Yesterday, we had spontaneous craft time. Of course, this began with some perusing of Pinterest. Eva decided to bling out her flip flops with ribbon and buttons. I saw a diy for baby footprint impressions in homemade dough. Yes, I know that no one is interested in an impression of my foot in clay, but the idea inspired my own project to take shape.
I used the ratios of flour/salt/water that was used in the footprint project, and made my dough on a much smaller scale.
I formed the dough in a circle and used toothpicks to make my design. (Hope anchors the soul...inspired by Hebrews 6:19.)
I baked it for about 30 minutes. I don't know the temp...maybe 150 degrees Celsius. (I'm in France...details like this seem unimportant!)
Painted it.
Put some clear nail polish on top to make it shiny.
Voila. :)
A tiny little reminder of where my hope lies: in an unchangeable God who loves me.
These little moments we craft, we really deeply believe in what we do. This tiny creation is a huge proof of your beliefs and a nice reminder.
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl. I'm thinking about dying my hair red again. Seeing your pictures reminded me of how happy having red hair makes me. :)
