Hi everyone! This is my second tutorial today. It's an anthro inspired one.

I saw this on Anthropologie's site for $48, the price goes up to $58:

Wire Script Sculpture

My version:

Materials:

Wire

Pliers

Thread

Wire Cutter

Paper (optional)

Pencil (optional)

How to make:

1. Take some thick wire. Mine was old and was kinda tarnished, you might wanna paint your's if it's new and isn't being much visible against your wall. Start bending the wire according to what you'll want it look like. To make it easier, write something on paper (in cursive writing) first and then follow the directions of the curves and letters. I altered the spelling of 'pretty' to 'preety' just for fun :D

2. Tie both ends with a long piece of thread and hang it. Thats it! You can also you use it as a jewelry display.

It's not hammered into the wall like the original, but it does look similar. I hope you liked this tutorial. Stay tuned for more and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Hi everyone! Today I had to make something simple for my school's art project. I saw this anthro inspired organizer on Pinterest.

And this is my version (not completed):

Materials:

2 or more different sized Pringles cans or similar containers

Gold spray paint or any other colored spray paint

Cardboard

Clear glue

Foamic sheet

Lace, Masking tape, paper etc. for covering the edges

How to make:

1. Prepare your items: containers & cardboard. Spray paint them in gold or any other color.

2. Glue pieces fomic sheet on the bottom, to fill the empty space between the containers and the base. Glue the edges and then stick it to the cardboard. For more sturdiness, glue around the edges.

3. It's almost done! Glue some paper, masking tape or paper to cover the rough edges and spray paint. (not pictured)

I hope you liked it. It was smaller than the original. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and thank you for reading!

Hi everyone! Finally, today I got some time to publish a new post, so here it is! It's really simple, quick and easy to make. The only thing I am missing are clamps. I couldn't find them in my area. If they are available, I recommend you to use them to get best results.

Materials:

Clasp

Jump rings

Extension chain (optional)

A thin & delicate lace

Clamps (recommended)

How to make:

1. Wrap a length of lace around your wrist. Cut it accordingly.

2. Add a clasp on one end with a jump ring. Add an extension chain on the other with a jump ring. I changed my mind and used jump rings instead of a extension chain.

3. Done! I wish I had clamps :( but it's ok the rough threads won't be much visible. It's thin so I'll layer it while wearing.

Layer it with other bangles and bracelets. I hope you liked it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Thank you for reading and may you have a nice day :)

P.S: The images from now on will be in lower resolution than before. It took me a lot of time to upload so I did this.

Hi everyone! Today I am gonna post a tutorial which will give you an idea to freshen up your old iPad case. It's very simple and easy and looks very classy. I had some spray-painted lace fabric and it was very stiff now. I just recycled it.

Materials:

Lace (15-25 inches long)

Scissors

Tape

An iPad case (I am using a portfolio)

How to make:

1. Wrap the lace around the case vertically.

2. Tape it on the case at the back of the flap. If it's long; stretch it, overlap it and tape the lace only. It will create a band.

3. Enjoy! Here are the examples of it on black and white cases. Both of them were experimented with two kinds of lace.

I am so fond of lace...

I hope you liked this tutorial as it is a very easy one, again. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for more!

Hi everyone! Today I'll be posting an Anthro-inspired DIY tutorial, which are common during these days...

Yesterday day I visited Anthropologie's site and I saw this for $48:

Hedda Tassel Necklace by MADE

It seem to be so simple and easy to make so I gave a try. It's primarily made of leather, but I didn't had leather at home so I opted for another fabric.

Materials:

Fabric (I chose cotton)

Saffron colored thread or golden colored wire

Gold Chain

A paint brush or something else for supporting the tassel

Scissors

How to make:

1. Roll up some fabric. Fold it in half and tie to a paintbrush or something else with the thread or the wire.

2. Cut the excess and cut fringes in the roll. Neatly cut the rough and raw threads.

3. I prefer to make it look a little rough so I did not cut off all the threads. There you go, it's ready!

I did this just for fun, It could have looked more fine if I made it seriously :D Well it is at least fine to be worn, because the threads aren't visible from far away... It will look better if leather is used. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for more!

Hi everyone! Today Ms. Khadija gave me some blogging tips and now I am gonna imply as much of it as I can on this post. This is one of the most easiest projects which will take less than 5 minutes to make. The best thing is that it's 2-in-1 piece of jewelry so you can wear it as a bracelet or a pendant chain. It's chic, cool and hipster to.

Materials

Chain of desired color (I chose grey) and of desired size

Jump rings

Clasp (I chose bronze colored)

Extension chain matching the clasp's color

Pliers (optional)

How to make:

1. Attach jump rings to the of the ends of the chain.

2. Attach an extension chain and a clasp using the attached jump rings on the ends.

4. Now wrap it up and wear it like a bracelet,

5. Or wear your favourite pendants!

This is one of the most easiest projects I've ever came up with. This could be somehow a valentine's day special project because it's a coincidence that I am posting it on this day. Happy Valentines Day to those who celebrate it (atleast I don't :D). Let me know your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for more crafts!

Hi! From some months I am finding my laptop boring. It's new but plain black in color with somewhat a snake skin texture. I got it last year. So today nobody was at home, so I thought to do something. Then I got the same idea for my laptop which I got for my phone. Washi tape isn't available in my area so this the easiest way for me to decorate my laptop. My camera's battery was dead at the moment so pictures aren't good at all. All of them are taken with my iPad and you know the camera is just... Let's just start.

Materials:

Laptop

Masking Tape

Permanent marker (I used black)

Pencil (Optional)

Scissors

Top coat transparent nail polish or sealer spray

How to make:

1. Cut the tape according to the vertical length of your laptop.

2. Paste it and check it if it's ok. Trim the excess.

3. Take it off and paste it on a smooth flat surface. Start drawing your pattern with permanent marker. I drew an irregular zig zag pattern, somewhat chevron. Use a pencil if you are unsure.

4. Coat it with the clear nail polish or the spray. Spray is better because nail polish might cause the marker ink to bleed (happened with me).

5. Paste the tape on your laptop and that's it. Remember to take it off after some period of time (e.g. after a month) because it may start to look dirty.

I made another design using the spray-paint lace technique. It takes time but the results are just awesome. These pictures were, finally, taken with my camera.
