Testors Spray Chalk paint party and photo shoot fun

April 19, 2017 by Stefanie Girard

Are you looking for a fun creative party activity? Why not host a wing painting party with Testors Spray Chalk paint and then get dressed up in cute outfits for a fun photo shoot.

I gathered up some of my favorite kiddos, moms and even a 4 legged friend for a crafty afternoon of temporary spray chalk wing painting and photo fun. If your kiddos are under 13 like ours be sure to have parents along for the fun.

I can’t tell you how much fun they had. They didn’t want to stop!

All you need is some Testors Spray Chalk Paint (for all the painting you see here 2 packages were used)

and a big blank wall. They recommend the spray chalk paint is best for flat/non porous surfaces.

The spray goes on like chalk and it fades to white in about 7 days and washes away with rain. Since we used it on a vertical surface it faded in our SoCal sun in a few days as this wall gets direct sun light in the afternoon and the remaining chalk hosed off easily.

These kids really got creative in a big way. That’s what’s great about working outdoors on surfaces that are big.

Both boys and girls love to spray chalk!

After all the painting was done a quick wardrobe change happened into a variety of tutus and a bit of face painting and the posing began!

The spray chalk will blend as well. You can see how the pink and yellow turned orange in parts of the angel wings. The kids really got a kick out that effect.

He’s such a little ham!

They had so much fun posing in front of all the different angel, dragonfly and butterfly wings.

The fun wasn’t limited to the little ones- even Mom got into the photo fun!

For more inspiration on all the fun things you can do with Testors Spray Chalk pop on over to Spray Chalk Fun or watch this fun video. Then run out to your local Target, Wal-Mart, Menards, Michael’s or Home Depot for some Spray Chalk. See what other people are creating and share your fun with the hashtag #spraychalkfun

Had to get the pupster in a shot!

35 Rolled Magazine Crafts -You’ll Never Throw Away a Magazine Again

rolled magazine crafts title

You know that one drawer? The one stuffed with old magazines you swore you’d read again someday? Yeah, I had one too. Mine was a jumbled pile of home décor issues, a few random cooking magazines, and—don’t judge—some celebrity gossip ones from 2011 (I was emotionally invested, okay?). But here’s the thing… instead of tossing them all into the recycling bin, I discovered a whole new world of DIY that completely changed the way I looked at those glossy pages.

Rolled magazine crafts are the ultimate combo of relaxing, colorful, and oh-so-satisfying. It’s the kind of project that starts with “I’ll just roll a few pages” and ends with you surrounded by a vase, a bowl, three coasters, and plans to make a full-blown wall installation. There’s something magical about taking something destined for the trash and turning it into something genuinely beautiful. It’s like giving your old mags a second life—and honestly, they deserve it.

The best part? These projects are super versatile. You can go small with beads or bobby pins, or go big with wall art, wreaths, or even furniture pieces. (Yes, furniture! There’s a magazine stool in this roundup that blew my mind.) And don’t even get me started on the gift potential—handmade goodies like these make thoughtful, one-of-a-kind presents without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just looking for a mindful weekend project, there’s something incredibly rewarding about rolling paper into art. You’ll be amazed at how meditative the process is, and how quickly you’ll start eyeing every glossy page as potential craft material.

So if you’ve been looking for an excuse to clean out that drawer, this is it. Not only are you decluttering, but you’re also creating stunning pieces that spark conversation and bring a pop of personality to any room. It’s a total win-win.

Personally, I’ve turned some of my oldest, most faded magazine pages into colorful bowls and ornaments—and every time I walk past them, I smile knowing they were rescued from the recycling bin. Crafting with rolled magazines isn’t just fun; it’s a little reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places (even between old perfume ads and articles on how to organize your pantry).

So go ahead—grab those scissors, pour a cup of tea (or a cheeky glass of wine), and start rolling. And hey, if you make something amazing, I’d love to see it! Tag me on social or drop a comment below so we can all ooh and ahh together. Happy crafting, and remember: no magazine left behind.
