Fan Scarf

I originally saw this scarf on Pinterest from One Flew Over.

It's a super easy pattern that can be found at this link.

Valentine Poof Balls

 Getting ready for V-Day


Supplies:
6 Styrofoam balls
Crepe Paper
Muslin fabric
Plastic tablecloth
Hot glue gun

 I folded over the top and started twisting the streamers until it formed a flower.


After I formed a few, I started gluing them to the ball.


I cut out white ovals then folded them hot dog style, then again hamburger style. These were each glued to the ball. No real strategy here.

The last two balls are made out of a random tablecloth I bought at a g'sale. I cut off about 2 inches off of one end off the folded tablecloth and glued them to the balls. 

Here are the completed balls!

Wall Art

Saw this done on Pinterest... Thought I'd give it a go.

I started out with 6 12x12 blank canvases. 

 Paint - Based on the I used Americana paints in Snow (Titanium) White, Buttermilk, Burnt Sienna, Lamp (Ebony) Black - I grabbed a couple extra black just in case.


Once the canvases dried, I flipped them over and stapled them together.
Next I cut out the numbers and arranged them.

I traced them with a pencil, then painted with a mix of the three colors.

Finally I sprayed a gloss on the top. Ta-daa!
