Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art


Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art



What you'll need:

Toilet paper or paper towel rolls
hot glue and hot glue gun
paint (optional)
sissors

You will want to flatten your cardboard roll out. It makes it easier to cut as well as giving the pieces the shape they need to be. Then start cutting pieces that are all the same width so that you end up with cardboard rings like below.



Then you start gluing your pieces together to create your flowers. 



You will also need to have extra pieces of cardboard to shape into the swirly pieces that connect the flowers. Once you get it laid out how you want it then start gluing it all together. I liked the light brown natural color of the cardboard so i didnt paint mine, but you can paint it if you want to add color. You will need straight pins to lightly nail on the wall to stick each of the flowers on so that it retains it shape. i just put a straight pin in the middle of each flower. So pretty easy craft and easy to hang.

DIY Hand Painted Bull Skull Shirt

My DIY hand painted bull skull shirt.

What you'll need is...

Paint (fabric paint would be the best, however i used a little bottle of acrylic paint since it wasn't going to be thick amounts applied)
A pattern to go by unless your wicked talented and freestyle one.

What I did was find a picture I liked and traced the outside of it onto the shirt. I then freehand shadowed and detailed the rest. It's not stiff to touch, like some paints leave fabric.
So as you can see it's pretty simple, turn a simple shirt, pretty. 

Happy Crafting

Halloween decorative wine bottle


So I thought these napkins were so cute when I saw them in the store. Needless to say, I bought them with no idea what to do with them. Then I was sitting there looking at my empty wine bottle and a thought happened. How cute would my too cute napkins look on my wine bottle.

All you need is some
Mod podge
Brown paint to make the bottle look dirty
Small paint sponge
Plastic spider rings (cut the ring off)
Napkins of your choice

Just mod podge the back of the napkin and carefully press it down onto the bottle. Use a sponge to apply very messily the brown paint onto the bottle to make it appear dirty. Then just hot glue the plastic spiders. 

The possibilities are really endless because it can be any kind of napkin for any kind of occasion.
