Colorful and fun painting art kits

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Coloring a wooden snowman! Blogmas day 16

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m here with a fun blog post about a simple coloring craft kit. These kind of craft kits are my favorites because they are easy to do and they are relaxing. I did this one right before I went to bed. I got this particular craft kit from the Dollar Tree. It came with a wooden snowman and markers to color him with. I like how the snowman is holding a bird. I decided to make the snowman’s scarf and the bird red and green to make this craft more festive! I mainly used the blue marker because the body and face of the snowman were the largest areas that I needed to color. I colored the hat green. I like that he has a top hat it reminds me of Alice Cooper. I love simple craft kits like this the most!

Two fun art kits and more designs in my Red Bubble store!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I did two art kits that were both from Walmart. One of them I got on Sunday, the other one I had gotten a while ago. The first one I did was a simple color, your own magnet kit. The magnet in this kit was shaped like a rainbow that had a cloud at each end. The kit came with three markers, but I wanted to use all the colors of the rainbow was I also used some markers that I already had. I really love simple craft kits like this. They are relaxing and fun. After the rainbow, I opened up the second art kit. This kit was a paint your own sun catcher kit that was in the shape of an owl. I enjoyed doing this art kit as well, but I wish it would have come with some brighter colors of paint. I will probably buy more art kits from Walmart in the future. Now, for the second part of this blog post. I’m really excited to say that I have been adding more designs to my Red Bubble store lately. I have gotten into doing digital art, and I have been inspired by the store that I work in, so you can expect to see some houseplant inspired based designs. Click HERE to see my store!

Another super fun Melissa and Doug craft kit

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It is no secret that I love doing craft kits. I’m always buying them and I having been trying to actually make more of them lately. On Monday I opened a craft get that I had gotten at a Goodwill back in August. This craft kit is from Melissia and Doug one of my favorite brands for craft kits. This kit had two magnets that your decorate with stickers and glitter glue. The two magnets in this kit were shaped like a firetruck and a train. I decided to make the train magnet first. This kit was pretty easy to do. It was also easy to figure out where the stickers were meant to go because there was a picture on kit. However, you can put the stickers wherever you want. There is no right or wrong way when it comes to putting the stickers on. After the stickers it was time for the glitter glue. There were two tubes of glitter glue in this craft kit. One was red and one was sliver. I didn’t use a whole lot of glitter glue for this project but I did enjoy outlining the firetruck with it. I also had fun making dots with it. I had fun doing this craft kit and I look forward to doing more Melissa and Doug craft kits in the future.

Thanks for reading about my craft kit fun!

Painting a colorful birdhouse

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I hope your week has gotten off to a great start. Yesterday, I had the day off so I decided to do one of my favorite things. I did an art kit. I have quite a few art kits that I have not completed yet so yesterday I chose a simple birdhouse painting kit. There where three paint colors included in this kit but I decided to also used some other paint that I had. In addition to that I decided to use a set of paint brushes that I had instead of using the small on that came with the kit. I wanted to make my house very colorful I also wanted to include dots on my birdhouse because there is something that is both fun and relaxing about painting dots. I really liked the size of this bird house. It wasn’t huge but it was large enough that I could spread out the colors. I made a video of me painting the bird house . You can find the video on my Instagram page my username is summerrockstar. Doing this art kit remined me that I need to do more of the art kits that I have in my room. I not only have fun doing them they are good for my mentle health as well. I’m really happy with how this project turned out!

Thanks for reading about this art project!

Painting a rocket!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I just completed painting a rocket that actually lights up. I got this art kit at Target in the Dollar section. It is very simple but also very fun. There were three paint colors in this kit and I only used two of them. This kit did not take long at all to complete but I’m very happy with the way it looks. I also love how the light changes colors. I would definitely buy other kit similar to this one.

Play-Doh kit fun!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! Recently I got this super cute Play-Doh kit from Walgreens. I’m home from work today not feeling the best but I did have the desire to open up this Play-Doh kit and use the animal shaped cookie cutters inside. There are a lot of cookie cutters in the kit. I decided to make one animal shape for each color of Play-Doh that came with the kit. There were seven colors in the kit but there were a lot more cookie cutters! There were so many to choose from. My three favorite cookie cutter shapes are the Teddy bear, the fish, and the cat! I had fun cutting out the shapes. It was a good mix of fun and relaxing. Maybe I should do more blog posts about Play-Doh because I really enjoyed doing this one!

Wonderful lavender slime and a thrift shopping adventure

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I have some fun things I want to tell you about. Let’s start with my visit to the slime kitchen last week. On Friday after work my mom and I went to get massages at the mall. We were both in need of some stress relief. In addition tp the massages I really wanted to check out a new place in the mall called the Slime Kitchen. Before this I hadn’t had a lot of experience with slime. I love playdough and I had played with things that were similar to slime a while ago but I have not used slime since it has become very popular in recent years. I heard about the Slime Kitchen on the mall’s Instagram page. It looked fun and interesting. After getting massages and going to Claire’s It was time to go to the slime kitchen. I wasn’t sure how it all worked but the staff was very helpful. I ended up choosing cloud slime and I made it lavender scented! I loved how you got to add two little toys into your slime I chose an ice cream cone and a lollipop! I did enjoy making slime. However, it was $25.00 so I probably won’t do it again but it was worth doing once. The next day I went to Savers to do some thrift shopping! It was more crowded then I expected it to be even for a Saturday. However, I was still able to get some pretty awesome items. Some of my favorite things I got that day are a Barbie collector book,a Barbie horse, some American Girl books, and a chalk book that comes with chalk. I also got another book that is summer themed maybe I can read it before summer ends.
