Last month it was patio metal wall arts from garage sale and dollar store and this week almost 6 year old candle holders again from dollar tree.
I love dot mandala and I am not good at painting, so thought why not use that technique on these textured candle holders and I absolutely love the way they turned out !
Like I said, I have had these for quite some time and I have been using them to display on my entry way table. I wanted to add some Indian colors to match the theme for the upcoming Indian festivals.
Washed and wiped them down and used some bright acrylic colors. Here is a video of WIP.
And used a knitting needle and some contrast color for the smaller dots. Before you use a contrast color let the base color dry thoroughly.
And Tadah…the are ready to use. I am so excited how bright and colorful they turned out.
Hope you find something in your home that needs a little color and makover and don’t hesitate to take risk and try it out. I am sure it will turn out to be wonderful and better than before.

Hi, I am very delighted that you stopped by! Welcome to Creative ME!!! I 'm a wife to an amazing hubby and recently mother to an adorable little munchkin :-), an Asian(Indian) native, nomad for a while and now currently @Portland, Oregan. Recently relocated from The Grand Canyon State and still adjusting to the gloomy weather here...
When we first we moved to US(2012) ,our first 2 months of accommodation was in a hotel and that's when everything started.
You must be wondering HOW?
I was introduced to HGTV and started reading craft blogs.
Ohh yes, PINTERST toooo and that is my fav!
Well, inspired from these places, I started to DIY on budget and decorate our home. Whenever I posted pics of my projects on Facebook, everyone loved and gave many positive comments. Some of them also said I should not look for a job, instead start a blog or sell some of my projects ;) They thought I was doing something very cool!! That was a great motivation and I decided to tickle my creative senses to tame the stress monster ;-)
And then, one day here is my blog , where I share my ideas and projects with friends, family and all other aspiring DIY-er's :)
And if you like my blog, please come back and also don't forget to tell your friends :)
Lastly, if you have a fun and functional craft or project or even a simple recipe I want to hear….please let me know and I can feature, down the line we will make Creative ME to WE..;)
