Arts and Crafts Ideas

Are you arts and crafty? I have always loved making, painting and creating things. I'll share a few of my makes on here along with craft project ideas. I also join in with GISH (The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt) every year so I'll share some of my entries for that too. I love how it always gets me to think outside of the box and especially love making food art!

cute unicorn sewing kit - children's arts and crafts idea
I love these easy to sew craft kits for kids. this adorable unicorn has pre punched holes for easy sewing. it's a fun and simple way for kids to create their very own felt toy. do your children like arty activities like this? #sewingkit #felttoys
good omens Aziraphale & Crowley eating an ice cream sundae - GISH challenge -plasticine/clay models
another quirky and cool GISH (the greatest international scavenger hunt) challenge. this time I had to make two iconic good omens characters - Crowley and Aziraphale eating a hot fudge ice cream sundae. strange but true. I used plasticine to make mine as I love making models out of clay so so much! good omens is an absolutely fantastic book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett! I love it! #bookishlife #booklover #comicfantasy #bookcharacters #plasticineart #gishwes

the hulk! made from vegetables! cool marvel food art! GISH challenge
my favourite GISH (The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt) challenges were always the food art ones. I love creating artwork from fruits, veg, spices, sweets, cereal and more! for this challenge I had to make a portrait of the hulk from vegetables. I used peas, asparagus, beans and cucumber to recreate this iconic comic book superhero. pretty cool right? #gishwes #art #incrediblehulk

GISH floral centerpiece/flower arrangement made from vegetables! beautiful food art/food display
I made this beautiful vegetable flower centrepiece for a GISH challenge (the Greatest international scavenger hunt). the challenge was to make a flower arrangement/table centerpiece for a wedding but out of expired veggies instead of flowers. all the vegetables I used were off/going off so there was no food waste. I was really happy with the result, especially as I'd never trained any vegetables carving before. I think I totally nailed the wedding vibes! I was really happy with this beautiful vegetable display. I used leeks (which makes surprisingly beautiful flowers), courgettes and my beloved potatoes (of course). I did consider adding in carrots and sweet potatoes but I think keeping the white, cream and green colour scheme made it feel more wedding like. #foodart
