Woodgrain nameplate- Tried woodgraining for the first time.

 When was the last time you Tried something new. I did it today and loved the outcome.

Tried my hands for the first time at wood graining technique. Yup what you see here is completely handmade. The base is MDF and I used acrylic paints and wood graining tool. I loved it.
The devil is in the details. Yup details in na project are what make it extra special. So here are a few details from my recent nameplate that I made recently. Love this nameplate coz I had a customer who was referred to me by one of my previous customers. So when you get referrals that proves that you did everything right.

Jumping with joy for having created this nameplate. Loved every bit of the process.
Beautiful base, cutouts- @theelementcraftstudio
Leaf thin cut die- @itsybitsycraftstore

Recycle/upcycle a cosmix container with me.

 Heya folks!!!

Today I took over @thecosmixway stories to share my cosmix journey. Whilst at it, did a few DIY's. 

This is one of them where I convert a used cosmix container to something new that can be reused for keeping some knick knacks.

Removed all the labels and used fevicol to stick the jute twine around the container and the lid. Added a paper flower on the lid later and voila the project is done. This took me about 15 mins to put together. You can try it too. In case you do try it out, don't forget to tag me. BTW you can definitely do it on larger surfaces!!!


Hope you do try this one out!!!
