A Random DIY day

Image
DIY's are always fun , even though I fail at them many times still , I won't stop painting around random objects. Yesterday , I painted this kullad I randomly found to convert it into a pen stand kind of thing. I used acrylic colours and brustro fineliners. and finally, This was a really simple DIY and it took me around one hour to do this one. This kullad can now be used as a pen stand or maybe a tissue Holder. Previously , I customized an ugly pair of shoes -  https://delightedhumans.blogspot.com/2020/01/create-cool-stuff-with-absolute-trash.html?m=1 Do you have a DIY you want to show to the world ?

My metro card lies in one corner of my messy almirah , it hasn't travelled for days. I definitely miss the frequent trips to Nehru Place , McDonald's and dilli ke momos and random trips around the city with my college friends.  Now , we have been quarantined for so long that mental health is not even a thing anymore. Desperately waiting for everything to be normal again. Check out my YouTube Channel-  https://youtu.be/KcQIg33h4wE
