DIY Desafío Telva
Some days ago I was contacted by Telva to be part of a DIY challenge to customize one of the clutchs they are giving as a gift in April's number, I didn't think about it a second; I wanted to be part of it. I had some ideas in mind, but when I received the snake-printed one I decided to make use of the Mix&Match trend; and here you have its transformation and the final result.
First of all, create a grid with the masking tape in the lower part of the clutch. Start with the horizontal ones and from the bottom to have straight lines. To have all the squares of the same size, use the masking tape to cover the part between to masking tape strips, as can be seen on the pictures. Then, do the same with the vertical ones.
Paint the gaps in the same colour. The brush stroke direction has to be from the outside to the inside of the square, to delimit correctly the borders. Wait until it is dry and remove the vertical tape strips.
Stick new vertical tape strips on the places that are already painted. Paint the gaps with the other colour. Wait until it is dry and remove all the strips this time. Now, add new tape strips leaving uncovered places that are not painted. Repeat this step until all the half bottom of the clutch is totally checked in white and blue.
Do you like the result? It is very simple, you just have to be patient and wait until each square is dry before removing the tape and sticking new one :)
