When it comes to gifting things to the people we love, we are
sure you won’t feel any surprise at all to learn that we’re
massive fans of making things ourselves whenever we can. Of course,
we also value the thought that goes into store bought gifts,
whether we are giving or receiving, but we just get such a great
sense of satisfaction watching our friends and family’s faces
light up when they open something we made for them ourselves!
Sometimes, however, a gift that we purchased rather than something
we made is simply the best idea, but that does not mean we can not
get crafty with the gifting process in some capacity. Lately, we
have been completely obsessed with the idea of making our own gift
wrap, particularly when it comes to gift boxes!
If you are going to go to the trouble of making
DIY gift set
and homemade gift box, would you rather go all out and make it
incredibly special, like something the recipient might want to keep
and continue to use? Then we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at
how creative ideas made this stunning closing box features layered
tiers for different gifts and trinkets. Besides that useful
feature, the way they decorated the outside of the box with lace,
pearls, and flowers is nothing short of gorgeous! If we received
this box, we’d use it as a jewelry box and place it on our
dresser.
By now you’ve probably seen one of the most popular trends for
coloring hair: hair
chalk! From runways and music festivals to Halloween and fun
nights out with friends, hair chalk is a go-to for adding a quick
dab of color to hair both easily and affordably.
Hair
chalk pen is a stick of color, similar to regular chalk, but
is given its color by mixing a variety of ingredients together.
While hairstylists and suppliers have their own process of making
it, the typical ingredients are mixed with dry pigment, some chalk,
and a binder, according to Thaneeya McArdle, a pastel artist at Art
Is Fun. While you theoretically could use regular chalk on your
hair, it wouldn’t have the same colorful effect or work the same
way chalk made specifically for hair works.
Whether it is occupying the kids during school holidays with
rock painting or just decorating everyday household possessions,
acrylic paint marker
pens have huge appeal. In fact, some prefer them over traditional
artist acrylic painting using a brush and palette. Why is this so?
And what makes a good acrylic paint pen set?
You will have come across oil-based paint pens if you’ve ever
used a pen where you have to vigorously shake the pen so the ball
bearing can mix the paint with the oil before use. Being oil
solvent based, these markers leave a strong odour and are,
therefore, not ideal for (or around) children or for use in poorly
ventilated areas. Oil-based markers will take much longer to dry
than acrylic ones. Though they can be used on similar surfaces to
their acrylic counterparts, oil-based markers will behave slightly
differently. The paint tends to sit slightly better on porous
surfaces and offers the advantage of not having to be ‘sealed’
(more on this later). That said, on non-porous surfaces, such as
paper and card, they are more susceptible to bleeding on the
surface.
Acrylic is a favored painting medium for both beginners and
professionals alike for its easy setup, quick-drying properties,
and malleable nature. Made out of pigments suspended in acrylic
polymer, acrylic paint is water-soluble but becomes water-resistant
when dry. A highly flexible paint medium, acrylic will provide a
crisp, graphic paint edge that can be easily used to create thick
paint strokes or thin washes, and it is suitable for use on a wide
range of surfaces. Depending on your project ambitions, you will
want to consider key factors such as color saturation and
selection, permanence and finish, as well as viscosity and
malleability. Our picks below will help you find the right acrylic
paint set for your
needs.
