Tayvis one-shots (2)

DIY Craft Night

The sun was setting over Nashville, casting a warm, golden glow through the windows of Taylor's cozy home. Inside, the living room had been transformed into a DIY crafting paradise, with a large table covered in colorful supplies: paints, brushes, glitter, glue, and an array of materials waiting to be turned into creative masterpieces.

Taylor and Travis had decided to spend a quiet evening at home, embracing their artistic sides with a DIY craft night. It was a welcome break from their busy schedules, offering a chance to unwind and enjoy each other's company in a relaxed and fun setting.

Taylor, dressed in a comfy oversized sweater and leggings, looked around the room with excitement. "This is going to be so much fun," she said, turning to Travis, who was sporting a casual T-shirt and jeans. "I can't wait to see what we come up with."

"Me neither," Travis replied, smiling at her enthusiasm. "I haven't done something like this in years. It's a great idea, Tay."

They sat down at the table, surrounded by an assortment of crafting supplies. Taylor had thoughtfully laid out some snacks and drinks, making sure they had everything they needed for a cozy and creative evening.

"So, what should we make first?" Taylor asked, picking up a brush and a small canvas. "I was thinking we could start with some paintings."

"Sounds good to me," Travis said, grabbing his own canvas. "I'm not much of an artist, but I'll give it my best shot."

They began by choosing their paints, selecting a rainbow of colors to work with. Taylor's eyes lit up as she dipped her brush into a vibrant blue and started painting a whimsical scene on her canvas. Travis watched her for a moment, admiring the way she lost herself in her creativity.

"You're really good at this, you know," he said, smiling at her. "I love watching you paint."

Taylor blushed slightly. "Thanks, Travis. I just enjoy it. It's so relaxing."

Travis, determined to keep up, started working on his own painting. He decided to create a simple landscape, with a sunset over rolling hills. As he painted, he couldn't help but steal glances at Taylor, who was completely absorbed in her work.

After a while, Taylor set her brush down and looked over at Travis's painting. "Wow, that's really good!" she exclaimed. "You've got some serious talent, Travis."

Travis chuckled, clearly pleased with her compliment. "Thanks, Tay. I'm just having fun with it."

They continued painting, chatting and laughing as they worked. The room was filled with the soft sounds of their conversation, the occasional clink of paintbrushes, and the comforting presence of each other.

Once they finished their paintings, Taylor suggested they move on to making personalized picture frames. She had brought out plain wooden frames, along with a variety of decorations: stickers, beads, ribbons, and more.

"I thought it'd be cute to make some frames for our favorite photos," Taylor said, picking up a frame and a tube of glitter glue. "We can put them up around the house."

"That's a great idea," Travis agreed, selecting his own frame and some colorful stickers. "I love it."

They set to work decorating their frames, adding personal touches that reflected their unique styles. Taylor's frame quickly became a sparkly masterpiece, with glitter, rhinestones, and little musical notes. Travis opted for a more rustic look, using twine and wooden beads to create a charming, earthy design.

As they worked, they shared stories and memories, their laughter filling the room. It was moments like these that made their relationship so special—simple, everyday activities that brought them closer together.

"Remember that time we went to that little antique shop and found those vintage records?" Taylor asked, carefully placing a rhinestone on her frame.

Travis grinned. "How could I forget? You were like a kid in a candy store. I think we spent hours there."

Taylor laughed. "It was such a great day. We should do that again sometime."

"Definitely," Travis said, his eyes twinkling with affection. "I love exploring new places with you."

They finished their frames and set them aside to dry. Taylor's frame sparkled under the soft light, while Travis's had a warm, rustic charm. They admired each other's work, exchanging compliments and smiles.

"I love how these turned out," Taylor said, holding up her frame. "We should take some new photos to put in them."

Travis nodded. "Good idea. We can have our own little photo shoot."

With their frames complete, they decided to try their hand at making some DIY candles. Taylor had prepared a selection of wax, wicks, and essential oils, ready to be transformed into personalized, aromatic candles.

"I've always wanted to try making candles," Taylor said, pouring melted wax into a mold. "It seems so relaxing."

"It does," Travis agreed, selecting a calming lavender scent for his candle. "And it's something we can enjoy later, too."

They worked together, carefully pouring the wax and adding their chosen scents. The room soon filled with the delightful aromas of lavender, vanilla, and sandalwood. As the candles began to set, they admired their handiwork, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

"These are going to smell amazing," Taylor said, smiling at Travis. "We'll have to light them during our next movie night."

"Absolutely," Travis replied, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "This has been such a great night, Tay. I'm really enjoying this."

"Me too," Taylor said, her eyes shining with happiness. "It's been perfect."

As the evening went on, they continued to explore different crafts, from making personalized keychains to decorating mason jars. Each project was a new adventure, filled with laughter, creativity, and love.

At one point, Taylor found a small, unfinished wooden heart among the supplies. She picked it up and turned to Travis with a smile. "How about we make something together?"

Travis nodded, intrigued. "Sure, what do you have in mind?"

"I thought we could decorate this heart and write a little message on it," Taylor said, handing him the heart. "Something to remind us of tonight."

"I love that idea," Travis said, taking the heart and grabbing some paint. "Let's do it."

They worked together, painting and decorating the heart with intricate designs and little symbols that represented their relationship. Once they were satisfied with the decorations, Taylor picked up a marker and wrote a heartfelt message on the back: "To many more nights of love, laughter, and creativity. Love, Taylor & Travis."

Travis read the message and smiled. "That's perfect, Tay. We'll hang it somewhere special."

With their projects complete, they cleaned up the crafting supplies and admired their creations. The room was filled with the evidence of their creativity and love, from the paintings and picture frames to the candles and the decorated heart.

As they sat on the couch, enjoying a well-deserved break, Taylor leaned against Travis and sighed contentedly. "This has been such a wonderful night. I love doing things like this with you."

"Me too," Travis said, wrapping an arm around her. "It's these little moments that make our relationship so special."

Taylor looked up at him, her eyes filled with love. "I'm so grateful for you, Travis. You make every day brighter."

"I feel the same way, Taylor," Travis replied, leaning in for a kiss. "You're my everything."

They spent the rest of the evening cuddled up on the couch, basking in the warmth of their love and the joy of their shared creativity. As they talked and laughed, they knew that this DIY craft night was just one of many special moments they would share in their life together.

With hearts full of love and the promise of many more nights like this, they drifted off to sleep, holding each other close. The room, filled with the remnants of their creative endeavors, was a testament to their bond and the love they had for each other. And as they dreamed, they knew that their future would be just as bright and beautiful as the night they had just shared.
