Ways to recycle glass stuff part 2

Hellooo!! Welcome to Ways to recycle glass stuff part 2. This is just a continuation of the previous blog. So enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Plain glasses
These are just plain clear old glasses. These can be used to store pencils, pens, brushes, etc. They look really pretty, especially if you want to store colourful stuff like colour pencils.









BOWLS 

This segment is specially dedicated to all glass bowls that have been rejected by you. 

1) Fish Bowls 

Yes, I do use empty fish bowls to decorate my room. They actually don't look bad. I used them to store random objects like body scrubs, thick thread, pebbles, etc. I put some cotton at the bottom so 
that the bottom of the bowl doesn't break when I throw random things inside.

2) The Jewellery Bowl


They are cool ways to store your favourite pieces of jewellery. I particularly like storing metallic jewellery in bowls like this one.





Can you spot the owl?





                  


5) Art bowls


This is basically like the jewellery bowl except you store artsy stuff in. It helps if you have a bowl set of 3-4 bowls that you don't really like. These are pretty, useful and they make you seem organized.









Thats all, I am out of ideas sooo.........Bye!! = D

Ways to recycle glass stuff!!

I have a new obsession with stuff made of glass. I just have a few ways to recycle your old glasses into easy DIY decorations for your room. So here we go!!


1) The Grainy Jar

I have no idea why I just called it that. Anyhow....



This is so easy to make. All you need is a bottle, preferably an airtight one, or you could just use a cork stopper. You will also need a few grains. I used pink lentil (I have no clue why it is called so !! ) and some rice. If you are using a bottle with a narrow mouth you might want to use a paper funnel.



2) The Scented Glass

I need to come up with better names but I called this one the scented glass because it smells amazing. Once upon a time someone gave me a gift, I liked how it smelt , but I didn't like the colour of the jar so I took out the potpourri and put it in a normal glass and Ta-da !





Its the glass which the teddy has its hand on :D





The fragrance thingy....which you can probably find in any supermarket.







3) Mini Jar

 I call it the mini jar because it is so small and so cute. I used it to store the small beads that I like.





Yes! that is a Hidesign tag. I find them pretty useful at times.



You could also use small jars like these to store bobby pins or rubber bands.

4) Old Jars


All these jars are of the same design and here are 3 interesting ways to use them.







                                                                    
The first one is a personal favourite 

1) The left one — Store coins. Plain and simple.
2) The grainy jar — Choose your favourite grains.
3) The right one — This is a jar I use to store all my lip balms. I just used a tinted plastic wrapping paper to wrap the jar and then I tied a golden ribbon around its neck to form a cute little bow.

That's all for now !!! Keep smiling :D

DIY Thread Bracelet

And here is another quick DIY that you can do in probably 10 mins. What I love about this one is that you only need 3 things!!



For this you need

1) Thick thread
2) Scissors
3) A clipboard

I feel like I am writing a recipe for some kind of cake :)

1) Measure your wrist and cut 9 pieces of thread, leave about an inch extra for each.Then clump the threads together and tie a overhand knot.
How to tie a overhand knot.


2) Then clip the knot to your clipboard. Divide the threads into three and then braid them.

3)  To finish it of tie another overhand knot. Then just tie it around your wrist and voila!!

DIY Cloth Ring



HI!!! So I made this cloth ring and I really liked it. I think it's like my favourite DIY project, it's just so easy to do and I hope you have as much fun as I did when I made it.


All you need for this is

1)A pebble

2)Acrylic paint(any colour of your choice I just used golden)/nail polish

3)Cloth again any colour you would like to use and

4)Fabric glue


Lets get started!!


1) Measure the size of your finger and cut cloth accordingly . Leave a bit of  extra cloth if you are sewing the two ends of the cloth together.Then just glue or sew both ends of the cloth.

2)Then take  the pebble cover in acrylic paint or nail polish. I personally recommend nail polish. Then just wait for the pebble to dry.

3)Now just stick the coloured pebble on to the cloth. Hold it down for a few seconds.

And we are done!! That's how easy it is have fun making it.

Arbury Cloth Bracelet

So I have a few DIY bracelets ideas that you could try out.I hope you like them. 

Cloth Bracelet

Just take a piece of  black cloth that fits your wrist. Use fabric glue to stick pieces of velcro  on both loose ends. Find a smooth stone or a pebble dip it in acrylic paint, here I used white acrylic paint because I thought it would look good on black. Use a glue to stick the stone/pebble on to the cloth. After that you can  just leave it like that but I just stuck a random charm, on the pebble/stone and that's about it.

6 easy ways to spice up your room



 Colourful items

I get a lot of watch sets as gifts ,you know the ones where you can change straps. The watches stopped working so I was left with the straps. The straps were just so colourful I just couldn't help but display them.

 Old jars

Here I just took a old jar wrapped it in tinted plastic wrap, tied a ribbon around it and voila !
You can store whatever you want to in these. I just put a few lip balms in this one.

   Stuffed toys

  Small or big stuffed toys from your childhood are one of the easiest ways to spice up your bedroom. This stuffed toy, from god knows when is by far my favourite.

                                   


 Candles

Whether just decorative or scented. They just look so pretty when lit. Just don't burn your house.






Colour pencils

I love these pencils ergo I did not want to just stuff them anywhere. They add colour to your room and you don't need to use a special container you can even display them glass glasses. That's confusing ...anyhow you get my point glasses that are made of glass. 


Glass bowls

You can put anything you want to in these. I've just put some dry crayons in this one because there so colourful and as you've probably realized by now I love colour/colourful things. You can also use them to keep a few special bracelets or necklaces.





 A few simple ways to add some spice to your room. If you have pretty bracelets or shells or pebbles or anything like that don't store them in your cupboard bring them out and have some fun with them.
That's all for now . Keep smiling.
