Collaged Heart!

I just moved back into the dorm and was looking to brighten up the walls a bit. On pinterest, of course, I saw a girl who made a giant heart out of pictures. I tried. I failed. It was super tough to make the pictures look like they were arranged in a heart. So, I came up with this way to do it a bit easier.

 Lay out pieces of paper (I used card-stock to give it some weight)

 Duct tape them together and sketch a heart (then flip over)

Collage pictures on the non-duct tape side (using duct tape). Then, turn it over and cut out the heart you traced.

Enjoy!!!

Happy collaging!

Flyeyze!

I, with the help of my dad, have come up with a line of button earrings called Flyeyze. I love all things vintage and sought to recreate vintage styles through these earrings. Email me at susiehomemakercrafts@gmail.com if you are interested in a pair!

Love always,

Painted Canvas Art

I am really thrilled with the way these turned out. At a concert at my church, the choir sang this song. I just couldn't get it out of my head. It's a huge blessing and hope that we can know that, because of Christ, there is far better for us beyond this world.

The background: I just got three canvases that were the same side and one color of blue, yellow, and white paint. I made a stencil for the chevrons out of construction paper. I would tape it on to ensure that it does not move. However, by the second canvas, I was just free-handing the pattern. I started with the original color, then added a bit of white with each next stripe. 

The words: Once the background dried, I used paper stencils from Joanns to do the letters. I soon discovered that they were too large, so I free-handed some of the words instead of the stencil.The paint was pretty thin, so I had to paint over them a few times.

That's it!

Happy painting!

Love,
Susie
