Make This Color-Changing Goo And Be Entertained For Days
No matter what your craft be it sewing, kneedle work (yarns), drawing painting and even scrapbooking, plus there’s more….
you can use a scanner in some form for your craft. Be it to just scan patterns, copy a specific part, or to get a better image (and lighting) of
Your photo, drawing, painting or the jewelry you made to upload to your website shop or blog.
Its a bit more money, but if you are someone in school that needs to use a reference book (in other words, you can’t remove it from the library) but you can scan the book safely and take home a digital version. Same for any story you write a(or illustrations) scan them and make your digital book.

as I think the prices might be higher through Amazon!
I love Tye Dye, and really should have included a picture of some of my shirts.(though I didn’t make them but I sort of have a collection and surprisingly, even the ones I got in the 1990s still fit! Well minus one, but that one I’ll be adding in some fashion to my Patchwork blanket.
Before actually making the shirt, get some old white t-shirts (like rags) to practice first. say cut one shirt into pieces so you can test doing certain techniques. You can later use them as napkins if you’d like or anything else you can think of.
How to Tye Dye from tye dye your summer
Once you have practiced using and testing colors (stick to your favorite 3-5) you will then likely know how to do what type of pattern on your clothing. (what do you think of Tye Dye shorts? Shirts are better right!?!?! Find a white bathing suit? Tye Dye it! Anything old can be new again!
Just make sure if its an activity for the kiddos, that you stand by and watch. Be sure its in a ‘foot tub’ or bucket and that its in the bath tub when you do it. (or better yet OUTSIDE so they can hang it up, or let it drip dry a bit first. Usually using heat will help keep the color, but be sure when you go to wash it, do it by hand first few time with some diluted vinegar it is supposed to keep the colors from ‘leaking’ out.
You can even make mom and dad Mother’s and Father’s day gifts. Make a Tye dye themed B-B-Q… Placemats, Cloth Napkins…mmm what else?
Then if you are one of those families that goes on a trip together or has a family reunion… Make your own tye dye the shirts, and just buy some iron on transfers to make Your Family’s last name (or joint name) 2019 & (on bottom…. ) Family Reunion.
Why not turn an older white blanket or sheet set into tye dye (if you need a change) while you are at it, make some of your socks tye Dye for those cooler spring days
So what can you do with the free paint chips?
One They can be used for table settings, Make confetti, use them as journal cards (write a quote a day on them, or as a journal themselves write a small summary of something great that happened You’ll have a very colorful journal (or just one color depending on what you prefer) use them for an art project like mixed media like they can be used as skyscrapers etc.
Use them in a presentation (like a bar graph) and many others you can find here
There’s nothing nicer than getting a Dreamcatcher than when it is made with love by a friend or family member.
I see people with them in their car, it’s called a dream catcher not Accident catcher… it is supposed to be hung on the wall above your bed where you lay your head.
here is some information on them and what each one (depending on how many points they have) mean
If I remember right, the ones with a bead or 2.. the beads signify the bad dreams it has caught.
paper bag tree…3D autumn sculpture. brilliant:
Its that time of year again, the leave have started falling (or will) and the yard will be full of firey colors.
Instead of throwing all those leaves away when they fall, how about doing some leaf art? The kids can make animals like the ones here creative-leaf-animal-art. Have them arrange them, then you can frame them & give them to family as a gift from the child.
And why not get in on the fun! Make your own art and have beautiful ‘painting’ courtesy of Mother Nature.
Be sure to get at least one of every color leaf!
