Glass bottle decoration with yarn

2012-06-15T00:45:00.000-03:00

Glass bottles can be a key decoration element to any room. They usually end up spray painted, holding flowers, but now let's see something different (and funnier).

To decorate a glass bottle like this you'll need:

- a glass bottle
- thread, yarn (I used both)
- glue
- patience!

And then it's as easy as it seems.
Add a little glue to the bottle (in small areas, so you have time to roll the yarn before it gets dry)

Release your imagination and your hands.
And Art it Yourself!!

Custom clock decor

2012-03-30T13:44:00.003-03:00

A personalized clock is our good idea to cheap decor.
Here's the tutorial to DIY:

1. choose any clock

2. pop off the plastic cover and trace around it to measure your print area

3. Remove the spindle mechanism and don't forget to mark the center of the clock so you can cut out a small hole to the spindle mechanism

4. print whatever you want! (I've traced those Japanese characters in Adobe Illustrator)

5. make sure the numbers are lined up with their right positions on the clock and glue it carefully.

6. Project done!
