Canvas and Elephant Crafts

While I was on my little hiatus I made like 5 videos but most of them got deleted or I lost them. 

So here are some pictures of some of the things I made. 

Redo Elephant 

Elephant String Art (I'm not a fan of this one)

Canvas and Hot Glue Art (This has more detail in person) 

Canvas and Glitter Art

Rolling Pin and Paint Canvas

So I put some stencils on this canvas and paint and just rolled over it using a rolling pin. Yeah, it was not a good idea but my rolling pin has a really cool design on it now.

Canvas Inspiration

I think this is just turning into a blog 

about crafts. 

Who cares! Crafts are awesome!

My latest canvas piece. 

I found this really cool canvas art on 

Pinterest, where it was painted these awesome 

colors, then they put tape over it and spray painted

it gold. So the colors under came through when the 

tape came off. 

Anyway I am not patient enough to wait for it to dry so 

I just put tape down in different patterns

and painted over it. 

Start with a blank canvas (duh)

I was doing this on my bathroom floor because

I was also coloring my hair :) 

Added some tape and some paint. 

I used different size washi tape to mix it up a bit. 

Finished painting it, let it dry and 

then took the tape off. 

I don't really love the tape design I chose. 

I should have created straight lines and 

tried not to blend it on some parts.

 I also should have really squared the center purple. 

Now I am trying to choose a quote to go in the middle. 

A. "Life is better when you are laughing"

B. Quiet people have the loudest minds"

C. "When it rains, look for rainbows. 

When it's dark, look for stars"

D. "Today is the perfect day to be happy"

Craft Day

I love to craft.

But I'm not crafty

There is a difference.

And don't let me anywhere near paint. 

I will paint everything, even myself.

But I had no plans yesterday afternoon 

and I decided to do some crafting.

I wanted to do those string art where 

you wrap the string around the nails and

it makes an outline of a picture. 

That didn't happen.

So I went to the dollar store because 

It's cheaper and got some ribbon, 

because I love ribbon, 

sticker, glass stuff, and random things.

Also if it is cheap I will buy it.

It's a problem I have.

Then I went to wal-mart,

I really don't like that place.

And got some more stuff. 

And they had paint on sale so I had to buy at 

least 6 bottles.

I was thinking I would try the string thing

until I got home and realized that it was

way to much work and I only had a couple hours.

So I pulled out a canvas I had, 

Only because I bought it on sale, 

and thought up an idea.

My penmanship is bad but I love those canvas art 

where the word is painted in it. 

But I had to solve the letter problem. 

So I used scrapbooking letter stickers. 

And this is what I made...

The stickers were not very sticky, 

I knew that paint would bled under but I painted it anyway.

Blue and purple are one of my favorite combinations.

Good thing I bought that paint, right?

I started the colors light and let them get darker, 

giving it an ombre type look.

Which was just adding water to the first rows and

 more paint to the later ones.

After I painted it and used my blow dryer to 

dry it up and peeled off the letters

Finished product...

I think I'll add a silhouette of a dancer on the left side 

but I love how it turned out.
