DIY: Makeup box

During wedding one of the major unavoidable expenditure is on The sweets box and invitation cards that are to be sent to near and dear one's.And what happens when we receive a box we shift sweets to a container, keep the card aside and throw off the box in bin. The box which was made with effort,love and lot of money ultimately finds it place in garbage.

I received one such box which was hot pink in color and sturdy. I basically did not want to throw it so this is what I did; converted it in a makeup box yaaaaayyy !! Have a look.

Before that, 3 points to keep in mind while doing this DIY:
1. Make sure the box is sturdy enough.
2. More the number of compartments, more organised the stuff will be.
3. Opt for some bright color or decorate the outer area to make it more girly and cute. 



I forgot to click the before pictures to show how the box looked before I did all my alterations. But I shall explain to give an overview of what have I done. Left partition had sweets and right one had 2 Invite cards placed on top of built in box.
For the left one all I had to do was take out all the sweets and for right one I hat to cut the built in box using scissor and the placed a plain thick sheet below.




And now I have all my lipsticks etc in left compartment and right one has cotton balls, brushes and sponges. So all in all when I need to get ready I take out the box, select what all to use and done.I am ready.

DIY- Old to new

Hey girlies,
How is summer treating you. For now I am dealing with my weight gain and  working supper hard on it.Any tips, please leave in comments below.
Also, my servant is on off for 2 complete months or may be more[no return date fixed :(] ! So I am in a total mess. All the housewives can surely connect to me. Right ? There are endless tasks to be done at home which leaves me super drained to switch on lappy at night.

Anyways, today in morning only I decided to this post that has been in my mind for more than a month now. Its a simple DIY post. You might have seen much more creative post so this might seem boring to you but its my first experience at DIY so needs to be shared with you lovely people.

I bought these flats and a pair of heels a year back. Even though I did not wear them much they lost all their charm and got faded. I did not want to throw them away so this is what I did,



Now how I did it, Simple :

1. Got a navy blue spray paint; hard to find one. Black and browns are easily available. You can find them at woodland or reliance footwear's store

2. Make sure you maintain a distance while spraying and also, lay down a newspaper on floor so as not mess up floor.

3. I did not use any tape to protect the chain detailing on shoes from getting colored, it was difficult to do it that way. What I did was sprayed the paint on sponge and painted the shoes using it as a brush.



And here is the end result, shining like new. next trial would be on heels now.
