doilie table runner

 i have been wanting to make this for forever!!!! i think its the cutest thing!  i went to like five craft stores looking for crocheted doilies and i couldn't find them anywhere!!  let me tell you, i got so frustrated! haha so after all of this looking yesterday i went to all a dollar not expecting to find them and guess what!  they were there!!!!  it was a bitter sweet moment. haha

 they had two different kinds. a two pack of small and a one pack of large so i got a couple of both!

first i laid them out on the table so that i could decide what arrangement i wanted and then i hot glued the overlapping parts.  i probably would have sewed it, but sadly i am all out of white thread!  what am i going to do?!  haha i better go shopping again!  haha its a dangerous thing for me to go shopping at craft stores...my last craft store shopping spree i spent way too much!!! haha i go for one thing and i end up buying the whole store! haha

birdie wall art tutorial

this is my birdie painting that i did last night.  i like it a lot, but i think i might add some more birdies to it.

 i found this online at taidye original.  its printable!!! so i printed it off and cut out the birdies for a stencil.

 after i had my stencil ready i spray painted my canvases.  i dabbed the green canvas with toilet paper when it was wet to give it texture.

 i painted my tree branch in all black.  after it was all done and dried i was ready to stencil on my birdies.

 all i did to stencil them on was paint in inside the bird.  be careful when you're taking the paper off because the first time i tried to take it off i did it too fast and the paint smeared on the canvas

 when the paint was still wet i sprinkled some white glitter over the birdie and pressed it down sot hat the birdie could be as sparkly as possible.

 after i let it sit for a minute or so i shook all the glitter off and brushed the excess off with a paint brush and it looked like this!

 the glitter i used was Martha Stewart glitter.  it comes in almost every color!!!  i love glitter! haha
