Rainbow photo frame

This DIY video is full of cuteness, colours, rainbow, butterflies and lots of fun!!

Hey Guys, 
Welcome to AnkiNish creations, where we try to bring smile through creativity in everyone's life :)

This video is about painting a plain wooden photo frame. I wanted my photo frame to look very colourful and lively..

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.

Using a butterfly craft punch and glitter pink card stock paper I have punched few butterflies to stick them around the rainbow but you can use any shape craft punch you have.




Now, only think left to do is placing a photograph in the frame and you are done.

I hope you liked this DIY Rainbow photo frame!!

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 ;)

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.

DIY: Clay Pendants

Hey Loves,
Creating something new and unique is always fun and peaceful.
Peaceful!! because, Art and craft gives me peace in life. My mind is probably on work 24*7 thinking about creative ideas and believe me, It does not get tired.

In this post, I am sharing with you the procedure of Clay pendants which are made of Shilpkar(white Mseal), But you can use any air drying clay, which gets hardened after drying.

So, Lets get started...

Materials required are:

1. Shilpkar (white Mseal)
2. Acrylic colours and paint brushes
3. Wooden stamp
4. Talcum powder
5. Cutter
6. Half cutted pearls (Self adhesive pearls)
7. Glue
8. Marker
9. Toothpick for making hole

Carved Pendant

Step 1: Shilpkar comes with two clays, one is resin and other one is hardener. Apply talcum powder to your hand to avoid stickiness of the clay and mix both clays well till you get an even dough. After mixing both clays well, It will turn into white colour. Roll the clay like a ball.

Step 2: Apply talcum powder to the surface where you are going to give shape to the clay. Flatten your clay in an oval shape by pressing the clay with your fingers.

Step 3: Once you get your desired oval shape. Apply talcum powder to the top surface of the clay, so that our wooden stamp will not stick to the clay and come off very easily.

Step 4: Press your wooden stamp on the clay to get carved effect on the pendant.

Step 5: Make a hole on the top of the pendant with the help of toothpick to make the pendant wearable. (Once the clay gets hardened, you will not be able to make a hole afterwards)

Step 6: Time to add pretty colours to the pendants. For giving a royal touch to this one, I am going on with Fevicryl metallic gold acrylic colour for the non carved area of the pendants. You will have to do several coats depending on how opaque you want your pendant to be (let each coat dry completely before starting with next one) and then for colouring the carved area I am using Fevicryl metallic copper and pearl blue colour. Add one pearl in the centre with glue.

Step 7: Let the pendant dry depending on the instructions of your clay. My clay is fast drying so I have to keep it for drying for about 1 hour.

Step 8: Add strings to make it wearable.

Heart Pendant

Step 1: Shilpkar comes with two clays, one is resin and other one is hardener. Apply talcum powder to your hand to avoid stickiness of the clay and mix both clays well till you get an even dough. After mixing both clays well, It will turn into white colour. Roll the clay like a ball.

Step 2: Apply talcum powder to the surface where you are going to give shape to the clay. Flatten your clay in a round shape by pressing the clay with your fingers.

Step 3: With the help of marker or any writing thing draw a heart shape on the clay. You can also use any heart stencils for even more neat and precise heart shape.

Step 4: Cut the heart outline with the help of cutter and smooth out the edges by using flat surface of cutter's blade.

Step 5: Make a hole using a toothpick on the top right of the pendant If you want it to be tilted while wearing, (Once the clay gets hardened, you will not be able to make a hole afterwards)

Step 6: Colour your pendant. I have used Fevicryl pearl green acrylic colour.

Step 7: Add pearls to the pendants as you like.

Step 8: Let the pendant dry depending on the instructions of your clay. My clay is fast drying so I have to keep it for drying for about 1 hour.

Step 9: Add strings to make it wearable.

So, this was the procedure for making clay pendants. I hope you like it.
