2026 art projects so far including a bucket list item!

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m excited to tell you about the fun art projects that I’ve created so far this year. One of those projects was even a bucket list item. I don’t get around to creating art as much I would like but I’m happy with the projects that I’ve made so far this year. With all that being said let’s get to it!

January 10th – On this day I made my first art project of this year. I had a mosaic art kit that I got from target . This art kit is different from the ones I usually get. It was more than just a simple coloring or painting project. The first step was to paint the flower design then it was time to glue on the colorful rocks. I enjoyed doing this art kit it was different but still fun and relaxing and the same time. It was fun to do something a little different for my first art project of 2026.

January 15th ( Bucket list item 397 decorate a tote bag) – I got this craft kit at Target and I was so happy to make this project because not only because it was fun to make but it was also a bucket list item! I used the stencils and paint that came with this art kit but I also used some supplies like stickers and puffy paint that I already had. I had fun creating a colorful designs. I love having simple items like this on my bucket list because I get to have some carefree fun and it also gives me a feeling of accomplishment at the same time. That is why I encourage people to put simple items on their bucket lists.

February 4th – On this day I finished coloring a simple craft kit that I got at Hobby Lobby. This craft kit was a simple coloring craft kit. The kit came with two wooden pieces to color I choose to color the heart shaped piece that had a dog on it. I had fun coloring this cute design. I liked how colorful and fun it looked when I finished coloring it.

February 7th – On this day I went to my favorite local party supplies store. I got this really cool craft kit where you make paper flowers. Like the first craft kit I wrote about in this post this is also different from what I usually get when it comes to craft kits. I started out by following the directions then I decided just to make the flowers how I wanted. I had more fun just gluing the pieces together in whatever way or order that I felt like. I even mixed some of the colors together to create flowers with multiple colors of petals . I liked the way that flowers turned out and I’m glad I decided to just let my creative flow without following the step by step directions.

Thank you for reading about the art projects that I’ve done so far this year.

Midnight monster truck painting

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In my previous post, I forgot to mention an art project that I did on July 7th. I probably missed the pictures when I was looking back because I decided to do this art project shortly after midnight. With all that being said, I’m excited to tell you more about this art project, so let’s get to it!

Monster truck art kit – I love art kits. I got this one from Target. Target is a great place to get inexpensive art kits. This one was a simple painting art kit. That came with a wooden monster truck, two paint brushes, and a few small containers of paint. I chose to paint my monster truck orange and blue because those are the Mets colors. However, I also used green. I added dots to my monster truck. I really enjoyed doing this project.

A trip to the toy store and a sticker suncatcher art kit

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’ve been in an artsy mood lately. On Saturday I went to one of my local toy stores and I got two art kits , stickers, and a box with three horses in it. Last night I decided to open the sticker suncatcher art kit that I got on Saturday. I loved this art kit! I love using stickers instead of paint to make sun catchers. It is a fun and mess free alternative to paint. This craft kit was very enjoyable and I with there were more kits like this that used stickers instead of paint to make suncatchers because I don’t see kits like this often. One of the sun catchers was shaped like an ice pop the other was shaped like an ice cream cone. The design of the sun catchers made me even more excited for summer then I already am! If you get a chance to do a sticker suncatcher art kit I highly recommend it!

Thank you for reading about this art project!

Wonderful water bottle art kit !

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! I love sharing my fun creative adventures with all of you. Last week, I got an art kit at the thrift store.  This art kit comes with a water bottle and supplies to decorate the water bottle with, and yesterday was the day that I decorated the water bottle. I’m excited to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!

Water bottle art kit –

This art kit was simple it came with a plane water bottle and colorful tape and shiny stickers to decorate the water bottle with. Wrapping a water bottle with tape was a little more challenging than I thought it would be, and it definitely looks messy in certain places. However, I enjoyed doing this art it and I love my new water bottle. I even took it to work with me yesterday. I think I will carry my new colorful and shiny water bottle with me on some of my upcoming summer adventures! This was a great thrift store find!

Thanks for reading about this creative adventure!

Painting a lamp !

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! I bought this really cool craft kit on Amazon . It was a simple painting craft kit, but it was so much fun to do. I can’t wait to tell you more about it some. Let’s get to it!

When I saw this craft kit, I knew I wanted to get it. I do lots of craft kits, but the thing that made me excited about this craft kit was that it was shaped like a cat and that it lights up. After I painted it, I turned the light on, and I loved the way it glowed and made the paint look. I had fun painting this lamp. I find painting to be relaxing, and I would love to do another kit like this sometime.

Lots of shopping, decorating a bucket hat, painting a frog, going swimming, and more!

Hello, my beautiful bucket list, friends! To help me get caught up with my posts, I decided to put a bunch of my July highlights into one big post, and this is that post! I hope you enjoy reading about some of my favorite summer fun moments. Let’s get to it!

A fun trip to Target on July 7th – I went on a shopping trip to one of my favorite stores, and of course, I got some fun items. Some of my favorite items I got were a Barbie notebook, Barbie coloring pages, a Barbie doll that was on sale, squishmallows ,stickers, and two summer themed activity kits I also got some really fun Barbie pens! It was a great trip to one of my favorite places to shop.

My bucket list bucket hat – I recently put this item on my bucket list, and I was happy to cross it off. It was a project that took a long time, but I was so happy with how it looked when it was done. This hat really looks like a work of art and just so happy that I was able to make something like this!

Going swimming -I got to go swimming on July 25th. I went swimming at a gym pool that I had been to before but it had been a long time since I had been there. I don’t get to go swimming as much as I like, so I was really happy to get a chance to do this classic summer activity.

friend hangout on July 22nd – I got to see my friend this month. It was a simple hangout where we went to Starbucks and the park, but it was a great hangout. Anytime you get to see one of your favorite people, relax, and have a good conversation, it is a good time.

frog art project -I bought this art kit from Five Below. It was a simple painting art kit. I love doing art kits like this. Kits like this are great for relaxation. I had a fun time doing this kit. I loved painting the frog, and I’m really happy that I got this kit.

shopping at Five Below on July 14th – I love going to this store, but I do not get to go often. I put going to Five Below on my summer bucket list because I wanted to motivate myself to go shopping here since it had been a long time. Well, I did get to go, but I did not have much energy because I had bronchitis. The pharmacy I went to was very close to the Five Below, so I went there after picking up my medication. I got some fun items, of course. I’ve been really into stickers lately, so I got some while I was shopping here. Other items I got were squishy toy craft kit, a very small Barbie doll, a Squishmallow water bottle, and a Barbie nail set. I did not spend a lot of time in this store because I was not feeling well and I had very low energy. However, I’m still happy that I got to go, and I’m happy with the items I did get.

Shopping at savers on July 24th – I went shopping at Savers! I bought some fun items, including a bunch of stickers that were in a bag of scrapbooking supplies, a sand art kit, a Barbie book, a My Scene doll, and a cassette player.

Shopping at work – ok, I did so much of this. I don’t even know where to start! I did get lots of stickers, so I guess I can start with that! Our Hallmark vendor put out lots of stickers, and I have had a great time buying them. Some other items that I got at work during July included a bucket of playdough that came with playdough cutters, a Hot Wheels car that look like a slice of cake, an LOL doll, a summer ChapStick set, a Hello Kitty Lip Smackers set, and a Hello Kitty coloring book.

I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my July adventures!

Colorful and fun painting art kits

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Earlier this month, I had fun painting two wooden art kits. Both of the kits are originally from Target, but I think I got both of them from thrift stores. The first one I want to talk about was interesting because it was a layered ocean picture made out of wood. To paint this craft kit, you removed different layers of the picture and painted each one, and then you put it back together. I had a lot of fun doing this craft kit. I loved the ocean picture and all the sea animals. when I had finished painting all the different layers, I decided to paint the frame with some colorful dots. I hope to do more craft kits like this in the future. The other craft kit was one where your painted wooden shapes. The kit was made for Christmastime. There were three wooden treats that you painted. My favorite one to paint was the mug of hot chocolate, but I’m happy with they way that all three of the wooden treats looked when I was done painting them. I hope to do more craft kits soon, but things have been very busy lately.

Thank you for reading about my art kit fun!

Crayola garden stake art kit

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I got one of the many art kits from my room. I had the day off, and art is something I love to do on my days off. This art kit was a simple painting art kit. The point of this kit is to paint a wooden garden stake. The kit came with three paint colors, but it also came with a color mixing guide. I did use the guide so I could get more colors. I did enjoy this art kit, and I’m happy with the final results!

Two wooden Easter crafts

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday, I got some Easter craft kits at Dollar Tree, and I just finished coloring the two wooden craft kits that I got . The first one I colored was a wooden Easter decoration that comes with markers. There were two of the same decorations included in the craft kit, but I just colored one of them. I love the way that the colors popped on the wood. My project looked very bright and colorful when I finished coloring it. The 2nd craft was coloring a Ping-Pong paddle that comes with a ball attached to it. It also came with markers to color it. I love how the basket that is part of the design on the ping-pong paddle has a bow on it. I also love all the flowers. When I was done coloring it, the ping-pong paddle was a bright and beautiful work of art. I love simple craft kits like this, and I’m glad I was able to do two of them today!
