Wylie Arts Festival

This is another sample of the products we will have at the Arts Festival. It's a Santa's hat. We painted the hat with red acrylic paint, and Tara used a molding paste to make the trim and the pom-pom - with glitter on top. The bad part is that the molding paste takes too long to dry, so we also tried with Modge Pod and glitter. It looses dimension, but gains speed, when you have to make several at a time.

Wylie Arts Festival

I decided to participate at the Wylie Arts Festival, in December. Because it's going to be 10 hours of activities, I invited Tara Vu, from Personal Scrapbook (Allen, TX) to join me. We've been making our crafts like crazy, in order to be ready by December 4th. Here's a sample of the products we will sell: it's chipboard, painted with acrylic paint and decorated with Stickles and a ribbon. It can be used as a gift tag, a tree ornament, table decoration or anything your creativity desires. Try it at home! It's easy, simple and beautiful. Have fun.
