Happy DIY- Paw Heart

Hey there beautiful you

Today is a special post, I think is one of my favorite, a cute DIY and a lot of fun with my babies Hera and Lili. First I will show you how to transform an old sweater to a cute cool happy awesome one. First you need the sweater, of course, then scissors, a piece of fabric, and here I have a nice paw fabric (me=dog freak) which you will cut in the shape of a heart, needle and thread and a lot of support, like I had from Lili, as you can see she was "all eyes on me" :))

The things that you need.....

And the result is that: happy happy joy joy:). I was thinking to make only one photo with the result but I couldn't resist when I saw that we are in  a mood of playing so we made a small photo session. No animal ore human being was harmed on this session :)

"Hei you are hurting my arm....I was faking just" :)

And some loooveee....

Who are the cutest babies on the world? Yes you are...

I don;t know which one is more crazy :)

The classic :)

DIY: painted mug/cup

You are out of ideas of what gift you should make to a close person? I am going to give you one simple tip: painted mug/cup. It's easy fun and you can customize depending of the person's hobbies, wishes. You are going to need a porcelain marker and a cup or a mug, you can make it on a plates or other porcelain things.

Practice you skills of painter and start drawing something nice. I chose of course a cute drawing with a dog.

And this is is, simple and fun, right? So try it for you own , it's worth it :)

DIY: Funny cardigan with cat pockets

Good day to all of you, today I am going to show you a simple and cute DIY project of how you can transform a boring old cardigan in to a funny one. It's quite easy and practical.

You are going to need: a cardigan (of course), a piece of fabric (I chose something with dot print, one of my favorite), a paper pattern (I chose a cat face but you can choose whatever you wish to have printed on your cardigan), scissors, thread and needle and buttons (for the eyes).

First we scrap the kitty faces from the fabric with the help of the pattern and then we start to sew the cat pockets (don't forget to sew the eyes also and the mouth).

It is very important to be assisted  by a furry face :) I am lucky to have a foxy dog near me, she was "all eyes on me" as you can see :)

And this is it, you have now a brand new cute cardigan with 2 kitty pocket faces.

You can hide some tips inside the pockets for some shopping days :)

What have I done lately

 

Lately I wasn't so productive but still I got a little time to make something creative like "The girl from Paris" drawing and painted a simple clock which I bought it from Ikea.

The first drawing I think you already know it from older posts but I just wanted to show you how nice it look in frame. The frame I bought it from Ikea also with almost 1,50 euros. Pretty cheap right?

Next I've painted my clock which was all white in pretty dots. Short and sweet! The hardest part is to waith the paint to dry;)

Then I made a drawing for a friend of mine that wished for a long time to have a french flavor drawing. The theme I found it by Internet, I've used black ink and acrylics on A4 paper.

Hope you had a great weekend!

DIY: Decorative pear

Hi to all of you deers:). today i am going to show you how can you make an easy deco object: a decorative pear.
So you are going to need:

Now you can start like this:





Be careful, you can get all sticky from the amount of the glue, the string should be good fixed.



It looks nice right? in this phase you can make even a doll (maybe I will make it in another DIY project) attache some eyes, draw a nose and a mouth and some hair and tadam:)



And this is that final result, pretty easy right?

DIY-Braided wreath hair

Because I had many suggestions of making a tutorial of this kind of hairstyle (I like to wear my hair like that and most of the girl wish to make it too) today I've decided that is the moment. I have to tell you, it was really hard to make this wreath braided hair and to make myself pictures, but with patient I did it!! Yeyy!! So, this is not so difficult to make it (even I know that it looks like it is) and I hope that you understand something from my pictures.

Let's start ,shall we?



First, take your hair on a left part or right (is up to you), it will look better like this, and the wreath will be more "out", let's say like that!


From that side take 3 strands of hair just from the middle of that part of the head (in my case , left) and start make regular braided hair (the most simple one), make 1/4 of the strand


Like in the picture below lift the braided strand up, and know from the 3 strand that you have in the braid make 2 (so unite two and let one).





And now, take the near strand and make a normal braided hair from this new strand and with the other that you already have it in your other hand. Make two "rounds" of normal braid hair, and then do the same like the first strand ( from 3 make 2; unite two and let one).

Repeat this since you got to the end of the oposite part of your hair, and when you see that you got a nice braided wreath hair. For sure it wouldn't happen to be everything ok from the first time but you have to practice, and then you will realise that is a pice of cake:)



After that you can do whatever do you want, like gather your hair in a one side tail;



Or one side hair bun!! It's up to you!


I hope that I was helpfull for you and if you have any questions don't hesitate to put a comment or leave me an email!!

Stay beautiful, Murmu

A peek inside my work

Yellow to everyone!! Astazi m-am gandit sa dechis atelierul meu de creatii si sa va las si pe voi sa trageti cu ochiul la ceea ce am lucrat zilele astea, mai precis sambata si duminica: un set de 6 brose care mai de care mai simpatice (zic eu:P) facute dapa aceeasi tehnica ca precedentele. Am sa va prezint pe rand pasii molcomi pana la produsul finit...brosa din ceramica cu dantela made by Murmu:). Sa incepem zic:

1. First avem nevoie de : ceramica aerata (eu am primit-o din Germania, insa cred ca se gaseste si la noi pe piata), este foarte moale si usor de modelat, cu putin ajutor din partea apei.Dupa care modelam cercuri, le presam si cu ajutorul unui capac de Lenor:))))) am redat forma finala. (Pentru a nu se lipi de suport am folosit o lama de cater si o bagheta de lemn cu varf).


2. Then, asamblam suportul de brosa cu ajutorul aceleasi ceramici si a apei ptr o mai buna coaptare, apoi dupa ce am facut asta la fiecare brosa ne uitam pe maini si vedem asa ceva:))(like in the picture) ai senzajtia ca iti cad degetele imediat insa mie imi place:))). Apoi le lasam la "dospit" 24 de ore pentru intarire.. Noapte buna....:)

3. Ok, buna dimineata!! Brosele noastre sunt gata de a devenii bijuterii right?Righhhttt!! So, pasul urmator: desenul. Poti opta pentru: tus negru (pentru contur si nu numai), acrilice, carioci, cam orice..insa cel mai fain ies in tus si acrilice, cel putin pentru mine.


4. Pictam fondul cu acrilice..like in the picture....


5. dupa care aplicam un adeziv f bun, in cazul meu "Bison" se preteaza a fi cel mai bun pana acuma, pe marginile brosei cu grija...asteptam cam 2 minute si apoi lipim dantela sau panglica





6. cu multa rabdare deoarece este un pas cam nesuferit (ti se lipesc degetele , trebuie sa apesi bine pe dantela ca sa stea bine)


7. Et voila....we did it..nervii au iesit pe fereastra:))

8. Then, lacuim brosa pentru un aspect placut shinny
And voila...brosele sunt gata de purtat in pieptul unor domnite!! Sper ca va placut la mine in "atelier" si de ce nu..poate a fost si productiv!! VA URMA!!:)

Love, Murmu
