Burning Man :: Welcome Home DIY > COLOURFUL SWING Header 1) Wooden chip plank2) Rope3) Fabric in different colours. When I had the idea in my head it all seemed so difficult. I had too many questions. But when I actually told myself "Ok, let's do it!", it did not appear to be a rocket science at all! Drill two holes, approximately 4 cm from each edge. Hang your swing on the tree and start decorating the ropes by simply tying the fabric strips. And that's it! The swing has been tested by me personally and it's safe! Chilli wants some attention, too! Tags: diy, party decor 8 comments: Monique6/12/2012kaip gražu! Load more... Links to this post Create a Link Newer PostOlder PostHome
How to make a bleach bride t-shirt I have such a fun DIY tutorial to share with you today!!! How to easily make your own bridal party tank tops (or t-shirts… or sweatshirts, or sweatpants…)! This project is so simple that you could literally be done in less than 20 minutes! Pin Clorox Bleach Pen wax paper piece of cardboard your choice of t-shirt or clothing Start by covering a small piece of cardboard with a sheet of wax paper… Place the wax paper wrapped side of the cardboard facing the layer of material that you will be bleaching to protect the rest of the shirt from excess bleach. Using your Clorox bleach pen, carefully write Bride or Bridesmaid or MOH (maid of honor) or MAID or… anything that you would like! Once you are finished with your design, start the timer at 10:00 minutes. This tank and the green tanks only took 10 minutes, but my sweatshirt took 20 minutes – it all depends on the fabric! Carefully remove the cardboard and wash the bleach off the material. Aren’t they just adorable!
iGNANT The Maracanã House by Brazilian Terra e Tuma Arquitetos created this concrete, contemporary city house in São Paulo, Maracanã street. Huge block walls were composed around exterior and interior spaces, with a vibrant access mural, grayish materiality and clear glass surfaces. Entering the house, one staircase leads to the sunken living room and kitchen with green courtyard, while the upper one opens up to intimate spaces. The architects managed to let this clean concrete appearance look cosy, warm and natural, with green plants growing everywhere. The big glass openings set against the solidity of the concrete materiality and canny installed lights enlighten the space in every direction. All images © Terra e Tuma Arquitetos | Via: dezeen
ateacomp | Asociación Argentina de Teatro Comparado How to Make Stepping Stones - with a Cake Pan Posted on May 30, 2012 by Christina You don’t need a fancy schmancy mold to make garden stepping stones; all you need is a non-stick cake pan! And you won’t even ruin the pan! I stumbled on a new – and EASIER way to make mosaic stepping stones; it’s called the indirect method and it involves contact paper. I think these would make awesome favors or gifts for a garden wedding. You will need: Round non-stick cake pan (You could also use a heart-shaped pan)VaselineContact paperOld plates or saucers that you don’t need (I got mine at the thrift store)Glass gemssea glass (optional)concretemarine varnishMosaic Glass Cutter (Optional. Put your safety glasses on. Repeat until you have all the pieces you need. Place your cake pan on your contact paper, and trace around it. Cut out the contact paper circle. Carefully lift the piece of contact paper and view your design. If you are happy with your design, place the design back into the pan with the sticky side up. Let sit for two days. That’s it!
Packing Tape Image Transfers I love image transfers. It’s something I’m always using in my journals but there are so many other fun uses for them. All you need to make a transfer is a photocopy of an image or words and packing tape. You can also use printouts from a laser printer or magazine pages. Inkjets will not work because they are not heat based toner. So take some photos to the copy machine or tear some pages out of your favorite magazine to get started. First, take a strip of packing tape and place it over the images you want to transfer: Then use the back of your scissors or the side of your fingernail to make sure the tape is adhered firmly: Next, dip the tape and paper into a bowl of water to wet the back: Using your fingers, start to rub off the paper from the back of the tape: Like magic….your image is left behind on the tape! I like to use the transfers to wrap special letters before I mail them. It’s like having custom tape: Another idea is to take a small canvas and use the images for artwork: P.S.

Los Murales de LOTO | La Grulla de Hermes Gracias a los muros y las ciudades que los contienen Por: Jué Karollys (Loto) Cuál sería la pregunta más adecuada para hacerle a un artista. Más precisamente, a uno que se dedique a pintar paredes en la calle, y más precisamente, que esa pregunta, sea sólo una… ¿Qué significa para ti el arte? pero si tuviese que responder el artista a ella, elegiría, de su repertorio de convicciones, en lo más profundo de su biblioteca mental, las palabras que siempre dijo su maestro de dibujo: ” el arte está más allá de nosotros, es difícil definirlo, es más honesto vivirlo…”, sí, creo que eso diría el artista. Pero dado que la pregunta no apunta específicamente al oficio de éste artista como tal, creo que la más indicada para éste caso sería: ¿qué significa pintar para ti una pared en la calle?
Baileys Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream Happy March to everyone! I cannot believe it's already March! I feel like I say this continuously throughout the year, but I always mean it.

Los primeros dias de Banksy en NY Hace unos días se anunció que Banksy haría una residencia artística en Nueva York. Después de meses de ausencia, el graffitero inglés regresa con "Better Out Than In" mostrando una obra diaria durante el mes de octubre. Aquí les mostramos las obras más relevantes que hasta el día de hoy se han dado a conocer: Con esta primera pieza, Banksy comenzó su nueva "exposición" en las calles de Manhattan. El problema de ser Banksy y de trabajar en NY, es que nunca serás bien recibido por los graffiteros locales. Así lucía la pieza a unas cuantas horas de darse a conocer. La segunda pieza no estuvo en las calles. Una buena pieza haciendo referencia al amor y todas las heridas que éste puede causar. Pero para Omar, graffitero local, la pieza no estaba completa. En la puerta de una fábrica de Greenpoint, al norte de Brooklyn apareció esto. En un terreno de Lower East Side apareció esto. Después apareció este tierno castor quien derrumbó un poste en East New York.
DIY Pebble Mat Just finished this mat to go with my Bathroom Redo. It has a peculiar providence, I was mooching around the CB2 website, doing a little window shopping and I spotted this fellow for $39.95 Me: 'Hey, I had that idea too!' I just didn't get around to doing it!" My Sweetie: "So you're saying they stole your idea from inside your head?" Me, kinda indignant: "YEAH" Him: "Would you like me to make you a tinfoil hat?" Crazy aside, here's how I made the mat. I used: 1 rubber Welcome mat4 bags of river rockssome contact adhesive All from the Dollar store. I smooshed down the glue then arranged the rocks. The only difficult part for me was to not try and arrange the rocks too much, I didn't want straight lines or uniform colour, but it's hard to let go of the whole symmetry thing. I haven't had any problems with slipperiness... yet. Tagged : bathmat, diy_version, CB2, bathroom, Cheap-
