DIY: Wall Art

DIY: Wall Art.

What you will need:

-2 canvas ( I got my canvas's at Hobby Lobby, You can usually find them half off)

-Paper towel or toilet paper rolls

-Colored card stock (I chose Red, Brown and Tan- You can choose whatever matches your decor)

-Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks.

-Branches (I just picked up some twigs outside in my yard, The idea is to make the art piece look like a branch)

Let's get started:

-First you squish down your paper towel rolls to give them the shape of a leaf.

-Then cut the paper towel rolls into pieces, may 1/2-1 inch between each cut.

-Take your cardstock and use your hot glue gun to glue the paper towel roll to the cardstock, leave space in between leaves and  be sure to try and get a thin layer of glue because it will be more noticeable if it's too thick.

- After the glue dries and your leaf is attached to the cardstock. Cut out the shapes that you made.

Get out your canvas and glue your branches to shape them like a branch, then you will glue your "leaves" to your canvas to give a tree like look. Voila!

Strawberries & Cream Oatmeal

Thank You Tamara Doonkeen!

Ingredients-

2 cups of old fashioned oats.

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup of packed light brown sugar.

1 tbsp vanilla extract.

1/2 cup of plain low fat Greek yogurt.

4 cups of low fat milk.

2 cups fresh diced strawberries

Half block of sliced cream cheese

* You can also use a slow cooker liner for easy clean up or use cooking spray in your crock pot. I actually used coconut oil because it was all I had.

Add your oats, sugars, vanilla extract, strawberries, yogurt and milk. Give it a good stir. Then add your sliced cream cheese on top. 

Cover and cook on low for about 2 hours or until oats are tender. I make this a couple of hours before the kiddos wake up, go back to bed and wake up to this yummyness. Give a good stir before serving, mixing the cream cheese around even adding more milk if needed to make this nice and moist! Enjoy.
