Side Quest: Craft Night: Memory #2 Painting BotW


Well it's been awhile since we did some arts and crafts, so today I wanted to share with you a painting that I did a couple of weeks ago. Using all the inspiration from watching Boss Ross I could muster, this cute acrylic on canvas is the first of hopefully completing all the memories in BotW. Enjoy!

Side Quest: Craft Night - Majora's Mask


I haven't posted a craft project in a while and I wanted to share with you one that I just finished up. So today, I share with you my newest walk decoration of Majora's Mask. This took a weekend to complete because of the drying time, but is generally pretty simple to make.













Gear!

  • Corrugated Cardboard
  • Paper Towels
  • Decoupage Glue - Gloss
  • Markers
  • Acrylic Paints



Quest:
Start by cutting your cardboard into a large heart shaped piece. Draw lines to determine where the base of the eyes will be and to divide the mask into four quadrants.

 Cut out eye and mouth shapes to give the mask dimension. Also cut ten spike shapes for around the bottom and horns of the mask. Attach the eye and mouth shapes with glue on the top. Glue the spikes from the bottom side.














Cut paper towels into small pieces. Pour about a 1/4 cup of the Decoupage glue onto a paper plate. Dip the paper towel pieces into the glue and place, slightly overlapping each other onto the mask.

The first layer once dried does not look great. That is why I added a second layer. It also helps to develop the dimension of the layers that were added with the cardboard.

This is what the mask looks like with two layers and completely dry. The contouring comes out much better. From here, it's is about painting with the acrylic paints. Outlining the eyes and other detailing with markers. Add two more layers of Decoupage glue over the top to seal the whole thing.











Ta-da! I hope you enjoyed this craft and make one for your own Zelda den!

Side Quest: Craft Night! Decoupage Canvas Art

While flipping through some old Nintendo Power magazines I got a neat idea. Cut out the pictures that I really like and show them off in my house. Now this is the first one I did and I am sure that there will be others of various sizes in the future. This is a great idea for kids to show off the things that they like to hang in their room. It's easy enough for just about anyone to do it! Enjoy!


Gear!
Canvas - I used 8 x 8 inch
Colored Scrapbook paper
Magazine pictures - cut out
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
Scrapbook embellishments

The Quest!
Cut scrapbook paper into random pieces.

Brush canvas with a thin layer of mod podge.

Lay paper pieces out the way you want them in one layer.

Apply a thin layer of mod podge over this layer and let dry.


Add additional layers if necessary and let dry between layers.








Add embellishments. For this one, I found some scrapbook keys and rhinestones.

Side Quest: Craft Night - Deku Scrub Flower Picture

I have a habit of not throwing flowers out until they are dried and the cats start playing with petals that have fallen to the floor. Though, not necessarily a good habit, it did give me an idea today for a quick and easy project. The colors I had to work with today where orange, white and purple. So I thought "Why not a Deku Scrub?"

The flowers I used where tulips, but any dried flower that retains its colors when dried should work just fine.








Gear:
Dried flower petals
Glue - Craft or white glue is fine
Drawing paper
Scissors
Cup


Quest: 
Start by choosing your flower petals. This will give you your pallet to work with. Next you will want to find your picture. I chose the Deku Scrub from Majora's Mask. An evil looking thing, but a character I have not given enough recognition to.

Next I drew a sketch of the basic outline onto a piece of drawing paper. It's thicker than regular printer paper and will hold the media a little better for you.










Then, I divided the petals into their different colors and placed them in a cup and cut them with a scissors until very small.













Just like using glitter, put the glue where you want the color to be. Drop that color over the whole thing. Wait a few minutes to let it dry and tap the excess off. Touch up with one color before starting another. For this, I did the purple first, then orange and finally white.

I think this turned out really cool and it didn't take much time at all to complete.
