Here's the
thing. Whenever I am totally stressed out (yup, they make you feel like that
twice a year at the university), somehow from the middle of nowhere my inner DIY genius emerges. My mind is immediately flooded by thousands of DIY
projects I could do. And of course, since anything is better than studying, I
do not feel like denying my inner DIY genius.
Now that I am a blogger (oh yeah) I even think of taking step-by-step pictures of the stuff I create to share. However, my old (and now oficially senile) camera has forgotten to store my pictures in its memory so all I can show you is the result.
But in case you are wondering how to do that:
1) scavenger hunt list: a piece of wood, two colors (red and white), sandpaper, drill, doorknobs, nails or anything for hanging it
2) measure where the holes would look appropriate and drill
3) after introducing the sandpaper to the wood, follow by applying red color
4) when it is all dry, the white color can be sprayed on it (three coats)
5) after drying, take the sandpaper again and just try to uncover the annual rings and basically fool around until you are satisfied with the outcome
6) one top coat of see-through paint and let it dry
7) screw in the doorknobs
8) get rid of the too long screws from the doorknobs at the back (yup, cut the excess off)
9) hang it on the wall
10) surprise your mom on Mother's Day
