Lights! Camera! Action!
But for this DIY, I only made a light. And by light, I mean a lantern. As a DIY lover, there are days that all I do is scroll, scroll, and scroll all day with different blogs, pinterest, tumblr, and so much more. Then I saw this cool and really classy-looking DIY film lantern. The films give the lantern a vintage look.
I saw this DIY on pinterest but the only thing was that this DIY post didn't provide any tutorial, so I'll try to give my own tutorial.
Tools you'll need:
a transparent box
films
mod podge
scissors
mason jar
candle (or led candles)
Steps:
1. The transparent box that I used was a box for a stuffed toy.With your transparent box, measure the length of your film so that it fits and can cover the whole box.
2. Use the mod podge (or you can mix water with glue having the same amount *if you don't have mod podge*) to stick all the films to cover up the whole box.
3. Get a mason jar or any jar (I used a jar of sandwich spread) and remove the lid.
4. Put the candle inside the jar. And for this, I took a long candle then I just cut it into a smaller one so that its size is only half of the jar, because if it is longer than the length of the jar it could be dangerous. (To make it more safe, I suggest to use led candles)
And you're done!
This is a very simple, yet very creative DIY. I am also proud to say that all of the materials used in making this DIY are all RECYCLED. Not all DIYs need newly brought materials and it doesn't have to be expensive. So whenever you create DIYs, before you buy something, try to look around you and you might see a material that you can recycle.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
There was this one time when I wanted to learn how to play a bass guitar because I was so amazed whenever I watch somebody play the bass guitar in youtube \m/ Then I realized that maybe playing bass guitar is not my thing (T^T) BUT! I shall not give up! So instead of forcing myself or trying to play a bass guitar, I looked at another angle..........
TING! TING! TING! A DIY bass guitar bag! The picture above is the one that I made. Seems legit. I know. Fortunately, I found a blog that made a DIY tutorial for this project and also saw it on pinterest. Here it is.....
You can see the tutorial here. When I saw this I was so amazed that I quickly looked for the materials that I will be using. Then there was this problem..... I don't have a sewing machine.....
JAN-JAN-JAAAAAAN!
(insert sad face)
That factor made this DIY project quite complicated for me. But then again, I looked at another angle and saw my hands. So I hand-stitched it all, from the inside to the outside and for some decorations I just used fabric glue. Then when I was done with all the stitching, I said to myself that it really seems legit TeeHee :)
Now, whenever I use it I have this tiny feels that I am playing a bass guitar. This is one EPIC DIY *for me*
Look at another angle
What time is it? It's Adventure Time!
Greetings DIY lovers! And to those starbucks lover! #Swiftie ....... Anyways, here is another DIY that I made and I did this the night before one of my friend's birthday.
As I was thinking of a gift that I will give to my friend for her birthday, I remembered that she loves Adventure Time. Then when I was searching for a DIY gift, I stumbled upon this great list of DIY gifts and....
CHAN-CHA-RA-RAAAAAN!
DIY Adventure Time Eye Mask! And it's a No Sew version. So I ended up making this and as a character, I chose Jake the dog. Luckily, I found a yellow eye mask! TeeHee :)
Tools you'll need:
eye mask
some fabric
glue gun/fabric glue
Steps:
1. Cut out some fabric for the eyes of Jake the dog, so you need to cut out two (2) circles: White (smaller) Black (bigger).
2. Stick it with a glue gun or fabric glue. Make sure that the black fabric is under the white one.
3. For the nose, cut out a U shape on a yellow fabric then for support you could add a fabric that's a bit hard on the back of the yellow fabric.
4. Cut a little oval on your black fabric for the center of the nose.
5. Stick it again with your glue gun or fabric glue. Then you're done!
So if ever you feel sleepy and want to have a good night sleep? Go ahead and make your own version of this DIY Eye mask :)
It's Adventure Time!
As far as I can remember, this is the very first DIY that I've made. I think......... So I first posted this DIY shirt picture on my instagram account ( follow meeee here ) for the reason that I am soooo proud with this DIY. Maybe one of these days, I'll be posting tutorials of the DIYs that I have done.
Love,
