How many times have you signed on to Pinterest and said, “I could so totally do that!” Pinterest is a gold mine for crafters or crafters to be. With so many different craft ideas, from jars, to quilting, you could even learn how to make your own clothes. If you are looking for fun activities to keep you entertained on the weekend or after work, try out these Pinterest picks.
Painted Wine Bottles
If you are a wine drinker than you have empty bottles lying around. Instead of letting these bottles pile up, why not buy some paints and show off your creativity. Painting and be a very relaxing activity. It relieves stress and depending on if you’re “in the zone” you can even meditate. If you aren’t the best painter than maybe get some stencils or even a few doilies. Use these bottles as decorations in the kitchen or add some flowers and make it a vase.
Stained Glass Candle Holders
If you are a person who loves candles, then why not try to make the candleholder yourself. You’ll need some Mod Podge, some tissue paper, a paintbrush, scissors and maybe some special stencils to trace a specific shape for your holder. You can put flowers on it, maybe some hearts. The choice is yours and there are many of them!
Mosaic Tile Birdbath using Recycled DVDs
How many old CDs do you have just laying around the house? If you are like most people it’s probably a lot. Try breaking those CDs up being as careful as possible obviously. Take the small pieces and glue them to a plate. Make sure there is enough glue coats so you won’t cut yourself. Maybe alter the dish and glue these bits on a birdbath or a lamp to spice things up.
