Saturday 10:00 AM PST 3 hour Quarantine Craft-Along

Hello!!

So I know many including myself are spending a lot of time in the house lately and I thought a way to give you something fun to look forward to, would be to host a little livestream craft along! :D 


The project:
I'm going to make a silly spooky piece of art to hang up on your wall to add a little year round creepiness :D I'll provide an outline by Friday which you can print at home to paint on directly (in case drawing isn't your forte) plus also show a couple fun tricks for making an image look old and strange! 


Things you'll need...
Acrylic paints in black & white as well as basic primary colors
Brushes
Paper
Elmers glue or modge podge
cardboard or project board
A random picture frame you may have laying around the house... the older the better


This will count as the livestream for March, but you will still be seeing TWO all new episodes later this month (which I'm right in the middle of filming as we speak) In addition; I will also be announcing the winner of yesterdays contest in this stream :D

Stay safe and I'll see you Saturday :D

-Christine

Lily

My two girls and I are so excited!! ❤️

You should be able to jump from the video in Patreon to YouTube. That's where the chat will be.

Mina Murray

Any craft involving cardboard would be awesome! I'd like to make use of these cardboard boxes from all the packages delivered.

Julie Knowles

Dip, I wasn't able to get supplies. Just have to do it after I guess

STEPHANIE HORN

I'm very glad to be doing this! It gives me something to look forward to on the long weekend trapped at home

Alexia Regner

Ooooo goody! That will cheer up isolation... That will be day 5 of staying in, I know I have everything part from a frame hmmmm, hmmmm.... I may have to wangle one out if spare scrap wood in the shed haha 😂 what time will it be in the UK? 💕

Amy Watler-Thomas

Adrienne Wilson

Catherine Brennan

Thank you Christine ✨

Courtney McCanlis

Be well. ☺

Beci Johnson

Thank you! I hope so! 😊

Lily

Phones may make more of a delay when you're watching a livestream so computers might be a little better. If your computer is connected to your modem by an Ethernet cord, livestreams can run without almost no delay or problems. You could test them a bit, it should be fine though!

Erin Solomon

Can’t wait !!! 😬😍

Victoria Gates

What size frame? SO EXCITED!

Annie Kendig

I used to work at Michaels and when customers would ask were the "Mod(ge) Podge" was, I would say "Oh, the Mod Podge is right this way!" in the hopes that they would pick up on it how I was pronouncing it. I thought I'd escaped those days but here comes Christine to give me flashbacks! Hahaha! -- Regardless, I'm looking forward to this :) Thank you!

Aaron

Excited to be here! Thank You Christine for all you do!

Donna Jo Taylor

Lily you should still be able to comment using your phone...😊

Beci Johnson

Yaaay! This is the first livestream I’ll be able to join in with and I’m so excited! Hope I can get some paints before then but if not I’ll just be happy to watch along. Thank you so much for being here for us in this scary time. 🖤 Fellow Patrons - what is the best way to watch the livestream? I usually watch them after the fact as I’m in the UK and usually just watch them on my phone in the Patreon app (not great). Is it best to watch on a computer in order to join in? Will that allow me to ask questions etc?

Lily

Thanks for this! Can't wait! :D

Naama
