Tutorial: Brown Bag Art Journal

To follow up on my previous post, here is my version of a very popular DIY art journal. I love this project, it is so easy and you can make a ton of blanks and have them ready for your next vacation, party, or special event. Each page has a pocket to hold more of your treasures, pictures or tags. Lets get started, shall we? Supplies: (Base) 2 lunch sized lunch bags a hole punch scissors glue stick A pipe cleaner or ribbon Embellishments galore. Use anything, collage,paints, fabrics, fibers, stickers, Go for it! Step 1. Fold the bottom flap of your lunch bag down and crease. You will be using this crease as a guide to snip off the bottom flap. Do this to both bags. When you are through, you will have openings on each side of your bag. You may discard the bottom of the bag. (we will not be using these for this project ) Step 2 Fold your bags (horizontally) down the middle. See, it is already ...

I love to find quick and easy projects that can be completed at the same time. Completion is a very big challenge for me. I love starting things, and when the novelty wears off, I tend to kick my projects to the curb. I don't mean to, it just happens. ::sigh:: I am digressing again. Sawry . So, like I was saying, you can start and finish t...

Easy Encaustic Wax Tutorial/How To

Ok Chicas bare with me, I am going to be slowly adding my tutorials from my old blog, to this here nueva blog. If you are new with me, yay, and welcome to my world. This tutorial is one of my favorites, and is super easy, cheap and beautiful! Enjoy! Easy Encaustic Wax Tutorial. (You know how I do!) Before I get started on this super easy, fun, & addicting craft/art technique, I am going to list the a definition of the encaustic process. Don't let it scare you because you know I always have a "99 cent" solution! Encaustic painting , also known as hot wax painting , involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface — usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used. The simplest encaustic mixture can be made from adding pigments to beeswax, but there are several other recipes that can be used — some containing other types of waxes , damar resin, linseed oil , or other ingre...
