Doodled Journal Covers

I seem to have a thing for notebooks, sketchbooks, journals, basically anything paper. What I love best about them (aside from everything) is being able to personalize them, to make them your own. Many journal or sketchbook covers are fabric which makes them perfect for decorating with drawings or doodles using fabric markers. For lighter colors you can easily use the regular fabric markers but for dark colors Tulip’s Opaque Fabric Markers work perfectly! With back to school right around the corner, decorating a new sketchbook or journal is a perfect way to get ready for the new school year. Let’s get started!

Promposal T Shirt

Prom season is quickly approaching! If you are  planing to ask some to come as your date, you will definitely want to ask in a creative way! The term for asking someone to prom is "promposal" and there are so many awesome ways to do it! Today i'll be sharing a really fun DIY Promposal T Shirt! 

Puffy Paint Monogram Storage

I have totally fallen for the Monogram trend. I just want to put my initials on everything! I made this supper cool Monogram storage tote for my friend using some Puffy Paint and her initial that I printed from my computer using word art. It was so easy! 

Here is what you will need:

a denim or fabric storage bin 

Word Art letter (printed and cut out) 

Puffy Paint 

Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue 
Ribbons
Scissors 

Step 1: Using the Clear Gell Tacky Glue, wrap ribbon around the bin near the top. Layer 2 different ribbons for more visual appeal. 

Step 2: Place the cut out word art letter in the middle of the storage bin. If you are worried about it moving you can adhere it down with repositionable adhesive. Take the puffy paint along the outside of the letter. Add more dots closer to the letter and less as you move outwards. Then remove the paper letter. 

Step 3: Cut the ribbons into about 6 inch strips and tie and tie them around the handles. You can add a few or cover the entire thing like I did. This adds such a fun twist! 

It was so easy to make, but the results are awesome! Personalization is everything these days! This would be such a cute basket for a gift too, that they can then use as storage in their room! It is perfect to store all of those random knick knacks in a stylish way!

How To Stud Your Flats!

These are my "Tell me about it, STUD." Flats. (Clever, right?) I LOVE me some black flats, but what do you do when they get scruffed up? STUD THEM! This is a QUICK and EASY project using Liquid Fusion! Here we go!

 Supplies:

• Studs (7mm)
• Liquid Fusion
• Flats
• Sand Paper
• Bamboo Stick

 Step One: I lightly sanded my shoes in the area I wanted to glue. Next, pour some glue into a paint tray, and with a bamboo stick, apply glue on to the back of stud.

 Step Two: Place stud on to your shoe. If you're unsure of a pattern, google "Studded Flats" and you'll find some ideas! For this project I did sort of a triangle, top row=6, middle=5, and bottom=4. Play around with it!

Step Three: Wait for about an hour for them to dry. After that, wear those babies out!
 Check out this quick video I posted on Vine(@mayainthemoment) of the process!

I also made a headband! does it match my pink streaks? So punk, right? :)

MAYA IN THE MOMENT TEEN CRAFT: Easy Puffy Paint iPhone Cases

 Hey guys! I LOVED making these cases. I've been seeing everybody with their crazy cell phone cases and decided to make my own versions. My mom recently bought a batch of clear cases on eBay super cheap and they just happened to fit my iPhone 4s.

The most common way of decorating these is the "decoden" method and using bathroom silicone and all kinds of little charms and baubles. I tried out using Puffy Paint because I wanted a brightly colored background and it worked! Once you see all the colors of Puffy Paint, you'll get a lot of ideas. The Puffy Paint acts as a glue to hold everything in place.
Here is my tutorial video:

You'll definitely get addicted. Enjoy!

LINK SUPPLIES: 
Tulip Crystals
Tulip Puffy Paint
A Chop Stick
Clear iPhone case
Other objects: Buttons, big gems, plastic charms, old jewelry pieces, guitar picks, anything small and eye catching!

Puffy Paint, topped with giant gems, then filled in with Tulip Glam It up Crystals!

Cover your work surface with plastic. Squirt the Puffy Paint on the phone case and move it around with the chopstick so you have a thick even layer. When placing items on the cover, start with the larger objects and then use the Tulip Crystals to "fill in." Make sure to let dry over night or ever longer if needed!

How to Make a Zig Zag Chevron Canvas

Learn how to make a super cute glittered Zig Zag Chevron Canvas in a few quick steps in this easy to follow tutorial from the talented Miss Avalon Potter for iLoveToCreate Teen Crafts!

'Teen Crafted, Mom Approved'

Autumn has always been my favorite season. The way the leaves form a masterpiece of color, and the crisp air rejuvenates the mind amazes me. Even though I have never been a large fan of Halloween (I don’t do scary), I still love the thick textures and shabby chic appeal that pops up during this time. I have a beach theme throughout my room the blends naturally with this style, so I am always finding new things I would love to hang up. I decided for this project I would make something that would go with the theme of my room and the theme of the season. I hope you enjoy it!
