To mix, use one part texile medium and 2 parts paint.   Dip large round applicator in foliage green paint and gently scrape off excess. Press applicator onto hat above the bill, gently turn the applicator in a circular motion to make the circle larger. Do this on both sides for ...

 My son Luke's birthday is on the 14th November, so i decided to gt his party bags ready whilst i had a spare moment....low-and-behold i could not find them, we bought some standard plastic one, which are available in most stores. I needed a back up plan, well where do I turn??? to my stash of course.  I bought brown paper bags with the intention of making a paper bag scrap album...but did not get round to it., thank goodness..... After perusing  Pinterest  I thought I would make some paper bag owls. Materials Brown paper bags White paper Black paper Brown paper Nestibles circle die-cuts Orange Sharpies marker Method Using the nestibles circle die cuts I cut out black circles, using the smallest circle, white next smallest and brown next size up and finally white circles the largest size die. Next i glued the white to the brown, then the black to the white to create the owls eyes. Fold the top of the paper...

Well guys, its coming to that time of year........yes....christmas craft making time. The kids and i had these Five fingers snowman ornament, which i originally found on  Full of great ideas , there is a wonderful step-by-step pictured tutorial. My version Love the way the white contrasts with the red bauble I made 6 of these in total Surprised at how good it looks I did not think i would like the silver baubles, so i used these as my practice ones, but i really like them, i am surprised that they look so good. Not only do we have keepsakes for this year, but we have started a tradition, as each year i plan to make more with the kids to see how they have grown. I made 6 of these baubles - Luke did 3 and Chloe did 3, so we are going to keep a set, and the other sets will be given to my parents and parents-in-law. The kids enjoyed this activity so much.  I would recommend that you try this......

With the summer already up on us, and lolly pop sticks are out in force.  I thought that this project would fit the bill. Items Needed: Ice lolly/Popsicle sticks Drinking glass/cup (for forming- use a glass with a top opening that is slightly smaller than you want your bracelet to end up) Emery board or sand paper Acrylic paint Stick on jewels (for bling) Mod Podge Allow the lollypop / Popsicle sticks to sit in water overnight. They are easier to curve them to fit into the top of a drinking glass once they have become completely saturated. If you find the sticks are not pliable enough after the overnight soaking, soak them in boiling water for a further 30 minutes. Be prepared, that some of the sticks may snap, so I suggest that you aim to make more than you actually need. Pop them in the rim of the glass and leave to dry out overnight, then take them out, if they have not completely dried leave them a fu...
