Seen this online and thought it was worth a share.
Homemade calendar made from paint swatches. Can be collected from any B&Q for free. Then just put it a 16 x 20 frame and your done.
You can use a whiteboard marker to write in your activities and easily wipe them off if they change. :)

Art Night is back this Friday. This years festival is taking place not just in London, but around the country and online too! You can see all the programme on the website: https://artnight.london/

Supplies

– Pressed flowers
– Floral scissors
– Parchment paper
– Heavy books or flower Press
– Glue
– Shadow box frame (I used an IKEA Ribba frame)
– Craft foam sheet
– Colored paper
– Pins (I used specimen pins, because I love the gold tops and matte black stems)
– Tweezers

1. Cut the flowers close to the base. Small, thinner flowers that can lay flat work best for pressing. Line a book with parchment paper and place cut flowers on the page without overlapping. Press for two to four weeks until they are completely dry.

Tip: Try to press your flowers when they are in full bloom to help get the best shape and colors. The colors will fade, but pressing them in the height of their bloom helps. Make sure they are completely dry, too, or they can mold.

2. Cut the paper and foam to frame size using the mat as a guide. Adhere foam to the back of the paper and frame.

3. Compose an arrangement of pressed flowers. Once you decide on your layout, pin flowers in place starting with the bottom layer and working up. Use tweezers to easily pick up the pressed flowers.

Enjoy your new art piece!

Materials:
Glass Coupes (can buy from Ikea)
Permanent adhesive vinyl (any brand works, just look for the colours you love!)
Scissors

Begin by cutting out the vinyl with your scissors into tiny little confetti bits. I like to cut the vinyl into asymmetrical, wavy edged ovals to give them the perfect confetti look.

Once you have your vinyl pieces cut in various sizes, peel off the backing and stick them on the outside of your clean glasses to form your confetti pattern.

Repeat until you fill the cup portion of the glass

Perfect for summer days :)

Really great piece on all of the free exhibitions happening around London over the coming weeks including Rhys Coren & Kate Dunn!

Great idea for anyone looking to add a unique touch to their home. Needing only 3 items:
String
Reclaimed wood
Photos

This design is great to add a personal touch at a low cost. Polaroid pictures look great with this design but any type can be used; Boots offer quick printing services and are local to most places.
Also a great gift for the person that has everything!

Things you will need:
Smooth rocks about 2” in diameter; a variety of shapes but mostly full and round
White paint pen
Black paint pen
Satin Acrylic Paint in colors Black Tie, Buff Beige, and Cotton Ball
Paper towels and mixing cups
Paintbrush

Instructions
Make sure all rocks are clean and dry.
Give the rock a washed-out look using a watered down black and white paint mixture.
Mix a small amount of water with a bit of black paint and paint the surface of the rock.
Right after, use a clean paper towel and wipe away the excess paint leaving a washed-out appearance.
Do the same on the other rock or rocks with a watered down white paint mixture. Let paint dry fully before moving onto the next step.
Using a white paint pen, gently begin drawing spirals all over the black-washed rocks. Avoid pressing on to the paint pen too much, keeping the strokes light and consistent.
Do the same on the white-washed rocks using a black paint pen.
On the white sheep, use a fine tip paintbrush to paint a round egg shape on the upper half of the rock in Black Tie. This is to resemble the sheep’s face. Next, paint the ears as well as the sheep hooves.
On the black sheep, do the same except use Buff Beige paint instead.
Using a white paint pen, draw two oval-shaped eyes on the face. Once dry, paint the pupils using a black paint pen
Draw the nose and mouth on the black painted sheep as shown. Repeat for making more painted sheep rocks.

Enjoy!
