Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Ok! Its finally done!

So as promised, Project 1 is finished. This is a piece of craft that I am categorizing under ‘Interior Decoration’. It’s a simple 4 step process for the eye catching final product. Hope you guys have fun! I have really enjoyed working on it!

This piece adds a very antique touch to your home. You can also hang it up as a full length mirror. I have listed below the things required. The same steps can be followed to make picture frames. These are great gift ideas!

Items required:

       1.  A mirror with wooden frames.

       2.  Trimmings

       3.  Scissors

       4.  All purpose glue (UHU recommended).

Steps:

1.     Cut the pieces of trimmings into size that would cover the  wooden frame width.

2.   Place the trimmings pieces on the frame and stick the pieces with the all purpose glue.

3.     Let the glue dry and continue the process on all the sides.

4.     Clear the glue stains from the sides of the mirror. 

And Voila! Here’s the final piece. 

Hope you guys loved this D.I.Y. Leave a comment below if you have any questions. I would be glad to get back to your queries.

Inspiration

Today, I would like emphasis on the word ‘Inspiration’. Inspiration is a very vital part of life. Inspiration persuades us to move forward and become the best of us.

So here are my inspirations:

Living in Dubai, as a kid we only had one channel to watch. Channel 33! For most of our growing years, we were hooked on to it. There were a host of shows that were broadcasted, but my favorite was ‘Art Attackt’! Yes, inspiration from this Disney’s Junior Art Show. There are so many fun memories attached to this show.

This is a very exciting programme that has taught us to create many wonderful craft stuff and at the same time taught us to be environmental friendly. So guys, check out the link below and get creative.

Disney Junior: Art Attack

Moving on to my tweens, inspiration came from history. I was doing a semester on Humanities and fell head over heels in love with the Baroque period. The art, the music and the architecture was a bit over the top but that’s what made it so unique and rich. Known as the ‘era of elegance’ it captured and played with the strings of my heart. My love for all things visual and sensual was heightened. During this semester, I revisited my inner bond with all things art.

The pieces I loved truly from the baroque period:

Music: Antonio Vivaldi’s concerto “The Four Seasons”. I have added the link below for the piece on ‘Spring’ that you can watch on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-dYNttdgl0&feature=related 

Architecture: The Fontana di Trevi or Trevi fountain in Rome. A depiction of the baroque dramatization. Everything special about it is the emphasis that went onto detail. 

These were just a few things I have mentioned. One last thing I would like to add is, in life it’s important to hold on to your inspiration and let it guide you to bring the best in you.

PS: Just an update on my current project, its 65% complete. Hoping to put it up in another week’s time.

Cheerios.

Introduction to Creative Crafts

We all have many terrific and very unique ideas but tend to take the turn to our customary devilish road to "will do it tomorrow". Tomorrow never comes as each 'To-day' is followed by another 'To-day' in our life. So here is where I have decided to put the creative jolts to work 'Today' and have decided not to take the road to doing it 'Tomorrow'.

I will be posting on some creative 'Do-It-Yourself' ideas. Everything on this blog will be related to 'Arts & Crafts'. Activities that can help you relax, share time with your friends, help you with your children's school projects, interior designing, etc.  I will be posting the current project I am working on now in a few week's time. So really looking forward to it.

On a end note, lets make the work of 'To-day' a stepping stone to 'To-morrow'.
