Recycled Crafts, Art Tutorials, iPad Mini Cases, Awesome Art Designs

I came across an awesome blog earlier this week and with here consent, I thought I would share some of her tutorials for being creative. The blog is Alma Stoller and if you are the artsy crafty type like I am, you'll love tooling around her very pretty and inspirational site!

I love creating things from recycled items that I have on hand. Here is Alma's tutorial for creating canvas out of cardboard from cereal boxes.

Cardboard Canvas Tutorial

I love that many of Alma's tutorials show you how to make some great artwork out of recycled materials. This next tutorial from her is about using magazine pages to paint on. You can cut your created art piece into smaller pieces and then use them to make larger mixed media artwork. I think creating artwork this way would be great to just frame as is. Take a peek at her video and be inspired!

Here is a link to an article I wrote on Squidoo with some great ideas of crafts and gifts that kids can create.
