Seed Bead Hair Pin

I bought a medium bag of seed beads from my local fabric store and  I made a bracelet that I wanted for some time. Now I have no idea what I am gonna do with it after. So then one day I was styling my hair and saw that my hair pins were all plain looking. So then seed beads and pins equals fun time.

I used one hair pin.

Then I used a glue gun and covered the top half of the pin with glue then I quickly dipped it in the seed beads and waited for the pin to dry and dusted off the extra none sticking beads

Then, voila! Hair pin boring no more!

Art projects to pass time

Ever wanted to spiff up your living room with some new art but hated the prices of random wall art in stores?

Well, I have a great suggestion on how to make your walls sing with new art and add a new edge to your home with custom wall art.

Many people have cans of spray paint or wall paint that are just lying around house. So why not recycle the leftover paint and make your home look prettier. And all you'll need is a frame, some paint (wall paint/spray paint), and some cardboard, and imagination.

Step one: Choose your color.
Step two: Choose a frame.

Step three: Let your imagination go wild by painting various designs on the cardboard.

Step four: Allow the paint to dry for at least 30 minutes.

Step five: Frame the art and enjoy your new masterpiece.
