With the changes in technology, it is very sad to say but books are becoming redundant with the new generation. With the invention of E-readers, Ipads and Bluetooth headphones paper books will soon become a thing of the past. The good old days of holding a book are becoming a rare sight.
I was browsing Pinterest the other day and came across a similar horseshoe towel rack. I clicked on the link had a quick look and then carried on browsing. Next thing I know my Newsfeed is flooded with horseshoe towel racks. So I took it as a sign that I should build one and give it my own unique touch.
I have been trying to make the final photos of my DIY projects more appealing to the eye. To do this I have been making some props to go with my photos. A while ago I decorated some books in a steampunk style to enhance my photos. And I have recently been asked how I made them. So I wanted to share with you the method I used to make these steampunk books.
I was recently given a few wooden pallets to make projects out from. They are a very cheap way to make projects because most of the time you can get the pallets for free. But there is a downside to working with them, the main one is you need to be Hercules to get them apart. I always thought I was strong until I tackled a pallet.
I am in the process of redecorating my spare room in a Steampunk theme, and no bedroom would be complete without a Lamp. So here is my version of a steampunk lamp with an added feature of a mixed media makeover. These lamps are made using galvanized or brass pipes and fitting and you can be as creative as you like with the design.
For the last few weeks, Pinterest has been flooding my newsfeed with DIY bird Feeders so I took it as a sign to make one. I am not a big fan of birds, but my sister loves them. On a daily basis, she has loads of king parrots that come to her house for feeding. She has been feeding them for so many years now they will even eat out of her hands.
Having a little great-niece that comes to visit on a regular basis I am inspired to try and make projects to entertain her. I have recently made a toddler’s craft table so I needed a zebra bench to go with it.
