How to Get Creative

November 7, 2011 on 7:46 am | In Uncategorized | No Comments

So often I hear people say, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” Are you one of those people? Would you like to get inspired to create something?  Here’s what I do to get inspired with diaper cakes. You can use the process with just about any creative endeavor.

1. Decide upon a theme. It’s rather like deciding upon a topic for an article, book or magazine. What is your focus? It can be seasonal. It can be decorative and focused on colors, shapes and textures. It can be babies, animals, cars, characters, or foods. It can be an event. It can be anything you want it to be!!  If you need an extra mental push, Google your theme and choose for the results to be shown in images.
2. Gather your materials and begin. You’ll have a general idea of how you want the completed project to look. But, once you’ve begun, you’ll find that something doesn’t look quite the way you’d like and you’ll change it. That’s being creative, my friend! You might decide to discard a part or change its color or texture. Or, you might need to add something more.
3. Evaluate the completed project. Do you need to make further changes? Remember, this is your project and; therefore, it does not have to look like anything you’ve ever seen before. Don’t compare it against what others have done. Judge it solely on what you like.  You are an individual, not a copy of anyone else. Let your project reflect that. It’s called personal style!

Here are some recent inspirations of my own.
