Honeycomb wall paint

Hello Reader!!

This time, I tried to come back early. Well not that early, but still. Hehehe 😜

Okay, so this is something new and huge. Some of you might know, that I am an artist. And being an artist, plain whites always attract me. I just want to color them, and my mind won't stop thinking about ideas, until that is done. So, when we recently moved into a new house, it was christmas for the artist inside me. Everywhere plain white walls, waiting for me to cover them up with beautiful colors. I started thinking about ideas to use maximum colors, but it was a challenge for me to paint on such a huge wall, as it would have required patience, which I have equal to none. So, came this idea, of making the honey comb pattern, that would be quick, easy and I could use as many different types of colors as I wanted.

You would just need paper tapes, brushes, a small cardboard piece, pencil, scissor and colors. I used acrylic colors as they give good texture, are bright and look funky, but you can use oil colors as well. Once you have gathered the equipments, just follow the steps below:

Step 1: Cut the cardboard into the shape of a hexagon.

Step 2: On the wall, trace the hexagons from the cardboard with a light pencil. Be sure that the pencil is not very dark, as it will leave marks and would be visible from beneath the paint.

While tracing, make sure to leave the space, equals to the width of the tape, between two hexagons.

Step 3: Once, the whole wall is traced, start sticking the tape in the space between the hexagons.

Step 4: Go crazy!!!! Just fill in colors in those pretty little boxes. If you want, you can thin the color.

Step 5: Allow the paint to dry. And then, take out the tapes carefully.

Voila!!! You have your wall ready. Isn't it beautiful????

I choose hexagons, but you can choose any shape you like. Now go on, and spoil the wall.

Have fun! See you next time!

DIY Medicine Box!!!

Hello there!!! Hahahahahha, yes, I am back! Again!! And this time, through an app! O yeah!! 😋😋 All thanks to technology. This same technology has given us the privilege of online shopping, and the one thing that you are definitely going to get with online shopping is, loads and loads of cardboard boxes!! So, my desk was getting crowded with the boxes and I desperately wanted to do something with them. And then, one day after lunch, my grandma got confused with her medicines, as her chits, where she wrote the timings got all scrambled up. It gave me the idea. Why not make something that will allow her to organise her medicines. And, the result is as follows. I made this medicine box just out of a card board box, ragged cloth, pair of scissors and glue.

If you also want to make someone happy, then follow these steps:

Step 1: Get a medium sized cardboard, that is being enough to fit all the medicines.

Step 2: Find some nice ragged cloth that has a some nice design. Don't tear up anything new, or I am not responsible if your mom scolds you 😋

Step 3: Cut the smaller side flaps of the box. Remove the excess tape from the box.

Step 4: Cut the cloth in nice strips that can fit across atleast onse side of the box. It is not necessary to have a single strip.

Step 5: Now, fold the cloth inside by atleast one cm and make the boundary sharp by running your nail or a scale over it. This helps hide the rough boundary on the back side and gives a clean look.

Step 6: Once the boundaries are folded, on both the sides, along the length, apply some glue/fevicol on the inner side and stick it to the box. Run your hands through it, so that it sticks evenly and the cloth is spread out evenly.

Step 7: Do it for all the outer sides.

Step 8: Use the remaining cardboard pieces to make compartments in the box, to define the morning, afternoon and night medicines for before and after the meal. You can make compartments as per your choice and need.

And, finally, you can label the conpartments with a nice pen in big fonts so that your grandmom or granddad can read it easily.

Taddaaa!! The medicine box is ready! Your elderly will enjoy using it as much as you will enjoy making it.

Go ahead and have fun!!

See you next time!
Keep crafting!
