Hi there! Oh how I love Easter crafts! My colleague found this sweet craft the other day and even though I didn't have time to do it at school with my students, I was still able to find a two kids who wanted to craft with my this afternoon! The template is free for download and can be found here. The kids loved it and thought it turned out so well!! Great for kids of all ages. All you need is the printed templates, some cardstock, glue, scissors and markers! Easy-peasy! Happy Easter!

my crafting partners: Norah and Emmett, Jeremy's niece and nephew!
and of course I had to do one too! :)
And what would Easter be without a little chocolate and some treats! Check out the little bags I made for them with a kinder egg and a little beanie boo hiding inside!

DIY Ombre Planter

10:21 Natalie Karine 0 Comments

I had lots of fun painting this ombre pot! It is now the home of a lovely real plant in our living room!

This project was so inexpensive! I used a terracotta pot from the dollar store and two little bottles of craft paint: white and green (love the Martha Stewart granny smith thatr I found at Michaels).


Started with a plain terracotta pot
Painted it white.
Added the ombre, with thin coats.
Looks great!
I'm loving the ombre! Check out my bathroom painting where I also Played with some ombre!

So Fresh DIY Bathroom Painting

10:04 Natalie Karine 0 Comments

Hi there! I'm off work this week for March break! Woohoo! Since this is/will be an expensive year (new house, new car, wedding), I opted for a stay-cation. How better to kick it off with some Monday morning crafting! I've been looking for some artwork for my bathroom for a while. I've found some nice prints, but I was worried that the humidity of the bathroom would make them ripple. Getting them printed on canvas can be a little pricy, so I decided to make a canvas myself! I spent $20 on supplies, used my leftover wall paint and it's just perfect!

I trace over my design, and the graphite paper
underneath prints it on the canvas.
Instructions: 
1. I found a print I liked and printed it on paper.
2. I painted a simple ombre background.
3. I transferred it using Saral graphite transfer paper. You could always "colour" the back using an HB pencil. (how to use graphite paper here)
4. I painted in the letters.

Voilà!



Filling in the letters (my transfer paper was white)
Just need to hang it now!
Perfect in my bathroom!
