Everybody loves a nice piece of jewelry. If you own some spectacular ones, you wouldn’t want them to lay all clumped-up in a drawer. But what if you found yourself short on jewelry stands? Well, you can make one for yourself right at home. And you don’t have to buy expensive materials and tools to fashion it. Make sure you have some rubber gloves (like washing gloves), plaster liquid, a piece of wood board to act like a holder for the glove, and some patience.

The tricky part is making plaster. You can try mixing 2 cups of warm water and 3 cups of white flour and stir in order to form a paste without lumps in it. You could also try mixing glue (2 parts) with water (1 part), and continuing to add water in the stirring process until your blend becomes soupy, but with little gluey consistency. You then take the glove and place it through the wooden board and gently pour the plaster in it. When it’s full, just put the board in a place where the plaster can harden. After that, you just rip the glove off your brand new all-white jewelry stand.

Cute Hot Dog

Making food more funs by decorating it is one sure way to sell off your dish. Smiling omelette, cat-shaped cake, or snowman looking vegetables, people are really trying to show some creativity when it comes to their cooking. Nobody says you have to do this as well, but if you like to add a little spark to the boring look of normal food, you will need to have:

a knife;
hot-dog sausages;
classic bread dough;
(optional) a bread machine;
black beans;
mustard;

Sure, you can go all DIY and make your own bread in this process. Using the modern approach – with a bread machine – or the traditional way – with the help of your hands, some dough and an oven – you will have your homemade hot-dog bread in no time. Take the dough and turn it into as many pieces of hot-dog buns you like and then let them rise for some 15 minutes. Then take the knife and wield it to make ears for the dog. Let the composition rise for some time in a warm place. When the dough has doubled in size, fashion eyes and nose from the black beans and throw them into the oven at 400 degrees F, for 10 minutes. Cut the buns open and place the boiled or fried sausages along some mustard. Enjoy!

DIY Nail Art

Making art is very easy nowadays, with the DIY movement growing stronger in numbers by the day. Today it's all about personalizing your style with art. And your nails are the perfect temporary canvas for this. In just 6 simple steps, you can transform an ordinary nail coloring to an extravagant yet elegant artwork. First of all, color your nail. After the paint has dried up, take a pair of scissors and cut some bandage tape. Place the strips in a way that the color visible from the gaps is geometrically pleasing and art oriented. You can see triangle like forms in the image, but you can experiment with whatever shape you desire; after all, art like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Then, the next step is to paint over the nail (with the strips still taped on) with a different contrasting color. Remove the bandage tape. Add a small dot with the tip of to nail brush to finish your artwork.

Decorative Mirror With Egg Cartons

Here is a DIY project idea which is easy, fun and also environmentally friendly as it is a recycling project. We’ll show you how to make a floral mirror out of egg cartons. Easy and really cheap, as most of you already have the egg cartons in your home which you were probably thinking of throwing away. But this tutorial will make you think twice about that. So here is what you’ll need for the project:

12 cup egg cartons (in case you are making a small mirror you’ll only need 5),
hot glue gun with glue sticks,
a mirror tile or a small mirror without the frame,
3mm MDF,
paint,
scissors,
drill and hanging wire.

Firstly you will have to cut the cups of the egg cartons. Cut into each corner of the cup 1 slit and cut each piece in a way that it forms a petal. Then repeat this step, thus creating more roses. Then make a third cup, but this time cut the petal smaller, and roll them so they make a bud shape. Take your hot glue and glue these 3 petals together. On top put a layer made out of smaller petals. Repeat the entire process until you have enough roses to cover the sides (frame) of the mirror. You can either spray the roses with paint, choose the color you like or leave them like this, it’s your choice. If spraying, let them dry.
Now take the MDF and measures its sides in order to cut 3cm across it. Trace a line and join the marks to make a triangle. Then you just have to place your mirror in the center of it, trace it around and remove. On the top of the mirror drill 2 holes and place a hanging wire through the holes. Then secure it and paint the border made out of MDF. Next on you’ll need to glue the mirror, so it remains in that place. Than starting from one side, glue the roses to the mirror, try to place the petals as close as possible, this way you won’t leave any gaps. Continue doing this until your whole frame is covered.
