DIY: Multi-purpose container/holder

Hello there,

It's me again with a super easy DIY. This DIY is all about getting your stationaries in place or shall I say a decorative stand for your candles or even better what if it serves as your cosmetic brush holder. Well, well, well....for me it's a multi purpose stand, holder or whatever you want to name it. Currently, I am using it to place my jumbo candle that was my birthday gift. Here's a pic for you guys!


And since you have had a look at the picture, any guesses what it is made of ?? Uhhh...

Ahaaa..looks like someone got it right! Yeah baby, it's that "tin container" which you have just emptied after eating your nuts.

So quickly, here what you need for this easy-peasy DIY Multi-purpose holder.



1) A tin container (any size will do)
2) A gift wrapping paper
3) A Pair of scissors
4) Glue stick
5) Some ribbons for decoration

HOW TO:

1) Measure the length of the tin container and cut the wrapping paper accordingly

2) Glue the wrapping paper on the tin container. Make sure that the edges are clean.


3) Now decorate the container with ribbons as you may want. I chose to attach 4 bow-knots followed by wrapping a pink ribbon just in the centre of the container.



And tadaaa.... our beautiful decorative container is ready. Store you pencils, pens, brushes or like me give your candles a beautiful home.

And what good about this DIY is that even you kiddos can make these and plenty of them!



Now it's time to say goodnight and I shall see you with some other interesting post soon.

Till then..HAVE FUN & KEEP SMILING :-)

DIY: Easy Wall Decor

Hey you beautiful people out there,

Hope you all are doing great! I am also doing great and busy in decorating four walls of my new abode. And while thinking of new ideas which will not be pricey at all, I came up with this very easy DIY using a couple of beautiful greeting cards that were sent to our family on some occasions. 


This way we'll be able to cherish beautiful memories and would be able to do true justice to feelings of relatives and well wishers. And really, it turned out to be really fun idea.

SO here's my quick guide to make a simple yet attractive wall poster/frame. 

You'll require the following items:

  • Cardboard
  • Wrapping paper
  • Greeting cards (5-6)
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick/fevicol

HOW TO MAKE:

  1. First punch in the holes on the back of the cardboard and stuck in a decorative thread or lace through which you may want to hang on your frame.
  2. Then cover the cardboard with wrapping paper. This is just to make a background a more pretty.
  3. Place the greeting cards to make a pattern. It's perfectly OK if the cards doesn't fit the cardboard.
  4. For this pattern, I have glued the cards only half-way on the board to make an unique uneven pattern.
  5. Satisfied with the pattern, Glue your cards on to the wrapped cardboard. Make sure to glue the folds of the cards (in case of greeting cards)
  6. Place a heavy flat object on the back side of the frame and leave it to dry for minimum of 30 minutes.
Hurray! Your wall decor frame is ready and is looking awesome. You may increase the length or width of the frame.
