4H Tutorial

Listening to: All This Time by Britt Nicole

So it's summer and summer means several things for me:

Swim Team

Camp

4H

And 4H means several more.

Baking

Sewing

Crafting

Photographing

Writing

wow. So 4H is basically a plethora of things. I usually do a cooking/baking project, maybe a craft or two, photography, a sewing project and a project like Attention Shoppers (buy an outfit with a budget and write a story and model it) or Entrepeneurship (this years choice. Start a business and wriote about it, to make a poster. Making duct tape flower pens)

And this year will be very, very different because Pinterest has enterest my life. I did not just type enterest on purpose. That was creepy.

Today I made my first Pin-Project, and I'm going to give you a tutorial. Here's the original:

So that tutorial makes it seem a lot easier than it really is. It was trickier, but still only took me half an hour to make.

Diy Swirl Vase.

The supplies. Craft acrylic paint and a vase. Mine was pretty small but any size will work.

To prepare: put 3-4 drops of water into each paint bottle and shake. This will make the paint easier to move in the vase.

To start: Put a few drops of paint in the bottom. Move it around for awhile. Add more.

Rinse and repeat. Okay, don't rinse, but do repeat.

lightly tapping on the side of the glass will help make the paint move.

My sisters.

The holes will close up. Its fun to watch. Just do a lot of tilting, but make sure you move slowly to give the paint time to move.

.

When you're done, put the vase upside-down on a paper plate to let the exess paint come out

Then lay on it's side so gravity doesn't make the paint all fall to the bottom.

Finished prodect. This is before drying. I will post a picture after drying too. It needs to dry for about a day or two.

Yup! If you have any ideas for future posts, let me know!
