Please comment & post any tips or tricks you have run into on your crafty travels as well!
I love simple & messy crafts, I tend a little toward the inexpensive side, (when I can) & I am not afraid of any medium or color....I LOVE COLORFUL THINGS! Especially those that are made from the heart & given in love!!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05904232821422663909noreply@blogger.comBlogger84125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582031721770537469.post-16526255240335889792014-04-25T21:25:00.002-04:002014-04-25T21:25:14.810-04:00God bless America!! <div style="text-align: center;">

What do you get your geologist dad for Father's Day? You frame your awesome Earth Day art for his office! Thanks for the great art Mrs. Komar (1st grade)! I simply covered the background in butcher paper & adhered the art! It turned out super cute and looks great in J's office!! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> During some extra "snow time" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">C & I hit the craft room for some canvas fun! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got out everything we had for a few of these....including a ton of tops and caps we had set aside to recycle into something great. Our first idea was a tree...we were recycling on a canvas after all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o0FBMv_Aj3k/U1sFdzfm9xI/AAAAAAAACFA/9DkKDtpwQ18/s1600/DSC04304.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o0FBMv_Aj3k/U1sFdzfm9xI/AAAAAAAACFA/9DkKDtpwQ18/s1600/DSC04304.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X79WVSirPgU/U1sFglxrcZI/AAAAAAAACFM/Cnvf5dtR3bI/s1600/DSC04303.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qHHSYYIWdFo/U1sFgWjVFSI/AAAAAAAACFI/eSRn0RTlCV4/s1600/DSC04305.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;">For this one we got creative for Valentine's Day! C painted the canvas orange. I cut out the "LOVE" on my Cricut & made a version of it out of tape. the tape sticker then goes on the orange canvas & we painted all of that white. Next C painted the multi-colored hearts all over the canvas. then C had a stroke of genius...."Mom, lets marble paint it!" So we did! Once it was all dry we peeled the "LOVE" sticker off and Voila! </span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">And last, but not least....we combined a Cricut cut, a foam circle brush & some more recycled caps. My Favorite of the three....maybe.</span></div>

And the Bic ones ROCKED!! (I have the ultra fine & fine ones for my journal - I LOVE how they write!) My ultimate test was doing lime green (my fav color) on the new plates. The Bic marker kept its color through the oven process, the Sharpie brand turned green/grey. </span></span></div>

I <i>had </i>to jump on the Sharpie / plate phase....and here is my take on it....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you really going to toss this in the dishwasher or eat off of it, ever? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not me - so, in my opinion it doesn't need to be dishwasher safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....so....I let my son color our family portrait on a Dollar Tree plate with Sharpie brand markers, baked it at 350 for 30 minutes, let it cool & put it on a stand. BAM! cute art accomplished! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are going to eat off of it, make a birthday or "Great Day" plate, then you will want to try different markers & methods of washing the finished plates. *I hear that the oil/paint based Sharpies are the way to go, but have NOT tried them myself.*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**I also had C decorate small glass candy jars at Christmas for his grandparents, also from Dollar Tree, and then filled them with their favorite candies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he did a napkin holder in an owl motif for my office.</div>

For the last two years our city has done a summer art project with proceeds going to a local charity. The first year it was ginormous plywood fish decorated & sold throughout town & this past summer it was dogs $300-ish donation & puppies $35 donation. This inspired me to make a Ferry Falcon, my son's school mascot. After mentioning this at a PTA meeting a fellow mom, who loves to do woodworking projects was enlisted & the Ferry Falcons were born! Each class is doing one for our upcoming auction. Here is the one that I did in celebration of Reading Month & Dr. Seuss' birthday - this one will not be auctioned, but roost in the library, along with the "Fish in the Pot", which I got the pattern off of Pinterest for! </div>

Now, to tackle it! I started taking pictures and making Snapfish / Shutterfly* books with his art. I chose a 12x12 style & lots of clip-art & poems off of the internet to highlight the "theme" of his art. Because I am a </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">saver/hoarder, I also still had his preschool calendars....so, I knew the date and "day" (theme) they were doing at school when the ar</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">t was made. I then measured them & typed up a caption for each piece of art, in the sam</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">e way a gallery would label a piece. The best part of the book was being able to put in pictures of him doing/showing his art or even a field trip after a week of themed art projects on the </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">page as well. </span> </span></span></span></span></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">*To get such a big book at a great price, I use MyCokeRewards and cash them in for Snapfish / Shutterfly credits....they have great deals when using "Coke Points" to pay! </span></span></div>

We painted it a neutral color (it was min green) and I started adding primary touches and OWLS!! I think they are adorable...and, I have been told that my maiden name, Uhl, means owl in German (the German spelling is eule I believe.) Also, C had some GREAT owl art from preschool & kindergarten, so it all came together great!! Here are a few of the owls & art I have added. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
C made this owl in 4's preschool, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I matted it in primary colors for my room</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
& added the age he was when he made it. </div>

C made this one in kindergarten.<br />
it is a crayon owl they made<br />
at the beginning of the year. <br />
I matted it with a fabric that<br />
looks super cute in my room &<br />
used a damaged frame from JoAnn's<br />
that cost about $2<br />
(the plexi-glass was cracked, so I just took it out)<br />

This is a 4x6 frame that I have had<br />

a tiny 2.5" x 2.5" owl, matted it<br />
and put acute printed paper behind it.<br />

The BEST Pinterest idea YET!!<br />
Take a copy of "Oh, The You'll GO!" and have all the teachers throughout the yearS sign with a special message to your child!! C is only in Kindergarten and he was already excited about the messages his teachers wrote this year!! (Also, we received this book as a gift when he was born, so it already has a message from Aunt Jude in it, encouraging & inspiring him for a lifetime of well-wishes and great adventures!!)Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05904232821422663909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582031721770537469.post-32853846597714763462012-07-02T09:47:00.000-04:002012-07-02T09:47:04.623-04:00BEADS!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

...so, here's another Pinterest idea! Melt plastic, CLEAR pony beads at 400 for 20+ minutes! Wendy & I got a little creative with the designs of these!! *I will post more pictures of the finished products when I get the holes drilled &me in a 9" pie hang them outside, they look great!! We even made some in a 9" pie dish to get some VERY big circles!! <br />

One of my good friends is a Kindergarten teacher and regularly has me make cards for her kiddos. These ones were inspired by Pinterest (of course) and given out at the end of their summer K-Camp, introducing the new Kindergartners to the school. <br />
