Warm DIY Christmas Mitten Cards



mitten christmas cards lapanen joulukortti

 I made some Christmas cards with my 4-year-old niece. The mitten idea is from a craft magazine. We used pieces of packaging cardboard (that happened to be red on one side) as the background, scrapping paper and old wrapping paper for the mittens, yarn, washi tape, general glue diluted in water and "Merry Christmas" stickers.

 Teimme 4-vuotiaan siskontytön kanssa lapasaiheisia joulukortteja. Idea on Ihana-lehden numerosta 4/2013. Käytimme korttipohjina pakkauspahvia, joka sattui olemaan punaista toiselta puolelta ja lapasiin skräppipaperia (Tiimarin vanhoja poistojuttuja edelleen), käytettyä lahjapaperia ja lankaa. Lapaset liimattiin vesi-erikeeper-liuoksella ja koristeluun käytettiin lisäksi washiteippejä ja tarratekstejä.

How to Transfer Sketch onto Painting Surface

Image
As I've mentioned before, I don't usually draw my sketches for paintings straight onto watercolor paper or canvas. I draw the sketch on a separate paper, where it's easier to erase and clean up the outlines and then transfer the finished sketch onto my painting surface. In this  blog post I'll list five different methods to transfer your drawing onto the painting surface. They're all either cheap or completely free. Some require a computer or other technology and some don't. So hopefully, if you're struggling with how to transfer your sketches, one of these methods (or a combination of some of them) will suite your budget and the supplies you already have available. Lyhyesti suomeksi alla.

How to Make Art/DIY YouTube Videos | Beginner's Guide + Free Checklist

Image
A couple of months before my last birthday, I decided I wanted to start making speed painting videos for You T ube and asked for a tripod for my birthday. My first videos turned out to be travel diaries, because those were a lot easier to film. By now I've also made some DIY tutorial and speed art videos and I thought I'd share how I got started with those by using tools I already had or just cheap or free tools. Why should you start a You T ube channel though, if you already run a craft or art blog? For one thing, it can be a lot more informative to watch video of an art technique or a craft project than just reading and seeing a few work-in-progress photos. Moreover, you can reach a bigger audience with videos than a written blog.
