Learn, Create and Share Your DIY Craft Ideas

No matter what your skill level is, Do-It-Yourself projects and crafts are always easy to pull off and fun to make. DIY not just lets you create your own stuff but also develop social networking and meet new people and of course you can develop, customize, and reinvent many things. They make great gifts too. So let’s get started!! 

 
You require: Paper clips, fancy buttons, and hot glue, felt

Instructions: All you have to do is hot glue your paper clip to the back of your button and then cut a small piece of felt to go on top (curve area). The felt will keep the glue sealed in and leave a smooth finish. It’s done!! There are so many fun buttons you can use to get creative. These would make great gifts too.


Gather your materials: Piece of driftwood or branch, masking tape, paint and paint brushes, picture hangers, screw in hooks, hammer, and pliers.

Instructions: Start with a clean, dry wood and use tape to mask off the paint stripes. Make sure to flatten the edges of the tape thoroughly so that no paint seeps underneath. Paint your first stripes and let them dry. Carefully remove the tape. Repeat taping and painting with different colors.

Find the side of the wood which is most flat, in order to lie against a wall. On the side, hammer in one or two pictures hangers, depending on the length of the hanger and of the objects that you would like to hang on it.

Last step! Decide where you have to place your hooks and screw them into the wood, use pliers if necessary. Now put it on your wall and hang your favorite stuff on it! Use it for jewelry or keys or spoons.

 
You need: Ribbons (2 different colors), scissors 

Instructions: Cut two generous amount of each color. Fold each cut of ribbon in half to find the center. Take center of the first ribbon you would like to work with and grab your headphones and make your knot. Keep knotting until you finish, if you want to change the color you can either count the number of knots or eyeball the length of stitches. When you add a color make the knot around the previous color. Eventually you will end up covering the length of the headphones. You can cover the individual bud wires or leave them uncovered. And it’s done!! You can gift them to your buddies. 

 
You require: A basic t-shirt, a black fabric dye, a self-adhesive paper, scalpels, brush

Instructions: Put a baking paper covered board inside the t-shirt, that protect it from stains. Choose from the net a city silhouette or any nice image you like. Then stick it in the back of self-adhesive paper. Cut out it with the scalpels. Then put onto the T-shirt. Paint it with big brush, and with big movements. The stencil haven’t got bottom, so the bottom will not be straight rather fading. Carefully remove the stencil. Iron the shirt inside out. Put inside the T-shirt a rag. Here you go!

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away. Instead of throwing them out, reuse yogurt cups, cereal boxes, milk jugs, water bottles (and more) to make easy, affordable decorations for your home. Recycling gives you a sense of satisfaction of saving money and getting creative. Here are a few day-to-day things which we tend to throw away which ca

Clip that Dungaree Back On!

Dungarees initially started off as a men’s wear. Further when women made themselves equal against men, their fashion statement also got updates with women starting to wear dungarees. Till date, it has been a ‘must’ in every fashion -conscious woman’s wardrobe and is completely worth having. It goes on all kinds of body shapes like apple, pear, and hourglass and so on. All you must check on is the style. Some women look great with shorts styled dungaree, some with long ones and some with skirt styled dungarees.    One of the best combinations is to sport a white plane crop top and a typical light blue, ripped-jeans dungaree. Otherwise sport a shorts-styled black dungaree with a short and bright tube top that will only be visible from the sides. Dungarees are definitely back in fashion and if you haven’t bought one yet, go get it!
