Home Sign

I wanted to make a sign to show that no matter where I go in the future Kansas will always be my home.

For this project I used one of my canvas boards left over from previous projects and purple stray paint also left over from previous projects.

I printed out the letters "H" "M" "E" and the outline of the state of Kansas and taped them to my board. Then, I spray painted the whole board and let the paint dry for an hour. After the paint is dry remove the letters and your left with the outline.

Crepe Paper Mountains

Since I had some left over crepe paper for my previous projects I decided to make some mountains in my dorms bathroom.

All you need to complete this project is scissors, tape, and crepe paper. Next, take your crepe paper and cut two 24in. strips. Then, take the two strips and tape them to any wall of your choice in a triangle formation. Then, cut four strips of crepe paper 12 in. long and tape then in a triangle formation at the bottoms sides of the bigger triangle.

Finally, cut out eight strips 1 in. long and tape them in the center of the two smaller triangles in a zigzag formation across the middle of the two smaller mountains.

Yarn Orbs

Well for starters I highly recommend you to follow the directions and use the right ingredients when creating this project. 

The supplies for this project include scissors, yarn, balloons, and Elmer's glue mixed with water. Since I did not have Elmer's glue I just used the spray glue from my precious projects and it didn't turn out so great. Like I said you should probably follow the directions on this one. The glue was so sticky that when I popped the balloon the whole outer layer caved in with it.

All you need to do to create this project is blow you balloons up to your desired size. Next, dip your yarn in the glue and wrap it around the balloon. To finish, let the glue dry and pop the balloon. If you want to hang it just tie a piece of string to it and display it where ever you like.

I'm sure if I followed the directions this project would have turned out pretty awesome.

Halloween 2 in 1

It's getting to that time of year, Halloween! Halloween is my second favorite holiday. Bet you can't guess what may favorite holiday is. (Hint: It's Christmas. I love all the Christmas music.)

So, to decorate my dorm room for Halloween I decided to go with simple, classy and humorous. For my DIY project I cut out bats and taped them to the ceiling of my dorm room, but here's the kicker. I also taped what my roommates and I love the most if front of the bat. So it looks like the bats are flying towards the objects we love most.

Awesome right! As you know from previous blogs I like to spice things up a bit.
