Try these manual activities for a custom decoration that you will love and that will make you happy with the finished project well.

Do-it-yourself desk decoration - small rainbow organizer

Materials needed:

•             Polymer clay, rainbow colors + 1 for the base

•             Clay knife

•             Clay pastry

Note that I used red and pink in my rainbow, so the rose became the bottom piece.

There are some steps to realize this project of manual activity which gives a very good result.

1.            Choose the base color (pink in my case) and roll flat on a protected surface up to about 0.5 cm.

2.            Use a round object, such as a cup or bowl, as a stencil. Cut a semicircle of clay that is about 10 cm wide

3.            Then cut a small arch from the bottom to create a rainbow shape. Carefully wrap on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4.            With the next color (red), roll it in your hands and then on a protected surface until it begins to form a rope. Continue driving until the shape of the rope thins to about 0.5 cm

5.            Gently place the string on the base and position it on all edges of the rainbow shape. Pinch the ends together in one corner and lightly press for it to adhere to the base but does not change shape.

6.            Repeat this action with the remaining colors (orange, yellow, green, blue, purple), adjusting again if necessary to keep the sides upright.

7.            Cook the dish for about 25 minutes at 220 degrees C or as directed on the package. Remove when the clay is a bit hard. It will solidify further as it cools.

Cool home office decorating idea - a box to pick up all your office supplies

Materials needed:

•             White foam board

•             Handmade knife

•             Rule

•             Pencil

•             E6000

•             Clamps (optional)

•             Artisanal painting

•             Paint brushes

•             Washi tape

Measure and cut out all your pieces of foam. See the image for measurements. For the cut, we recommend you draw a light pencil line, then align your ruler on the line and cut it with your cutter. Make a first pass with the rather shallow knife; this creates a perforation for the knife to follow. Press more firmly on subsequent cuts. This should take you 4 or 5 passes to cut through the foam core.

Once the pieces are cut, assemble the desk organizer. Use the image as a guide. Spread glue only on the edges of the pieces that will be inside the organizer and not exposed. Once the pieces are assembled, hold them together as they dry with tongs. If you do not have a clip, you can have big books on either side of the organizer to prevent sticky pieces from slipping and falling.

Choose a front panel for your organizer. On the front, paint a solid layer of craft paint. Let dry. Once dry, mask a diagonal angle at the front of the organizer with tape. Paint a complementary color on top of the ribbon. remove the ribbon while the paint is still drying. If you prefer a third color, repeat step 4 once all the paint is dry. Remove the tape and allow the paint to dry and harden overnight.

Have cards and photos that give you pleasure to see - idea of DIY pins

Materials needed:

•             Powdered cement

•             Diamond shaped candy mold

•             Flat top bugs if possible

•             Sandpaper

•             Pacifier stick (recommended)

•             Disposable bowl (recommended)

This project is quite simple, as you can see in the photo above. Mix the cement according to the instructions on the box. In a small disposable container, mix the powdered cement and water with a lollipop stick or similar. Using the lollipop stick, spread the wet cement over the cavities of the gemstone and use the side of the stick to level the top and make it as flat as possible. Gently squeeze the flat side of a pin (pin) in the middle of each gem.

If necessary, use the rod to level the edges once the pin has been added. Repeat with all the cavities and, once finished, use a damp paper towel to clean the excess cement around the mold. You do not want it to dry like that, or it will be very difficult to come down later. Let it dry completely for several hours, then carefully remove each piece of the mold.
