This KINDLE COVER is made from the BOX it comes in!!
Sometimes the cases can be real expensive, So why to buy it when we can DIY it..
Many people loves to explore world and read books while being on their journey but sometimes due to miscellaneous reasons it becomes difficult to carry the books which they want to. At that time Kindle comes very handy, in which you can store as many books you want. So, we recently bought a Kindle paperwhite and we love it. It is the best gadget to own while travelling, but it is also important to keep it safe and free from scratches when kept in bag. Being a DIY and Craft lover I had to make it's cover by myself. So in the above linked video you can find a step by step tutorial of how I made my Kindle cover. I hope you liked it and will try it for your Kindle!!

2. FLOWER VASE
This one is the cutest flower vase ever and will be loved by all disney fans.
Step 1: Drink your coffee and remove the sticker using dishwashing soap and warm water. Wear safety gloves so that you don't harm yourself with warm water. Let the dry bottle dry completely after washing it.
Step 2: Using a sponge apply light green acrylic colour all over the outer part of the bottle. Apply second if needed, let the first one dry completely. Sponge makes paint application on glass very easy as compared to paint brush. (see image 1) then let the paint dry completely before moving to step 3.

Step 3: Draw Disney castle using pencil, apply very less pressure while drawing so that the green paint does not come off. and paint your drawn castle with your choice of shades. Again apply very less pressure while painting. Once the paint has dried give black border to the design using black acrylic colour and a very thin brush. (see image 2)
