How-To-Do...Beach Hut Stylie...

Hi guys,

Hope you are having a good Saturday wherever you may be:). Today's post is a project How-To-Do I thought you'd like to see...in a previous post I showed you a canvas frame I had made with JOFY Beach huts. 
In this one...I'll show you how to make it and with what paints.

Okay...so...


This I bought from an Alladins cave-like craft shop in Ipswich called Craftability.


Step 1. The sand and sky/sea are painted with PaperArtsy paint (in chronological order) sand: Haystack, Pumpkin Soup and Yellow Submarine. Sky/sea: Smurf, China and Glass blue with the clouds in Snowflake.


Step 2. Stamp the row of beach huts (JOFY 16) with Archival Jet Black ink.


Step 3. Beach hut one: Snowflake and Bora Bora.
Beach hut two: London bus, Toffee, Snowflake and Sage.
Beach hut three: Lavender and Snowflake.
Beach hut four: Chocolate pudding, China and Snowflake.
Beach hut five: Toffee, Snowflake and Elephant.
Outline all the beach huts with little black dress.


Step 4. Glue canvas board to the frame and screw a little hook on the back...Hey presto...All Finished! 


Hope you like this,
Any questions just shout:).

I Melted Crayons!..

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all having a great Saturday wherever you are:).

Today's project was an...I'm bored...I think I'll do this...kind of project!

In my 'to make box' I found an Artemio frame I had previously decorated but didn't like so thought I'd give it a new coat of paint!.. Although it's not paint...its a coat of melted crayon!




They were normal crayons bought from the 99p shop.

I stuck them to the top with glossy accents and they gradually dripped down when they were heated with a heat gun.

Once melted...I dropped a few pieces of blue crayon onto it and then they melted.
After it had cooled down...I painted Metallic Glaze over the frame.

The middle stamp was an Ellen Vargo set of stamps from PaperArtsy.

Hope you like this although it kind of like Marmite...either you love it or you hate it!
If you have any questions then you know where I am:).
