Easter is on it's Way Bunny Craft!

Are you all ready for Easter?  Do you have your house all decorated?  I just got my decorations out a few days ago and decked the whole house out in pastels!

I have been crafting like a mad woman because Spring Break is just about over.  Spring term starts for me on Monday.  Man, I wish I just had 1 more week!

Here is what I have been working on.  Isn't she a cutie?  

I also LOVE, LOVE the bird cage I got at Michael's last weekend!  Got it 50% off.  I had the bird's nest from last year, and my 10 yr. old added the little birdies:)

This craft is a Thoughts in Vinyl craft kit.  This particular kit is on SALE right now for $10!  What a deal!!  

I put my own little twist on it by using Washi tape for the nose instead of the vinyl nose.  I also added a pretty Pink Tulle bow!  This was a super fast and Easy project!!

I am so proud of myself.  I opened up a new package of M & M's to use in this picture and I did not even eat one!  Aren't you proud of me??

I'll be back tomorrow with another adorable Spring/Easter Craft!  

I am off to enjoy my last day of freedom for a few months!  

Have a fabulous Day!

DIY Mini Pallet Art: {My version}

I have to admit it.  I am not very good at coming up with my own original crafts!  I usually put my own twists on things though.  

Here is my twist on an AWESOME Tutorial by Ucreate.  She created some beautiful Pallet D'ecor.  

Mine is an Easter version:

Isn't she cute?  

I used regular popsicle sticks.  My canvas is 4 x 6 size {got mine at a thrift store for about .50 cents!  Very small, but let me tell ya, you DON'T want to have to cover a large canvas with those buggers.  It is kind of a pain to cut the sticks, but it went fairly fast.

After I was done painting mine, I sanded over the top with some sandpaper to make it look a little distressed.  

For the "Happy Easter" and the cute little chick, I used Martha Stewart stencils.  The stuff next to the "Happy Easter" is Washi tape, then I put a cute little yellow bow on top.  

Have you tried Pallet Art yet? 

If you have I would love to see it!  Leave your link in the comment section!

Have a great day:)

Easter Subway Art on a Canvas Tutorial

I don't have school on Fridays (yay!), so I got in the crafting mood!  I had ordered some Subway art from Simple Crafts a few weeks ago.  Today I finally used it.  I had bought a 12x12 canvas from JoAnn's a week or so ago (about $4).

 

I watered down some orange paint (Tangerine), and painted the canvas.

I let it dry for about 1/2 hour, while I ate a yummy smoothie with chips and salsa, and a tiny bit of homemade Chicken Noodle soup!

I laid the vinyl over the canvas to make sure everything fit ok.

Here is what it looked like when I finished!  

See those cute little rattan balls?  I will post about those in a few days!

Spring Flower Wall Art- My Take

You know I love going to Salvation Army when they have the 1/2 off sale.  I have a huge bag full of stuff that I haven't done anything with yet, but I am slowly working my way through it!

During Spring Break (which is over for us....SAD) I got creative and made a cute framed Flower Wall Art for my living room.  I didn't do a tutorial for you, because I can't totally take credit for it.  Alison over at Oopsey-Daisy did one too and I patterned mine after her fabulous looking one!  She did a great tutorial on her blog.

Instead of using Burlap for my background, I used a fabric quarter I got from Joann's 40% off!  I didn't sew on mine, and Alison did.  I was too lazy:) I painted spray painted my frame aqua blue. 

Well, here she is.....Whatcha think????

I glued everything on with a glue gun.  I used a piece of cardboard from a cereal box for the backing.  I sprayed adhesive on the cardboard and attached the fabric.  

I love how it brightens up my living room!  

I start school tomorrow.  I am taking Math, Spanish, Health and a Running class!

I am going to be a busy woman, but hopefully I will still be able to have time for some crafting too!!
