a few very helpful tutorials and dove right in. I found a few places that offered tutorials. This was the very first day I ever "officially" doodled: I used craft paper, a clip board, and a pencil. At some point, I found Joanne Fink's tutorials (Zenspirations) on Sukura's website. and started using their Micron Pens. I used my clipboard and craft paper for a several weeks. One day, I found an almost new sketchbook at a yard sale. I bought it, knowing what I was going to do with it. Amazing what that little change in mindset did for my doodle time! I found a blue Micron on clearance and a pack of similar pens (Zig) at another yard sale (cheap), so I wasn't concerned about using up my pens too quickly. My Suggestions, Doodles, and Links I created a Title Page. Using a border first helps break up the page so it doesn't look so BIG and BLANK.

The metal used is usually thicker (tinplate) and is normally worked with hammered tools - I wanted to try to get a similar effect, but with a bit less effort. The Most Popular ArticleOn Atomic Shrimp No, really! More Metalwork If this project interested you, you might also like Lost Wax Casting Safety This project makes use of very thin sheet metal that is likely to have sharp, jagged edges and is prone to springing back. Great care should be taken to avoid injury. This project probably isn't suitable for children - and certainly not without supervision. Updated Autumn 2010 - now with Video Goodness!
