What I Made Wednesday: Gold Accent Bowl DIY

Gold Accent Bowl

Found this weeks DIY through my sisters blog SimplyWorned. A cute accent bowl to use for anything such as loose jewelry or knick knacks. It doesn't take long to make and there is no limit as to how many you can make to decorate your humble abode!

Materials Needed:

• Gold Spray Paint - I used Krylon Short Cuts. Purchased from Walmart for under $5.
• Scotch Tape - Any kind.
• A White Bowl - The bowl I used was ceramic (I think). I don't think glass would work as well.
• Some sort of newspaper or tissue paper.

Make sure to lay out your paper on a flat service  enough  to cover your work area. Take your bowl and carefully put tape around the edges so that your paint won't drip over the edges of your bowl.

Begin to spray the inside of your bowl. Be careful not to spray too close as this will cause drip marks. Let the first coat dry and spray another coat to add a nice finish and cover up any missed places.

Once the second coat dries carefully remove the tape from around the edges of the bowl.

Place your bowl anywhere and fill it up with treasures!

What I Made Wednesday: Magazine Box DIY

I love magazines! Especially the fact that I have 13 subscriptions and I only pay a total of $10 for two, the rest are FREE! Of course with so many magazines there can be a lot of clutter. I decided one day to go buy multiple magazine holders but my mom suggested I make my own, and thus my magazine box was born.

What you'll need:

A box or boxes 

shelf liner

scissors

a flat service

I used some plain Staples boxes. They have lids and you can either use this as a part of the project or recycle it. I purchased my shelf liner from Marshall's. It was $5.99 and comes with a pretty decent amount on the roll for the price and they have multiple designs to choose from. 

The box is simple to make and should take no time. You'll want to start by laying the shelf liner flat and placing the box right side up. Measure enough shelf liner to cover both sides of the box when folded up. 

You would then remove the paper to expose the adhesive and gently place the box on top and then smoothing the liner up the sides of the box. You will still have some box exposed which is simple to cover with extra liner. Cut the appropriate amount needed and smooth over the longer sides of the box.

It's not necessary to cover the inside unless you would like the appearance of the design on the inside as well. Once all sides are covered the box should look like so.

After the box is complete place your magazines inside and admire all your hard work!

Hello!

Hello All!

I have really been contemplating whether I wanted to continue on my blog journey. I do very much love entertainment and everything it has to offer but there are so many other sources to derive information that I feel as if I am lost in the entertainment whirlwind. So with that being said I am going to revamp my blog as far as content, in hopes that I can draw a bigger audience. I do appreciate those who subscribe now and I love you guys for it but I want to make my blog the best it can be for you and so a little change may be necessary. I hope you will continue to tune in and see what is new. After all a ninjah has many thoughts...

Love, Tamarra
