FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE VIDEO TUTORIAL HERE

supplies:

Canvas (whichever size you like, I used 8”x10”) - http://bit.ly/2vpxzTY

Alphabet stickers - http://bit.ly/2usgeoW 

White acrylic paint - http://bit.ly/2v6Vg0M 

Acrylic paint in color of your choice - http://bit.ly/2wtfxgo 

Paint brush

Ruler/tape measure

Pencil

Palette/paper plate, cup with water, paper towels

text instructions included below the cut:

instructions:

First, pick what lyrics you want to use. Make sure your sticker sheet has all the letters you need.

Using your ruler, align where you want the words on the canvas and place the letter stickers.

Next, paint a thin layer of white paint over the entire canvas. You might be wondering why since the canvas is white, but by painting the white first, you’ll get a neater appearance because it will prevent the top paint color from bleeding under the stickers.

After the white paint dries, go over your canvas with your top color. Apply 1-2 coats as needed.

After the top color dries, it’s time to peel off the letters.

If you don’t let the paint dry completely, and paint does smear under the letters, you can go back in with a paint brush and white paint to touch it up.

Now you have your own lyric art to hang on your wall!

supplies:

Glass jar - http://bit.ly/2kky7FX 

Alphabet stickers - http://bit.ly/2usgeoW 

Printout of the concert you’re saving for

Tape

Ruler/tape measure

Permanent marker

Dremel

text instructions below the cut:

instructions:

First, unscrew the jar lid. Find the center of the lid, mark it, measure out about an inch on each side.

Dremel out the coin slot.

After that’s all done, u can use nail polish remover to get rid of any leftover marks from the marker

Next take your printout and put tape on both sides. Make sure your print fits the dimensions of your jar.

Roll it up, put it in the jar, secure the tape. The tape is so the picture will stay in place, but will be removable so you can switch it out for a new concert.

Lastly, add a finishing touch by applying letter stickers that say “concert fund” to the front.

Now you can watch your spare change add up and cash it in for some concert tickets.

supplies:

Stiffened black felt - http://bit.ly/2wfqMK9 

Felt in color of your choice - http://bit.ly/2hvjPRU 

Glue - http://amzn.to/2v6Y8dS or http://bit.ly/2u9asJn 

Puffy fabric paint - http://bit.ly/2hvonYl 

Button - http://bit.ly/2ucazb4 (or you can use these snaps: http://amzn.to/2vq1sUj )

Scissors

Needle and thread

Pencil

Circles to trace (I used a mason jar ring and a roll of tape)

text instructions included below the cut

instructions:

Grab your black sheet of felt and trace the largest circle. I used a standard mason jar ring. Trace the circle on the felt and then cut it out.

Do the same thing with the colored sheet of felt, except using the smaller circle. I used a roll of tape.

Now grab your glue & attach the two pieces of felt together. If you’re using fabric glue, give the felt time to dry before moving on.

Next, fold the felt in half and cut a small circle out of the middle. You could also trace a small coin, like a dime, if you want a neater circle.

Next we attach the fastener. I used a button, but I will linked you to a snap kit that works as well. If using a snap, follow the instructions that come with the snaps, not these steps for a button.

Fold the felt in half, find the center, mark the width of the button. Carefully cut it open.

Now put your pencil in the opening and mark on the opposite inside where the button will go. 

Sew on the button.

Now you could stop there, or you can take the puffy paint and decorate your headphone case.

And now you’re ready to rep your fav album keep your headphones tangle-free.
