Resources

Resources
I find resources everywhere! I love Pintrest, google, friends, my own little mind (lol). On most of the things I will add my own personal touch or tweek them just a little to my liking, but just so everyone knows NOT all of the things you will see on this page are of my own thought process. The things you will see on here have been tried & tested by me personally & have my personal reviews (like or dislike).
I am a DIY LOVER!!!!! I will try the things that catch my eye, if you would like me to try something or you have a question feel free to post up a comment :)


Now with that said ... I will give you a few hints at becoming a DIY artist. (LOL) Use what you have!! Most of the time people find DIY creations expensive and yes some can be, but if you begin to build up a stock of odds & ends you will find that it is cheaper than you think!


Here are a few of the things I use & find :)


1. Tin cans. We all use can goods SAVE THOSE CANS!!
2. Jars. (Mayo, spaghetti sauce, pickles) Save them all!
3. Clearance Racks. Here you can find all kinds of things...
Picture frames, art supplies, toys, socks, ribbon, blankets, material, stickers, scrap book paper, board games, canvas(painted or unpainted), anything you can use!
4. Boxes. Good sturdy boxes are always a good use.
5. Thrift stores & Garage Sales. Same as Clearance racks but better! Here you can find furniture, old T-shirts, pantry doors, glassware, great frames & all kinds of goodies. :)
There are many place to get your personal stock from use your noodle !
I keep all my things for crafts for me & the kids great rainy day or hectic day projects ! Nothing settles kids down & teaches them like focusing on a cool project :)
