10 Symptoms in Dogs that Need Vet Attention
When your dog starts acting strangely or seems a little inexplicably “off,” it’s often impossible to know whether to take a wait-and-see approach, or hit the panic button. This is especially true when the symptoms are characteristic of certain benign conditions as well as life threatening disorders.

Why You Don't Need to Shower With Soap
Repeatedly killing off the good bacteria on our skin may actually harm our immunity.
Most of us think of germs as ‘dirty’—and dangerous. But as you’ve probably heard, you’re crawling with bugs, and these microbes are crucial for digestion, skin health, and immunity. People now know to take it easy on antibiotics and eat lots of fermented foods, but our squeaky-clean lifestyle is still a big problem.
Why? Regular contact with dirt and grime teaches your microbiome how to recognize friendly germs versus foes. Here are some tips for swapping out our super clean lifestyle for one that’s filled with more bugs.
First things first, what’s wrong with soap?
There’s a role for the occasional bar of soap when we’re particularly grubby, but a mild soap made from organic ingredients, rather than anti-bacterial soaps that are often full of harsh chemicals, is definitely the way to go. By scouring ourselves in the shower every day, we are actually stripping our skin of bacteria that keep us acne- and eczema-free. Unless you’ve just finished a Mud Run, the only places that need daily soaping are your armpits and groin. The rest of your body does fine with a rinse—even after a sweaty workout.
Dirt doesn’t cause disease—but repeatedly killing off the good bacteria on our skin may actually harm our immunity. Think about that the next time you swap a little bit of dirt for some body wash.
What is one thing that most people do in terms of cleanliness that is unnecessary?
Harsh hand sanitizers! Unless you’ve been hanging out on an Ebola ward, the vast majority of microbes on your skin and hands are not virulent germs that cause serious infection; they’re harmless bacteria that won’t hurt you.
Even during cold and flu season?
Yes, you should take a bit more precaution when your co-workers are coughing and sneezing non-stop. But you still don’t need anti-bacterial soaps and cleansers; those work against bacteria, and the common cold and flu is caused by a virus. All that’s necessary during cold and flu season is regularly washing hands with all-natural soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. This dislodges viruses and bacteria, so they wash down the drain, whereas antibacterial soaps expose you to antibiotics you don’t need in your life.
What are some other ways we can “live dirty” in our everyday lives?
Rinse with just water in the tub or shower, and skip the antibacterial soaps and shampoos. Also, spending just one day on a farm can better your microbiome. So volunteer at a community garden, or simply sit in the grass at the park. Even little things can do a lot over time. Open a window in your house or car to let some good microbes in. Buy food from the farmer’s market that you know is grown in real soil, rather than produced in a factory. Try to keep in mind that in general, soil-derived microbes are good!
You see, you don't usually need to shower with a soap. But you need a bath towel to dry your body. Come to snapmade.com to get your own custom towel.

The Eldest Children Are Usually Smarter
The youngest child may be given the freedom to do what they want but it is the eldest child who gets the brains.
A study found that first-born in a family tends to be the smartest – and each successive sibling is slightly less bright.
What is more, younger children actually think of themselves as being less intelligent than their big brothers and sisters.
The actual difference is small – with IQ dropping about 1.5 IQ points per sibling.
But it may help explain why eldest children often do so well in life.
The German researchers aren't sure why big brothers and sisters seem to be blessed with brains but say it could be because they benefit from their parents’ undivided attention – at least until a pesky little brother or sister comes along.
It is also possible that the eldest child’s brainpower gets a boost from teaching his or her siblings about the ways of the world.
The Leipzig University researchers analysed the results of three national studies, including one from the UK, involving more than 20,000 people in total.
Data included results of IQ and personality tests. Families with more than four children were excluded because there were too few of them to provide meaningful input.
Analysis showed a clear drop in IQ, as well as in the person’s own perception of their intelligence, with each extra sibling.
However, no differences in personality were found, despite some previous studies claiming birth order affects character traits such as extraversion and reliability.
Researcher Julia Rohrer said the question of whether a person’s birth order affects their character has long fascinated the public and scientists alike.
She said that while she didn’t examine why eldest children tend to be brainier, the reason likely lies in upbringing.
Dr Rohrer said: ‘One theory is that following children “dilute” the resources of their parents.
‘While the firstborn gets full parental attention, at least for some months or years, late-borns will have to share from the beginning.
‘Another possible factor is described by the tutoring hypothesis: A firstborn can “tutor” their younger siblings, explaining to them how the world works and so on.
‘Teaching other people has high cognitive demands – the children need to recall their own knowledge, structure it and think of a good way to explain it to younger siblings, which could provide a boost to intelligence for some firstborns.’
However, eldest children shouldn’t gloat, because they won’t always be the cleverest.
According to Dr Rohrer’s calculations, in a two-child family, the eldest will have the higher IQ six times in ten, a statistic that still gives younger children opportunity to shine.
Finally, biology may also play a role, with younger children more prone to genetic problems because their parents are older when they are conceived.
However, with previous work showing that second-born child is raised as the eldest, after the first-born died in infancy, their intelligence is a par with other first-borns, it is thought that biology is less important than upbringing.

Is this the saddest little bookworm in the world?
It's not unusual for readers to wipe away tears of emotion after finishing a good novel. But look at the picture, this baby who wear a blue 'The snuggle is real' custom t-shirt may just lay claim to being the saddest little bookworm in the world.
Adorable footage has emerged of a young mother, reading her tiny child a story - only for the tot to burst into tears when it comes to an end.
The unnamed mother and baby sit on the floor as she reads out a children's tale called 'I am a Bunny' which appears to captivate the youngster.
The child can only be calmed when his mother reopens the book and starts to read once more saying 'let's read it again'.
But with the last page-turn the baby is in tears once more - almost inconsolable as the story finishes.
As the video pans to the baby's loving mother, she smiles and shrugs her shoulders as though it is not an uncommon occurrence.
The video, which has been widely shared on the internet, then shows four other occasions when the child has had a meltdown when a story ends.
The baby is so cute!!!

Expectant mothers' diet related to baby heart risk
Researchers believe that women who eat healthily before and during pregnancy may cut the risk of their baby developing a heart problem.
In the study, half of the women had babies with heart problems while the other half did not.
When the researchers compared the diets of these two groups they found a healthier maternal diet was associated with a lower chance of congenital heart defects.
Pregnant women in the top 25% of diet quality, had a lower risk of having a baby with certain heart defects - atrial septal defects and Tetralogy of Fallot - than those in the bottom 25%, even after accounting for other factors such as whether the mother took folic acid or was a smoker.
Congenital heart disease is one of the most common types of birth defect, affecting up to nine in every 1,000 babies born in the UK.
Mild defects, such as holes in the heart, often don't need to be treated, as they may improve on their own and may not cause any further problems. But others can be more serious and some, lethal.
In most cases, something has gone wrong in the early development of the foetus. Some heart conditions are due to faulty genes or chromosomes. But often it is unclear why the baby's heart has not developed normally.
This is an interesting study which highlights the importance of diet right from the start of life.
A healthy diet before, during and after pregnancy can have benefits for both mother and child and, as seen here, the whole diet should be taken into consideration, rather than solely focusing on individual nutrients. Eating well isn't a guaranteed way to avoid congenital heart defects, but this will be another factor that will motivate women planning a pregnancy to make healthy choices.

DIY iPhone Cases
I have today a super fun tutorial just for you my dear friends! How to give your phone case a new look!
Materials:
* glitter
* tinsel or streamers
* Mod Podge
* brushes
* paint
* scissors and/or hole punch
* clear iPhone case
Directions:
1. Assemble your glitter components. I used about a tablespoon-sized amount of glitter, tinsel and hand-cut streamers. To make the streamer parallelograms, I took a few strands and cut them long ways and then bunched them in a group and cut at an angle.
2. Working on one phone at a time, coat the inside of the case with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Distribute your glittery elements the way you’d like, dropping them from above or gently placing them with the tip of your finger. Try not to smudge or move the Mod Podge too much or you’ll leave a smear.
3. When your Mod Podge is totally dry, remove any excess glitter elements that didn't full adhere, and either apply another coat and more glitter or move on to your paint.
4. Apply a thin layer of paint and wait for it to fully dry. I did two thin coats on each phone. 5. Once the paint has fully dried, apply a final thin coat of Mod Podge to seal the paint.
Attach this personalized phone case to your phone, and you’re done!

Do you get enough sleep?
We’re all familiar with the old proverb "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise". But since the advent of electricity, the amount of sleep we are getting has been in steady decline.
We spend nearly a third of our lives asleep but how much sleep an individual takes and actually needs can vary greatly.
In many cultures an afternoon nap or siesta is a way of life and the health benefits are impressive with increased stamina, reduced heart disease, improved mental ability and better moods.
Studies have shown that a one hour nap can actually improve our mental alertness by up to 10 hours.
Lots of mammals sleep irregularly throughout the day too, it's just us humans that choose to sleep in large chunks throughout the night.
We're actually pre-programmed to sleep twice a day with our perfect nap zones around 2am and 2pm which explains why we're often tired after lunch, especially after eating carbohydrates which contain tryptophan that can make us drowsy.
Having an extra hour's sleep each night can really make a difference to a person's health? Researches suggest that getting closer to eight hours of sleep a night can make a huge difference to your health in just a few days and potentially be even more beneficial than hitting the gym. Remember, if you're feeling sleepy during the day it's your body's way of telling you that you need more sleep.
Staying up at night does harm to your health. Hang a clock on the wall or wear a custom watch on the hand to remind you the time to sleep.

Sleeping less than 6 Hours a Night is Seriously Bad for Your Health
Multiple studies have shown that a lack of sleep is associated with other problems such as diabetes and heart disease - with the sleep-deprived 12% more likely to die prematurely.
The middle-aged will be targeted by a major publicity drive in the Press and online, aiming to help them live more healthy lifestyles and reduce the risk of serious illness.
Health bosses fear that the age group is often 'neglected' because people focus more on the health problems suffered by children and the elderly.
Along with more traditional lifestyle changes such as giving up smoking and eating healthier, the over-40s will be told to ensure they get enough sleep.
Research has found that failing to get enough sleep can have deadly consequences, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes as well as obesity.
Scientists say that sleep deprivation upsets the balance of key hormones leptin and ghrelin, which regulate the appetite and help us know when we have eaten enough.
The modern lifestyle of staying up late and getting up early is a 'ticking time bomb for our health', according to researchers. One contributing factor is the increasing use of smartphones and tablets before going to bed, which reduces the level of melatonin and makes it harder to get to sleep.
"Stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, taking more exercise, improving diet, reducing stress, improving sleep and checking for common signs and symptoms of disease." By making these seven lifestyle changes, the adults in mid-life will vastly improve chances of a longer, more active and fulfilled life.
So if you want to live longer, get more sleep. (Get the custom pillow case at snapmade.com to help you sleep better.)

"Stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, taking more exercise, improving diet, reducing stress, improving sleep and checking for common signs and symptoms of disease." By making these seven lifestyle changes, the adults in mid-life will vastly improve chances of a longer, more active and fulfilled life.
So if you want to live longer, get more sleep. (Get the custom pillow case at snapmade.com to help you sleep better.)

Hungry Dog Learn to Say "Mama" before a Baby
Today, I watched an funny video on YouTube. It's about the an shepherd dog saying "mama" in a bid to be fed.
In an attempt to get her young son Samuel to speak, the mum tells him to say the word 'mama' while she appears to use the food as an incentive. She continually vocalises the word and addresses her son. But Samuel merely looks around the room looking slightly confused.
Meanwhile the dog Patches is standing alongside Samuel and whines in anticipation of some food and ever so slightly begins articulating the sound being made by its owner.
Then, Samuel's mum scoops up some of the food onto her fork and repeats the process - again addressing young Samuel.
Incredibly Patches then begins mouthing in a more controlled fashion and manages to clearly articulate the word 'mama'.
Rather humorously, the video then concludes with Samuel reaching out his hand to stop Patches from talking - as if annoyed that Patches had spoken first.
Funny, isn't it?
Do you also have such an cute baby and dog? They will make you happy. Wanna give gifts to them? Come to snapmade.com to create the personalized baby bibs and pet tags with the funny pictures.

Make Your Own Wine Stopper Tacks
If you’ve got a pile of wine stopper hidden away, pull them out and make your own wine stopper tacks.
Supplies:
·oak wine stopper
·drill
·glue
·thumbtacks
·hand saw (optional)
Instructions:
1. First decide how you want your stoppers to look. You can drill the holes in any side or end of the stoppers. You can also cut the stoppers down or in half. This is done best with a small hand saw or knife.
2. Choose a drill bit that is close to the size of your thumbtack and start drilling. You only want to drill deep enough for the head of your thumbtack to slide into the stopper. Try comparing the length of the tack, to the length of your bit & see where to stop. Slightly rotating the drill bit in circles will help remove the stopper pieces & increase the hole in size for a better fit, if needed. You might want to practice on a stopper to get a feel for drilling.
3. Place small amount of glue in the hole & then push in thumbtack. Let dry 24 hours. OK, let's it. Personalized wine stopper!

DIY Photo Coasters
Here I want to share a fun and inexpensive DIY photo coasters project with you.
Supplies:
– 4×4 white ceramic tiles
- 4×4 printed photos
– Mod Podge
– Small, 1-inch foam brush
– Self-adhesive felt pads
– Washi tape
Instructions:
Step 1: Apply 1 coat of Mod Podge to front of tile
Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the front of each tile, making sure to spread it all the way to the edges.
Step 2: Place photo on the wet Mod Podge
Place a photo on top of the wet coat of Mod Podge from step 1, and let it dry for about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Apply 3 coats of Mod Podge to back of tile
This part is a little tricky with the washi tape. When you apply your first coat of Mod Podge to the back of the coasters, it may seem like the the tape is starting to unstick from the coaster. Just wait about 5 minutes until the first coat of Mod Podge has started to dry and become tacky, and press the washi tape down with your finger. Wait about 15 minutes in between each coat of Mod Podge.
Step 4: Apply 3 coats of Mod Podge to front of tile
Apply 3 coats of Mod Podge, again waiting about 15 minutes between each coat. Apply each coat as a thin layer, making sure to wrap all the way around to the sides, and smoothing out the front. It’ll look very opaque until it dries, but rest assured that it will dry clear!
Step 5: Stick felt pads to the bottom of each coaster
The felt pads just help to make sure that the coasters don’t scratch your table. Step 6: Let sit for 3 days before using It’s normal for Mod Podge to feel tacky for several days after it dries. If you wait about 3 days, you’ll give the coasters plenty of time to seal completely & make sure no water will seep in.
I love the way these personalized coasters turned out. They are so great!

2. Then place the contrasting fabric (right side up) over the baby bib (right side up), matching the corner of the contrasting fabric to the center bottom of the bib. Pin the contrasting fabric in place and cut along the edge of the blue jean fabric, using the baby bib or pattern for the contrasting fabric.
3. Next use a zig-zag stitch and machine stitched approximately ½ inch all around the bib edge.
4. Sew on Velcro for my closure and add a cute star applique from contrasting fabric.
5. Lastly, snip the entire bib edge close to the zig-zag stitching, also snip the bottom edge of the contrasting fabric. Wash and dry the bib which gives the fraying effect.
These personalized baby bibs are just so cute and wash up so nice making them very functional.

Customize Mother's Day Gift from Snapmade
Everyone has a mother and, unless you're a magical exception, chances are that she put up with you in all your moments of teenage angst and phases of self-discovery.
Whether she's always been supportive of your decisions or once put her foot down against frosted tips or that septum ring, your mom has always had your best interests at heart. It would be a real shame not to show her some thanks (and some love) come Mother's Day.

History of Mother's Day
Origin of Mother's Day goes back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. But the roots of Mother's Day history can also be traced in UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated much before the festival saw the light of the day in US. However, the celebration of the festival as it is seen today is a recent phenomenon and not even a hundred years old. Thanks to the hard work of the pioneering women of their times, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis that the day came into existence. Today the festival of Mothers day is celebrated across 46 countries (though on different dates) and is a hugely popular affair. Millions of people across the globe take the day as an opportunity to honor their mothers, thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant support and well wisher.
Today Mothers Day is celebrated in several countries including US, UK, India, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Mexico, Canada, China, Japan and Belgium. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers and thank them for all their love and support. The day has become hugely popular and in several countries phone lines witness maximum traffic. There is also a tradition of gifting flowers, cards and others gift (such as custom jewelry, mugs, mirrors, etc.) to mothers on the Mothers Day. The festival has become commercialised to a great extent. Florists, card manufacturers and gift sellers see huge business potential in the day and make good money through a rigorous advertising campaign.

When the visitors visit your house, his first sight may be the doormat. So a nice doormat is very important to welcome the visitors. If you think the doormat you buy from the stores is too simple, then you can make a personalized doormat by yourself.
Now let's get started!
Materials:
- A plain doormat
- Masking tape
- Exterior spray paint
- A big letter
- Diet Dr. Pepper
Instructions:
1. Use masking tape to cover up the areas that you don't want painted. If you don’t have the right size masking tape on hand, you could easily use paper strips to create your borders. Just secure them in place with straight pins.
2. Put the letter in the center of your mat and mask off two smaller areas.
3.Give all the exposed areas a good coat of the spray paint. The trick to this step is to spray straight down as much as possible. If you spray at an angle, you risk getting paint under your tape.
4. Let the whole thing dry for about an hour.
5. Peel back your tape.

Easy Craft - DIY Pillowcase
A personalized pillow case is always needed for a pillow if you want to keep your pillow clean and give your bed a new look. And, luckily, the pillow case is also easy to make. Everyone who loves diy can make it by herself.
Supplies:
- fabric
- pillow
- pin
- scissors
Instructions:
1. Washing and ironing your fabric. This allows for any shrinking that may occur and when you go to cut and sew, it’s much easier to do it on smooth rather than wrinkled fabric.
2. Start measuring and cutting. For the width, add 1” to the width of your pillow, and for the length, multiply the length of your pillow by 2 and then add another 6”. For example, if you have a 14” x 14” pillow, you should cut a piece of fabric that was 15” wide, which allows for a .5” seam allowance on either side, and 34” long ([14 x 2] + 6 = 34), which allows for a 1” turn-over on both sides and a total overlap of 4”.
3. Next, on the short sides, turn your edge over .5” and iron. Then, turn it over another .5” and iron. Then, sew the seam along the edge. Do the same thing to the other short side.
4. Once your short sides are hemmed, lay your fabric on the table right side up. Take your pillow form, place it in the middle of your fabric, and fold your fabric over your pillow.
5. Make sure the fabric is lined up on either side and fits snug around the pillow. Then, pin the two flaps of fabric together on either side. At this point, you can slide the pillow out of the fabric. Once your pillow is removed, pin both sides of the fabric together along the sides.
6. Once your sides are pinned, its time to sew! Just sew in a straight line along the edges you have pinned. After you've sewn both sides, turn your pillowcase right side out through the open flap you have in the middle.
And that’s it! All you need to do is to insert the pillow into the case.

DIY Painted Hand Towels
Do you want to give your plain white hand towels a little pop of color or pattern? Embroider them with your designs? That may cost you lots of time. Here is an easy and fun way to custom your own hand towels. That is painting the towels with fabric paint.
All you need:
- Plain white hand towels
- Fabric paint
- A paint brush
The first thing you need to do is to mix colors and come up with your own color palette.
Then I will introduce 3 painted designs to you.
The first one is doing simple triangle pattern around the border.
The second one is using various colors and watercolor splashes of paint. The third one is using half of a lemon as a stamp.When doing this, make sure there isn't too much paint on the lemon. You can apply the paint with a roller, or if you don't have one, stamp it on some scrap paper first to lessen the paint.
Also, there are still quite many painted designs that I can't list them all. And you can paint the towels with your own design.
After finish painting, don't forget to hang the towels and allow them to dry fully. Once the paint is completely dry, them give them a wash before using.

Custom Polo Shirt from Snapmade
What's the origin of the polo shirt?
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, tennis player used to wear long, bulky outfits during their matches known as “tennis whites”. Long sleeve shirts, long pants, ties—a far cry from what the players wear in today's modern game. It wasn't until the mid-1920s that a tennis player Rene Lacoste came up with the ground-breaking alternative seen in today's fashion. Not only did his breakthrough design pave the way for a revolution in the game of tennis, it quickly found its way to the golf and polo greens as well. Lacoste's design is now a part of mainstream culture and can be seen not only in sports, but in common, mainstream fashion.

DIY PET BOWLS for MY DOG
I have a dog whose name is Nancy. She is a part of my family, and I love finding
new ways to show my love and affection. So I decide to make a personalized pet bowl for her. I don't want dog bones – I want something
that fits my style and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb in my home. I decide
on one pattern to create in fun, playful color palettes for the pet bowl.
Supplies:
• small, plain ceramic or glass bowls
• acrylic craft paints
• paper plates
• sponge
• scissors
• pencil
• paper towels
Before I start I make sure to wash and dry the bowls thoroughly to remove any debris. After squirting some paints (neon pink, olive green, and black) on a paper dish I dive right into a grid-like dot pattern. Using a pencil eraser dipped into the paint I freehand a pattern of five by four dots in the olive green. I then repeat the process with the neon pink and black, staggering the grid by skipping a dot-sized width and moving the pattern down one row.
The end result remind me of that pure sugar dot candy of our childhoods! And I'd be lying if I don't admit I kind of want my own bowl now just like this.
Now, my dog Nancy eat its food in this bowl. Though she may not notice what they are eating out of, I'd like to think that I’m WOW-ing them a little with my effort.

DIY Glass Tile Necklace
Want to know how to make a glass tile pendant? They're super easy – you can
do this! Here's a brief tutorial.
First gather your supplies – you'll need:
–a glass tile
–a bail (that's the hook that goes on the back)
–paper or fabric design
–diamond glaze and a small paintbrush
–superglue
–a necklace to hang it on
First take your tile, and trace it onto your paper. Then cut it out slightly inside the lines with an exacto knife or scissors. Hold it up with your tile on top of it to check the size – you don't want any paper sticking out behind the edge.
Next squirt your diamond glaze on the back of the tile – about pea size. Use a small paintbrush to spread it out – enough to coat the back of the tile but not so much that it's going to ooze.
Then while the diamond glaze is still wet set your paper face-down onto it. Rub the paper to get a really good seal. That will prevent bubbles being seen through the glass.
Let dry for 5-10 minutes or longer. Then squirt diamond glaze on the back of the paper and spread it out with a paintbrush to seal in your paper. Let dry several hours. Then using superglue, glue your bails to the back.
Finally use the necklace to hang on the glass tile. Now, it becomes the perfect personalized jewelry that you can put it on.

DIY Reversible Apron!
Today a funny diy reversible apron project will be shared to you. It is easy to make. Now
let's get started!
For this project you will need:
- 2 yards of fabric (1 yard of each color)
- Coordinating thread
- Pins
- Scissors
- Sewing Machine
- Iron
Instructions:
1. If you do not have a pattern to work with, you can grab one of your old aprons and drew out a pattern onto a piece of poster board and cut it out.
2. Once my pattern was cut out, fold on piece of fabric in half and pinned your pattern to it. Be sure to align the folded side of the fabric to the long end of the pattern, that way when you cut it out you have a full apron piece. Repeat this process with the second fabric.
3. Using the scraps of fabric, cut out 2 strips of fabric for the neck ties and another 2 pieces for the back ties. Fold each strip of fabric in half so that the printed sides are facing each other and ironed them flat.
4. Finally get to sewing! Start with sewing the straps along the long end and one short end. Once all of the straps are sewn, turn them right side out and iron them flat again.
5. After the straps are ready, Place the two main pieces of fabric together, good side facing in. Then place the straps in between the main fabric and pin everything into place. Also pin the straps into place so they didn't end up getting sewn somewhere they were not suppose to be.
6. Sew around the entire apron with the exception of the bottom hem so that it can be easily turned right side out.
7. Once sewing is completed, turn the apron right side out and than fold the bottom hem in and sew it shut.
Finished! I think you will be pretty proud of your own custom apron!

Cutest DIY Doormat On the Block
If you want to keep your house clean, then the doormat is always needed. If you have spare time, you can try to make a personalized doormat by yourself. Now let's get started!
Materials:
- Basic doormat
- Spray paint in your choice color
- Marker
- Paper bag
- Scissors
- Tape
- Measuring tape
Instructions:
1. Create a Heart Stencil
Cut your brown paper bag so that it lies flat. Then draw on a half heart. Cut along your line and discard the center.
2. Take Measurements
Take a few simple measurements to make sure your heart stencil falls smack dab in the center of your doormat.Measure the length and width of your mat, and then divide those numbers in half. The center of your heart should fall right in the intersection of those two numbers.
3. Tape Down and Spray Away
Tape down your paper bag. Tap on the outside, and then create pieces of rolled tape to place on the underside of the bag. This helps achieve a more crisp line. Before you start spray painting, it's also a good idea to cover any exposed edges of the doormat with scrap paper. Finally, follow the instructions on your spray paint and go to town.
Wait for the spray paint to dry, remove the paper and place in front of your door. Pretty sweet, isn't it?
