What To Do When You’re Bored — 7 Ideas

**Making Beautiful Scrapbook Paper**

To create a beautiful scrapbook paper, you can make a butterfly pattern by mixing yellow acrylic paint with water and sprinkling it all over the paper. Repeat this process with blue gouache to achieve a stunning background for your card making or scrapbooking projects. The key to getting rid of excess water is to dry it with a hair dryer or a heat gun. This marvelous technique will give you a unique and eye-catching design that's perfect for adding some personality to your cards.

**Creating Unique Choker Charms**

One way to get rid of apathy is by making a new decoration to match your outfit. Let's make choker charms using three different methods, each with its own unique flair. The finishing coat will be the same - embossing powder melted into glaze. We've used this art technique in our previous video on fidget spinner charm-making. This time, we'll add some more butterflies to our design by using a scrapbook stamp. You can buy these stamps in handmade supply stores and attach them to an acrylic block before pressing them against a color ink pad.

**Stamping the Butterfly**

Once you've stamped your butterfly, cut it out carefully to avoid smudging the image. Ink the butterfly with clear embossing ink, which will help preserve the design. Then, sprinkle clear powder over the image and shake off any excess heat from the powder with a heat gun or a powerful hair dryer. The result is a beautiful butterfly that looks like it's made of plastic. You can use this technique to create different shapes and designs for your choker charms.

**Card Making**

To add some color to our design, we'll make flower-shaped choker charms from cardboard. Tracing a curved frame on a piece of floral-patterned cardboard will help you create the shape of your charm. Cut out the shape carefully, making sure it's smooth and even. Next, we'll apply glue to the entire surface of the charm and sprinkle with glitter or another material of your choice. To give our charm a glossy finish, we'll use clear glaze.

**Glazing for a Shiny Finish**

To achieve a shiny finish on your choker charms, you can use a variety of techniques. One way is to use hot glue and then sprinkle it with glitter while the glue is still wet. This will create a beautiful, sparkly effect that's perfect for adding some glamour to your outfit. Another option is to paint a design onto your charm using a colored marker or brush. You can also experiment with different materials and techniques to find what works best for you.

**Color Therapy: Experimenting with Colors**

If you're feeling stuck or bored, try experimenting with color therapy by soaking a piece of paper in water and then painting it with different colors. Holding the paper at an angle will create interesting patterns and effects as the paint flows out. This technique is perfect for creating unique designs without needing any special equipment.

**Creating Colorful Balloons**

To make your own colorful balloons, try dipping a marker into blue ink and stamping it onto a piece of paper. The result is a beautiful pattern that resembles dozens of multicolored balloons flying through the air. This technique is perfect for adding some fun and whimsy to your designs.

**Making Funny Mustache Earphone Holders**

If you're feeling bored, try making a funny mustache earphone holder instead. To start, trace out the shape of a mustache onto thick paper or cardboard, then cut it out carefully. Next, attach three identical parts together using stationery glue to create a complete mustache design. Smooth over any edges with a nail file and mark some cable holes where you'll attach your earphones.

**Adding Personality to Your Earphones**

To add personality to your earphones, try making your own holder from scratch. Cut out the shape of a mustache from cardboard or paper and cover it in clear glaze to give it a glossy finish. Once dry, wrap your earphones around the holder to create a unique and stylish accessory. You can also use this technique to make gifts for friends who love music.

**Using Crumpled Paper**

Don't throw away crumpled paper - you can actually turn it into something beautiful! Try painting over the paper with different colors and textures, then smoothing out any wrinkles to reveal a hidden design beneath. This technique is perfect for creating unique and eye-catching designs without needing much equipment or expertise.
