Crafting Day

 Today, was a craft day. When it's a craft day, I find so many goo ideas, I just have to do them all!
I made this button banner for my bedroom. I thought it was the cutest thing!!!

 And I made this Crayon board that I am selling on my Etsy shop. =]

{DSP} Project #9: An Exploding Year

 An exploding year. I would have thought that this was crazy, if I hadn't seen a picture!

 I used little pictures instead of one picture that I did in January.

I had a lot of fun doing it! I am still working on it because this in only July!

 

Here is the link to the web site that I used to make this:

{DSP} Project #8: Painting with Acrylic Paint

Yesterday evening, Mom, Kelle, Jon, and I went to Hobby Lobby and I bought, (with my birthday money) an easel, a pack of 36 acrylic paint, brushes, and a canvas!! So this morning, I got up at 6:20 a.m. and I painted until 10:37 a.m.! I finished it in approximately 4 hours! Wow! I like painting in the Impressionist style!

 My Art supplies.

{DSP} Project #7: Embroidery

I embroidered this on a handkerchief that my Mom had. That worked out great!! It was my first embroidery project! It is not the best! But now I know how to embroider. :)

{DSP} Project #6: Meringues

My first cooking project is meringues! I thought I would chose something you don't make everyday! I never would have thought that three egg whites would turn out to be something so dreamy and melt in your mouth. Wow! I used mint extract and put green food die in it just for fun! This is so exciting! I just love watching the blender spin away and the egg whites slowly turn into a fun dessert!

 From eggs whites,

 To puffy meringues!

{DSP} Project #5: Pressed Flowers

I pressed these flowers a few weeks ago but they were finally ready for me to blog about it. All you need to do is get some flowers. I would suggest using mainly flat flowers. A piece of paper, and a big book. All you do is place your flowers into the folded piece of paper and put in the middle of your BIG book and wait a couple of weeks. Tada!!! Your done!!!

 Make sure you cut the stem just so it doesn't stick out what you put it in the paper.

My Garden Part 3


Yay!! I picked out some of my radishes in my garden!! I can't wait to taste some! I only got three in my garden so far, but in Dad's garden, he got 2 dozen!! Wow!! His are brighter than mine because he has wood chips underneath the black dirt.

{DSP} Project #3: Plush Owl Dolls

My third project finally!! These are so cute and so EASY to make!! Once I made one, I had to start making a lot!! I am selling some on Esty. These are really fun and super cute!!!

{DSP} Project #2: Decoupage Notebook

 The second project!!! Yay!! I made a journal out of a composition notebook! All you need to start is a composition notebook, Mog Podge, 4 sheets of scrapbook paper.

 And then, of course, your decorations. You can use whatever you want on the front and back.

Paint the front of your book with mog podge and place your scrapbook paper on top and smooth out all the air bubbles. Cut your paper so that there is about an inch of the side. Make a crease where the edge of your book is and put glue on the inside of the book where the paper is sticking out.

Fold the paper over the edge and fold the corner. Then, cut a piece of the paper so that it covers the white spot. :)

Cut a piece of your scrapbook paper to fill in all the white and glue in place. Then repeat for the back of the book.

Now it is time to decorate. Be creative! Have fun!!

After you decorate your book, now it's time to put mog podge on every page. It's okay to cover everything in it, it will dry clear. When I made my first I was so scared that it would ruin my book but my friend said that it would be alright. After you paint the front, inside front, back, and inside back, and you let it dry, you are finished!!!! Yay!!

{DSP} Project #1: Ribbon Flowers

I have a summer project I am working on. It is called Diana's Summer Project or for short {DSP}. So that is my project for my blog! I will do post about every craft or activity. I am really excited about this!!

I made two hair pins out of ribbons! They were kind of confusing to do but I made up a few steps of my own! They are really fun!! At fist I thought I was NEVER going to be able to do this but I thought that I shouldn't give this up and I should finish it!!! And I finished it!!! Yay!!
