DIY 5 Minute Alcohol Ink Wall Art for Kids and Adults

You can use alcohol inks on glossy paper, cheap white tile for coasters, dominoes, metal, shrink plastic, glass, polymer clay and other non porous slick surfaces. 

All you need for this DIY are alcohol inks, alcohol, a frame with a glass insert, and a lighter (and that’s why you need an adult around if you are doing this with a child).

Find the tutorial for DIY Alcohol Ink Wall Art from It’s Always Autumn here.

Don’t want to use alcohol inks? You can also use Sharpies and rubbing alcohol on tile. You just want to make sure you seal the tiles properly. DIY Sharpie Coaster Tutorial can be found at the Sharpie Blog here.

A cry for help to fellow uni dorm-sharers

Ok so in 2 weeks time I'll be moving in to my dorm at uni, of which I will be sharing (for the first time in c.10 years), and it's safe to say I'm terrified. Therefore this is a plea to all of you who may have been in a similar situation, to help resolve the age old question...

How the fuck do you divide a shared room into two to save personal space and privacy, but not jeaprodise the 10/10 aesthetic of the room???

please help me my brain has run out of ideas and I need my space dudes

DIY Tapestry

Such a great idea for a cheap alternative to expensive tapestries. Use old leftover paint from your parent’s house or buy from the discount bin!

Complete instructions here.

Materials

One standard, flat sheet — We used a full-sized white cotton sheet. If you have extra bedding hanging around your dorm room or don’t use the unfitted sheet that came with your set, you already have this item! Any large length of fabric can be used, as well.

Standard interior paint — We used Benjamin Moore’s “Olive Tree” color.

A triangular wooden block — We used blocks from Todd Oldham’s Kid Made Modern set for Target. You can also use cut cardboard or any number of objects for printing.

A plastic painter’s tarp large enough to sit under your sheet.

A disposable dish or a plate that you don’t mind getting paint on.

Pushpins or thumbtacks

Directions

1. Find a space large enough to fit your entire sheet spread out on the floor.

2. Lay your plastic tarp down, trying to avoid wrinkles. This is very important. Interior paint tends to bleed through fabrics, so unless you want your floor covered in paint splotches, a plastic tarp is highly recommended.

3. Lay your sheet down on top of the plastic tarp. Stretch it out to its full width, avoiding wrinkles, and pin each corner down to hold it in place.

4. Open your can of paint and pour a small amount into your dish. Slowly tilt the dish around so the paint spreads evenly across its surface.

5. Dip the surface of your triangular block (or the shape/object of your choice) into the paint on your dish, trying to keep the entire surface as even as possible.

6. Beginning at the top left corner, print your object from left to right. If you print the object with a light touch, you should be able to get 2 to 3 prints before needing to reapply paint.
