DIY and Crafts — gradient

A few days ago I shared a fun colorful acrylic cake stand. And I realized that I never shared a few easy ways how to make your own custom colored acrylic to cut in the Glowforge. I always get asked where I get my colors of acrylic and well, one of my tricks is that I spray paint clear acrylic in any color I want! I used Montana gold acrylic spray paint to paint one side of the clear acrylic while leaving the other side with its protective covering. That way the unpainted side remains clean. No obviously this is not...

Yet again I am impressed by the power of spray paint. I went to my local Goodwill the other day looking for unique bottles for an upcoming project.

I decided to cuten up the discs by turning them into hearts and smiley faces with a paint pen. See the full DIY video right here! Supplies:...

If you’re on the lookout for a no-carve pumpkin craft AND you don’t want to have to go out and buy a ton of supplies, this is the DIY for you! I whipped up these ink-transfer marbled pumpkins with a few inexpensive household items. They turned out so pretty. Try this idea for a craft night or as an alternative to a pumpking-carving competition. Okay, so are you ready to find out what I used to create these beautiful abstract marbled swirls? Markers. That’s right! I took a white trash bag and scribbled with markers in my favorite bright pastels,...
