DIY: Tic Tac Toe from Pebbles & Fabric scrap

Hi Everybody!

Am sharing a DIY project after a long time now!

Its fun project.

Utility project..

Kids friendly...

Super EASY....

 

Shall we start?

We need few pebbles. These pebbles I picked up from riverside from our last few travel trips. I chose some dark and some light shaded pebbles.

Next we need is a piece of fabric (say15cm x 50cm), just big enough to paint the game and make pouch to store the pebbles.

Two strings about 50cm each ( Well finally I used green colored file tags or shoe lace).

Acrylic or fabric paint (I used white and black) and brush.

Matching thread to sew, scissors and sewing machine.

 

 Next I painted the Tic Tac Toe frame on the fabric.

Painted cross and "O" on pebbles. One can add a little coat of varnish over the pebbles for the extra shine.

A note on where to paint the frame of the game: Cut the fabric in required size. Fold the fabric just as it would look like as a draw string bag. At the folded base of the fabric, say 1cm from mid line paint the Tic Tac Toe frame.

Once the fabric paint is dry, sew your draw string bag.

Its super easy..

Will share a tutorial some day..:)

Put your pebbles in the bag...

And done....

 

Carry your game along with you.

Pour out the pebbles,

Stretch out the bag, and

Just start playing...

  

A very rustic old game made in a rustic old way...

Hope you will also enjoy making it with me....

DIY an evergreen MINI PLANT from Leftovers

Hi Everyone!

The winter is approaching us. The weather has that lovely feel..

Just sitting by my window sill

I did this little craft. Even kids can do this.

 

Had a few artificial flowers. There were some artificial filler attached to them. I separated out the fillers.

 

 Got an empty can's plastic lid, little florist foam and some wire or twigs.

Cut the foam to fit in the lid. Fix the twigs at the ends of the artificial fillers to you desired length ( just proportionate to the lid or vase ).

Arrange the fillers in your new vase.

Can fill up the vase with some white/ color stone chips..

And its done...

Now it sits pretty on a shelf in my home.

Rather simple craft out of waste products..

See You soon!

Drab to FAB: Painted Leather Bag: Season 2

Hi! When I did my first painted leather purse (My last post: Drab to FAB: Painted Leather Bag), I did not know it would be so addictive.

I dug out yet another leather bag..

Ta da...

My old leather bag, as you see was in black and white.

One of my favorite color combination..

But, again the white lost its glamor with time...

The stitching, lining, lock, zipper, all are in excellent condition...

 And, so

Another Drab to FAB project.

As I did in the last bag: Wipe clean the surface of leather to be painted with alcohol.

Then, start by using a red and a black ink pen to draw floral pattern on the bag..

 Here is a close-up of the pattern.

Just free hand..

Just fill up...

 You may appreciate that I highlighted the outlines of stems and leaves with a permanent marker black pen

 Time to color:

Acrylic paint

Use more than one coat of color

Have loads of patience

Wait in between coats of paints.

 I never had any shocking bag.

Always have had safe collection of black, beige, white, tan, navy blue, red,...

So went adventurous this time

Colored the background a bright sky blue.

 My floral print has grown green leaves.

You can see that the marks of the pens are very much visible..

Which actually give details and depth to the painting...

 All flowers painted.

Some pen markings have got covered by layers of acrylic paint..

Don't worry you can redo the markings on top of the paint again...

Here's my bag ready to go out into the world again...

I like it.

Its bright..

Happy...

Very cheerful!

Satisfying craft.

Revived my Good old bag!

Drab to FAB: Painted Leather Bag

Hi!

Had been wanting to do this craft since a long time.

Watched many Internet sources and videos.

Finally did it.

 

This was a favorite bag of mine in white leather. As with other white objects, this bag also lost its luster. But the lining, chain and lock is still in excellent conditions. Just couldn't throw it away.

Wiped  the surface with cotton dipped in alcohol to remove any protective layer over the leather and to prepare the leather for new pigment.

I used acrylic colors.

You need more than two coats of diluted acrylic with water (1:1 ratio). Crush and twist the bag well before each coat, so that the next coat fills in any crack or wrinkle.

BE PATIENT!

Let the paint dry completely between each coat of color.

Once you are satisfied with the color, give final UNdiluted coat of acrylic paint.

Recently I was watching many videos on brush painting art of Rosmaling.

This is my first attempt at Rosemaling.

After many patient hours

My bag is ready!!

Here is my new bag :)

It looks great! I wore it to a party and my friends liked it.

You got to try painting leather...

HIS T-shirt Now MY SKIRT: Easy Refashion

Hi! Summers were ON some time back, and I was just doing some cleaning of the house. Basically trying to get rid of unwanted stuff.

When I noticed a T-shirt of my Hubby, which he had stopped wearing for quite some time. And thanks to inspirations from other blogers and pinterest, came up this project of easy refashion.

 

This was my Hubby's T-shirt.

 

Just cut off the collar with a bit of shoulders.

And next cut the sleeves in straight lines.

Sew up the sides such that the upper part is the same size as my waist.

Neatly fold and stitch the waist hem line.

Lucky ones with slim waistline can put in an elastic in the waist hem line.

 

The skirt is ready to wear..

Oh! Just excuse the cloth pins. I used them to hang the skirt on the hanger while taking the pic.

The skirt is so comfortable. I wear it so often at home.

Perfect summer wear.

Well, I missed on posting a refashion post in Me Made May 2017, as I left for the lovely Tawang trip (see Tawang with me by clicking here).

Here is one.

See you soon again...
