The unique craft project uses the hand print of your close friends, yoru mother and so on. Use their hand to make this pattern. Choose their favorite fabric for the material. Then print
their name along with the year on a piece of card stock then used the Plexiglas or glass (that came with the frame) and a pencil to create the template.
Then use spray starch to make the hand lay nice and flat.
Want to get idea of your used felt? Try this one, a felt flower pin cushion. The first time I look at this, I am not awake if the shape is a flower and then the pins are acted as the stamen. Maybe for this reason, so the background used the green fabric. So this kind of idea is creative. This craft creation comes from Ashley Johnson from http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com.
Instead of mini candle holder it used for the base, you can also use your mini flower pot, metal pot or small cup. SO, this is the detail guide for this craft project.
Many bottles in home? Instead of giving them free to the beggar, you can make your own art works using them. Like what Aysha told, dripping paint theme to be painted in your glass. You may like the idea or not, but at least your bootle will be look different.. . Bottle can be used to place your bath salt, oil or plant… as long as it is not food ingredient. Ok…
Approximate Time: 20 minutes without drying time
Supplies:
* Glass Jar
* Assorted Acrylic Paints
* Clear Craft Varnish/Sealer
* Paintbrush
* Water
Notes On Jar: Try to use a “bumpy” glass for this project. The more super-slick the glass, the less the paint will stick and the straighter the drips will remain. You want a slightly rough glass to help the paint stick and give lots of interesting paths for the drips.

Here are what Cheryl do for her used paint chips:
