Let's Catch Up: I've Been Crafting!

Ever since I found out that I would be moving to a new place, I've been crafting like crazy...and a little before then too! Getting to decorate a whole apartment gives me a lot of room for the Pinterest projects that I've been eyeing!

Since all of these crafts were fairly simple, I thought I'd group them into one post!

1. Princess Canvases
When I heard that I was getting FOUR new GG-littles, I knew that I wanted to make them something special. My sorority family is super close, and I wanted these new girls to know exactly who I was. That's when I came up with this cute idea!

 My supplies:
The finished product!
I personalized each canvas with a crown, glitter princess cut out and the girl's name!

2. Glitter-Stemmed Wine Glasses
I also made these for my new GG's, but I haven't finished them just yet! I'm still planning on adding something on the main part of the glass.

I used a foam brush, Mod Podge and pink glitter, then sprayed them with the acrylic sealer!

3. DIY Confetti Art
This was an idea that I found on Pinterest, and instantly loved! And it was super easy! 

Here's the Mint Love Social Club original: 

I picked up my supplies at A.C. Moore and the closest scrapbook store!
The craft took about an hour total! I punched out my 1" circles, placed them on the canvas and glued down each one!

Quick, easy & perfect for my pink and gold room!

4. North Carolina Canvas
This craft took the most time because it involved three of my family members! 

My Dad is a huge North Carolina lover, so I knew that he would be perfect to draw the state. It took him all of five minutes! I was so impressed!
Since I can't write in cursive very well, my mom wrote on the canvas for me! After they were done, I painted the whole thing. I painted multiple coats on the actual state, so it wouldn't look streaky. 

I can't wait to hang this up somewhere in my new apartment!

The hearts are placed on my current home and Boone, where I'll be moving:)
These crafts have been super fun, and kept me busy! I can't wait to cross a few more off my list!

As always, Have a Sweet Day!
