Handpainted Tribal Elephant-

Fun & Creative:


I saw this beautiful ceramic elephant at Target, and 
I just had to get it.
It took a while to come up with a good idea
for this piece because I wanted to put it in
my dining room or my entertainment center.

Materials:
  • Ceramic Elephant (Target for $4.99)
  • Acrylic Paint 
  • Paint Brushes
  • Bowl of water (to clean the brushes)


   I started off with dark grey but after I was done, it was too 
dark for my liking. 
So I decided to make a lighter shade of grey.
And I liked it much more than Dark Grey.


I love tribal designs so I wanted to incorporated that
on this lovely piece.


Did I mention I love tribal designs?? Haha!
I kind of went a little over board but I love the ending results.
This piece is amazing!!!


I apologize for taking so long to put up a new project.
I took some time off, to heal from my wisdom teeth surgery,
which was really bad. 

I got a few more projects coming up but I'm going to
take my time because I really want them to come out 
perfect.

Please don't forget to

 May everyone have a nice & full of blessings day!!!


Ciao, Craftiniers!!!

DIY Themed Wall Decor-

Beauty in Paris:

This amazing project is very special because it's 
for a very special little girl.
My niece's Birthday is coming up soon
and I wanted to make something special for her
to have for a long time.



This project is very easy to put together and
is not expensive to make either.



Material:

  • Wooden Wall Block Frame (I got mine at A.C. Moore)
  • Wooden Letters
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Decorative Knob (I got mine at A.C Moore as well)
  • Little Wooden Decals (I got mine at JoAnn's)
  • Bowl of water (to clean brushes)
  • Super Tacky Glue (I got mine at A.C. Moore)


Her room is Paris themed, so I wanted
for this piece to go really good with her stuff.

I love the way the colors came together mostly the seaside blueish
with the light pink. 
I drew different things in each letter that goes with the theme 
as well. It wasn't easy but sure it was fun.


I haven't drawn in years so I was kind of nervous because
I really wanted for everything to look perfect.
But I was surprised with the results it all turned out
so beautiful!


A walk through Paris.
(Is the name of the theme)
I can't wait for her to receive her gift.


The knob was really easy to screw in. And if anyone wants to
make this beautiful piece, when you glue all the letters and little
wooden decals you have to leave it dry overnight.
So everything can dry perfectly.

I hope everyone likes this post as much as I
love putting together...

Stay positive and Be Creative!!!

Ciao, Craftiniers!!!

Do We Scream More Than We Anticipate???

Ugly Little Truth:

So do we??
I know that I do and it shatters me to admit it.

I grew up in a very out-of-this-world environment, my parents
are Hispanic (Puerto Rican).
My dad was more quiet and kept to himself,
But my mother was always screaming and loud.
And if I ever did anything wrong you better believe she had
a belt in hand or a slipper (Chancleta!! lol).

Well I catch myself screaming at my house,
And it's embarrassing because it was never me.
I'm more of a calm person and at the end of the day
 I didn't like it,
And I want it to take it out of my life.




So I did what everybody does nowadays, Googled it.
I found a blog entry on how to take the screaming and getting
agitated out of your life slowly.
(I don't remember the link, but I'll try to find it to share with
everyone)
And I have to say it worked even though I changed some 
of the things on the list to fit my life style.

Basically what I did was to take a note every time 
that I screamed or got agitated wrote it down and go over the 
reason why I felt that way.

And after a couple of days instead of screaming or
getting mad I found myself making a note to myself
letting myself know it's not worth to scream.

I enjoy what I do and the type of person than I am,
I know it in my heart that I'm a good Wife and Mom.
I don't let tragedy or tribulation beat me down because I need to be
strong for my family.

So I learned that screaming is not the answer to get anyone's
attention, If you need to scream to be heard than don't waste your time.
Your time to speak will come and that's when you come 
and say what is bothering you and communicate much better than
tearing at each other throats.

I hope this helps...

DIY Coral Pink Wreath-

Is Better in Pink:

So holidays are over. Boo Hoo!!!
Why can't it last longer? Lol

I wanted to put something up since I took my 
decorations down, And my door looks pretty bare!!!

I was pushing for something to represent Valentine's Day
that is coming up but then I don't want to have to change it 
in such a short period.

So I sat and thought about my color pallet, And I've been 
obsessing with Coral Pink for weeks now.
and decided to go for it.


Materials:
  • Wreath Wire (I got mine at A.C. Moore)
  • 2 Rolls of regular Burlap (Also at A.C. Moore)
  • 2 Chevron Coral Pink Burlap (I found these at Walmart)
  • Floral Wire
  • Flowers (Any that you like, I got these at Dollar Tree)
  • The letter is optional but it could add a nice touch to your wreath



I fell in love with these colors, the coral pink is so 
different to what I'm use to and is just perfect.


A little idea on how to start.
you could go to YouTube and search for videos on 
wreath making. I haven't done one yet but soon I promise to make one.


It's coming out pretty nice.
It's so angelical and peaceful.
I know it kind of looks springy but I couldn't resist.


It's amazing what you could create if you set your mind
to it, And I love that I take such challenges and bring them to life.


Even in the night it shines bright!
I love the end result it's just breathtaking.

I hope everyone loves this new post, 
And if you need any help making any of these ideas 
feel free to leave me a comment with any questions.
I will gladly help.

Stay Positive and Inspire to Create!!!

Ciao, Craftiniers

DIY Kids Frames-

Simple & Beautiful:

I've been decorating my princess' room, with things
she loves the most.

She loves almost everything (except polka dots, lol) 
from Doc McStuffins to Sofia the First. Basically anything
Disney.

I wanted to add pictures on her wall because they are pretty bare.
So I decided to paint some frames the color of her decorations.
And I think they came out pretty good.


Materials:
  • Wooden Frames - (I got these at Walmart)
  • Acrylic Paint - (Any color you desire)
  • Paint brushes
  • Wooden Decorations - (I got the firefly & butterfly at Walmart also)
  • Buttons or any Accessory you like
  • A bowl with water and a Tissue (To clean the paint off the brushes)
  • Hot glue gun & glue (To glue accessories)



You can make it for your little ones room or something 
beautiful for your living room.
It doesn't have to be kiddy if you don't want it to be.

I added buttons because I had a bunch of buttons 
laying around from scrap booking, and I wanted 
to kind of get rid of them.
Plus they look so CUTE!

I hope everyone enjoyed my little simple project.
It's very simple and the most cute thing you could make
for your little one.
Even for your living room or your bedroom.
