Wooden Butterfly Bookmarks

Encourage reading AND crafting by making custom Wooden Butterfly Bookmarks using Ikonart!

I love making bookmarks and think they are a fun way to encourage kids (and adults) to keep reading. There are so many ways to customize blank wood bookmarks, but one of my favorites is to wood burn a creative design on the front using my Ikonart custom stencil kit!

DIY "Emotional Support Candy" Jar

Treat yourself to a custom "Emotional Support Candy" Jar made with Ikonart!

I don't know about you, but once in a while, something sweet just seems to help after an emotional day.

You could use vinyl, but a a custom stencil made with the Ikonart kit doesn't require any weeding and is SO easy!

DIY Coloring Book Canvas

Display a hand-painted work of art with this clever DIY Coloring Book Canvas trick!

For me, painting is be a fun and relaxing hobby. However, I have a lot of friends who disagree because they say that they're not "artsy-fartsy". I was trying to think of how to help my artistically-challenged friends (and even kids) to feel confident about creating art, and the idea of a coloring book on canvas came to mind. This project was made using a simple canvas panel and a custom stencil (thanks to my Ikonart kit). I think it is such a fantastic way to create your own art, or you could transfer the design to multiple canvases that kids of ALL ages can paint at parties. I've been so excited to share this project with you, and hope you feel inspired to try it out for yourself.
