Supplies needed for this project:
Simple materials don't have to be boring. Using watercolor paper, staples, hot glue, and paint, you can achieve a fun wearable for whatever occasion. Measure your head and build a base. Cut out shapes and mold with water. Allow shapes to dry. Hot glue shapes together building texture and form to create a magical adornment.
Get creative with color. Take inspiration from nature to paint your butterfly mask, but don't be afraid to expand your design into something that is unique to you. Make a bigger, odder, brighter statement piece that will stand out and shine. The glitter and vibrant paint colors in this set are perfect for this project.
Have fun with this project! The color combos you can achieve with the Summer Should be Fun Starter Pack are endless. Mix colors together or add in white to expand the palette even more. Take it a step further and make a costume to go with the head piece. Use SoSoft acrylics to paint your fabric creation to keep flexible, durable, and permanent colors on your design.

Miniature Fantasy Studio
Feeling unhinged (in a cute way)? Perfect. Meet the Delulu Room - a miniature studio-turned-portal to another realm, created with DecoArt's Delulu Starter Pack: a mix of neons, glow-in-the-dark, and glitter paints. There's stained glass. There's shag carpet. There's a flying pegasus. This is what happens when '70s fantasy movies, Lisa Frank, and a midnight craft spiral collide.
What is Plein Air Painting?
The French term "plein air" or open-air painting allows artists to observe and capture a first-hand account of a particular outdoor view, typically in one sitting or "alla prima". Unlike a photograph, which captures a moment in time, plein air painting can incorporate the passage of time, the expression of spontaneity, and the sensory effect of the environment as displayed by the changing light and color. Painting outside also encourages making quick decisions and adapting to the environment.
