Minecraft Creeper T-shirt

We are coming up on the 100th day of school for Brayden, and they asked him to decorate a t-shirt with 100 things on it. Last year we did legos for him and googly eyes for his brother. This year, I was bored and wanted something to do, so I took this project over! I had a great idea! I would "stencil" some creepers on it for him! I googled 100th day of school tshirts, and saw that people put "100 days smarter" on them. I thought that was cute and used it! 

It looked kind of plain after that so I decided to add some of the creepers to the front.

Some tools of the trade! A pic and some tweezers! I put the other 80 creepers on the back....

This picture kinda shows you how I did it. I cut the design out with my personal cutter, then laid it on the shirt where I wanted it. I used a sponge brush and some Acrylic paint and just blotted the paint on. NO STROKES. You don't want the vinyl to peel up. And since this was my first try at this, and it will only be worn for a day, I wasn't to upset with the few mistakes I made.(he didn't seem to notice them anyhow!)



I hope you enjoyed this and I hope this inspires you to get up and be creative!

VEGAN No Bake Cookies

Growing up my mom would make the best No Bake Cookies! I remember her making them every year around my birthday! I would come home from school to them cooling off on the counter! BEST DAY EVER!!!!

Today I decided to try to make them VEGAN style!


Vegan No Bake Cookies

1 3/4 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
4 TBSP Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
3 cups Quick Oats

In a medium sauce pan, combine sugar, coconut oil, coconut  milk and cocoa powder.

Bring to a boil and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. 

Remove from heat, add vanilla, peanut butter and quick oats. 


Drop by spoonfuls onto wax or parchment paper. Let cool until hardened. 
You can even put them in the fridge to cool off faster! Store them in an airtight container! Don't worry, they won't last long enough to go bad! I hope you all enjoy them and let me know what you think!
