Duct Tape
Duct tape is one of my favorite things to use for making crafts. Duct tape can make a lot of different things starting from simple bows to prom dresses! Duct tape can also come in different colors like pink,white,usual gray,etc . But,duct tape can also come in some funky designs like zebra print,plaid,mustache print,polka dot,and even more!One of my favorite brands of duct tape is duck tape.Duck tape has the best designs and it is easy to use.Today I will show you how to make a duct tape heart.Since January is almost ending and it is almost February I decided that I should get some Valentines Day crafts started! Lets get duct taping...
Since there is a lot of cool street art I thought that I can do something simpler and recreate some kind of 3D figure! Looking at some 3D picture or art looks like it is very complicated to do. But, it is actually pretty easy. I find that 3D art can be inspiring to do more 3D things that you thought you can never draw before. Doing 3D art is super simple by following these steps: Materials:
drawing paper
magic marker or a sharpie
colored pencils
pencil
Directions:
Put your hand on the paper and trace the outline of it very lightly so it won't be noticed too much.
Draw horizontal lines on your paper in magic marker or a sharpie. The lines should be drawn straight outside of the outline of your hand and curved
inside the outline. This will make it look like your hand is popping out of the paper.
Use the colored pencils to color in the lines but don't color the same color in a row or else your drawing will not look as that good and pop out like 3D!
So, now it is a new year. There has not been much snow yet or not at all depending on where you live. So, today we are going to make our own ''snow''. We are going to make paper snowflakes! I hope that these paper snowflakes will bring out the Winter in January. So, lets get started!
Materials: --White Construction Paper --Scissors
Step 1. Fold your paper down to a corner and cut the excess rectangleoff.
Step 2. After you cut the excess paper fold your paper in half so it looks like a smaller triangle.
Step 3. Cut your pattern on the sides of your triangle but try not to cut too much or else your snowflake will fall apart.
Step 4. Unfold your snowflake and now you can hang it or decorate with it.
