Laundry bottle recycled to organizer (D.I.Y)

You can see alot of tutorials and DIY in youtube and facebook. 

Reason why I dont throw away the big laundry bottles. Not only bec I am stingy but I like to tinker and paint if bored or art frenzied. 

Sadly I dont have gesso (white primer). The acrylic paints and markers would have stayed well. Anyways I usually put satin varnish to seal the colors.  


 If you don't have the proper cutting materials it is hard to contour the curves using just a regular cutter. It shortened my blade and broke 2 times.
I cut my finger along the process too. Don't worry it was just a tiny scratch not life threatening. Not a kid friendly task if you ask me. 


Usually you soften the edges by using a lighter. But I am not a smoker and the flatmate I usually borrow from is on vacation. 


Probably first and last time I'm making this.

A D.I.Y soap sculpting rush Art project

Today I woke up at 8am and my brother told me he has a project that was due today around 1:30pm. Mind you I still have a daughter to feed, bathe and etc., He told me not to make it too nice. 

Anyways I still did it since I am not always at home and will go back to UAE soon. 
So 1 laundry bar soap cut in half and joint with water and toothpick. If you see how cakes are made then you will see they also added sticks to stabilise the form. 
A small knife is what I used to carve out the lil taxi car. I use the tip of the toothpick to do outlines. 


  Sorry I know it doesn't look finished but I was suppressed by time. It should have been smoothen some more and be dried under the sun for a couple of hours.

Anyways my brother said when he went home he got a 100 for it. Yey! 😊
