One thing I love about websites like StumbleUpon and Pinterest is all of the arts and craft ideas I find. I love DIY activities, so I'm always looking for ideas online. Lately, I have been looking for ideas for cute decorations for my apartment next year. As a junior, I will be sharing an apartment on campus with three other girls, so Ill need some unique and innovative decorations to set my room apart from the others! I love vintage looking pieces and personalized art work, both of which I found tons of DIY ideas on Pinterest! The project that stood out most to me was a canvas that you can personalize with any quote you'd like. According to the directions, you take an old picture or painting on a canvas and put letter stickers on it to spell out the words of the quote that you want to display. You then paint over the canvas with any color paint you'd like (white makes the quote stand out best). Once the paint dries, you peel off the stickers, revealing the original picture where the letter stickers used to be! This is such a cute idea and a super easy way to personalize any room! Another idea that I thought was adorable were homemade teacup candles. You can find beautiful old teacups at any flea market or thrift store, and many craft supply stores sell wax. To make this craft you simply melt the wax down and pour it evenly into the teacup, making sure to place a candle wick in the center. I love candles and the old teacup ties in the vintage look that I like, so I'll definitely be making these over the summer :)
