Three fun craft kits !

Hello,my bucket list friends ! As many of you know I love being creative. Sometimes when I go shopping I like to buy fun arts and crafts kits. I have a quite a few of these stocked up. I’m really glad that I have all those kits because when I get into a creative mood I don’t have to look hard for something to do. Now without further delay. Let me tell you about three of these kits I recently completed.

 

Three fun craft kits !

I was in a creative mood so I chose three craft kits from my shelf to do. The first on was a foam sticker seen. This kit did not include any instructions just a picture to follow. I put the stickers all together to make a very cute and fun picture. I didn’t follow the picture exactly I just let my creativity flow in some places and I was very happy with the results. The 2nd kit I completed was a simple painting project.  I painted a cute duck it didn’t take long to complete and I was happy with how it turned out. The 3rd one was a Lisa Frank poster that you colored with markers. I found this one a little difficult to complete because the colors didn’t stick to the poster very well and the glitter on the poster made it hard to color. I waited till the next day to finish it .Even with those problems it turned out cute and I was happy with it but I probably won’t get another glitter poster kit again. So, there you have it three more fun projects completed. I’ll be sure to write another post when I do more projects ! Rock On – Christina Epperly

Fun with Yay Maker !

Hello , my bucket list friends ! Yesterday, my friend and I did a paint night by Yay Maker. for those of  you don’t know what a paint night or Yay maker is let me tell you. It’s basically an art class where everyone is making the same painting. An instructor leads the group in a step by painting class. It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to tell you more ! Let’s get going !

 

Fun with Yay Maker !

My friend and I signed up for this class a while ago but when yesterday finally came, I thought we were going to miss it . There were two accidents on the highway and that made traffic awful ! I was so upset because I knew we were going to be late and I wasn’t sure if they would let us join the class but they did ! The only thing that happened because we were late is that we didn’t get to sit together but that was ok because our paintings were a surprise to each other ! Once I sat down it only took a little while for me to catch up to the rest of the class. The hardest part for me was getting the turtles head to look how it was supposed to. It was also ok if you didn’t follow the directions exactly. In the original painting the turtle had a big flower on it’s back but I ended up doing something different and it turned out really cool . There were also other people in the class including my friend who did something different with the design on the turtle’s back. Once I got over the stress of being late, I had a lot of fun letting my creativity flow !  It was cool to look around and other peoples creativity as well ! Overall it was a fun experience and I recommend doing it of you get a chance.

 

 

Three fun Target crafts

Hello, My bucket list friends ! I love buying little craft kits from the Target dollar bins and I finally had some time to do a few of them. I had a fun time doing these little projects and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Here we go !

 

 

Three fun Target crafts

 

The first craft kit I tried was painting a wooden snail. The kit came with three colors of paint blue,green and orange. It was a quick and easy project but it was a lot fun to paint the very cute snail. I added some dots to my snail to give it whimsical look .  I was very happy with the way the snail turned out. I recommend this craft kit.

 

 

The 2nd craft kit I did was a paint your own clothes pins kit. this cute kit had three different clothes pins with different food shapes at the top. This paint kit was similar to the snail it came with three paint colors. It was also a quick and fun craft. The clothes pins open and close just fine but I have not use them to hold anything yet.  This is also another kit that I recommend .

 

 

 

The last craft kit I did was different then the the first two. This is a tissue paper project that mimics stained glass. In addition to the kit you also need to have a pair of scissors and a hole puncher. To get started you had to take the snail off the plastic it was on and stick it on to a special piece of paper that was in the kit and then you had pull the paper back to reveal the sticky side. When I stuck the snail on the paper the top part of the snail got a little smashed. I also had to cut the paper to pull it back because I have very short nails. Then it was time to decorate the snail. I sprinkled the tissues paper on to the sticky side of the snail. I didn’t have a hole punch handy so I stuck the string to the sticky part of the snail. I cut around the snail like the directions said but then I stuck the snail to the part on the paper that I had pealed off . The I cut around the Snail again. I liked the way it turned out. Just to be clear I didn’t follow all of the directions exactly but I would still recommend this kit. It just takes more time and planning then the other kits.
