DIY Instant Wall Art- 2

Hello and welcome to view my Instant Wall Art-2....

I call it so because a few days back, I uploaded a post on Instant Wall art- Shoebox Lid Upcycling.....You can see the post by clicking here.

I made this wall art in a similar fashion using a shoe box lid and a scrapbook paper.

Instant Wall Art- Shoe box Lid Upcycling

This is the shoe box Lid I used for this wall art....

Shoe box Lid

This wall art is little different by accident!!! Funny Story :)....

Let me tell you.....

The scrapbook paper comes in a specific size and it fit my earlier shoebox lid perfectly....

However, this lid belonged to my beloved hubby's shoebox......it was a huge box!!!

It had to be....These were the shoes!!!!

So imagine my despair when the paper kept falling short from all sides......

After racking my brains for quite some time, I still couldn't make it fit.....I thought of using two pieces of scrapbook paper, but I wasn't feeling very happy about the idea...... But, I was not ready to give up.....

And then, out of nowhere an idea struck!!!

I decided to give the frame a boxed look.....( a box for a box....lol)......

I cut the paper in a way that it fit on the box, leaving an uniform border all around.....

Scrapbooking Paper

Then I painted the border with black color.......

See how it looks here......

When the color dried completely, I glued the paper on to the box lid........

It turned out like this!!!

Here's how it looks on the wall :)

The black border gives it a look of certain depth, which is what I like about this wall art....

The beauty of this wall art is in its uniform design.....which gives me the flexibility to hang it any way I like.....It looks good horizontally, and equally good vertically!!! Ain't that awesome???It is, right???

I used scrapbook paper here, but you can use any gift wrapping paper with a uniform design too!!!
Hope you liked this......

DIY Rose Branches

Roses are a crafters favorite!!!!

And I am no exception to that....

I made this Rose Branch Decorative Piece at a very low price :)

Let me tell you how.....

Rose Branches

I collected some branches that fell from a tree outside my house.....

The photo shows only two but there were some more....

Branches

I chose the best of the branches and got out my ammunition.....a spray can!!

I spray painted the branches gold.......ohh I love shiny, blingy stuff!!!

I loved the way they turned out :)

Gold Painted branches

When the branches were drying, I made some paper roses of different sizes....

Here they are!!!

Paper Roses

You can use ready artificial / silk flowers like these too....

I stuck the roses randomly on the branches with a hot glue gun....

Then, I took a glass vase and filled it with glass fillers for the base.....

Finally, I arranged the branches together in the vase....

This is how the final product looks....

It gives a very chic look to the house at a very minimal cost....

Tote Painting

Tote Painting

Hi.....
This is a tote hand-painted by me, for a custom order by a client......
She wanted me to paint a specific design that she downloaded from the internet
 and I did paint that, but with a lot of tweaking to get the desired result......
I don't like copying anyone's design, and unless I do something with my own unique
touch, it doesn't make me happy.....
Anyway, I used a white polypropylene tote as the base and painted it with Fabric color- Black......
You must have seen my earlier post on " One- Stroke Painting on Totes".....
You can see it here
There, I had used a different painting technique and lots of colors......
Here, it was just free-hand......
The black and white contrast looks awesome on the bag......
My client was so delighted with the final outcome......
And that... made me happy too :))
Hope you liked it!!!!
