9. Scrapbook Paper Flower Art
I love making the art that decorates my house- and I got a set of 7 canvasses for Christmas, so I'm glad I found this project so I could use one of them!
I saw this one on Pinterest this morning, and since I had all of the supplies, I tried it out while the baby was sleeping!

A Tip In-between
Here is just a quick decorating idea that I have used a few times.
Place the head of a fake flower over a finishing nail for an easy and cute wall hanger!

| If the flower does not fit snugly, you can use a dot of hot glue to keep it on! |

7. The Classic "Hollow" Book
Wouldn't it be great to have one of those hollowed out books so you can store all of your money and jewelry from unsuspecting thieves? lol
I saw this picture on Pinterest:
This one is easier than I thought it would be, yet still tricky.
6. Modpodge tinted glass
For a few weeks I have been trying to gather glass bottles, so that I can try this one out!

5. Melting Crayons!
Okay, everyone has their own take on this one-- you see it all over Pinterest.
Using a hair dryer or heat gun to melt crayons into awesome pictures!
I wanted to do my own take on this, so I decided to make a rocket ship for E's room. It was insanely easy, and extremely gratifying to see those crayons just MELT so fast! Here's how it turned out:
So fun, everyone should try this!!!
**UPDATE**
I made a time-lapse video of me melting some crayons! Woot!

4. Foot print tree
I made these for the grandparents and I using E's footprints!
Here is the original pin:
Though it wasn't easy keeping him still, I was able to get paint on his feet fairly quickly to get these stamped. Here's how mine turned out:
Pretty cute, though not as neat as the original!
3. Candle apples
So this is an idea I tried for my Halloween party (yeahhh, and I'm only just getting around to posting it)
This was the original pin:
It was not too hard to get the candles in the tops of the apples-- I simply used a knife to hollow out a hole large enough for the candles to rest in. To keep the exposed part of the apple from browning, I added a squirt of lemon juice after I was done hollowing out the holes. Here's how it turned out:
I really thought it added to the atmosphere of the party!
2. Love bottle
For this one I tried to model it after this picture:
(I can't for the life of me find this pin to site it!! Help!)
This is how mine turned out:
This is pretty self-explanatory on how to do this- just use hot glue to write a word on a bottle, then spray paint it!
I used silver spray paint instead of white, and I really like it!
