Arty Enough?
6:03 PM
Have you ever just look at pins on Pinterest and say to yourself "Wow! That's nice and pretty doable"? And so you started making them. Well, if you didn't, I did.
So I saw this on Pinterest.
And I just thought to myself, that's pretty easy. So I went out of my laziness and bought me a year-old magazine which only costs P30 in a nearby thrift bookstore. I could've scoured for a little longer and look for a much cheaper one, but I was quite in a hurry. You see, why would I spend more than a hundred pesos for a magazine that I'll only be shredding in minutes. Seems pretty impractical, don't you agree?
So to make this arty thing, you'll need:
- A magazine
- A notebook or a paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- A trash bin - doing a lot of cutting will leave you with tiny bits of cuts that will just untidy your entire room
- Most importantly, your creative mind ;)
- Begin by tearing a page of magazine. Choose a page that has a great color palette.
- Fold the page an inch thick. Do it as many times until you've shredded the entire page
- Cut the shredded pieces into triangles.
- Paste the triangles on to your notebook/page.
- Form the pieces together in to whatever shapes you want it.
Note: The triangles do not have to be perfect. You just gotta put the pieces together as if they're cohesive.
Now for the results:
This is the first one, I made at 1 in the morning today. My mind, my body, my soul just works productively at this hour. I know it's unhealthy. I'm being betrayed by my self.
So this next one I made this afternoon, just before I started photographing it like a million times. It's pink. It's in memory of my favorite color as a child, Pink. I'm girly like that. Yet I still think it's my favorite color. I don't know. I'm more inclined to buying anything white or black now.
Come back for more Pinterest-inspired projects that I'll be doing soon :)
