This is such a fun and easy craft that you can do yourself or include your family!
Supplies 
-Glass Plate, I purchased mine for $1 from the Dollar Tree 
-Apple Barrel Multi-surface Acrylic Paint: I used Candy Apple Red and True Green .50 cents each
-Small Paint Brush Water cup, paint plate and napkins 
-Rubbing Alcohol (Optional) This craft can be done for under $5 if you find a plate for $1 or use one you already have. The paints are under $1 a piece. You can use any small brush.
You can customize how ever you would like.
​1. Clean the plate with water and soap, you can also clean the surface with rubbing alcohol if you have some n hand.
2.  Put your multi-surface paint on a paper plate. It does not take very much paint.
3.  Paint! If you make a mistake, rubbing alcohol or warm water will take the paint right off!! 
4.  Let dry overnight
5.  Bake in Oven
Set oven temperature to 350ºF. Once temperature has reached 350ºF, allow the project to bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the oven off and let glass cool down completely before removing from the oven. Cured surface can be washed 72 hours after baking.
Enjoy your cookies for Santa plate!!

How to host a pumpkin painting party!

10/23/2020

0 Comments

 


​Fall is here!!! It is time for everything pumpkin :) 
I have hosted several pumpkin painting parties over the past few years, they are always a big hit!! This is something fun that you can do with your family, a fall birthday party, or even for a group of friends! 
There is not a wrong way to paint a pumpkin, but here are some tips to make it a little easier. 
Supplies
Pumpkins- any size will work, make sure they are flat on the bottom and don't fall over :) 
Acrylic Paint (Apple Barrel, Craftsmart, Folk Art) Any inexpensive acrylic paint will work. Chalk Paint also works well for a matte finish.
Table Covers
Foam Brushes
Paint Brushes, a few different sizes
Water Cups
Paint Plates  ​

​Put your table covers down first, you might want to tape the cloths or paper down if you are painting outside. Set up a paint station where everyone can pick out their paints. If you have a large group, you might get several small bottles of paint and set them around on the tables so they can get their own paint.  Lay paint brushes and foam brushes around on the tables so they can choose their brush. Give everyone a water cup to rinse brushes and a paint plate.  If it is windy, you might want to use mason jars for water or a heavier plate. If it is windy, the plates will blow away, I learned this the hard way :) 

I typically just let everyone do their own design and create on their own. Here are a few tips!
-The foam brushes are best for painting large areas. 
-Stencils work great for pumpkins
-Let the paint dry between coats, it makes it much easier to paint over a background color. If you are painting with kids, you might plan a game or snack in between to keep them busy. 
-You can offer painters tape or round foam brushes for lines and polka dots, this might be best with adults. 
​-Once everyone is finished painting, make sure you take the paint plates right away or you will have paint everywhere! 
-Let them dry and everyone can take them home. Bring some old newspapers, these work great to put under the pumpkins in the car. 

Have fun with it!! You could also offer fall themed snacks or games, it is your party!!
If you have questions, let me know! I would love to see your pumpkin pictures!! 
Stay Creative

Turn your Dead Mums into Christmas Trees!!

10/3/2020

0 Comments

 
These are so fun to make! 
I don't know about you guys, but I always have dead mums... maybe a little earlier than they should be :)  This is a fun way to get a little more life out of your mums!
Supplies- 
Mum in plastic pot
Spray paint
Ornaments- DIY ornament kit
Rocks
String or hooks 
1- Remove the mum from the pot, this should be super easy because the dirt has dried up
2- Spray paint the plastic container, I used white inexpensive spray paint. Let dry
3- Spray paint the dead mum gently- I used green spray paint first, after dry I added some glitter spray.
4- When the pot is dry, put a few rocks in the bottom so it wont blow away
5- Add your mum back in the pot carefully
6- Decorate!! I used these wooden blank ornaments that you can paint yourself! DIY Ornament Kit
