*** Arteira e Prendada *** How To Mix Chalkboard Paint in Any Color We love using chalkboards as backdrops for displays and parties (like this one here!). So we were super excited to learn that you can create your own custom colors-and it's really easy! We first learned how from Martha Stewart whose tutorial you can read here. She recommends that you use latex paint, but we tried it out with acrylic paints with much success. Here's how you too can create your own chalkboard paint... Supplies: 1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!) 1. 2. Once your chalkboard has fully dried be sure to slate the surface before using it for the first time. Have fun creating any color combination you like!!
DIY BEC & BRIDGE INSPIRED OMBRE TEE 21st December 2011 I recently got carried away ombre dying practically everything in my wardrobe. In addition to the ombre mini I did for Harper’s BAZAAR last week, this tee (on the left) is one of my other projects, inspired by none other than the stunning High Summer Bec & Bridge collection. I’m not going to lie, the process I used was identical to that of the ombre mini I made and posted about over at Harper’s BAZAAR, but I really wanted to show you this little piece. For those of you who didn’t catch my tutorial, check out my instructions below. You Need: - A white tee (mine is from H&M) - Purple dye - Salt - Bucket - Water How to: 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. On a side note, can we talk for a second about that lilac akubra?
Oh Happy Day! Candy Crush Emergency Kit: One Artsy MamaOne Artsy Mama Fess up, friends. Either you or someone you care about is addicted to Candy Crush. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re one of the lucky few, and you better drop your smartphone and RUN. Run fast, run far, and don’t ever start playing this game, because once you do, you’ll become addicted too. It looks harmless enough with its happy little candies, doesn’t it? But oooh, boy, then you hit a level like 30. That’s when you need…the Candy Crush Emergency Kit. Make one for yourself or for a friend who needs an intervention! You need:- a small glass jar {mine was less than $2 at Walmart in the aisle where the dishes are} - assorted candy {I used chewy Spree} - twine - chipboard or cardstock - adhesive vinyl - cutting machine or scissors - washi tape Step 1: Clean your jar and fill with candy.I admit I was bummed not to be able to find candies that were the right shapes to represent the ones in the game. Step 2: Cut and adhere a label onto your jar. Ta-da! What do you think?

OH SO PRETTY the DIARIES We're Obsessed With This Easy DIY Artwork Project (& You'll Be, Too!) UPDATE: The long weekend is the perfect time to start some new projects, so why not try this awesome (and so easy) artwork DIY? This story was originally published on July 25. If there are two things that have been commanding our attention lately, they're cool artwork and chevron prints. So, we were obviously pretty stoked to find a way to incorporate both — for cheap! — in an amazing DIY project for your apartment. Inspired by the work of artist Nancy Ramirez, two stellar Refinery29 interns collaborated on this easy-does-it way to spice up an empty wall. From the moment we spied this Nancy Ramirez painting on Pinterest, we were smitten. Assemble your paints and squeeze a quarter-size amount of each color onto your palette. To incorporate all of our colors, we used one at a time, rinsing our brush between each and blending until we covered the canvas. Once you've covered the canvas, let it dry for a few minutes. Et voilà! Photographed by Maia Schoenfelder
