Vibrant Button Tree on Canvas
Buttons aren’t just for seamstresses you know. I always have a stash of buttons on hand for a variety of projects. I love using them with kid’s crafts, they are great for dressing up little projects, and perfect for a quick embellishment. Buttons definitely have more uses than just fastening a blouse closed. This button tree I finished today is a perfect example. I was presented with a challenge by the fine folks at Buttons Galore and More and Jacquard Products to come up with a project using these gorgeous three dimensional paints and a variety of stunning buttons. There’s a bonus too. I’ve had a brand new, still in the shrink wrap, 20″x24″ wrapped canvas sitting in my craft room for months. So I pulled out the canvas and some pastel colored spray paints I had in the craft room. I drew a simple tree trunk onto the canvas, sketching lightly with a pencil. This is where I had a little fun with the dimensional paints! That’s it! So what do you think?
homemade lavender beeswax candle | lightlycrunchy
I finally got around to making a beeswax candle. I had a big block of beeswax just sitting around, waiting for me to do something with it. I have gifting plans for this one, but the rest of the gift awaits me getting off of my lazy behind and finishing it. Baby steps. Beeswax candles smell great, burn with less soot and smoke and have no chemicals. DIY Beeswax Candle Materials: beeswax (enough to fill your container)box graterglass measuring bowlessential oil of your choicebraided cotton wick and wick clipcontainer of choice to hold the candle Directions: Grate the beeswax and melt in 1 or 2 minute increments in the microwave, stopping and stirring occasionally. While that is happening, pull a length of wick through the wick clip, crimp the clip to hold the wick in place, dip it in a little melted wax and secure it to the bottom of your container to hold it in place. Once the wax has melted, add in an essential oil of your choice (supposedly 10-12 drops per every 5.5 ounces of wax).
Birds on a Branch Silhouette Painting
I made this birds on a branch silhouette painting for my daughter for Christmas. She recently moved into her first apartment and I wanted to give her a special gift. It had to be a surprise though, I didn’t want her to know what it was. I started snooping around on her Pinterest boards to see if there was anything I could draw inspiration from. However, the link from Pinterest was a dead one, it went to a blog that had been closed down. Now here’s a funny story. Anyway, my daughter absolutely loved it and has it hanging in her room. Here’s the painting I made for her when she moved into her new place. I started out by grabbing a screenshot of the Pinterest inspiration and printed it off and used that as my template. I used Americana acrylic paints for this project. Warm WhiteLight ButtermilkFlesh ToneButterscotchTraditional Raw SiennaDark ChocolateBlack I started by painting the canvas with Light Buttermilk then softening the center with Warm White. The rest is really easy.
