  • Paintbrush for applying

DIY Terrarium picture frame Ikea Hack – How To Make:

[I]First we catch to us the picture frames and arrange this in such a way as they should stand together later. I have so arranged my picture frames that in each case on the left and on the right a picture frame overlap the other two. One can arrange the single picture frames also other. It is important only that one equalises the method on both sides, because the plants DIY terrarium, otherwise, properly aufeinanderpasst & does not become crooked. As soon as one has decided, one catches to himself the hot glue & sticks together in each case two picture frames at the side.[/I]

[I] It pays attention to the fact that you do not use too much hot glues, because this runs usually unsightly at the side from the terrarium.

 CONCRETE DIAMOND IDEA DIY – 2 IN 1

[I]Today I would like to introduce to you a damn nice and brilliant DIY. Since my concrete tree project – which came really with you – I am in the fever. In the concrete fever! One can create the nicest and most modern things with this building material. Also as gift ideas many are suited very well. So also the today’s one. Because I clarify dear not only to introduce practical projects, but also, today I show you an especially cool concrete Do It Yourself idea. The today’s concrete diamond idea DIY is immediately 2 things in one! One can use this nice piece as a jewellery filing – for example, for arm maturity – as well as for plants.[/I]
[I]Topically there is in the Interior area in general the trend towards simple objects, or pieces of furniture of concrete. Our today’s concrete diamond lies more than in the trend! By his geometrical form he brings a certain charm in the space. Also by the unusual material this concrete is a diamond a real eye-cacher and proves that concrete is able just more, than to form only streets. Combined with a trendy golden clay there originates an elegant Deko the element which is able to do still what![/I]
[I] Especially well I like the concrete diamond as a plant holder. Just with extremely looking tillandsias he looks absolutely noble! These plants should have discovered loyal readers already a few times with me on the blog. Thus I have shown you with the project DIY Low budget designer shelve already a few photos. However, now let us with the today’s idea DIY get cracking![/I]

Required products for concrete diamond:

– Cement
– Quartz sand
– Water
– Bucket
– Spatula
– Old packaging from cardboard or Plastik
– Triangle ruler
– Pen
– Scissors
– Gold colored lacquer
– Tape
– Empty loo roll
– Tinfoil
– Steel chain & pliers

 

Thus the concrete diamond idea DIY is made:

First we record to us the basic form for our later concrete diamond. On the photo you can see that the basic form reminds of a sort of fields. We cut out the hatched triangles later. It recommends to themselves to record the form first on a piece of paper and then to transfer afterwards on a piece of cardboard. If one likes the size and the form, we cut out our form with scissors.

If the basic form is cut out for our concrete diamond, we take the surfaces lying on top before and bend this easily. Also the lower part of our form is bent. We form a sort of ice-cream cone by the form. We stick this from the outside then with some adhesive tape, so that a stable diamond forms. One can attach to the safety on the point below still some adhesive tape, so that later no concrete leaks.

Thus our cardboard diamond looks if we have made everything right. Now this form is filled with concrete. In which ratio to us like her this anmischt, I have already shown you in the article concrete tree DIY. There you can read up in rest everything. If you have the concrete freshly angemischt, you fill this in the form. With possibly half you catch to you a loo roll and press this in the humid concrete. At the underside of the roll you fasten some Aulufolie, no concrete can penetrate at this point. Thereby we form a hollow cavity within our concrete diamonds.

As soon as the form to on top is full there, we smooth the surface and fasten on three corners a few small rings of a steel chain. We press this about 3-4 cm in the diamond full with concrete. Now we let our form dry about 26 hours. Then we can release our almost ready piece of art from the cardboard. When required the surface can be ground off yet something. Now one can fasten a few more other steel chain rings with tongs, so that one can also later hang up our diamond.

If we have extended the chain, we can varnish the lower piece of the diamond still gold. For this we simply stick on to us the area from and spray with some wallflower the point. If this has dried, we are ready! Now we can use our stylischen concrete diamonds immediately for two things: Equips with a tillandsia, we have a small breath of the hanging gardens of Babylon. Turned we can use our concrete to diamonds, however, also as a cool jewellery filing for all kinds of rings! By the created hollow cavity we can steal the chain simply quite fast. 😉

 

 I find this concrete DIY idea simply amazing! As a plant hanger, as well as as a jewellery filing – I find the concrete diamonds miraculous! How do you like my today’s Do It Yourself project & would you copy it?

LOW BUDGET PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: SPARKLERS AS (THE SINGLE) LIGHT SOURCE

[I]Another photography low budget tip that I have already presented to you recently in my category “photography tips” is the one with the sparklers.

However, for this you need to be experienced, as it happens quickly that the great look of the picture is totally destroyed.[/I]

LOW BUDGET PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: LOW BUDGET DARKENER/BRIGHTENER

[I]As I have already revealed to you, light is the most important element in photography. Without light you can’t make a single picture. You can place and use it in the most diverse ways. For example, you can manipulate it softly with a low budget darkener/brightener. Thought the different uses of this photography tip you can achieve totally different results. You can clearly see that by comparing the (100% unedited) photos of me: The three photos were taken with the identical aperture number, ISO value and exposure time. Nevertheless they are different! The photo in the middle was made without any gadget. The one on the left on the other hand was made darker with the help of a darkener. [/I]

[I]The result of this is that my cheekbones are emphasised, among others. Contrary to this, this photo on the right was made brighter with a brightener. It intensifies the light reflections in my eyes, gives me a soft glow and conceals the wrinkles around my mouth. The whole left side of the face becomes slightly brighter. This photography tip is quickly created and at the same time extremely effective, not only for portraits![/I]

LOW BUDGET PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: INDIVIDUALISED BOKEH WITH SELF-MADE TEMPLATES

 

[I]Attention Bokeh lovers! Today something wonderful happened. I was standing in the kitchen and was looking for suitable equipment. And then the aluminium foil made it in front of my lens. Its conformability and tear resistance (if you don’t buy the cheap one) is simply perfectly suited to create an individualised Bokeh! You simply cut the desired form into the foil, tighten it around the lens and start taking pictures. For this it is best to use a lens with a low aperture value like this one*. Only then the effect becomes attractive.[/I]

[I]Depending on the diameter of the lens you need smaller or larger Bokeh forms. I would recommend to start with rather small forms because those always do better according to my experience. You can make them larger step by step; however, once the form has been cut you can’t make it smaller anymore.[/I] [row] [column md=“4″ ]

PHOTOGRAPHY GADGET FOR A DREAMY PICTURE LOOK – LOW BUDGET PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: STOCKINGS

[I]This photography gadget is particularly useful for a dreamy picture look. I am talking about stockings, which you can get at every supermarket checkout for a few euros. The ladies among us probably own this photography gadget already among various panties, bras or a lace body. When you pull a simple stocking in nude or black over the lens you get a wonderfully dreamy picture look that reminds a little of various vintage photos. This photography gadget is surely also suited for taking pictures of beautiful people in little clothing. As I have planned to take a few elegant Boudoir photos anyway, this photo tip is ideal. I am curious what the result will be! Interested models (preferably with experience) for this photo project can write me an email to info@christinakey.com – I am looking forward to your requests![/I]

You can vary the effect by holding the stocking closer or farther away from the lens. It also looks interesting when you rip the stocking a little. This allows you to determine the part of the picture that should get the vintage look.
