DIY Craft Bucket List

You could be "so Pinterest" too.

For those who don’t know me that well, I love to craft. Only problem: I’m not that crafty. BUT that doesn’t stop me from trying every once and awhile. This past weekend I was on Pinterest, as per usual, and came across some crafts that made my heart skip a beat because it made me so excited to try them out. So here are six DIYs that are perfect for a sunny afternoon and super fun to finally cross off of your DIY bucket list!

1. Balloon Dart Painting

This has been on my bucket list ever since 2001 when I first saw Princess Diaries. It is a bit more work than some of the other crafts but it is so worth it! I mean who doesn’t want to skip princess lessons for some dart painting?

2. Coffee Themed Mugs

Making cute mugs are one of the easiest DIYs that are affordable and enjoyable. So how can you make it better? Express how much you love coffee on your own mug! For my own taste I love writing funny puns or if I’m feeling especially motivational I’ll try out an elaborate design.

3. Crayon Art

This is such a cool experience! I will warn you though that it is a lot of work. I made my sister a crayon art project last year for her birthday and while it turned out pretty well, I was a bit in over my head. I highly recommend using a lighter to melt the crayons instead of a blow dryer unless you want the melted crayon to splatter everywhere! Otherwise it is a really fun craft and the outcome is legit.

4. String Art

I’ve never attempted this craft mainly because I was told it takes an exceptional amount of time to make, especially if you are a perfectionist like me. However, I am determined to try it out because the outcome is out of this world. There is also a scale of easy to difficult types of string art that you can find for your choosing.

5. Chalkboard ANYTHING

If you didn’t know, chalkboard anything is a huge trend right now. We are craving a time where times were simpler with just a piece of chalk and chalkboard, plus it looks super cute. What is even better is that they have made chalkboard markers so you don’t have to listen to that cringe worthy sound of chalk on a chalkboard. I highly recommend this activity because my sister is proof of making anything on chalkboard look amazeballs.

6. Shadow Box

I love shadow boxes and the meaning behind them. I’ve never made one myself but I have such respect for those who make them because the sentimental value to each of them is all unique. I know it can take some time to gather up materials to set out so that can be hard, but otherwise it is a priceless gift for anyone who receives one.

I hope this has encouraged y’all to find your nearest craft store, grab a friend, and make something during a sunny summer afternoon!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
