Texture art

[Texture Art] Just mix paint with ___ and apply to create professional-looking art! From abstract paintings to reproductions of famous masterpieces

Texture art refers to works that add tactile quality to color.

You might think, “Isn’t that hard for beginners?” but it’s surprisingly easy: just mix acrylic paint with a medium—a specialized art material—and layer it on.

Once you have a canvas suitable for acrylics, simply apply layers of the acrylic-and-medium mixture using a painting knife like those used for oil painting.

The key to a stylish finish is blending several colors to create a subdued palette.

Trust your intuition and give it a try!

Cloud light

[DIY] Easy! I made a fluffy cloud light! [Dollar Store]

Place some fluffy glowing clouds, and your room will instantly transform into a cute space! Cloud-shaped lights are available commercially, but you can easily make your own with a plastic bottle, cotton, and a light.

To make it, cut the top of the plastic bottle to your preferred size and attach cotton around it.

Put a light inside the bottle, and you’re done in no time! However, leaving it on for long periods can pose a fire risk as the cotton may catch fire, so only use it when you want to enjoy the lighting effect.

Macramé smartphone shoulder strap

[Super easy! Recommended for beginners] How to make a macramé phone shoulder strap / [easy] How to make a shoulder strap

This is a charmingly textured braided shoulder strap that can be used as a bag shoulder strap or a smartphone sling.

It’s a simple design with hardware attached to both ends of a braided cord, so you can freely customize it by choosing different cord materials, colors, and types of hardware.

First, tie the cord to one piece of hardware.

Then take the six strands extending from there, group them into three bundles of two strands each, and braid them into a three-strand plait.

It’s important to keep each pair of strands side by side without overlapping; aligning them as you braid brings out a clean, distinct braid pattern.

Once you’ve braided to your desired length, tie on the other piece of hardware to finish.

The way you tie the hardware and the length you choose can also reflect the maker’s personal touch.
