Storage Organizer - Shoe Boxes

Did you know that storage organizers are pretty much one of 
the most expensive things you can ever buy!?

So here's my quick fix idea for making your own just by 
using your old shoe containers, puzzle boxes etc! 
And you can use these everywhere, 
dressing drawers to keep lingerie and socks apart, 
to keep toiletries,
to keep condiments,
Saves a whole lot of money!

Materials Needed : 
Old Gift Wrapping paper
Fevicol
Squeegee
Varnish

Step 1: 
Stick the gift wrapper on to the shoe box by decoupaging the wrapper.
Just like when you did with :

Step 2:
Varnish it with 2 to 3 coats. 
This helps if you want to wipe it down with a wet cloth.

And you are done!! TADA!!!
Easiest, cheapest gorgeous storage organizers!!

Rustic Ganesha : Restyling a gift thats not to your taste

All of us always run into the habit of getting gifts that are not to our taste.
But they may be valuable, or can become very beautiful with a little nudge from you!
So here goes,
I got this Ganesha as a gift, and I changed it into that! :D

So here goes,
Going for a more minimalistic look here,

Just used some paints and a little varnish here!

This baby by pebeo can make anything metallic, its awesome!!

I first started out by colouring the ganesha completely in a dark rustic brown that made it look flat

When that dried completely, I decided to finish it up by highlighting the Ganesha with gold here and there, and with very little orange and white so that it completely stands out!

 


In the end, just add a couple of tassels and rock the look of the new Ganesha! :D

 


NOTE : The Gold I have used here specifically is an antique gold colour from camlin series. It gives a rustic look!
