DIY :: TO-DO List....

Right, so every time when i go for my grocery shopping, i forget something or the other or I buy things that are already there!  Such wastage of time and money :(

I knew the TO-DO list is my key but the point is, when you're in the kitchen and u realize that something has finished, you don't have the to-DO list booklet with you.. thus came the idea to hang a TO-DO list in my kitchen

Many options were considered and rejected

1. Chalkboard-easy to make but difficult to maintain. Also, my hands will be chalkie every time i use it..
2. Whiteboard - Great option but rejected as i wanted this to be DIY
3. White painted Glass framed - again great option but only DIY here is the white painting 

and when i was just observing my kitchen this time, i saw the glass window i have.. eureka!!

so here it was.. i already have a glass framed as a window... 
i did not paint it white...what if i have a better idea tomorrow and want the glass clear? so i just glued white paper behind it..easy :)

The only cost involving product was a marker :)

here's my completely filled TO-DO list.. :)

I just take a picture of this every time i go for grocery shopping.. No need to write again.. will not forget anythin either :)

DIY :: Keychain Holder

Well I wanted to make a wedding collage since along time. But life after marriage was a really busy one. Finally, close to 2 years after the marriage, i got sometime to create the collage.
I wanted to do the collage big-size but then owing to many restrictions:( i decided not to wait till all the restrictions are over
i took this photo frame that i got fo my marriage (gifted by my bessssssst friend :D ) and started the task

Materials Required:
Photo frame
Hooks
Hot glue
Wire
and off course, the pic ;)

Decide the positions of the hooks and hot glue them. use a wire to hold them in place, if needed. 

 Insert the picture.

Err.. its done! well actually, the first step was the time consuming one rest were all a piece of cake :)

Whats left : I'll cover the hook attachment using a satin ribbon :)

Here's my collage

Earring Organizer......

After my recent trip, i bought loads and loads of earrings :) [ladies love shopping!!].  An now, half of them are missing owing to my careless nature...

I'm looking for an innovative yet simple idea to hang my earrings....its then that I saw some pictures. Click here or Here or Here
Needless to say, this is next in list....
Coming back to this after a long time...i finally decided to finish off this craft.
Guess what!!! it took me less than one hour and less than 100  Rs to finish off this task :)

Lets start with materials...

The list is:

• A photo frame
• Hammer
• Tiny nails
• Scissors
• Net cloth (normally used for stitching gown - Rs. 50/meter - u'll need half of half meter)

Spread the net cloth over the frame and fix it properly using the tiny nails.
Make sure that the net cloth is as stretched as possible

The excess cloth is rolled up and fixed on the frame.
Its a good idea to use the masking tape so as to hide this roll up.

I had also stick some thermacol at the end so that i can put my studs :)

Its time now to hang my earring :)

It took me 45 mins to create this holder but looks like i'm gonna take at least a day to hunt down my earrings !!!!!!!!!

Happy Crafting :)
