HOW TO WEAR HAREM YOGA PANTS

HOW TO WEAR HAREM YOGA PANTS

First off I love these pants. They are so comfortable. You can lounge in them, do yoga in them or wear them to the grocery store.



HAREM YOGA PANTS SHOP

They are HUGE in so many other countries. I saw them all over. AUSTRALIANS ARE WEARING THEM. ARGENTINIANS ARE WEARING THEM. VIETNAMESE ARE WEARING THEM. And So many other places. These pants are hitting the runways in so many different styles. There is definitely a science to wearing them.




They look best with your shirt tucked in. If you do not normally tuck your shirt with this style it the time to start. It does not have to be tight, but a baggy or untucked shirt will not do. It will just look sloppy. The great thing about these pants is that they are a one size fits all!!!.




I would wear a simple tank top and beach flip-flops or aviators with this style. And guess what you could wear these pants as a romper. Even less effort on the weekends!!

HAPPY TRAVELS!!!!!

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!



Thank you

Spell Out Love In Your Own Way

Elevate a plain-Jane glass vase, serving bowl, or mirror from your local thrift shop with just a litle artistic thought.
All you'll need is a stencil (or an artistic hand and, instead of an engraving tool, try glass-etching cream ($8.50 for three ounces; etchworld.com).

Make your photos clothing art !

Paint Inkodye, a light-sensitive dye, onto the front of a T-shirt, lay your black-and-white negative on top, and set it in the sun. Within minutes, your photos will have developed into a print you can wear. lumi.co ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inkodye is used for photograms, shadow prints, painting, dyeing, silk-screening, batik and more! Works great on cotton, wood, suede, silk and other natural fibers. Expose your design to sunlight and watch the color appear! It is set permanently once exposed. Wash out unexposed dye in hot soapy water and agitate vigorously.
