DIY Wall Sculpture Project

It seems that BBQ season is well and truly over.

You could be forgiven for thinking last week that we were getting a second chance to enjoy some sunshine and warmth before the winter finally set in and we started pulling those big woolly jumpers out from the back of the bedroom cupboard.

The heating went on and in our case a new boiler went in. Any outdoor furniture you have was packed away in the shed along with the BBQ, which went into forced hibernation, much like we will do in a week or two.

If you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, then you'll be familiar with Larry David's issues with skewers and having to look like an idiot, not knowing what to do with one, when you're finished eating the food from it.

Now I'm sure Larry couldn't care less, or at the very least, probably wouldn't have a huge problem with recycling the used kebab skewers, but until I find another (cleaner) use, you'll have to make do with this post, which relates to what you can do with 'unused' skewers that aren't going to get the hibernation treatment along with the BBQ.


Much like last weeks post about a DIY focal point for your room, made for a fraction of what it costs to buy, this tutorial from poppy haus, shows you how to create a Danish modern, mid century style sculpture for your walls for as little as $10.

Dwell Studio are currently selling these wall sculptures for almost $200 but you can make your own with some Styrofoam balls (found here or here), bamboo skewers and some spray paint.

Materials:
- 2 x 2" Styrofoam balls
- 10" Bamboo skewers
- Gold, Black and White spray paint
- Velcro squares

Image: poppy haus
Instructions:
Spray the Styrofoam balls the base colour (either black or white) and spray the skewers gold.

There is a thin seam line on the Styrofoam balls that divide it in half, use this as your starting point.
Insert the skewers around this line and then fill upwards.

Spray paint the centre colour onto the base of the skewers, creating the shading from white or black to gold.

To attach them, sand the back side flat and attach the adhesive Velcro square. Simply pop on the wall.

  3. I’d recommend using Dr. Utu Herbal Cure topically for instant pain and itch relief as well as accelerated healing of lesions and permanently stopping oral and genital herpes virus outbreaks. I have tried just about everything from acyclovir suppressive therapy to different natural oils, extracts, and other natural methods, some of which are EXTREMELY painful and exacerbate the problem (i.e. apple cider vinegar!). While vitamin E oil and suppressive therapy worked well for me, when I became pregnant I went back to striving to discover a herbal cure. I was using vitamin E oil topically for a while but it was thin and difficult to use and only seemed to prevent further outbreaks rather than getting rid of it. I contacted Dr. Utu Herbal Cure through my friend. To my surprise, I could tell my outbreak was starting to heal within only a few hours! No more itching and pain! Dr. Utu Herbal Cure that I used was liquid herbs in bottles, so it was very easy to use. It simply whiffs, but it works so I don’t care! The best part of my testimony was that I successfully delivered a herpes-free beautiful daughter without further medications. Anyone who has tried Dr. Utu Herbal Cure knows just how quickly those treatments can add up. So give it a try! Anyone can reach Dr. Utu through
