MAKE IT | Chevron Frame


Okay okay...i admit. I might be a little obsessed with chevron. (Just a little!) But hey! What's not to love? And when i got my hands on this silver boring old frame, what's to stop me from taking some spray paint and some tape and well going crazy! Chevron crazy! I'm terribly sorry that i don't have step by step pictures for this. I had my hands full of tape and paint and well...That doesn't make for pretty pictures!

YOU NEED:
  • A frame (Mine was silver to begin with)
  • Tape
  • Spray Paint in your choice of colour
- Start by taping of areas on your frame where you don't want the paint to stick. I created a chevron pattern with small bits of tape. It is a tedious process to line the tape exactly but it's worth the effort. You can do straight lines, checks or any design you fancy.

- Lay out newspapers on the floor to avoid spillage from the paint.

- Put your frame flat on the floor and spray once making sure you get a nice even coat.

- Wait for it to dry and spray again adding another coat.

- Voila! You have a brand new upscaled frame. 

- Show it off proudly!

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
