Do you look at photos from other DIY Bloggers and get photo envy? I do all the time, they have such beautiful stage photos, they put mine to shame. In a bid to improve my photos I wanted to make some photography props for staging. Because I am steampunk mad at the moment, a steampunk prop camera was first on my list.
All my projects are made from recycled materials and on finding this table I was not sure at first what I was going to do with it. My daughter had just bought a beauty bar and loved the idea of having all her makeup and beauty supplies in one place. So that was what I decided to do, It would be a makeup beauty bar as they are called in Australia.
I always like to joke that I love wine and that they don’t make a glass big enough for me. So a few years back my friends bought me two of theses 1-litre wine glasses as a joke gift. The funny thing was the glasses were too big and heavy for me to hold, so they got pushed to the back of the cupboard. So with Halloween coming up, I thought I would upcycle them into A Halloween skull goblet that can be used a decoration on the table.
Yes, you guessed it, I am back again with another steampunk project. I have wanted to try and make a steampunk hat for a long time now but had no idea where to start. I was recently cleaning out my shed and found this empty bucket that I used for storing bits and bobs. Straight away a steampunk hat popped into my head, so I thought I would give it a try.
Have you ever walked into a shoe store and seen a great pair of shoes and they are reduced to $10 so you have to have them. You get home and put them on to find standing still in them is all you are capable of doing. That is what happened with these shoes, they were too high and I could not walk a step in them. I hated the idea of them going to waste so I gave them a makeover into a Stiletto ring holder. I am sure most of us ladies would love one of these Stiletto Ring Holders sitting on our dressers.
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.
