Arts and Crafts with the kids!

Hi Everyone, 
Jess here with some crafts you can do with the kids in your life.  I have so enjoyed working with the Activa product this month.  The clay is beyond amazing.  My daughter and I made these ornaments in no time at all.  


Start by using a cookie cutter to cut the shape of your choice.  We used a tree and a star.  A small hole is poked in the top for an ornament hanger or string.  We used alphabet stamps to stamp in our words and set them aside to dry. 


Once the ornament was dry we used Perfect Pearls (alternatively you can use MICA pearlescent paints) to color the tree.  


We glittered the edge. 


For the final touch we colored little pearls with alcohol ink to look like tiny ornaments.  




The photos don't capture it, but we used the iridescent Perfect Pearl on the star.
Another fabulous iridescent product is the NIJI pearlescent paints available HERE

We didn't bling up the star other than using the blue glitter on the edge.  



I hope you have time to craft with your kids this season! These work up so quickly you can make a bunch in an afternoon.  

Jess

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
