Do It Yourself Projects

Websites like Pintrest have been increasing in popularity over the last few years. On pintrest there are categories such as food and drinks, DIY, fashion and hair. In this blog I will show you some of the DIY (do it yourself) projects that I have found on pinterest and tried out. Some have worked out really well and some were a bit harder than I thought they would be.

First of all most of the recipes found on pintrest work out most of the time for me if they are something that is fairly simple. With the exception of the really crafty things (I am not very crafty or artsy). My friend, Emily and I made a whole 5 course dinner from recipes on pintrest one night because we were bored and it turned out to be very good.

I have tried some things that haven't turned out as well as I would have hoped. I made a  plate/serving tray.As you can tell what I got is far from what should happened. All that you have to do to try to do this is place mints on to a pan with some parchment paper on it and put it in the oven for about 8-10 minutes.

The top picture is what it was supposed to look like and the bottom is what I got.

The next project is a calender made out of paint samples and a picture frame. All you have to do for this one is get the colors that you want for the days of the week, a picture frame and a white piece of paper. After that you just lay out the days in the way that you want it and glue them on to the white paper. Then you put it in to the frame and you are done. This is really easy and fun to do.  I gave it to my parents as a gift because all of the colors match my house and my dad owns a painting company.

The next project is making a tank top out of an old t shirt. The only things that you need to do this are an old tshirt and some fabric scissors. To do this you have to cut off the sleeves of the shirt, the neck line and the hem at the bottom. Then you cut the back as low and as revealing as you want. The next thing you have to do is take the bottom piece of the shirt that you cut off and stretch it out so it is a long piece. Then you take the back of the shirt and pull it together and tie it by wrapping it around and knotting it with the long piece.
