Craft Tip for Crochet and Knitting

Namaste! I Love to Crochet and Knit. I used to get into a tough of war with my yarn, until my ball of yarn ended up looking like a pile of spaghetti. Here's a little Tip I came up with after a long meditation session and afterwards gathering together my recycling for the curb. Eureka! Instead of recycling those Paper Towel rolls and TP rolls put them to good use. Wrap your yarn around them. It will never get tangled or knotted again.

 

Abstract Art Project, Art Lesson

This Project is for persons 18 yrs or older!

Supplies needed:
8" x 10" or 9" x 12" Cardboard (or smaller)
crayons
metal spoon
black water based craft paint

First completely cover your cardboard with crayon. Think of an Abstract Design and lay the color on thick. Add a Rainbow of colors. Next, paint the entire work in black. Allow the paint several hours to dry. Next, using your spoon scrap off areas of the black paint. Careful not to remove your crayon color....we want that to show through. Think of an Abstract Design while scraping the black paint off......careful to not remove to much of the paint. ENJOY!

 

Art Lesson, Mixed Media Art

This project is for adults 18 yrs or older!

Supplies needed:
8" x 10" or 9" x 12" sheet of cardboard
enough aluminum foil to completely cover the cardboard
Black water based craft paint
other assorted colors of craft paint
paper towel
paint brush(s)
craft glue stick
rubber gloves

1st smash your aluminum foil into a ball. Then carefully unroll it...flattening it out...but leaving the wrinkles. Next completely cover the cardboard with your aluminum foil, and glue it into place. Now paint the aluminum foil completely black. Then using paper towels...rub off most of the black paint (while wearing your rubber gloves)....leaving the paint in the wrinkles and creases of the foil. Allow this to completely dry. The final step is to paint your masterpiece on top of the foil. Enjoy!
