 Acrylic Paint Pour Skin Pendant Necklace with Resin.      Mixing and pouring out acrylic paint on a canvas to make stunning works of art is so fun.  Paint pours are such a great way to make big wall art for home decor.  Place a plastic tablecloth or garbage bag on your work surface, raise the canvas off the table with cups or soup cans...then pour the paint all over the canvas and let it run off the sides.   Once the paint dries the canvas is gorgeous...and the residue of the paint drips are equally impressive!  Instead of tossing them in the trash, upcycle them into stunning jewelry!       Here's some posts on Acrylic Paint pouring, it's a great craft, even for kids--no age discrimination!  Paint pouring is super popular and easy to do.  Just mix paint with a pouring medium like flotrol and then pour all the colors of paint in one cup.   Pour out all over canvas or tray and let the paint dry as slowly as possible for the best results.  After the paint dries it wil

How to Make Handmade Gifts with Cricut

This time of year is all about holiday crafting and gifts, whether we like it or not. I choose to like it! In fact, I love it. I like making handmade gifts or adding personal touches to all my gift giving. Cricut has made gift giving and personalization a breeze! I've been using Cricut since 2016 and I am hooked. I use my Cricut nearly daily. I have the Explore Air 2 , the Cricut Maker and Cricut Joy . I love them all for different reasons. If I had to just buy one, it would hands-down be the Maker.  The Maker has so many options! You may not feel like you need the additional options, but the learning curve is quick and you'll want to keep trying the next thing.

Island in the Sun Reflective Iron-On Vinyl Running Shirt DIY

 Island in the Sun Reflective Iron-On Vinyl Running Shirt DIY I love the song "Island in the Sun" by Weezer. I remember the street I was driving down in Salt Lake City in 2002 when I first heard the song on the radio.  Isn't it funny how music can transport you through time and space like that? It's been a favorite for years, so why not the theme of my running shirt. This running shirt is made with reflective iron-on vinyl, so it reflects headlights when I run in the dark mornings.    Yes, I started running again the first part of August. I've been walking with a friend or two for nearly 2 years, then we decided we needed to kick it up a notch and start interval running.  It's been great and I feel like I am getting stronger and more endurant! Reflective shirts or vests are super important when running in the dark...like me at 5: 30 AM. Let's make one now!  Supplies Needed: Athletic Shirt Reflective Iron-On Vinyl Cricut Maker Cricu
