Bobble Head Craft Kit

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! Arts and crafts kit have become one of my favorite hobbies and I recently finished doing another one . I can’t wait to tell you all about it so here we go!

 

Bobble Head Craft Kit

I was looking through my arts and craft supplies to find a project to complete. I had forgotten  about this very cute dog and cat bobble head kit that I had gotten at a local party supply store. I was excited when I saw it and I knew that it was just the project I was looking for. The kit had two bobble heads and few items to decorate them with including a marker ,paint and bows! I started decorating the cat first I glued a cute pink pink bow on the cat’s head and then I painted dot’s on her body. For the dog I glued a rose on her head and I covered her with paint . I used the yellow and orange paint on both of the bobble heads.  I really liked they way both of them turned out! They are super cute ! I would love to do another kit like this sometime.

Painting a cupcake bank

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Painting a cupcake bank

I was very excited when I opened this gift from my friend! Melissa and Doug craft kits are just the cutest ! This craft kit was pretty simple you got to paint a cupcake shaped bank in any way you wanted to! The kit came with a good variety of paint colors to choose from and a smaller size paint brush that was perfect for this project due to the sprinkles on the cupcake. I started by painting the base of the cupcake I ended up mixing the colors but it looked good to me. I then painted the sprinkles and the rest of the cupcake. I wasn’t perfect with my painting so the paint overlapped onto the sprinkles in some places. When I was done painting the cupcake I was happy with it’s overall colorful and messy look. I also had a good amount of paint left over to use for other projects. I had a fun time painting the cupcake and I would totally use another craft kit like this.

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I love doing arts and crafts kits and last month

painting my own magnets

When I saw this kit I was very excited because it was on my Amazon wish list and here it was at the Goodwill plus I could get it right away with no shipping needed. The most exciting thing was that it was in the original package and had clearly never been opened. Things have been pretty busy for me lately so I was happy when I had sometime to relax and make art. The paint and the magnets in this kit seemed to be pretty high quality. It was both easy and fun to paint and decorate the magnets. I enjoyed choosing what colors and designs I would use for each magnet. The kit also came with jewel stickers and pink glitter glue. I like the way the stickers made the magnets pop a little more. I also had fun adding some glitter glue to the magnets as well. I was very happy with the way the magnets turned out and I would love to do another kit like this sometime.

Fun with arts and crafts kits

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends, I love being creative and making fun works of art ! I often buy arts and crafts kits and then use them in my down time. I’ve been having fun with the craft kits and art supplies that I have on my art shelf. I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Here we go.

Fun with arts and crafts

Sand art necklace kit – I got this fun and simple kit at the Dollar Tree . It came with a small plastic heart that had a loop on the cap to make a necklace. It also came with brightly colored sand and a tool to move the sand around but did not include any string for a necklace. I had a fun time pouring the sand into the heart and watching the bright colors make fun patterns. I’m happy with the way this project turned out.

Bracelets

Now, it’s time for one of my all-time favorite art projects. Pipe cleaner bracelets! I also got the supplies for this craft at the Dollar Tree. All I needed for this craft were some pipe cleaners and beads the Dollar Tree had both colorful pipe cleaners and colorful beads . I had a good time putting the beads onto the pipe cleaners. I loved the way the bracelets looked when I put them on. This is a fun and easy craft I recommend it !

Valentine’s day painting

And here is another Dollar Tree craft kit! This Valentine’s day themed paint kit had two cute little teddy bears holding hands. As normal with these craft kits the paint was not very high quality but it was a lot of fun to paint the very cute bears. When the painting dried it was a little hard to see parts of the original picture underneath. If I used water color paint it may have turned out better. I think I’ll do that next time!

Fun with Yay Maker !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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.
