Well, I have learned that I’ll never know everything and the things that I do know will always be expanded upon in a way that I did not think of before. How frustrating!
Some of the latest tips I’ve learned for making something good even better are as follows:
Stained Glass – Crown with a matching antique velvet bow and it looks quite unique. Silicone Caulk does the job.
Wall Murals – Add special materials to the scene to create a three dimensional effect. The material must be appropriate to the mural theme. For instance, a picture of a sunset can be surrounded by multi colored tissue paper with orange and yellow sunset shades. Glitter is also effective. Apply glitter to a corresponding color on the mural with a thin layer of household glue.
Wood Burnings – If you have eyes in the picture add rhinestones to them or even fake pearls. You can also add imitation hair to characters in your wood burning scene.
Soft Sculpture – Look online for dolls or animals. The pieces are not only fun and interesting; they make great conversation pieces as well.
I have found these ideas enjoyable and creative. I love using my spare time to embark in a new and artistic endeavor. Home becomes homier and my mind is taken off the challenges that come with the New Year. May you have a happy and bright one!
