D.I.Y Christmas Baubles

Sup guys, today I'm going to be doing a Christmas DIY! Let's get started!

What you'll need:

6 Baubles (Any colour, but a light colour would be better.)
Acrylic Paints (Black, Red, Orange, White)
Paintbrush
1 Cup of Water
Some Napkins
Cat Bauble

Step 1:
Squeeze your black paint into a pan, or container. I just used a container that came with the paints.

 Step 2:
 Then, get a silver bauble. (doesn't have to be silver.)
Step 3:
Dip your paintbrush in the black paint and paint ears, a nose, eyes and whiskers on it. Voila! Koen. Now just leave it to dry.

Dog Bauble

Step 1:
You'll need your black paint again for this one. Get yet another silver bauble (doesn't have to be silver). Paint ears, a nose, a mouth and eyes. 

Step 2:
Turn to the back of the bauble and paint a little tail. Done! Leave to dry.

Snowflake Bauble

Step 1:
Squeeze some white paint out onto your pan and get a light blue bauble.

Step 2:
Dip your paintbrush into the white paint and paint a snowflake on it. Remember, every snowflake is unique, so there is no wrong snowflake. There you have it! Leave to dry.

Snowman Bauble

Step 1:
Squeeze some orange paint onto the pan, because you should have some white and black paint left. Now, get another blue bauble.

Step 2:
Paint 3 circles on top of each other, getting bigger each time. Then, either wait until dry, or not, paint 2 eyes and 3 buttons in black paint, and 1 carrot nose in orange. And you're done! Leave to dry.


Mockingjay Bauble

This next bauble is based on the Hunger Games trilogy.

Step 1:
Squeeze some red paint onto your pan. Then, get a silver bauble.

Step 2:
Paint your Mockingjay bird in red, surrounded by an orange circle and red flames. And your done! Leave to dry.


Well, I hope you enjoyed this DIY, I'm going to see Mockingly part 2 tonight so I might review it.
May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour,

DIY Paper Lanterns and Paper Chains

Sup guys, today I'm going to be doing a DIY of paper lanterns and chains. Well, let's get started!

Paper Lanterns
What you'll need:
Stapler
1 Piece of coloured or blank paper
Scissors
Drawing Materials, e.g textas, coloured pencils

Step 1:
Get your paper and cut out a strip from the side, which will become your lantern's handle:
Step 2:
Draw a design on the piece of paper and the handle (draw it in landscape orientation):
 
Step 3:
Fold the paper horizontally so the open part is at the top.
Step 4:
Get your scissors and cut strips three quarters of the way up (be careful not to cut to the end of the paper) continue making cuts until you reach the end of the paper.
Step 5:
Unfold the paper and make cylinder so the design is landscape again.
Step 6:
Get your stapler and staple the top of the lantern together.
Step 7:
Now staple the bottom of your lantern.
Step 8:
Now all you have to do is staple the handle to the top of the lantern.
Voila! And there you have it!



Paper Chains
What you'll need:
As many pieces of paper as you want
Glue Stick
Scissors

Step 1:
Get your scissors and pile your paper up and cut strips out of the paper until you reach the end.
Step 2:
Get a strip of paper and glue one end to the other, so it forms a circle.
 
Step 3:
Now loop another strip through your circle, glue it, so it forms a circle too.

Step 4:
Repeat until the chain is as long as you want it to be, and there, you're done!



Well, I hope you enjoyed my DIY! Comment if you have any other DIY ideas and if you enjoyed! Byyyyyye
