Fancy Key-holder

Key-holder

Today I will show you another key holder I made recently.......
I really love making these :)
This one especially is one of my favorites.....
The design is really simple, but the final product turned out very impressive....
Pardon the image quality.....It doesn't really do justice to the real thing :(
However, let me tell you how I made this...... 
I painted a wooden block 4"x 6" in acrylic color- black.
When it dried, I made some squiggly lines for the branches with my favorite:  3D outliner- gold......
Then I made some leaf outlines with the same outliner along the branches......
I finally stuck red teardrop shaped rhinestones inside the leaf outlines......
Thus, my fancy key- holder was ready......
This was sold the very next day :))
Hope you liked it.....
You can see the other 3D key holders I made, in my previous posts, Happy Home Key Holder and Under the Sea key holder
Have Fun and Thanks for visiting :)

DIY Painted Metal Butterfly Wind- chime

Yayyyy......
I am back!!!
I missed blogging so much.....
Anyways, Today I will show you how I turned a cheap wind chime into a fancy one!!
I saw this metal Butterfly wind chime at a dollar store recently, and I really liked it....
Butterflies are one of my favorites :)
I bought it instantly......

However, I was not so happy with the tan and orange colors it had.......
Butterflies are supposed to be colorful and vibrant!!!
So, I decided to revamp it.....
I colored it with acrylic colors- yellow and Violet and acrylic pearl color- blue.....
