How to give a second life to your furniture

Sometimes we have a choice, either we need to throw away some piece of furniture or maybe it`s our chance to make something creative and unusual.

I had one strong but not good looking table. Few days I`ve been thinking what to do with it. And finally I decided to give it a new life. This is a result that I had (and have now of course) at the end.

The process was not hard. But anyway, you’ll need patience because it takes time. In my case, it took approximately one week.


From my previous experience, I knew that if a paper is used with enough quantity of PVA glue then the final construction would be as strong as wood.
 

I had an idea to cover legs of the table with something like a rope. But where I can take a paper rope? I decided to make it by myself. I took 4 toilet rolls (it`s very important to use rolls without perforation holes) and first twisted each of them so that they looked like a clew. There were 4 very big “clews”. Then I twisted two “threads” of two “clews”. It was the most boring and the hardest stage in all processes. Thus if you have a possibility to buy paper rope just do it J A cotton rope I think can be an alternative.
 

 On the second stage, I’ve used a lot of PVA to glue my “rope” on the table legs and painted it with black acrylic paint. There are few secrets here:

• It`s better to cover your table with paint before fixing “rope” with glue. This will help you in future when you will paint the legs with “rope”
• The second secret is to start with the top part of a leg. Glue the “rope” and leave it to dry. It’s more convenient to work when the end of a “rope” is fixed.
• Use PVA mixed 50/50 with water and add in this mixture your black paint. It will dry a bit longer but you’ll have almost painted table legs at once.
• Give time for table legs to dry. In my case, one night for two legs was enough. The next day I did my magic with the rest two.

 




The most wonderful part is to paint on the table with acrylic paints. These paints are drying very quickly and you will receive your masterpiece within a few hours. You can use a pen to make a sketch. Then cover your sketch with neutral color. Then make a background of your picture and voila! Just paint on it what you want. In my case, the picture is not very professional. That time I just started to learn drawing. But you can do this better!


When the painting is done, take a sponge and silver paint to cover surfaces of your table except for the top of the table of course. It will look like old silver and maybe an antique piece of art. So pity that the photo can’t show how it’s in real life to protect your work cover the table with acrylic varnish. I made 4 layers. Read the instructions of your varnish before using to be sure in all process.


When everything will be finished breathes deeply and be proud of yourself!
Hope you’ll enjoy using your new table like I do.

Family And Work. How to have time here and there. My experience

The other day I read comments to one of posts and got terrified: so many work from a morning to night, not seeing family, someone abandons children on a weekend with grandmothers, and go to do orders, etc. I remember myself a few years ago, when I only began to work: round the clocks I sit at the computer, all weekend I wrote down tutorials and wrote the articles, and when orders went, then I began to work yet at nights. Even being on a vacation, I continued to work.

But once I got on the living training that compelled me fully to cut again the business hours. Training was on a quite remote theme, however at some instant a trainer said: "In the process of work and by a race after money you have no authority to forget about those, for whom you do all of it. Those, who you so try for the sake of, must be always on the first place for you ". These words opened  my eyes on my situation. Actually, only for the sake of these words I needed to come on this training.
I understood that trying to do better to the family, I do only worse. What will remember my daughter after a few years: that how cool we went at the seaside that year or that she did not see the mother that ploughed practically, that a child enjoyed in summer? Beautiful dresses/blouses or always sitting at the computer mother that worked, to make her daughter look as a doll?
Then I said myself - my family is the topmost.
How it reflected in reality:
1. I took to myself that time, when I will not work not under any circumstances - on Sunday and each evening, when daughter comes from school. This time is only for her.
2. On Saturday we, as a rule, work, but child here with us: we assign her that she helped us, or she engages in the businesses in this moment - draws, plays, reads. Thus on Saturday we do not abandon important businesses requiring an overpressure, therefore during work we communicate calmly, laugh loudly, joke. If it is needed to do something, requiring a concentration, then it only then, when daughter sleeps. Such principle allows us not to be nervous, if daughter distracts us with something, and vice versa, work merry and friendly.
3. I began to work less, but more productive. For me the always strictly taken time is on writing of posts, prosecution of tutorials and answers on a comments. This time occupies at most 2 hours in a day. All other time, if I work on orders, I do not open web-sites that does not need me for work presently.
4. To teach myself to work, not distract, I periodically include a timer (before I used him constantly).
As I use a timer. Maximal time on that it can be set - 45 minutes, minimum 5 minutes. When I only began to work with a timer, I put a timer during all day: 45 minutes on this work, 15 minutes ona break during that it is possible to have a drink of tea or getting on some other work, et cetera. You do not present how much can be done for a day! For example, I could work at once on two different orders, and quite not to get tired, because I changed the type of activity constantly. Mainly, beforehand to prepare all necessary materials and instruments on different tables and after the wearing-out of timer it is simple to pass to other business. It allows to work a ten times more productive and quicker!

5. I use helpers. As helpers for me acquaintances and relativescome forward, as a rule.
For what works it is possible to take helpers. For example, it is possible to find a helper on the dispatch of parcels to the customers, in fact it occupies lots of time - to go down on mail, stay in a turn, fill in form et cetera. By the way, helpers can become your family members are childrenwith the greatest pleasure, cadets and sisters, and can be grandmothers and grand-dads. Maybe, they only wait when you will ask them about it. For example, my daughter adores, when many colors are ordered by me, because she helps to pack every floweret in a package and clamp a package with a stapler.
6. We often speak with a husband and with a child on a theme work and joint rest. We build plans together, put aims, discuss, how these aims we will arrive at. It gives us all understanding that we are family, but not each by themselves.
7. I renounce orders and projects, if it conflicts with the 1 point of this list. All money cannot be earned, and there is a domestic peace - this is the most important. It is possible to treat  without that chic dress on a New Year, it is possible not to eat for three chocs a day, it is possible rarer to walk in restaurants, but more often to be with the native, more often to speak with them, to have a resttogether, watch films, go for a walk on the forest.
 
In this post I wanted to say that Your family –is the most expensive, what you have. You have no right to deprive the family attention for the sake of work.
Sit down and think over, how you must cut again the business hours and activity so that were with familyyou a sufficient amount of time:
- work more productive and quicker;
- leave off a clock to sit in social networking and publics;
- search helpers;
- eventually, renounce those projects that will bring to you not very much money, but will take away plenty of time.

How to enjoy creative work and to sell your works

From middle of winter some pause began in my work, and already hardly anymore month stayed till that moment, as I will become a mother in third time! Smiles, tears... What happiness is this oppressive expectation!

Certainly, folder with sketches is filled up, ideas give birth one by one, the whole plan of work is worked out in a head, customers wait, but I now can work only slightly, even on this publication went away almost half-year, and I so sincerely want to share the secret ideas with you.
Think that in summer at much quite a bit spare time and it is possible to analyze and create!
Publication for those who want to create in the style and want his works to be bought.
I write the personal ideas, opinion, maybe, it will not coincide with your, I want nobody to offendby nothing.
It is my point of view to date, maybe, after a while I will rethink a great deal.
I analyse that I do and how I do it very often. Ideas accumulated concerning the sales of online and development on the whole. It is possible to say, that it was my some plan of development. Even now I can re-read it again.
I distinguished 7 basic points that is very important, especially at the beginning of the way, certainly, in a head yet very many ideas, but a basic accent for me falls onnext:

1. To listen to yourself.
If you already own the technique of work with your favorites material well, you know very much receptions already, for you everything is even, neat and beautiful, color combinations  are harmonious, then try as possible quicker to find the special style of work. How?
Do not look anymore at worksof strangers. Let it sound cruelly, no inspiration by stranger inspiration. Search it! Step back from all that is done by other masters in your technique. Doing good, apply a maximum of the knowledge, choose, that befits, that no.
What happens when you are inspired by stranger inspiration? And it is very bad! Each time, opening a photo with work of other master and repeating that it is done by him, you kill the idea that lives for you inwardly. You begin to live by his idea. And who knows that was tested by master, doing the work, maybe, exactly in this thing the great number of forces and emotions is hidden and he took and did that about what dreamed. At considerable changes sense is lost in his work, energy is lost. Such works can become a weight for you, as though and done well, and however nonsense a fate of that can be very cheap.
Thus, your idea so remains on a distant shelf.
Certainly, I do not mean those moments, when you create the copy of work of favorite master intentionally, write in such cases, that work is done as a copy and specify the name of author.
Your aim, doing a copy:
а) Perfection of a quality of the work;
б) Infinite love to works of master and desire to have something alikefor yourself;
в) Desire to get in viewing on condition of search by "name ofa master".


2. Not to torment itself comparisons.
Why is it important not to compare the works to other?
а) When you did the good very well, and look at works of other masters, begin to think that they make better. Then planning new work, you involuntarily add something from that master. This is bad. There is your sense in your work. You are personality! Set to new work from a clean sheet;
б) understated self-appraisal. Involuntarily works of other master are perceived as a new, the best. But you do new, open the world newly. The ideas of creation of certain works come to everybody, for someone – earlier, for someone – later.

3.  To do the works and wait a customer.
As soon as you did even one your ownsuccessful work, under "successful" I understand that it was bought, then  you  -are a lucky person!
Why are you a lucky person? Because, you can do works in this direction, to develop them and broaden. And it is very important, you know a price it is possible to push off from that already, if you will continue to work in this direction, then to you will easily develop the shop.

4. To improve.
Perfect the technique and search interesting materials, do not decide to stop on the attained result! Why? Our market is the internet!  As soon as you published the authorial work, be ready, that will be inspired your inspiration, there will be copies and analogues very quickly. But it is your idea. Try to propose works by collections, do a few works at once.


5. To watch after a price.
Very often, doing work, we feel a price on that work will find a customer intuitively, so, listen nobody, put that price that your intuition prompts you.


6. To seize the moment.
"Ideas fly in mid air". How many times I heard, such phrases: "I wanted to do such worktoo" or "you readmy ideas"!. How many times before I heard it into itself. Herein all difference between all of us. Someone takes and does, goes on a new way, and someone is afraid to do work "not as everybody does". Leave off being afraid that you will not be understood or that work is too difficult. If it is your work, it will find that human, it will pleasehim that so that will need exactly that - only and unique.

7. To create in that direction in that it is easy.
For example, you do straps and bangles, but, say, purses block your fantasy. Do not do purses. Do straps and bangles, different-different with fairies or with flowers. Do that from what your heart strongly-strongly beats. Certainly, it is better to do a few names, who knows, what your future customer searched initially, but, seeing, understood that this strap is a dream of all his life.


8. Not to spare forces and time.
Be ready to that not everything is so quickly and simply sale. Follow the road and do not displace. If you found yourself, spare neither time nor forces on your business.
And farther it is possible to read from a point №1.
Successfulcreative work and development to you and let your favorite business bring to you only gladness!

5 Rules Of How To Make Successful Your "Home Business"

There are very much articles on this themeIn the internet. They all are very large, finishing reading to the end, it is sometimes necessary to climb upstairs, to remember what was at the beginning)))

My article is very simple, but on occasion, as it seems tome, very necessary)))
And the main, that the article gives to understand that we must... but not to try to find an answer in customers)))

Step 1. Passion.
Passion conducts people, it must examine with x-rays through all your works. Passion holds us, when already nothing can manage. You must not simply do your works - the fire of passion must burn to the beautyin you! In fact you so like to do something with your own hands, that simply can not stop - whatever betide.
If you will not have passion for that you do, do not make it not for sale. Without passion you will surrender very quickly. You will do your commodity in a bad quality and very soon will begin to hate that, and will simply be unhappy. And it all will affect your works. Do everything with passion or do not try to sell it, because successful domestic business is simply impossible to create without passion.

Step 2. Quality.
Not simply good value, but the best. Constantly improve it from a thing to the thing, and your customers will estimate quality and will pay more. Certainly, they will have a desire to buy cheaper, but one time disappointed, they will buy quality next time. It can firstly cost expensive to you, but the produced reputation as a result will bring a more benefit to you. If you want to base your business on a long term, reputation - is everything. And soon products with your name will grow to itself a price. Nothing will interrupt quality.

Step 3. Uniqueness.
You are unique personality, and your things must carry in itself a part of your individuality. Study works of the best masters in your area, and you will understand how to produce the style. Never do in exactness that is done by the other. But do not try to create your style by making strange things - most people do not like to look foolishly. Simply add your own stroke, or other color, do things darker or lighter etc.
Are you a happy human? Or captious? What part of yourself do you want to reflect in your works? Find a method to tell people about your work. Create your own unique successful domestic business.

Step 4. Purposefulness.
Research, research, while you will not understand your aim at the market. It is the most difficult step, but when you will find the clients, you will save the great number of forces and time. People, that are not interested in what you do, will not come to buy. Millions of people buy and sell on Ebay (on-line-auction - note of translator.), and you can lay out the commodity theretoo. But not distress, if you will not find nothing of the kind there, very many things are better offlinefor sale. You can use internet-auctions as marketing instrument - they perfectly befit in an order to find out a situation and as a result to get the best price for your thing.
Marketing of sale research is a wonderful instrument of development of business. Even your nearest surroundings, maybe, very much possibility have for your expansion. A teleologism does sales far more effective

Step 5. Persistence.
Be persistent. If you passed the first 4 steps, persistence itself will justify. Always advance, study your handicraft, here passion will help you, and continue to extend your list of clients.
Do not be afraid of refuses. Study them, draw conclusion and move farther. That is why passion is so useful - if it decreases and then a persistence decreases. Without the persistence of selling at your wares will be very small.
Now that you have all, what you need for development of own domestic business - passion, quality, aims and persistence - it is possible bravely to begin to count money from the sales of your wares!

Good luck and success!
