MAKE IT | PHOTO JOURNAL

Heya!

Are you all looking forward to the festival of lights and bursting eardrums as much as i am? Isn't it wonderful how the weather changes just slightly and brings with it that lovely smell of winter! Which also means that i should stop procrastinating and get on with the hundreds of DIY's i have shoved under the mat…No more blaming yucky weathers.

Here is one to start things off. Let's just say that once upon a time i had an ugly looking dairy that i used to jot everything down in. I carried it everywhere…albeit hidden. So i decided that i would swoop in and save the day by giving it a makeover! And what best to jazz up a journal with than a handful of keepsake pictures!

YOU NEED:
  • A blank, filled, old or ratty journal
  • A printed collage of pictures (measure the front of your journal and add 1/2 an inch to the length and width for safety) 
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Embellishments (like raised letters etc.)





- In Photoshop or any other picture software you can work your way around, create a document the size of your journal and paste various pictures however you like. 

 - Apply glue all over the front of your journal. Be sure to get very close to the edge for the best result

 - Adhere the photo to the front of the cover making sure to press down on all sides. Open the cover and using the inside, cut away the excess if any. 

 - Add stickers and other embellishments to your front cover and enjoy your new personal journal!

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 ...
