DIY Small Organiser

Two days ago I was walking through my garage and I saw an old seedling pot. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make it something new, so this is what I made and how I made it.

I took an old seedling pot and cleaned all the dirt out of it.

Next I spray painted the pot silver to match the decor in my room.

Then it was decoration time. You can decorate yours however you like but I used pink washi tape, some string and some letter stickers.

After you are happy with how it looks you can fill it with anything you want, for example pens and pencils, nail polish or lip balms.

DIY Tissue Jar

I've never liked the look of plain old tissue boxes so I decided to look for a way to make a tissue holder room decor. So here is how I made my tissue jar.

First take you mason jar and paint it any colour you like.

Next cut a piece of paper the same size as the lid. In the center of this circle cut a cross, this is where the tissues will come from.

Now you just need to add your tissues and and put all the pieces back together without the original lid. (You may need to cut your tissues to fit inside your jar.)
You can  choose different colours to suit you room or change the lid colour for different seasons.

DIY Floating picture

The other day I was feeling crafty but I didn't know what I should do. I looked through Pinterest and Google but I didn't find any ideas that jumped out at me so I decided to put some things together. Here is the result.

Feel free to use a photo or another picture instead if you prefer, but to find out how I made this keep reading.

First I started with a square piece of paper that is smaller than my frame. Then I taped down a triangle in the middle of the paper (you can use any shape you like).

I chose four main colours and I started to paint around the edges of the triangle. I overlapped the colours and made the strokes different lengths and widths.

After the paint had dried I took some silver spray paint and sprayed some of the edges of the paper. I also let the paint drip a bit so it left little drops of silver.

Then I carefully pulled the tape and triangle off the page so I could fill in the spaces where the tape was.

Next I used my stamp set to add the phrase "Don't stop" into the middle of the triangle.

The next step was the frame so I took an old frame and applied two coats of silver spray paint to match the silver patches on the picture.

After it was dry I measured the sides so I could divide them into thirds so I knew where to place the string. I cut four pieces of string so that they could reach each side of the frame. I then attached the string with hot glue.

To attach the picture I added hot glue on the strings where I wanted the picture to sit.

That's the finished product. If you created this let me know how it went and follow my blog for more crafts and advice.
