DIY Love inspired

Hi Loves,

My last post was about personalized gift for special people in our life, In this post i am sharing quite an old personalized gift.

For this project i have again used wood as my base. Some furniture work was going on in my house and there i got the perfect size of wood pieces i needed but you can easily get desired size of wood pieces at any nearby hardware store.

I have got this idea, when i visited a gift gallery and saw a showpiece. There were many with different relationships like sister, mother, father and many more. It was made using glass as a base but getting wood was simpler for me so i decided to make my personal one with wood.

As this project was done before i started my blog so i don't have step wise photographs for this project.. apologies.. ;) but still wanted to share this with you people.

I have used Hobby ideas Shilpkar for the hearts and border and Hobby ideas Acrylic colour for painting it.




This is just an idea, so open your creative box and give this idea of personalized gift your personal touch. Give it to your special person without any occasion and it will work like magic in your relationship.

Grab your tools and gear up yourself and enjoy a wonderful joy ride of creativity.

Hope you like this,
Thanks for visiting.

Love being creative.

Personalised Photo frame

Gifts are always loved to both receive and give, I love to receive gifts ;) It strengthens the emotional bond between people and stays as a precious happy memory with us... It is the best way to express our feelings.

Personalised gifts adds the magical spark to any moment. It makes your special person feels very very special. I love to make personalised gifts for my loved ones.

I created a personalised photo frame for someone very special in my life. As pictures/photos have always been the best way to save memories for forever.

So lets get started,

Step 1: To get a plain wooden photo frame, I got mine from Micheals(my fav. craft store).. My frame has come with a hole and stick to make the frame stand perfectly....



Step 2: For base coat, Paint your frame with white colour(optional), I would prefer you to give your frame a white base coat so that your main colour would come very brightly on white.






Step 3: To make my frame more expressive, I decided to draft all relationships we share. So draft all text and other details you want on your frame. Make sure you use some light shade colour on top of your text to make your text visible to you after painting on it.

 

Step 4: Paint your frame with the colour you want on your frame. I painted my frame with yellow.


Step 5: Paint your text with some darker shade after your step 4 paint dries completely, Do this with the smallest size brush you have. If you are  not comfortable painting your text with brush, then use permanent markers like sharpie. but painting with brush gives better effect.


Step 6: Finally decorate and complete your frame giving it all extra personal effects, I have given a glitter layer once my paint has dried completely and finish it by applying 1-2 layers of gloss lustre mod podge to seal your work and give it an extra glossy effect.




We always have emotions but we lack in expressing it. So try making a personalised gift for people special in your life and make them feel special. We don't know how long life is, so don't be late to express your feelings.

Hope you liked it,
See you soon with another creative project, till then....
Love being creative.
