Dyed Galaxy Shoes

I love everything galaxy, and so I decided to try out a technique I saw online on some shoes. 

Basically all you need is:

-a pair of white or blank canvas shoes (you can get these for really cheap at a lot of discount stores)

-dye in blue and pink (I used some out of a tie dye kit)

-sponges

-white acrylic paint

To start off, soak the shoes (and the shoelaces) in some water. Then begin sponging on pink and blue wherever you'd like. Just go crazy with it! You can sponge on some water over the top to sort of make the dyes swirl around a bit. Once you're done adding colour, flick or dot white acrylic paint on to make stars. 

That's it! (Let them dry, of course!)

Painted Pencil Bag

I felt like painting the other day, and so I decided to decorate a blank pencil bag (or you could use it for whatever) that I bought at Hobby Lobby awhile back. I did one once before freehanded (it was an MGMT one!), but I wanted to try out painter's tape this time. I made some triangles and rectangles with the painter's tape first, and then pretty much just swirled random colours around. Then I removed the tape and wala! The paint went under the tape in a couple of places, but I really like the outcome anyway!

DIY Glitter Key

I saw this on Pinterest the other day, and I decided I would make it! 

Start out with any key you don't want or don't need to use. Paint glue on the top half of it, making sure to cover both sides. (I used tacky glue, but there are probably other kinds of glue you can use)

Then sprinkle glitter over the glue. I used several different colours for mine. When you're done, let it dry a while and then paint over it with clear top coat nail polish. You can put it on a necklace when you're done, which is what I did! Or I bet there are other cool things you could do with it as well! : )
