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.

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.

About Us!
The Legend of Zelda is by far my favorite video game. You could say that I am obsessed. Even hearing music from the game (even if I am the one humming it) makes me want to go home and play. I also enjoy cooking but was diagnosed with Celiac in 2014. This blog has become a great way for me to try new things with my new eating habits along with sharing my love for the Legend of Zelda.
I hope you enjoy the blog and even try making some of my creations for you family and friends. Welcome to the Zelda Gourmet!! Enjoy!
BTW ... Sad as it may seem - I don't own the Legend of Zelda :(
