My Arts N Crafts Box

Incase you were wondering where I keep most of my arts N crafts stuff it's in a  tool box!

Artsy Fartsy Needs: all your arts and craft stuff, a tool box, and spray paint

Since it was black I wanted to spray paint it my favorite color so it looked more girly!

I took off the yellow part so that it wouldn't get paint on it and then sprayed. 

I got this box from Target and it works perfect for everything!

You could get a normal arts N crafts box but I like my tool box better!

Rainbow Nails

Artsy Fartsy Needs: about 8 nail polishes- all the colors of the rainbow,

a face sponge, and elmer's glue

Saw these nails on Pinterest and knew I just had to try it! 

First put the glue around your nails. 

This is too much, it went on the nail so the polish didn't stick to that part of the nail.

Be careful! 

First took pink/purple and pink to roll on my index finger.

Next used the same part but added orange and yellow to the side, rolled on middle finger.

Then used the other side for yellow, green, and blue for my ring finger.

Lastly used blue and purple for my pinky finger.

 

I reapplied and rolled on my nails about 3 times, until its vivid. 

 

So glad I used the glue because I got the paint all over my nails, like usual.

Note: this isn't a quick thing to do it took at least an hour to do.

 

TaDa!

DIY Christmas Lights

On Pinterest I saw these lights that you could have in your room all year long. 

And I knew I just had to make them!! 

Artsy Fartsy Needs:  Christmas Lights, Ping-Pong Balls, Pliers, and a Drill (Optional)

I bought the lights on black Friday and then two months later decided to do this project.

At that point I had forgotten how many lights there were so I had to make a few trips to the Dollar store to pick up the ping-pong balls. 

To make the holes at first I was just using the pliers, which you can do it just takes a while.

My friends dad got out his drill to help me, boy was the so much faster.

We even had an assembly line going on, Mom opening the cases, Dad drilling the holes, and me making the holes bigger with the pliers to put it on the lights. 

I tried to widen the hole to fit perfectly on the lights, 

if the hole was too big on the lights I would have to super glue them down.

If the hole was just right it fits without falling off the light!

Sunflower shoes

My friend saw these shoes on Pinterest and fell in love so I made them for her Birthday.

Artsy Fartsy Needs: Sparkles, Yellow, Brown and maybe a little Black paint, along with paint brushes and of course the Shoes. 

The best thing about painting is that it's really easy to make different colors!

I mixed light brown with just a drop of black to make a better color of brown for the sunflowers.

I first made the 3 half circles on the shoes for the middle part of the sunflower, 

like so.

Then I painted the yellow for the petals.

I painted every other petal so I could know where the petals start and stop.

I took some light brown to outlines the petals.

Then I used some more of the brown, but only a little, to shade in the petals. 

Then repeated that same process on all the flowers.

Then I added some sparkle paint on the shoes to give it some more flair. 

A Whole Lotta Nothing

This is a quick and easy present to do for those people who always say, 

"I don't need anything for ____(My birthday/Christmas/Etc.)" 

Artsy Fartsy Needs: Ziploc bag, paper, staple or tape and a pen

Fold the paper in half.

Write "A whole lotta NOTHING".

Then take your bag and fill it with air.

After that staple or tape the paper to the bag.

TADA! You got a whole lotta NOTHING! 

The Last DIY Cup

 My last cup for my best friend since I was practically born!

Artsy Fartsy Needs: see kitty cup for instructions

"It seems they had always been & would always be friends."

"Time could change much but not that.

-Winnie the Pooh"

And then this was all my cups in the oven getting ready for the heat!

The Mountains and Sunshine DIY Cups

Artsy Fartsy Needs: see Kitty Cup for instructions

Since I go snowboarding with my friend and I know how much he loves the mountains 

I thought I would make his cup like that. 

This is why I picked "the mountains are calling" for him.

My mom actually helped me figure out how to set this up!

We sketched it out a lot on a piece of paper. 

Deciding how to do the mountains and where to put the words.

I'd say we made a pretty good team!

Then these cups are the matching cups I made for my boyfriend and I.

I made them a little different yet the same.

Started out with the sun, then the clouds, filled them in and then wrote the words.

All 3 of these cups are easy shapes to do if you would like to do them also!
