Spring Branches Tutorial plus Extras :)

Hey guys. The weather has been AWESOME the last few days here. I have loved it. Here's a new tutorial for you guys. It was really simple and cheap.

The quick run through is this : grab some branches from your backyard, scrapbook paper, florist wire, scissors, and glue. Cut out some leaf shapes and glue them back to back with wire in between. Wrap the wire around the branches and voila... Decorative spring branches :)

For the more detailed explanation see my video below. Plus, it is always nice to see things done for you in video form.

 

Now, for the extras. I found a clear iPhone case on Amazon for super cheap and ordered it. Then, I took some scrapbook paper and other stuff and made some cute backings... Now I have a completely customizable case for my phone. Genius, I know. :) Everyone should do it; really easy and worth it. Just be careful with the thickness of what you want for your design.

Anyways, thank you to all my awesome readers and YouTube viewers. I really do appreciate you all.

 

Quick Craft: Sunburst/Flower Painting Tutorial

 

Cute right? Well, this is my first quick craft and it's a great way to add some color to a room. Perfect for spring :) They are really simple to make; I'm pretty sure it only took me about 15 minutes to complete the whole thing.

 

 

 

 

Materials:

Canvas- bought at Michaels for about $5

Spray Adhesive- I use the Elmer's brand

Acrylic Paint- I recommend Martha Stewart Brand

Paper Petal Cutouts- about 42

Foam Paintbrush

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using your paint color of choice, paint the entire canvas. Let that dry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the spray adhesive, thoroughly coat the backs of the petals. Do this one or two at a time so they don't dry before they are placed on the canvas.

Place them on the canvas so they begin to form a flower. For the innermost part I use 8 petals. Then on the second rotation around, place a new petal in between every two of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And below, you will see my beginning placements of the petals and then my final project. I loved the way that it turned out and it looks great in our living room.
