Hi guys, I cannot believe how many of you loved my Things to do When You're Bored
Over the Summer video.
If you're new here from that video, welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Today I have even more DIY ideas of stuff that you can do when you're still bored,
still just sitting at home all summer long.
So be sure to subscribe and like this video, and stay tuned until the end of the video
because I have a very exciting craft supply giveaway for you guys.
One of you is gonna win a pretty sweet prize pack, so all of the details will be at the
end of the video.
So you guys know that I love Perler Beads, and today we're going to make them 3D into
these fun rainbow wind spinners.
To make these, you're going to want to make lines of Perler Beads that are nine beads
long.
There's no complicated pattern to follow here, literally anyone can make a line of
beads.
Once you've made all of the colors that you want, put your ironing paper on top and
then iron them just like you would with any other Perler Bead project.
Really try to get them evenly melted though, so that they look sort of like this.
Once they've cooled down for a minute, flip them over and iron the other side, again trying
to keep them as evenly melted as possible.
They should look like this when you're done, and I made three of each color, but if you're
really bored, you can make as many as you like.
To assemble it, cut a piece of wire and bend the end so that it has a little loop.
Then use a thumbtack to make a hole in the center bead of each of your colored lines
and thread them onto the wire.
Keep doing this until you've added all of your Perler Bead pieces.
Once you get to the top, bend the wire to make another loop and trim off any extra wire.
Then you can thread some string through that loop, hang it up wherever you want, and arrange
it into a spiral or other designs.
This would be so cute on a porch next to a birdhouse, but I don't have a porch or a
birdhouse, so I just hung mine up in my room.
Next we're going to add some color to this t-shirt with embroidery.
Trust me, it's really easy.
You can start with any t-shirt you like, I'm using this pineapple shirt I got off of the
Forever21 clearance rack for four dollars.
You'll also need three colors of embroidery thread - I'm using fun neon colors.
You'll need a large sewing needle for each color and a pair of scissors.
Cut a piece of thread for each color and thread them onto your needles, tying a knot on the
other end.
Now we're going to add a stripe of color here on the seam of the sleeve.
I'm not actually sure if this type of stitch has a name, but basically, just sew down in
a straight line, and then come back up to the top and sew another straight line right
next to it to get a solid block of color.
Do ten stitches this way, and then this is the pattern we're going to make to get a
gradient effect.
So once you finish your first block, thread your next color onto the shirt and do a stitch,
and then alternate colors for ten stitches.
Then do ten more stitches of just your second color.
And then thread on your third color and alternate those for ten stitches.
I think you guys get the gist - just make sure to tie off your colors as you finish
each section.
And try to keep your stitches as neat as you can - mine were a little off since I was doing
it away from myself towards the camera.
But if you're really bored all day long, just take your time with it.
Keep going with that pattern all the way around both sleeves, and also around the neckline.
It probably took me about three hours to do the whole shirt, but I love how it came out,
and it adds such a fun pop of color to a shirt that otherwise was a little boring.
Next we're going to make greeting cards.
Everyone loves getting mail, so if you have a free afternoon, you can make a handful of
cards to have on hand for the next time you're invited to a last minute birthday party or
your mom makes you send a thank you note.
To make these, begin by printing out your message backwards.
I'll have my designs linked below for you to download, but you can write any text and
use any font that you like.
So, cut down the paper and fold it to make a card - but this is important - make sure
your message is on the inside.
Now you'll need two pieces of scrapbook paper - one patterned and one solid.
Use a gluestick to glue the front of the card to the patterned paper and trim it down.
Then open up the card and use a craft knife to cut out each letter.
If you have a Silhouette or a Cricut machine, they can do this for you, but I mean the whole
point is that you're really bored, so you might as well do it by hand.
Just make sure to also cut out the inside shapes from each letter and save those, because
we'll be using them later.
Also the great thing about using an organic font like this is that you don't have to
be super exact with your cutting, just try to get it as close as possible.
So once you've cut out the entire thing, grab your solid paper.
Use your gluestick to glue the card to the solid paper and once again, cut off the extra
paper.
Then to finish it off, grab those inside shapes of the letters and use your gluestick to glue
them down, and I found it helpful to use the back of a pencil to kind of press them down,
since your fingers are going to end up covered in glue.
And that's it.
I think this card is so cute, and it looks like something you paid a lot of money for,
but you made it yourself.
You can also make an inverted card, where you cover the card with your solid paper and
then glue down all of the letters you cut out from the first one.
I definitely like the first version better, but you know, you can give this one to that
friend who you don't really like as much.
But these are so easy to make that you can knock out a bunch of them in an afternoon
and have them ready to go no matter what kind of card you need to send.
And finally, we're going a little retro, we're going to do some paint by numbers.
You, yes you in the back with no artistic skill, can indeed paint this ice cream cone,
I promise.
So you can always go onto google or pinterest and print out any paint by numbers template
that you like, but I'm actually going to be using these postcard sets that were made
by my fellow DIY YouTuber Robert Mahar.
They're not paying me to talk about these, although I get them for free, but I genuinely
think they're so so much fun.
These kits come with the paints already mixed, a tiny paintbrush, and two of each design.
You can get this set of cocktail designs, but I'm actually going to do the ice cream
one from the dessert set.
It's so easy, you literally just fill in the shapes with the corresponding color and
suddenly you have a gorgeous painting.
It's just like coloring, only a little more physical and textural, and I think it is so
relaxing to put on a podcast and then slowly fill in the entire design.
It's like a jigsaw puzzle where you have all these little sections that you're piecing
together and then you step back and you've made an ice cream cone.
If you're like me and you love slow, methodical crafts that take all afternoon to finish,
a paint by numbers project is the perfect thing for you.
Plus you can still feel free to get creative.
You can replace the colors with whichever ones you like, add extra patterns or designs
to the image, do you do boo.
So I love how these postcards came out, and if you want to make the exact same ones, I'm
actually giving away two of the paint by numbers kits.
The prize pack will include everything you see on screen right now, and I'm going to
send out all the details for how to enter to win that to my mailing list.
So if you sign up at the link right down below, you'll get an email telling you what you
have to do.
So let me know in a comment right down below which project was your favorite.
And if you watched the entire video, it's not going to be a flamingo party this time,
no, we're going to the popsicle party.
So if you're still watching, leave me a comment saying that you are at the popsicle
party and then I'll know that you're just the coolest person ever for watching my entire
video.
