Mixed Media Glitter Globe

Hello Everyone

Have you ever had a project that just didn’t turn out exactly how you thought it would? That is what happened to me with this globe. I really didn’t like how the text looked (there was a quote on the globe that said “Follow that dream”) so I decided to add flowers and mixed media elements.

Being adaptable while creating is imperative. Things don’t always turn out how we envision them, but if you are adaptable then you can create something even better.

I have to say, I am even more pleased with the flowers and butterflies that I added. I am glad that I could change my direction and try something different. The result is even better than my original vision.

Paint Piping- Christmas Tree

December 19, 2018 / TakeTimetoCreate / 0 Comments

Hello Everyone!

I am so excited to show you this new technique that I learned! I have seen paint piping online and I knew I had to try it.

I loved seeing the texture and interest that the paint piping creates.

Of course I had to add glitter! I think that added interest and details that the tree needed. I added the glitter and rhinestones while the paint was wet so it all stuck together.

To finish the tree I added some poinsettias and other details to the base of the tree.

Now it is ready to put on display and enjoy for years to come.

I really enjoyed this technique and I am looking forward to exploring it more in the upcoming year!

DIY Tangled T-shirt

September 16, 2015 / TakeTimetoCreate / 0 Comments

Any trip to Disneyland requires new t-shirts, right? I will use any excuse to make a Disney shirt!

I love Tangled, it is one my favorite movies. This meme describes me perfectly.

So what better way to show my love than to make a Tangled t-shirt. Here I am wearing my shirt at California Adventure. You can barely make out my Steampunk Mickey ears. I will be doing a tutorial on those in the the next few weeks or so!

Materials

~ Pre washed t shirt

~ Tangled sun stencil. I got mine off the Disney Family Fun website (link here)

~ Fabric Paint

~ Freezer paper

~ Exacto knife

~ Cardboard

~ Iron on transfer paper

Instructions

1. Cut around the sun you want to make into a stencil for your t-shirt

2. Tape your sun to your freezer paper (I forgot to take picture of this step, so please as me questions if I am unclear) Cut out your sun like a stencil and then you will iron your freezer paper to your shirt. Place the shiny side down and cover with a cloth and iron the stencil into place.

3. Start filling in the sun with fabric paint. Protect the back of your shirt with cardboard. The glittery the better.
