So today’s project is a quick DIY to beautify your tea tray. For today’s project I used premarked Mdf base – kettle . I started with priming my mdf base using the chalk paint Natural white .

  Hello my Crafty peeps, Today , I am excited to make a new project with Papericious newly launched pre marked mdf bases and chalk paints. I am all praises about the quality and variety of colours Papericious has launched in the chalk paints. For today's project I have taken the Buddha premarked mdf base and chalk paints in the shades - Brink pink, fuchsia , orange pulp, hot red and mocha. I started with priming the Mdf base . Once it dried up I started painting it with the chalk paints. I used Brink Pink and Fuchsia for colouring the lotus petals. For Buddha’s clothes I used Orange Pulp and gave highlights with Hot red . For the skin I used mocha colour. For the head I mixed Hot red and Spring green to make dark brown but you can use Walnut brown as well. Once my colours dried I outlined it with black colour. Then using fevibond I added a magnet on the back of the mdf base and my fridge magnet is ready. Isn’t it quick and super easy to make such a bea...

Hello My Crafty Peeps, How have you been ? Last month was little busy and exciting. I hosted Cardmaking workshops . One question that was common amongst the participants was where else can we use the Craft stamps other than Cardmaking . So today I have come up with two interesting projects where we can use the Craft stamp other than Cardmaking PROJECT 1: CANVAS PAINTING USING CLEAR STAMPS For this project , I took a 4*4inch canvas and stamped it using Tubby Craft stamp set Mice Day . Then using Gouache paints I painted the entire Canvas. Once it dried up I varnished it using a Varnish spray . My canvas painting is ready. Wasn’t it super quick and easy to make. Check out the reel -  Canvas Painting PROJECT 2: FRIDGE MAGNET USING CLEAR STAMPS For my 2 nd project , I took a readymade mdf base cut in the shape of a mason jar. I painted the base black . Next I stamped up fireflies from Tubby craft stamp set fireflies. I colored them and added them on...

Hello my Crafty Friends Today i have come up with another super easy and beautiful resin project . My love for flowers and gardening sometimes reflect in my projects and this project is one of them.  For my today’s project I have taken flowers from my own garden . I took bougainvillea flowers of different sizes along with leaves. I pressed them in my books. Bougainvillea is the easiest flower to press and use for your resin projects and its cost efficient also. Before doing any resin project we need to do some preparations . Preparations 1.  Cover your workstation - Cover up your workstation properly . I use cellaphane sheets to cover my work table. It is done to avoid spoiling your work table incase resin falls on it. These sheets will be disposed later. 2.  Gloves -Always wear gloves while working with resin . I prefer Nitrile gloves when handling resin . You can also use surgical gloves . Never do any of your resin project with bare hands. ...

Hello My Crafty Friends , Today i have come up with a beautiful decoupage box. It goes without saying that my love for birds reflect in my art projects. For my today's project i have taken a very beautiful birdy wreath Decoupage napkin. I started by taking a desired MDF  box . I primed it using Acrylic gesso and let it dry. When done painting check corners and edges to make sure the paint has not pooled or thick. Brush off excess paint with your paintbrush. Once the paint is completely dry to touch, I took my decoupage napkin . Experiment with the design to determine the placement of the paper. Measure the sides of the box and cut the paper accordingly. Measure the paper by placing it on the sides. Always take some extra size of paper so as to avoid mistakes. Since my napkin is 3 ply , I carefully removed the two layers from beneath. Only the printed napkin layer is the one that is going to be used. Evenly apply a thin layer of Decoupage Glue on the surface....
