Hello All
Hope you are all having a good week, first of all I just want to say sorry for this been a little late. What I'm going to show you this week is pretty sweet, first it'll be my re-painted candle holder; painted in Dia De Los Muertos theme, Second will be the re-painted and styled book shelf and third will be awesome moon sand. Fun Week.
Dia De Los Muertos Style Candle Holder
Well this is an old candle holder I had laying around the house and I decided to change it up and a bit so it looked a bit fancier! This is how I did it. I am a terrible drawer and painter so I drew in what design I wanted on the holder. Then I began painting As you can see I chose bright colours and I used acrylic paints and painted the flowers first then the sides and working down to the last detail. To finish it off I mixed PVA glue with black acrylic paint to make the windows darker. That is all I did, I think it took me about 3 hours to complete which I guess isn't that long.
Re-painted book shelf
So my mother and I was doing our weekly charity shop shopping (sings thrift shop song), when we came across this lovely book shelf. Now lovely as it is I found that it was too dark for our house so I suggested that I paint it. After many discussions we bought it for a wonderful price of £4 which is AWESOME!
Soon as I got it home I go to it. The first picture on the left was the shelf just after I sanded it down. Second photo is the painted version, I painted it sky blue with satin wood paint from B'n'Q (English hardware store) and finally when it was dry my mother added all her crafty books.
Moon sand
Now this is an AWESOME craft that I got from Pinterest. All you need is flour and baby oil, LEGIT that's it!!! Now I used 4 cups/ 200 g of all purpose/ plain flour and 200 ml of baby oil mixed it together in a bowl and it made this awesome sand, which is really nice for the kids to play with and its easy to clean away (plus it makes your hands really soft).

I try and find the easiest way to do craft and have fun, and to be honest I'm not very crafty/ artistic but I am in belief that anyone could do these crafts. That's all for this week my friends!!! Have a great crafty week
