Truck Art Inspired Painted Glass

2:24 PM | Labels: , , , , ,

Hi Everyone,
 Today Again I am going to share a Recycling/Reuse of an ordinary thing..I know most of you sweeties are in a habit of throwing cracked glass or mugs in garbage..BUT would you believe I AM NOT in this habit..really! I make colorful & useful stuff with a little cracked crockery(not with totally crushed things)
Whenever our housemaid break something during dish washing & when I notice Something is cracked somewhere in my kitchen, I try to pick it up as early as possible:)

Remember my Pakistani Truck Art post, you will know better about this hand painted Art :)
I feel good when I saw this cracked glass :) & I start making it colorful without any  pattern keeping in my mind...I am using the plaid gifted brushes & paints :)
You Will Need..
A glass or vase
Paints & paint brushes
glitter glue or mod podge sparkle
process~
Read Direction Carefully & excuse me for my funny mood..yep :)
Wash the glass(I haven't washed but I would like to suggest u.haha)
Hold carefully (it was slipping from my hand twice..huh)
Start painting with a slim tip brush(I start with a big & the curves were going bad..yep)
You May use any colors,I pick these from my craft room table(I am lazy, so cant visit craft room again during work(working on shelf not table)
After completing paint ,then I cover the whole painted glass with Folk Art Extreme Glitter..silver!
Its Done after getting Dry! because of glitter shine it was hard to take a perfect picture :) But I try my best ~
I hope you have enjoyed the colorful glass & my Recycling too.

Have a Nice Day.

How To Make Colorful Bookmarks/Gift Tags(Recycling)

10:55 PM | Labels: , , , , , , , ,

I am a university student,I have to live with my heavy textbooks..huh..mostly I have some paper strips in my books as a bookmark(how bad it is for a Creative Mind) I am in a habit of saving cloth/shopping stuff tags..a few days back I tried something colorful with these & now these used tags are in a good use..Yes..You know How..?
Would you believe these are a few tags which we usually throw after removing packing of our shopping stuff..

Bookmarks
Making of these colorful Bookmarks is very easy & Fun..All you need to have is just a few designs in your mind & simply start working on lines,dots,circles etc..
Bookmarks
Now Get Set Ready For another easy peasy Tutorial :)
You will Need..
Some card tags
Paints & paint brushes
Modpodge
(Lots of Stamina which I usually lose)
First of all pick some acrylic colors & make contrasts in your mind :)
Then start working with one color on all tags,(so you will be safe from washing your paintbrushes on & off)I am using three or four brushes of different tip sizes..
When you will complete your base color of tags,then start making designs,lines,dots & doodles on it..I am working on all these free hand..you can pick any pattern too..
I love My Pakistan's flag bookmark..How Lovely..Its the Best idea ever for a patriot student..
well After designing all these, leave it until dry totally otherwise you know what will happen??
Thats why I am saying..leave it until DRY...you have to dry it totally..otherwise Something Like this will happen..actually I totally forgot that the dots of ladybug are still wet..all other tags were dry but I make this blunder..so why not to share this with you..
Now a fun thing to do..yep..Modpodge these tags & when they will get dry you can use zero sand paper if you think its getting sticky..
Lets shine..hmmm
These bookmarks can be used as gift tags,I know many of my readers are not students but You can try this as gift tags..
Oh Yes One more thing...
I was having these foaming stickers in my craft stash so I use here just to add some fun..
My books are also happy with these bookmarks,,oh Yees..they told me once in my ear when I was sleeping during late night study & my head was on my book..what a cool(poor) life of a student...from morning to night,its all about headache..haha
I am studying about e-textbook development & writing..interesting..
Have you noticed the joke of the year in this post..?the above bookmark have a sticker showing"HAPPY" How can a student feel happy during study..??haha
BUT
A sad fact,,,Its my Last semester going on,my student life is Ending soon..this feeling makes me so sad sometimes..But I will not feel boring at home,after all I am having a blog with almost 1000 so special friends..Love you all..
And I will give these bookmarks to my nephew & Niece..they are students of grade 1 :)

The pleated pants with stones studs,and similar big sized stones are on my shoes too! Well sorry for the poor pics,the pink color is much different then this,may be picture quality or lighting problem.Hope you like my outfit post..

7:20 PM | Labels: , , , , , , , ,

In Pakistan, I enjoy up to 5 seasons every year,Spring is going on these days with lots of colors & shine..Love It..my goodness,I am living here..a most pleasant place of the world..
I have done this hand Painted Decoupaged plate with Spring Theme.I hope you will enjoy my effort!although I have leaked its first glimpse in my previous post but I am sure you were waiting for its Tutorial..Right..?So lets see Whats Up Today:)

Decoupaged & hand painted plate
I add some Magic here..so the 3D/embossed look of bird & branch is feeling Nice!
You will need;
A plate( I am using my previous decoupaged plate)
Paper tape or Brown paper pieces
Mod Podge gloss & DM
Paints & Brush
Black Pointer pen
I am reusing my previous plate which was decoupaged with newspaper pieces, So I remove these by dropping this plate in water for many hours,when the glue will be soft,you can easily remove all paper pieces,& your plate will be ready for another experiment :)
My plate was cracked from a side,so I am working carefully..
~~ PROCESS ~~
Let's Torn some pieces of any paper tape or brown paper bag, then start pasting this on your plate!When the front side of the plate will get dry, then turn it back & start pasting on the other side of plate..
after completing back side of plate decoupage,again leave it until dry totally..
 Its Done..Now you can try any of your idea at this brown paper decoupaged plate,I am going to add some colors in it now:)
I Draw a bird with black pointer pen,I was thinking about not to color this because the bird was feeling so innocent without colors..haha

well I color it & again mod Podge it
And now add some Magic!
I try this Fun Idea about adding some Dimensional Magic on colored spaces, & it turned out so nice, feels like bird is Alive..Thanks Amy for sending me this Magic..you are shoo shweet :)
 
Thats it,,
Now some photo editing fun!
Now a sneak peek at my upcoming creativity.these bottles are Mountain Dew drink bottles.its colored tutorial is coming soon..So dont go anywhere & enjoy your Spring at Khadija's Creative Mind, I am working on somethingzzzzz :) I hope You will enjoy!
