Tip of the day!

Hi dearest friends, yesterday I was thinking about how to create simple and ease beauty for our lives, after all, not all of us have enough time or patience to always under go complex DIY projects, right?
So, last night I had an idea that hopefully you all will review and let let me know your thoughts about it. Based on that I will keep on posting at least one great ease, breezy idea!!

Let's get down to it!

Chevron Letter




Craft store wooden letter (the size of you choice). Most dollar stores carry them, I got my from Dollarama only $3.00. How cool is that?
For better results, look for any spot that may need to be sanded down, if so, please make sure to be gentle. After paint your letter white, two coats should be enough to cover it well.



Template your chevron pattern on it (you can print one off the internet). Trace it with a pencil (a little patience there, after all the details are very important)


 After tracing it, use some painter's tape (please a good quality to make the paint does not run under it) to cover up every other line.




Take you favorite color paint and paint the untaped pattern, carefully. Again, two coats should be enough. While the paint is drying, remove all the tape and let it dry completely.



To finish it off and add some charm to it you can use lace, a nice Washi tape or anything that you may find cute, reusable and appropriate for your new beauty. 

Enjoy it! 



Stay tuned!
