DIY Room decor

Being motivated and having lots of positive energy in every day life is kind of difficult, but to stay positive is really very important for our own happiness. So lets create something which keeps us motivated and fill in with lots of positive energy.


I have created this decor as per my dreams. You can customize it as per your dreams and likings.


For creating this Room decor, first we will have to make 3 canvas paintings. I am painting my canvas based on my life & dreams. All 3 paintings are super easy to make and will give you lots of positive energy throughout the day. 

So lets get started!!



1. I PAINT my DREAMS

Cut a heart shape on a self adhesive paper and them stick it in the centre of your canvas and paint your canvas using various colours and some random lines.. no rules ;) 
After the paint had dried remove the heart sticker and give this heart shape a nice border to highlight it.
Finally write a quote inside the heart design to which you completely stand by and you are done with your first painting :)
Super easy!!


2. CINDERELLA 

This one is Easier than the previous one!!
Take a print out of a Cinderella silhouette and stick it on bottom left side of the canvas using a glue stick, because we don't want to stick this silhouette permanently ;)
After this spray paint on the canvas and when the spray paint is almost dry carefully remove the silhouette.
Finally write a quote and you are done with this one as well.
Excited to make this!! Go ahead :)


3. Travel

Travelling to different places is everyone's dream!! So why not make something, which will remind & motivate us to take a break and travel to different places..
Here I have given an ombre background to my canvas and then wrote some of my dream destinations on small pieces of cardboard and placed them on a long piece of a cardboard and then stick them to the canvas like so..
Finally write a quote & Happy travelling!! :)


Lastly I joined all these 3 paintings using some felt in between and tadaaa... A Motivational room decor piece is ready to keep you positive through out the day.

Stone painting

Paint, Brushes and paper/canvas are enough for me to disappear into my world of happiness!!




I love to do and learn various types of art and crafts, hence this time I tried some stone painting.
In this video, I am sharing 5 different styles of painting stones/rocks and they turned out pretty cool.



These painted stones can be used in many different ways like as a beautiful home decor, as a personalized gift for someone special, could be placed in different plants/herbs by mentioning that specific plant/herb name on stones, etc... options are endless :)

Different styles of painting stones:




Using Acrylic colours: I have painted a stone in Minion style by using acrylic colour and brushes, you can paint anything you wish using acrylic colors.










Using Sharpie permanent markers: Using just sharpie permanent markers I have painted cherry fruit on stone. Sharpie permanent markers works best on white or light shaded stone.









Using Acrylic colours and sponge: In this technique, I have given some texture to my stone using acrylic colour and sponge and then adding some text to it give it a personalized touch.






Using Puffy paints: Here, without any planned design or pattern. I gave a base colour to my stone using acrylic colour and then  picked up some puffy paints and started making any pattern which came into my mind at that time. This one turned out pretty cool.






Using Glitter: Finally!! using glitter powder and mod-podge I have given a very shiny effect to one stone.. after all how can any home decor item could finish without having something sparkly in it.



So, paint your imagination on a natural canvas this time and have fun :)

I hope you liked this!!

I got this plain wooden photo frame for this project from Michaels craft store. Using matte finish acrylic paints I have painted the front portion of the frame in rainbow theme by only replacing the Indigo colour with the pink one.

DIY: Travel tote bag



It's always good to keep an extra tote bag, whenever you travel... because we never know how much shopping we will end up doing ;)

Hey loves,
In this post, I am sharing my newest Travel tote bag.. which you can actually DIY yourself.

So, Let's get started..

Materials required:

  1. Plain tote bag
  2. Acrylic colours'
  3. Card stock paper
  4. Water
  5. Colour palette
  6. Brushes
  7. sponge
  8. Pencil


Step 1: Place a Card stock paper or plastic bag inside the bag to protect the other side of the bag.

Step 2: Dip the sponge in water and apply it on the bag to make the bag slightly wet. This will help us in creating perfect shading for the background.

Step 3: Take some light blue colour in the brush and dip the same brush little bit in water and start painting on the bag. You can increase/decrease the intake of water in this process depending on how opaque/ transparent you want your background on the bag. Cover the whole front portion of the bag and keep it aside for drying completely for the next step.

Step 4: When the bag has dried completely.  Draw all travel essentials on a travel tote bag using a pencil.. to make it more easy you can even refer images from Google like I did for an aeroplane.

Step 5: It's the most fun part.. Colouring all the masterpieces you have drawn your bag.. So go ahead and be colourful.
