Monkey painting

Hey guys! This is a painting that I did of a type of monkey <--- (I forget what it's called) but anyways, I used acrylic paints on this. Warning: do not mix up oil and acrylic paints. BIG difference. Could ruin your painting :| and on a flat paper/canvas. It took me awhile but it was worth it! Hope you enjoy it! -Alia

Oil spill nail art

Hello viewers, followers, likers, etc. I have some super cool nail art 4 u! It's called oil spill nail art. This was originally created by Ashley on: styleonhigh.com but I tried it for myself and it turned out great!
Styleonhigh.com is a really neat website all about fashion! She has a topic each week (eye it), There are DIY projects that match the topic (DIY it), 50 super duper cute clothes that match the topic and are under $50!!! (Buy it) it's a really cool website, trust me! Please visit it! Anyways, here is the nail art:
U can use any dark colors but I used: ulta golden glitter, L.A. girl magnetic, sephora by o-p-i dark blue/purple, a sparkly black, sephora by o-p-i greenish turquoise, and sephora by o-p-i dark green.
Sorry I don't have pictures for the steps.

1. Paint your nails the Ulta golden glitter nail polish for the base coat. Let dry.

2. One by one put small strokes or dots of each of the other colors. Do one finger at a time. While the finger is wet use the clear coat and brush over the finger with the wet nail polish on it to kind of blend the wet colors together.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to all of your fingers.
And TADA! Your done! Hope this helps! Thanks Ashley!

DIY braided hair extensions

Lets make hair extensions!
 Here is what you will need: scissors, 2-3 different colored string, a clip or bobby pin.

1. Get one piece of three different colors of string and cut them all to the length of your hair. Then separate them- If you only have two colors, like me, get two pieces of one color and one piece of the other. Or do it all one color. (separate it) 
2. Tie a knot at the top of the string. Start braiding it (cross it) braid the whole thing but leave some unbraided at the end (braid it) 
3. use the clip or bobby pin-whichever one you chose- and loop the string through it. (Loop it through)
4. Tie a knot where you looped it (knot it) 
5. TADA! Your done now you wear it!

Natural art

I went to the tamarack in West Virginia. The tamarack has a big shopping center full of art! Here are some pics that I took of art that they created using our natural resources! 
In this pic, they got string, or a material like string, and hooked on the insides of geodes. Geodes are rocks that when you crack them open, there are crystals, amethysts, etc. and made necklaces and bracelets.
In this picture, they got a tree branch, put it on a wooden platform, stuck hooks into it, and used more insides of geodes to hang on the tree. The type of natural resource that they used is called agate. 
Such creativity!

Long lasting love

Have any of you had a pet that left you? 

I had a dog named buster. A few years ago, I found a picture of him when he was a puppy, in my school bag.  I decided to draw it. I had a lot of fun drawing this picture and I hope you like it. It brought back a lot of memories.


DIY morphed beaniebabies

You may ask "what is a DIY beanie-baby?" 
Well, the answer is simple. A morphed beanie baby. Here's what you do: 
1. Get a normal beanie baby
2. Cut off ALL of the tags
3. Use the scissors to cut off all four legs. Start at the top of the leg ( by the body-where the stitching is) and make a circle around until the leg is completely off.

Cut where the dotted lines are
4. Then be very careful and do the same to the head-cutting all of the stitching. If it has a tail do the same also.
5. Get another beanie baby and repeat these steps.
6. Take apart as many beanie babies as you want. 
7. Chose a body, 4 legs, a head, and a tail if you want.
8. Turn your beanie baby inside out. Along with all of the body parts
9. Start sewing the legs on to the body. The leg should fit in the hole in the body where the previous leg was. Sew all 4 legs of your choice on the body.
10. The head is very hard. Sew the head in where the previous head was. be very careful.
11. Turn your beanie baby over so it is laying on it's back. Cut a small slit through it's belly. At least 2 inches depending on how big the body is.
12. You are going to use the slit to turn the beanie baby normal(not inside out) to do this reach inside the slit and grab the head. Pull it out along with the legs.
13. Use the stuffing to stuff the head and legs only.
14.Get a Small Plastic sandwich stuff it with the "beans" from the beanie babies.
15. Put the bag in the body.
 16. Sew up the slit.
17. tada! Your done! It was long, but worth the end result. It took me a few days to do this. Sorry if it was confusing.
