Supplies: Tulip Fabric Paint Markers Tulip Graffiti Fabric Markers Aleene's Instant Tacky Putty Large canvas banner Pencil Ribbons & trims (optional) Pro Tip Slide a piece of cardboard under the canvas before you draw so Tulip fabric marker ink doesn't bleed through to your work surface.

Mix lettering styles and fall-inspired colors, then add small seasonal doodles around the boxes for a personal touch. 3.

This tutorial from Oh Yay Studio will show you how to make a tasty-looking hamburger costume for your pets using Aleene’s Felt & Foam Tacky Glue. Halloween has never looked so cute! What you need: Aleene’s Felt & Foam Tacky Glue 1 round foam ball Felt in “burger” colors (tan, white, green, red, yellow) Scissors Knife Paintbrush Brown paint Elastic or ribbon Straight pins (optional) Step 1 Use knife to cut your foam ball into 4 pieces for this burger costume. The top rounded piece will be the top bun, the second piece will be the patty, third will be the bottom bun. Set aside the bottom rounded piece for another craft project! Step 2 Cut a circle of tan felt to fit the top rounded piece, leaving approximately 3 inches around the edges to fold to the underside. Step 3 Use Aleenes Felt & Foam Tacky Glue to glue the felt in place. Optionally, you can secure the felt in place temporarily with straight pins while the glue dries. You'll want the felt to be nice and taut as to eliminate any creases in your DIY dog costume! Step 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the third piece of your foam ball to create the bottom bun. Step 5 This classic burger costume would not be complete without sesame seeds on the bun! Use scissors to cut out seeds from white felt and glue to the top bun. Step 6 Next, you’ll want to create a juicy patty for your dog’s burger costume! Take the second piece of the foam ball and paint all sides brown. Add extra details, such as grill marks and shading, for a more realistic patty. Set aside to dry completely. Step 7 While the patty is drying, cut some felt to create toppings for your DIY dog costume. For this project, Oh Yay Studio made lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and cheese. Get creative with the details to make a one-of-a-kind burger costume for your pup! Try making felt onions, mushrooms, bacon, or any other combination of condiments and toppings! Step 8 Once the paint and glue have dried, it's time to start assembling your dogs burger costume! Remove any pins and begin layering your burger. Start with the bottom bun, then glue down your lettuce, patty, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, and any other toppings. Lastly, glue down the top bun and squeeze the burger together to ensure everything is properly adhered. Step 9 Once the burger costume has set, add elastic or ribbon to the bottom to fit your dog's body. Secure with glue and allow to dry completely. Step 10 Its finally time to dress up your pup! Be sure to snap some photos of this adorable DIY dog costume before the Halloween festivities begin. Will you be creating a burger costume for your furry friends this Halloween with Aleenes?

Create in Full Color: Rainbow DIY Projects for Everyone
Rainbows have a way of bringing every color, style, and personality together—and these four DIY projects are all about celebrating that vibrant, all-inclusive creativity. From bold tie-dye shirts to colorful custom shoes, each craft is inspired by the joy of self-expression and making something uniquely you. #1 Heart Tie-Dye Resist T-shirt This fun shirt we like to say is “perfectly imperfect.” Add little glue hearts to act as a barrier resist, then slowly add your tie dye inside the hearts with a paintbrush. Let it set for 6-8 hours. Then wash the glue away. Some of the dye may sneak under the glue making adorable little altered heart designs. #2 Rainbow Checkered Slip-on Shoes This is where a stencil works best. Place your stencil on canvas shoes and add your rainbow colors in a color pattern of choice. #3 Splatter Paint Shoes There are no rules with this one! Use a paintbrush to splatter, flick and drip rainbow colors on your shoes to make them one of a kind. #4 Watercolor Tie-Dye Button Shirt Apply your dye to your cotton button-down shirt wherever you want and then use a paintbrush dipped in water to “stretch out” the dye color into a watercolor effect.

How To Use Spray Paint For Your Spring Crafts
Is anyone else getting excited for spring? We’re ready for some extra sunshine and rainbows, so we’re making our own to tide us over til the real deal is in full effect. Most of us have been working on crafts and home décor projects in the past year, so if you have some extra COLORSHOT Spray Paints left over, we have a new spring craft for you! At Charlotte’s House will show you how to use spray paint to brighten things up around your house with this colorful rainbow pottery DIY using thrifted vases. What you need: - COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paints in desired colors - Ceramic vases in various sizes and shapes - Protective surface cover - Tools/products to remove labels (if needed) This spring craft is the perfect way to upcycle old vases you have stashed in your cabinet, or vases you can find super cheap thrift shopping. If you picked your vases up in a store, make sure to remove any labels or price stickers and clean the vases to remove dust and prints. Working in a well-ventilated area, cover your work surface to protect it, then spray several light coats of paint onto your vases/ceramicware instead of one heavy coat. This will help prevent the paint from dripping or pooling. Tip: don’t paint the insides of the vases if you plan on using them to display real flowers or plants that need water. Once you’re happy with your spray paint coverage, let everything dry completely. For this spring craft, you’ll want to use lots of bright colors! You can go with a whole spectrum of color or variations of blue, green or any of your favorite shades for a more monochromatic look. Now that you know how to use spray paint on glass & ceramics, get creative and have fun making your own decorative spring arrangement! You can display your rainbow vases on a shelf like At Charlotte’s House, or fill them with plants and flowers if you’re looking for a vibrant and functional set of vases.
