Scrap Wood & Scrap Fabric Fridas

Waterslide decals and iron-on tshirt transfers are my jam!  Growing up I used to make elaborate stencils with contact paper and spray paint the shapes on my t-shirts because there was just no way to make an at-home transfer.  Now, with a home computer and inkjet printer you can transfer ANY image onto almost any substrate.  I used waterslide decals on raw wood and tshirt transfer paper for these funky Frida Art Dolls.  Holiday gifts are already being made my sweet friends!  Watch how I made these and perhaps they'll inspire you to create some of your own.  Heck, use photos of your kids with fun paper doll bodies.  If you can make it on a computer you can print it out and transfer it.  Have fun and Make Your Mark! 

The fabulous Fridas!

I used scrap wood for the paddle dolls.

Corrugated Cardboard Ornaments DIY

Recently I got some corrugated cardboard in some packaging and like that weird kid who only cares about the box and not the gift, I went crazy!  So crazy I bought another huge roll of it on Ebay to keep making things with it.  My first project was these ornaments...I LOVE them!  Just roll them up with a little glue, paint and then glitterize them.  So easy!  Kids will love making them, too. I used DecoArt Extreme Sheens because they come in bright, metallic colors.   Definitely grab a few next time you're at the craft supply store.  Remember to use up that holiday cardboard and always 

Make Your Mark!

Just a few of my shiny new ornaments!

STUFF I USED

DecoArt Extreme Sheen

Wire

Metallic Gold Pipe Cleaners

Pattern for Ornaments

Print out for reference, but you'll need to cut your patterns 

on larger paper.  I used a large manilla folder for

my patterns.

HERE'S HOW

1. & 2.  Trace  & cut your pattern from corrugated cardboard

3.  Starting from largest piece to smallest, Roll and hot glue them together

4.  Paint them with DecoArt Extreme Sheen paint and let dry

5. Glitterize them with DecoArt Craft Twinkles

6. Add a wire to hang them from the top using a dab of hot glue

Optional:  Add a pipe cleaner at the top for some extra sparkle

Happy Holidays!
