Festive season Wall Painting



Want some cool ideas to paint your walls this Festive Season ?... let me share you a DIY easy painting...

1  1.   POP Magic:
Start by mixing plaster of Paris in water; keep the consistency thick, so that it can stick to    the wall
-with your hand, apply a thick layer of POP on one corner of the wall. Before it dries off, give texture with your “fingers”
Horizontal, Vertical, Lines, Circles, Anything you want to experiment with.
-Give texture to complete wall and let it dry.
-Apply a coat of primer and let it dry.
-Paint the wall in your desired color &get beautifully textured walls.


2. Antique Walls:
              Start by painting the wall with your desired color.
-Mix Glaze and same color paint in the ratio 4:1
-using a roller, paint a small section diagonally (left to right).Repeat the motion opposite direction (right to left).
-Let it set for 5-10 min. Wipe the textured areas with a damp sponge & create antique looking     faded walls





3. Sponge Paint:
           Paint your wall with your desired color.
-          Make sure the color is two tones lighter that the one you will choose create texture with the sponge.
-          Mix glazing liquid with the darker paint in the ration say 2:1
-          Dip the sponge lightly in water & then into the paint mix.
-          Dab the sponge on the cloth to wipe off excess paint.
-          Press the sponge onto the wall and twist it. Leave 1 inch gap and repeat it.
Variety of motion notes can be created to create different patterns on the wall.

Shell Mirror-First attempt


Good day to all:)

Today lets create a simple affordable Shell mirror a beauty of beach with a personal touch

Had these shells collected on my visit to a beach..

All you need for this craft is a mirror ,shells,glue and glass paint close to water color in case you want to use it anywhere, you can even visit the glassware shop and ask them to drill hole so that you can hang it using a ribbon.

take a mirror place shells as per your choice and glue it.its a little messy job so make sure u have a news paper underneath,you don't want your floor messy do you ?

fill in the gap with tiny shells available make sure you use complete shells not broken ones, just a thought in the gaps you can even glue some fine sands.





Ignore the stains on the glass you can clean it in the end.:P




so all got to do is imagine how you want the mirror to be 
then glue it,paste it,glue it stick it

and its ready to use, this can be a perfect gift for a friend and not to forget an affordable one



Alright will clean the mess on the glass using soap water..

NJOY!!!!
