How to: Make an awesome piece of art

Step 1: Grab whichever canvas tells you to prettify it. 
Step 2: Pick a colour, today is blue. 
Step 3: Doodle on the canvas. I picked hearts (it is for the Valentine's Day giveaway after all) 
Doodling with a Blue Sharpie
Step 4: Rummage through your crafty supplies, and pick out some things in the colour you like, think different textures, and media. I picked out a blue Sharpie, light blue tissue paper and grey/blue glitter stock card.

Step 5: Play with it all. Layer the items you have picked. Change it round. Decide an idea. Go with it. 
Step 6: Use Mod Podge

Step 7: Take photos of some stages, not others. Mod Podge dries too quickly for action shots. 
All done!
Step 8: Love what you have created!

 Step 9: If you are giving your creation away, wrap it up and make it look awesome. Lacking ideas of how to make a gift look exciting, check out How to Wrap your Crap for some clever ideas.
All wrapped up
P.S for ease of Mod Podging tissue paper, wear jeans that aren't your favourite. They will get glue on them. Crafting is messy business.
Part 3 of the gift lacked photos in progress, but it is the little round mystery on top there. A jar with a Mod Podge and Washi Tape lid, with a pair of earrings made my the beautiful Alexia inside.
