First Post!

This is my new blog, I know, very exciting right! So I thought I would start off with my latest DIY project. I have had two empty picture frames for forever, so when I got up yesterday morning and saw them I said to myself, "These frames have sat empty long enough!". The first frame was easy enough to fill.

 A month or two ago I found this flower on the street, I pressed/dried it and then just used a scrap piece of paper for backing and framed it,and it looks great! 

But I had some trouble trying to find something to fill the second frame. The only dried flowers I had on hand were small or broken. So I turned to the internet to get some creative ideas. Using the materials I had on hand, which as it turned out to be, construction paper (a great staple for the wannabe DIYer or craftster), scissors, and an empty frame. After about an hour of misguided searches, failed attempts, and ideas that were WAY out of my league, I found this great construction paper collage idea from Steven Andrew. 

What shocked me is that it was SO 
easy, and looks really cool. It's a great craft idea for kids or someone looking for something different to hang on their wall. All you have to do is take four or five sheets of different coloured construction paper, or even add a pattern in there and chop away. The key is to spread it around,cut small pieces and mix in the different colours. I used red, yellow, white, light blue, and a dark blue. 

I had a lot of fun doing these,and hopefully by next week I will have finished my root beer bottle candle holders, I am UBER excited for those! Until next time good-bye!
