Wedding Frame!

There's something about doing it yourself crafts that makes me all giddy inside. Last weekend I went to Michael's, bought a wooden frame, acrylic black paint and some stickers, and made my very own first picture frame!

The materials:
As seen in the below picture,
       Black Acrylic Paint in glossy, blank wooden frame, paint holder, & brushes.

First, I used the Michael's bag as a protective cover. Then, I prepped the frame by wiping down with a cloth (just in case of any wooden particles left over from the maker). Next, I filled the paint palette with the black acrylic paint. I then mixed the paint with the sponge brush and painted the frame from left to right on both sides and all corners of the frames.

 NOTE: Paint the frame while being careful that the acrylic paint does not dry up!

 Ta-DA! The final product, which I hanged on the wall by the entrance of my apartment aka foyer.

                         To a meaningful life & a long lasting L♥VE!

cheers!

Three Weeks & Flowers from Recycled Plastic Bottles

It has been three weeks since my last post! I had sort of writer's block. Saturday, I went to a Flower Making Workshop and I learned how to make flowers out of empty plastic bottles.

You like? The instructions on how to make one are not that lengthy. Below I have provided what is needed for the DIY project.

What you will need:
- an empty soda/water bottle
- acrylic paint 
- scissors
- paint brushes
- metal wires or could use metal hangers

Prep: 
Wash and rinse all water bottles before any usage. Let dry for a couple of hours or use wash cloth. 
Soon I will update with pics of the diy project. Until then you could drop me a message for the instructions on how to make them.

 What do you do with your empty soda/water bottles?

p.s sorry for the lighting in the pics!
