DIY: Chalkboard painted bottles - write a message to your loved one!

I've found a lot of projects to occupy my mind at Pinterest and this is one of them. It took only few minutes to complete! 



Cheer up somebody's day by leaving  a cute message on  a bottle! 


If you want to change message just wipe it up with wet cloth, just like at school! :)


...And here is the tutorial. What you need is:
Chalkboard (Blackboard) paint 
empty wine, beer bottles
paint brush


You can also see some jars on the picture. I painted them as well and use them as herbs/spice jars. I will post the pictures soon!


Paint each bottle with blackboard paint. Stand the bottle up so you can paint each side at once.


Leave it dry for about 30 minutes. And that's it! Now you can leave a message on your new vase :)

ZIP IT !! ... (Large leather carry-all bag)

I made a leather zippered pouch for Viki few days ago and as I promised I am back with a similar bag that you can also find in my shop . This chic artificial leather envelope clutch is just perfect balance between useful and stylish accessory that you can carry everywhere! Carry it during the day to transport your essentials, or team it with a glamorous outfit at night! 




This carry all pouch is made from an artificial black leather, the interior is lined with black durable cotton fabric. The bag features metal gun pyramid studs on the front side, closes with a zip. 





The Measurements: approx. 12" x 11"

Black artificial leather clutch with pyramid studs

This clutch was made for Viki - an amazing food & lifestyle blogger (check out her great blog here). She was looking for a clutch in a kind of punky style but also decent and practical. She wanted a small clutch which would also be used as a laptop sleeve..  


The clutch measures approx. 35 x 25 cm and it closes with a zip. I used black artificial leather, black heavy cotton fabric for lining, metal zip and metal gun pyramid studs. All material is available online, mostly on e-bay. 


I am planning to do few similar clutches in following days. I will keep you updated! 


If you have some tips how would you improve this clutch, how to make it better or if you would like to own similar clutch please leave a comment!
