The colors of life are enhanced by the hues of the various stages brought on by the challenges. No color would remain appealing on its own, making other shades necessary to boost the mood of the whole picture. Children need to be fed with the best lessons in their formative years to shape themselves into the professional human being. Not everyone can have the same potential to raise their bar with every passing year to achieve greater heights in their career.

Some may only grow as artists, while others may take these lessons to apply in all walks of life. Every child is an artist, but just a few of them grow up to make it a profession. However, one doesn’t have to nurture their creative self to be successful. Also, art isn’t something that works wonders just for the people wishing to pursue it; you will be introduced to more unexplored areas in life as art takes over. Here are some of the benefits of learning the art.

1.      Improves the Child’s Gross and Fine Motor Skills

The improvement of fine and gross motor skills is one of the greatest benefits of art classes, impacting the upcoming generation. Every child will be introduced to a variety of techniques and tools when learning the different types of art, including drawing, painting, and sculpting. While some kids may find it easy, many others would struggle with the use of these tools. Their tiny muscles may not allow them to be dexterous with these objects. Art classes will teach the children how to use a paintbrush or other similar tools, helping their bodies be more flexible. As more physically-demanding forms like sculptures give a hard time to the muscles, they are ideal for kids with certain physical challenges. Every task involved contributes to the overall strength and motor skills of a child.

Fine Motor Skills

2.      Art Helps Make Decisions

It is not just creativity that develops during the art classes; a wider range of skills is also being germinated during the process. The thoughts children have when creating something out of nothing can help them grow as a person. As they get older, their personality will change, but it wouldn’t affect them badly because of the skills they develop with time. A simple lesson art will teach them the consequences of their actions and bad decisions. Art is both innovative and solution-driven, meaning the children can become equally creative and decisive through these sessions. Kids learn to be more strategic as they explore new types of art.

Art Helps Make Decisions

3.      Art Teaches Perseverance

Children, when getting involved in the process of creating art, will develop better focus. They will be able to manage their expectations and carry ideas to honing the skills the right way, leading to a developed sense of belonging to the world of art. All of this will undoubtedly help the children persevere harder for their dreams.

Recycled vintage finds make a perfect combination with new and innovative ideas that can turn any ordinary piece of art or decorative item into something out of the ordinary. When it comes to decorating and re-designing homes, it is quite difficult to find the best and unique ideas for decoration as most of the ideas are already outdated. However, when you choose recycled pieces instead of brand-new items, you will get to find a lot of interesting ideas that can help you come up with some of the best decorations. Some of the best ideas by Everything Golden for recycled vintage items are as follows:

Home Decor Tips

Most people do not give much importance to the fact that the household stuffs that are usually taken for recycling can also be used in other places to create amazing changes and make a big difference in your homes. It is one of the best ideas when it comes to decorating your homes and giving it a different look. Most of the time, people just throw away their old junk without giving much thought to it. However, if you take proper care of these recycled pieces, you can definitely give your house a new life by making it look beautiful. If you do not have the time to make these decorations on your own, you can hire the services of an expert who would surely love to help you find the best decorations.

Recycled Items for Rent

Yes, you heard it right. There are many rental shops that now specialize in providing furniture pieces that are made of recycled material, thus helping you save money and help the environment at the same time. You can also rent simple and inexpensive fixtures and accessories like pillows, sofas, rugs, paintings, etc. from these shops, and reuse them in your own homes instead of purchasing them new. As soon as the products are over, you just have to pack them and drop them at your nearest distribution center, where you can sell them for a good price.

Interior Wall Hanging Design Elements

You can change the look of your home or office space quickly, without spending thousands of dollars, by replacing neglected or outdated interior design elements with new wall hanging options. Homeowners may enjoy such a room transformation without sacrificing comfort, since wall hanging decorating ideas are adaptable to any area. Many modern decorating themes make use of this feature and can be easily incorporated into almost any room. Here are some easy decorating ideas by Everything Golden for your next office overhaul:

Go for large-scale Art Smaller works of art that are properly displayed on a wall will instantly add visual interest and establish the mood in a small room. Try a colorful photograph in an opulent environment or add contrasting color with an equally striking abstract piece. Create a showcase wall display with a series of carefully selected photographs or other wall art, or add other wall hangings and ephemera to the room. If you’re trying to create a transitional space, make use of bold patterns, as well.

Larger wall hang mirrors are a versatile addition to almost any room. Hang mirrors in rooms featuring dark colors or fabrics; larger mirrors, particularly those that are framed, can make a room feel taller and larger. For small spaces, consider hanging mirrors on the wall that have unique frames. Similarly, for a child’s room, choose bright frame hang mirrors to give the room a cheerful air.

Three-Dimensional Wall Decor Wall decoration ideas incorporate three-dimensional elements, such as texture and color. Create works of art using your computer, or enlist the aid of a professional to design wall decoration ideas for your living room or office. Select shapes from your computer, such as rectangles, ovals, and squares. Try to incorporate different textures, such as smooth and rough surfaces, to create a look reminiscent of crumbled stone. For an extra special touch, use glitter to create a three-dimensional effect on a wall.

DIY Wall Decor Ideas Interior decorating ideas can also take the form of DIY wall decor, which utilizes items found at home and online stores. Coroplast, corncobs, and stucco are just a few options for DIY wall decoration. Coroplast can be used to build shelves or to line a walk-in closet, for example. Coronnas made of stained glass are a popular DIY project for homeowners. Stained glass is easily created, although you may need a special type of glass cutting equipment to achieve the elaborate designs you see in home decorating magazines and online.

Butterfly Wall Art Butterflies is three-dimensional and colorful, making them excellent choices for DIY wall hanging projects. Consider a butterfly wall art project for a dramatic effect in an entryway or bedroom. Transform bland walls with standard color walls into an inviting space with butterfly wall art. Project a living room or kitchen by hanging three-dimensional butterflies from clothes lines or the backs of appliances.

It is designed for newbie and experienced quilters that can make their own headbands or bands for their babies with ease and comfort. They offer a wide variety of options for every kind of need and style.

How to Make Your Own DIY Baby Leggings: Step by Step Instructions for Creating Great-Looking, Soft Leggings Using Knitted Fabric and Inkjet Ink for Inkless Printing on Fabric, and Felt Ink on Pdf and Cardboard. Easy DIY Baby Leggings Guide and Video Tutorials For Different Kinds of Leggings. Free Knit Fabric and Inkjet Ink Tips and Tricks for Making Your Own. 4-Color Ways to Colorize Your DIY Baby Leggings.

This is how to sew them with my baby leggings patterns. First, you need to gather your materials. You will need: A pair of long socks, a crochet hook or pin, some double-sided tape, and a little bit of your favorite color yarn. The reason why you need to gather your material is because you will not want to use any other material or colors. So, it will be easier for you to create the right design on your own.

Now that you have gathered your materials, all you have to do is to get a simple instruction on how to do some stitches. What you can do now is to search the internet for some free sewing patterns that you can follow. Once you find one, check if the picture on the web page is of the same size as your sock. If yes, then go ahead and download the picture for your sewing patterns.

Once you have downloaded the picture of your chosen pattern, check out the instructions. Some of them are divided into sections. Follow each section carefully. If you think that the instructions are too difficult to understand, better to just stop at the halfway mark of the pattern. Instead of wasting your time, it would be better to start sewing immediately once you finish reading the instructions.

Then, you need to attach your fabric and the leather cuff to your chosen pattern. You need to cut your strap with the double needle. Use a marker to draw the outline of your pattern on your fabric. Then, sew the double needle together and use your sewing machine to stitch the edges of your leggings.

Hand Printed Napkin Guide

If you want to preserve food and other dishes for future use, then a Hand Printed Napkin Guide by Everything Golden is a must have. The guide gives step by step instructions, which can be followed by the novice. It helps in proper handling of napkins. It will also save your time and money, by avoiding repeated mistakes, which can be made by using old napkins. It’s the best solution for people who are on a tight budget, as well as people who love using new things, such as the new ones.

Hand printed or acorn block printing, by its very name, is a guide for people to know how to handle their new found treasure. These napkins are cleaned in cold water and then washed with a detergent solution, and dried flat. Do not iron. Let dry flat before ironing if needed. If any blemishes are found, let them dry completely before using. Iron the napkins after they have been cleaned and dried.

The guide shows that the hand printed napkins should be washed only in cold water. It is suggested to soak for about five minutes. This ensures that all stain as well as dirt is removed from the napkins. Use a soft brush to brush off the excess water and then set the napkins to dry in an area where there is some air flow. The guide further advises that the napkins should not be soaked for longer than twenty minutes.

In addition to this, the guide clearly lays out the guidelines to be followed while cutting the design and then printing it on the napkin. The steps are clearly divided in different groups, such as the top and bottom border, center, and inside page. The instructions on how to handle borders are also discussed in detail. For printing on the inner page, first of all the border should be sized to fit the width of the paper. Once the size has been finalized, the border can be lined up. If not, a new border can be traced on the paper.

After all the steps for cutting, printing and lining up have been completed, the hand printed napkins can be cleaned in a mild detergent. The guide further emphasizes on not to dry the napkins completely. Drying the napkins leaves them brittle and can break easily. The final step in cleaning hand printed napkins is to fold them back neatly into the original square shape and keep them in zippered covers. These are the general methods that could be used by an amateur in order to create their own custom hand printed napkins.

However, if one has a skill in designing and creating these napkins, it would be easier to do so. There are lots of websites on the internet that offer tutorials on how to create your own hand printed napkins. One can even get a template that will help one make a great presentation. In addition to that, other than websites, there are also good books available that offer practical tips and guidelines on how to make hand-printed napkins. They are very useful and practical!

Hot Pads Galore

There is a new trend in the home improvement industry and it is none other than the DIY hot pads. Many people are starting to use them because they are so easy to build, not requiring any special tools or supplies. The hot pad is also known as a bio-breathing apparatus and the idea is that you can get all the oxygen you need for your brain to function at an optimal level. There are many ideas for making your own but here at Everything Golden we are going to focus on a very simple one that can be done with just a few materials and some hot pad paper.

The idea is to get tutorial videos on how to do this and how to find the best products to make your own DIY hot pads. I decided that the best way to learn how to do this was to go on the Internet and look for no-sew-fried egg oven mitts. I knew that these were made of quality materials and I wanted to be sure that I was getting my money’s worth. My online research turned up several places that selling these types of products so I set out to find the ones that I would be interested in buying. I ended up purchasing four of them.

After I had purchased my no-sew fried egg oven mitts, I set out to do some more research on how to get tutorial videos on how to do the same thing. There are several sites on the Internet that sell DIY instructional guides, but they don’t give very good information. I decided to give one of the videos that I found a try because the price was reasonable and I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot. I ended up finding some really great ideas on how to use my new DIY hot pads. I was amazed at all the things that I could do once I started using the pads.
