How to Paint Dandelions with a Toliet Paper Roll

2/17/2021

0 Comments

 
We love to recycle junk and repurpose it into art materials.  Today, we're sharing this inventive way to use a toliet paper roll to make those beautifully billowy dandelions that look like they could float away with a puff of air.  This method is done with acrylic pouring paints which means they are very liquid-y and thinned out.

Origami Heart Garland to Celebrate Valentine's Day or Someone You Love

2/13/2021

0 Comments

 
We love this little video on how to make origami hearts. Make several of them and string them together for a DIY heart garland.  You could do it for Valentine's Day or any day to celebrate someone you love!  We tried it ourselves with different colored and patterned origami paper and it looks great.  It's very easy to pick up on how to make them and then keep making them as long as you want the garland to be.  

Watch the complete video here.
