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
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.

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-
How to fold an adorable towel bunny while you wait for your meal One of the greatest things about going out to a restaurant in Japan is the oshibori, hot or cold towels given to patrons to clean their hands before a meal. We don’t know why more countries haven’t adopted this practice; there’s nothing better than being greeted by a soothing oshibori before a delicious meal. But once you’ve wiped your hands off (…and face for some people), that mini towel just sits around at the table looking like a soggy rag. How to make a towel bunny 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. So why not give it a try at home or the next time you’re out at a restaurant in Japan. Photos: RocketNews24 [ Read in Japanese ] Like this: Like Loading... Wall Decor: wooden LOVE sign Finally…….it’s baby Chloe’s turn (who’s not really a baby anymore…{sigh}) to have a little color added to her beige walls. We’re “professional” renters it seems, so we always have to work around the color of walls that we’re given. I saw this really cute wall hanging online (and pinned it, of course) but realized that not only was the price too high ($200 bucks? really?!?!) So I made one for her room. I used some bead board from the hardware store and some large wooden letters. You could make this any size, really…….but I love how big this one turned out (30 x 32 inches). Nice and solid and adorable. And I also love showing those over-priced items who’s boss! Would you like to see how I made mine? You may already understand how this is put together……..but here’s my process: First, I purchased some 12 inch tall letters at Hobby Lobby. Then, I purchased a sheet of bead board at Lowe’s. After the letters and bead board both dried, I hot glued the letters down. And that’s it. Ready to be hung.
