Part 1 Of 2- Name With Decorated Tornado Background

Hello Everybody!
Today I am going to show you part 1 of the "Decorated Name With Tornado Background."
This is what we will end up with today.

Items Needed For Part 1-

Permanent Marker, PENCIL (Use a pencil first), 1+ Colored Pencils

In the background you can see that they kind of look like tornados.  I just call them tornados.

First, write your name, business, or what ever you want to write.  It I were you, I would make them in bubble letters.  It's way easier to make the background.
I wrote CraftNizer.  Than, go over the pencil with a permanent marker.

Next color in the letters-

Next, draw a curvy line in the background.

After That, draw dots throughout the line.  I am pointing at a couple.

Watch this video for the next step-

The letters are backwards in this one. : )

Keep on repeating on going over and under.  DO NOT KEEP ON GOING OVER OR UNDER IN ONE SECTION!!!  It will not turn out right.  I learned that the hard way! : )

Pics along the way-

Almost Done!

DONE!!! : )

When you have filled the whole background (I guess you don't HAVE to fill the WHOLE background), Go over all of the lines with a permanent marker.

Pics along the way-

DONE!

That part takes a little longer.

That's all for Part 1.  Check out Part 2.  I'm excited.  You'll have to find out what we are doing!!

Painted Cell Phone Case

Hello Everybody!
So I was with my friends, and her daughter had a phone case that was just plain pink.  She didn't like it plain pink, so she took some glitter NAIL POLISH and painted her cell phone case.  I thought that was sooo cool, I thought I should try that!  I used my daughter's phone and I thought it turned out pretty good!!

Here is the back of the phone-

I just put on regular purple nail polish, than I put on white crackle, than a clear coat.  1 coat of each was good.  Her phone case was blue.  If your phone case is a dark color, you might want to put on more coats of polish.
