0 comments / DIY

Hello! Today, I'm going to show how to make five different mermaid and ocean decorations.


DIY Ombre Fish Scale with a Mermaid Silhouette

You will need...

three of cardstock paper of any color you like
a piece of cardstock paper that you will use under the scales
scissors
something that can be used to make a circle
frame
pencil
glue

First take the back of the frame and trace around it with a pencil on to the cardstock paper that will be under the scales. Then cut it out.

Now you can take the object that you will use to make circles and trace around that onto the two colors of cardstock paper. You can also trace halve the circle since you will be cutting the full circles in halve.

Cut out all of the circles and then cut them in halve.

Take the color of circles you would like to be on top of the scales and glue them to the top edge of the cardstock paper that will be under the scales. Then you can start to overlap them and continue this for the first row.

For the second row, place the scales under the first row and continue this until you get down to halve of the piece of cardstock paper.

Once you get to halve of the paper, you just do the same thing with the scales

Make a mermaid silhouette and trace the mermaid on to a different color of cardstock paper than the scales.

Glue the mermaid to the scales.

Put the art into the frame.

3 Summer Flower Pot Ideas

Hello! Today, I'm going to show you how to make three designs for flower pots.


For all of these DIY's you will need

flower pot
paint
paintbrush
pencil
aluminium foil

Before painting all of these flower pots place them onto aluminium foil so you don't get any paint on anything. You can use paper towels but the flower pots might get stuck to the paper towels.

Calligraphy Flower Pot


Calligraphy Flower Pot

Paint the flower pot one coat of any color of paint you would like.

Write a word you would you like on to the flower pot. Then you can can draw any image you want. I drew a face.

Then take the pencil and dip it into the paint. Go over the lines you made with  the pencil. The pencil will act as a paintbrush.

The last thing you have to do is to paint the band at the top of the flower pot any color you would like.

Polka Dot Flower Pot

Paint the flower pot one coat of any color of paint you would like.

Draw stripes on the band on the flower pot.

Then paint the stripes in with any color you would like.

Draw and paint polka dots on to the flower pot.

Then, paint the polka dots in.

Striped Flower Pot

Paint the flower pot one coat of any color of paint you would like.

You can either use tape as a guide to draw on the lines with a pencil or free hand the lines on.

Paint the stripes and the band of the flower pot in.

That's it! All of these DIYs are perfect summer. In the comments down below let me know what you think about these DIY's.

3 DIY Glitter Jar Ideas

Hello! Today, I'm going to show you three different glitter designs on mason jars. These jars would be great for organizing your pencils or these jars can have LED candles inside of them.

First, I'll show you how to make a heart glitter jar, then I'll show you how to make a jar with paint and glitter on it, and the last DIY glitter jar I'll show you has calligraphy and glitter on the jar


Glitter Jar #1


diy glitter heart jar

What you will need for this design is Mod Podge, a jar, glitter, a paintbrush, paper, and string or twine.

Put a piece of paper under the jar. Then take a paintbrush and paint Mod Podge onto the jar in a shape of a heart.

Before the Mod Podge drys, pour the glitter onto the Mod Podge.

Tap the jar lightly on the paper to get off the excess glitter.

If you want, you can tie a bow on to the jar with twine or string.

Glitter Jar #2


glitter jar with glitter on the bottom and paint on the top of the jar

What you will need for this design is a jar, paint, a paintbrush, glitter, paper, tape, string or twine, and Mod Podge.

First place the top of the tape on the middle of jar. Then paint above the tape. When dry pull the tape away from the paint.

Put a piece of paper under the jar. Paint Mod Podge where you want the glitter to be and pour glitter on to the Mod Podge that's on the jar.

The last thing that you can do is tie a bow with string.

Glitter Jar #3


glitter jar that has a calligraphy on it and glitter on the bottom half of the jar

What you will need for this design is a jar, paint, a paintbrush, glitter, you use can tape if you want but you don't need for this jar, paper, and Mod Podge.

Paint a word on the front of the jar.

When the jar is dry, paint Mod Podge on to the bottom half of the jar and pour glitter onto the jar.

If you want you can tie a bow on to the jar. I chose not to.

and that's it! In the comments down below tell what you think about these glitter jar ideas.
