SELLING ONLINE IS EASIER THAN EVER!!!

The internet has done wonders for how the small and large businesses do get their products out in front of their customers before there were limited ways for people to see your products. Now because of the internet has opened up the doors for even the stay at home mom that makes specially beaded necklace to get her unique designs in front of the public.
The first and most traditional way artists, designers and collectors would sell their products with a website. This is a great to exclusively showcase your items, but can be limited to you being able to drive traffic to your site, being able to build a website and being able to afford a webmaster if you cannot design a site yourself. Having a website a great way to showcase your product, but there are easier ways to promote your product. Just because you build it does not mean they will come.

Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. These items cover a wide range including art, photography, clothing, jewelry, food, bath and beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks, and toys. Many individuals also sell craft supplies such as beads, wire, and jewelry-making tools. All vintage items must be at least 20 years old. The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee of $0.20. Etsy is a great way for people who are not savy with web design to have an online store front. Etsy is a great community of buyer and sellers that want to support each other.

COLOR BLOCKING YOUR WAY

The hottest trend of the spring/summer season is color-blocking, This explosing of color that is hard to miss on the runways color-blocking is the hot new fashion for the season.

The color-block look is far from new, but it is trending with such vibranacy that you don't want to ignore it this year. There are lots of ways to make it work for you--some easier than others--Let's see what makes sense for you


Cheat.You'll look like a fashion genius without putting any thought into it if you simply buy a color-blocked dress. Pick one that works for your skin tone and personal style- and make sure all the colors flatter, not just one or two.

Pair separates. When it comes to color-blocking with separates, the easiest way is to pair a bright hue with a nude hue. Once you've gotten the hang of it, you can try to pair two bold colors, but we suggest starting with a bright top and nude skirt.

****NOTE: Neutral doesn't have to mean nude. Use white, grey, brown and black to hold your outfit together.


Kick it up a notch. Once you've got your neutral and bold hues covered, it's time to add one more (yes, one more). Pair a deep turquoise or cobalt top with a pastel, or offset bright pants with a rich jacket. For a bright purple shirt, we love a soft-hued cardigan.

Up the Ante. Once you've got your main hues represented in your outfit, take color-blocking to the next level with accessories. If you've got a deep-hued top, skirt or dress, pair it with bright accessories and vice-versa. A bright yellow top looks great with cobalt blue bracelets, and a deep purple skirt pairs nicely with bright pink shoes.

****NOTE: Stick with different hues of the same color. Sky blue, cobalt and navy look great, while pale pink, bright pink and fuchsia do as well.

Opposites attract. There are a few things to remember when it comes to color-blocking with the right colors. Make sure you only have one neon color. While it's totally okay to rock three bold colors, only one of them should be super bright. We like this formula: one bright, one bold, one neutral.



Having a tough time figuring out what to pair with what?

Here are some more hues that go great together:

1. Cobalt Blue, Yellow, Orange

2. Chocolate Brown, Pink, Peach

3. Purple, Bright Blue, Teal

4. Deep Blue, Bright Pink, White

5. Coral, Grey, Ivory

Make Old Glass Frame Into New Mirror Treasure!

How to Make Glass Into a Mirror With Paint

While making a mirror requires a precise silvering process, you can make glass look like a mirror with spray paint you can find at craft stores. Spray paint can create a glossy, reflective surface that gives the effect of a mirror. Use this technique for easy, inexpensive craft projects at home.



1
Lightly sand the glass opposite of the side you want to reflect. Clean the sanded surface with tack cloth.

2
Hold the spray can about 6 inches from the sanded surface and spray the surface evenly with paint.

3
Let dry thoroughly before moving or handling. The glass opposite of the side you painted will reflect like a mirror.

Thanks ehow for the great idea

Print on Tile Portrait! Amaze Your Friends!

Want to make a unique piece of art to decorate your empty walls? Or to make the perfect gift for the grandparents or in-laws?

Here is a simple way to make this modern and minimalistic design using just tiles, tissue paper and a laser printer.

It is time to amaze your friends...

You will need:
1. Nice photo
2. Computer
3. 9 pieces of 10x10cm tiles
4. 5 sheets of printer paper
5. 5 strips of 10x20cm tissue paper
6. Double sided adhesive
7. Printer
8. Exacto knife
9. Decoupage glue
10. Paintbrush

Step 1
Picking and editing you photo

First you have to pick a nice photo. Make sure you pick a photo in which you will not cut away vital parts (such as eyes) later on.
Chose which part of the photo you want to use and cut out a square. Put the square in a new document.



On this new document you can:

Change image size to 30cmx30cm.
Desaturate the image.
Change brightness and contrast until you get the desired result.
You might want use the paintbrush to get rid of unwanted details in the background.
You might want to reverse the picture, otherwise you will end up (like me) with a mirror image of your original photo.

Step 2
Dividing your picture into smaller elements

In order to print your paper you will have to take a few extra steps.

Make lines on your edited photo at 10 and 20 cm. This is just to make the next step easier, if you find it hard you can skip this.

Cut out the squares between the lines. Cut 0,5 cm away from the lines! Otherwise you will end up with a distorted face in the end. If you did not make the lines just check the ruler and make the cutting free hand. Each square will measure 9cm in each direction.

Paste the squares into 5 new documents, 2 in each except for the last one which will have just one square.

If needed, rotate the new documents to make them printable.



Step 3
Printing your photo on tissue paper

Obiously it is hard to put tissue paper into an ordinary laser printer. This is a nice trick to make it work.

Take your strips of 10 x 20cm tissue paper. Put double sided adhesive on upper and lower side.
Attach to middle of printer paper.

Do NOT use common tape as it will melt in your laser printer and make it useless (take my word for granted, I have tried)

Print the 5 documents on the 5 pieces of tissue paper


Step 4
Cutting the parts

No need for longer explanation. Cut all nine squares. Try not to cut your fingers as well.








Step 5
Time to use the glue!

Put decoupage glue on tiles. Adhere tissue paper.

If you want a softer look, adhere pieces with printed side facing tile. (That is the reason you might want to reverse it earlier). For a more detailed look, adhere printed side out.

When dry, add at least two more layers of decoupage glue on top of tissue paper.


Step 6
Finished!

Now you might want to put tiles into a frame or just stick to a piece of board and put on your wall.

Good luck!
