How To Make DIY Sequin Art

I'm hence excited to present ya'll my latest trivial creation...my DIY sequin fine art I made out of an erstwhile slice of thrift shop art.

Here's what it looked similar when I outset brought it home. Like a trivial magenta fourth dimension capsule similar a shot from 1991.



Luckily, it was solely a few bucks, as well as it was a custom framed impress amongst a dainty shape as well as expert size mat. I knew it would endure perfect for what I had inwards mind.

It was super slow to make, too. All y'all ask is a argent spray paint, white spray paint, a frame, a mat, to a greater extent than or less paper, hot glue, as well as to a greater extent than or less sequins.

First, stimulate got apart your frame, as well as disassemble all of the pieces.

 

Next, spray pigment the frame silver, spray pigment the mat white, as well as hence purpose the backside of the erstwhile fine art for your novel art. I chose to use Rust-Oleum Flat White for the mat hence that it wouldn't stick to the glass. I've had problems amongst that before, as well as stimulate got institute that apartment white spray pigment plant dandy for this.

Spray paradigm outdated fine art mats is such a dandy agency to relieve money, as well as I practice it all the fourth dimension now!

Now for the art. I institute it helpful to describe a trivial direct on the backside of artwork. The master copy impress was genuinely glued to a foamboard, hence it was the perfect surface for my novel art.

You tin genuinely pattern whatever shape or pattern y'all want. I chose to brand a herringbone pattern. I sketched out my pattern amongst a pen, using a ruler to help. No i volition e'er run across your lines, hence don't worry most messing up.

Next, I gathered my supplies: sequins, paper, ribbon, as well as hotglue.



 

Hotglue your sequins on first. Start from the bottom row as well as hence run your agency up, overlapping from left to right, as well as overlapping each layer vertically.

Then, cutting stripes of newspaper (I used an exacto knife) to jibe the adjacent row. Glue those on every bit well. This volition encompass upward parts of your concluding row of sequins as well as brand a dainty build clean line.

I chose to trim down everything amongst argent ribbon, too. It gave it a dainty finished look.



Then, pose the mat dorsum on, insert your novel fine art dorsum into the frame, as well as voila! Some chic novel fine art for pennies on the dollar!

I absolutely dearest the agency it turned out!

That's all for today!

Thanks hence much for stopping by! Don't forget to pivot this post hence y'all tin notice it adjacent fourth dimension y'all ask it!

Keepin' It Real: Never Before Seen Parts of My House!

If you've come upward hither today looking for the white pigment as well as pretty things you lot unremarkably see, you lot powerfulness live inwards for a fleck of a shock. Just to concur you lot over, here's a quick dose to larn you lot through.

Because at that spot volition live no to a greater extent than of that today. Today volition live the twenty-four hr menstruation of sharing the less-than-perfect side of our house....what's behind those doors nosotros nigh when people come upward over. Wink.

Why? Well, because it's kinda fun, as well as ya'll seem to beloved it when I overstep away along it real. 

So this is my keepin' it existent post.

My solid is far from perfect. It's thirty years erstwhile as well as volition probable live a locomote inwards progress for the adjacent thirty years. But I'm okay alongside that. 

Also, I'm far from perfect. I've been known to exit materials inwards the washing machine also long as well as plow into Miss Mildew. Or throw a one-half eaten loving cup of chili inwards the dishwasher as well as taste bean-remnant-dishware for a week. 

And I'm okay alongside that, too.

We all receive got our talents as well as limitations. 

You larn the point.

So, here's some pics taken inwards the past times 2 years that I consider pretty decent evidence....with a few random pics thrown inwards the mix.

First up, our garage. I've never fifty-fifty parked inwards it. Mostly because the garage doors solely opened upward past times agency of Ahhhnold, but also because it's where spiders come upward to PARTY. Brace yourselves for the most pin-worthy moving-picture exhibit inwards all of blogland.

My hubby is a fleck of a broken-down-boat-hoarder. None of them work, but he seems to taste short alongside them. And that's okay past times me....since he let's me fill upward our solid alongside sequins as well as ruffles as well as white paint.

 This was a fairly normal persuasion of my driveway during the summer. I think he was trying to salvage all three, but solely 1.5 survived. His boat adventures weren't also fruitful this summer, but I beloved a human being willing to larn his hands dirty. 

He loves boats. I beloved paint. And nosotros both allow each other exercise what nosotros desire alongside them.

Like how he doesn't seem to hear when I spray pigment the yard when I'm too busy to abide by a tarp. I mean, it's much easier to precisely choice the bugs out of the paint, right? I'm pretty certain my neighbors actually appreciate my yard beautification attempts.

A daughter tin solely exercise hence much at once!!! 

 I spray pigment SO much materials that I tend to larn a wild pilus as well as precisely exercise THAT. I ever say myself 'Eh...the pelting volition launder it away.'. And hence a calendar month later, there's withal a pigment political party inwards my yard. 

I'm a locomote inwards progress. 

Next up, Meet Rhonda. 

It's okay to live scared. I used to ain an online vesture shop before I blogged as well as this was my 'model' for all the pictures. Afterwards, I couldn't bare to larn rid of her. She's precisely also sassy. And she's ever ending upward inwards random locations or freaking mortal out. I receive got NO thought why she was inwards the hallway inwards this picture. That pic is most 2 years erstwhile (back from when nosotros painted the hallway), as well as I precisely can't shout back what she was upward to at the time. Vogue-ing, probably.

This adjacent moving-picture exhibit is a quick reminder of how much I beloved my kitties....you'll come across why a reminder is needed. I receive got 2 kitties: Tootie as well as Cheese. They are sisters from some other mister. 

Anyways, I beloved them hence much that Cheese is my screensaver on my phone. She's a beauty isn't, she?

Well, it's a expert affair she's seduced us alongside her beauty as well as purrs, because she is also a house-destroyer. 

Welcome to the basement bedroom. One twenty-four hr menstruation I would beloved to brand this into a invitee suite (it has an attached bathroom) or into a arts and crafts room or gym. But for now, it's the cat-poo-room, consummate alongside ripped-up carpets, neverending carpeting glue, as well as a fun smell. :)

It's on my to-do list.  

Last but non least, I'll demonstrate my organizational prowess. You know how every blogger posts most their fabulous stenciled pantry, consummate alongside 995 fancy drinking glass jars each labeled to perfection? 

Well, here's my designer pantry....complete alongside pigment cans, drills, exacto knives, as well as plenty saltines to soak upward a modest pond.

Now you lot know why I've never posted most my 'Pantry Reveal!!!'. One twenty-four hr menstruation I shall conquer this nightmare! One day! My refrigerator used to live every bit ridiculous, but this past times weekend I completely gutted it.

Here's a somewhat redeeming moving-picture exhibit of my organized fridge. This gives me promise for the pantry.

There's ever hope. Always.

Ya' precisely gotta get-go somewhere.
