Hawk Nation

GO HAWKS! I know you lost, but I decided to use oil pastels and create their logo with the Seattle skyline. I'm proud of it!

Paper Fan Decoration

This is really simple. You know in elementary school, how you'd fold paper and make a fan? That's basically three of these, each folded in half and taped together. Ta Da

Oil Pastel Painting

HEY LOOK! I ACTUALLY STILL EXIST! Apologies for my lack of posting for over two years...woops...
ANYWAYS. I'm still doing art! Last night I decided to make use of the canvases in my room and began drawing a person. It just kind of snowballed after that to create this. It's kind of just a sad girl..I don't know what to call it. I DON'T KNOW. But I'm pretty proud of myself actually! I especially love the collar bones and the nose. Noses are hard to do. But TaDa!

T-Shirt Headband

 

     I wore an orange one of these today to school and my friend commented "You're so artistic!" I didn't think I was until she said that...well! This is a head band I made out of old t-shirts. You cut 3 one-inch strips out of a t-shirt, tie the ends to a hair tie, braid until it'll fit around your head, and tie the other end to the hair tie. Ta-da! A super easy way to reuse your t-shirts instead of just throwing them out. Thanks!

Duct Tape Flower #2

    This is a flower I made out of duct tape! You'll need duct tape (any kind, any color), a button, hot glue, cardboard, and scissors. First, you cut a pedal stencil out of cardboard, then cut a circle (I made mine with about a 2'' diameter) out of the cardboard. Next, cut out two long pieces of duct tape that are the same size, and carefully lay the sticky sides together as even as you can, that way you can cut it. Next, cut out as many pedals you want out of the duct tape using the stencil. Hot glue the pedals to the cardboard circle, trying to get the pedals to be as close to the center as possible. You might have to overlap some of the pedals, which is good since I have yet to see a real flower that doesn't have overlapping pedals..... Finally, hot glue the button to the center to cover up any messy centers you have. There you go! Now you have a beautiful duct tape flower that you can make into a headband, a pin, or anything really! Thanks!

Button Bracelet

     This is a bracelet I made out of buttons! Well.....obviously......All you do is get the typical necklace clasps, however many strings you want, and a lot of buttons. You string them on, either putting one string through one button, or multiple strings through one button. Continue doing this until it is long enough to fit around your wrist, then attach the clasps to the ends of the strings. And Vwa La! You have a button bracelet! Thanks!
