Homemade Valentines Gift Idea.

Homemade Valentines Gift

I'm This is not football related in any way 

BUT

seen as Valentines Day is coming up, I thought I'd post this!

I had an idea to make a thoughtful gift,

something that means a lot to the person it was for.

I got square a piece of wood and some nails.

I then printed out a map of Tenerife (where my girlfriend is from)

You can use any design, place or shape.

I placed the map in the center and started hammering some nails around the outline of the map.

I thought it would be easy but placing the nails so close together was hard

and I hit my fingers with the hammer about 5,000 times.

After a while I finally had the Tenerife outline done!

I removed the map.

It looked like a duck to me so I wasn't sure how it would turn out in the end.

I then started to nail a Love Heart shape in the area she is from.

You know what they say.

'Home is where the heart is'

This is where it got difficult. 

I used Red thread to go around the nails on the outline and in to the heart.

This was a very slow and difficult process,

but it turned out great in the end.

The love heart was probably the hardest part as it is so small 

and wrapping the thread around it wasn't easy. 

Close up. 

What do you think?

Here it is, completed!

I added black thread to outline it.

This Homemade gift was really appreciated!! 

You don't need to go out and spend crazy money on something.

Sometimes the best things can't be bought.

Its mad what you can do with some wood, nails and thread.

So if you're feeling creative and want to make a thoughtful present for someone you love,

Give this a shot!

Nike Hypervenom - Spray Painted!

SPRAY PAINT TIME!!!!!

This was more of a test on cardboard to see how it would turn out and it turned out so good, I couldn't wait until I got a canvas. I had to blog about it now, now, NOW!

I will be doing a video tutorial soon, so make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel if you want to see how its done.

Anyway, here it is, Step by step!

I got a blank piece of cardboard and covered the surrounding areas in case I made a mess.

I got Black spray paint and I cut out a Nike Mercurial VAPOR to use as a stencil.

(You can choose whichever boot you like)

I then sprayed around the cut out of the boot and in scattered areas of the cardboard.

I carefully removed the stencil to check it out.

This spray paint dries pretty fast so I could continue one to the next step within a few minutes.

 

Then I cut out a stencil of HALF a Hypervenom boot and I attached it to the outer piece from the Vapor cut out. They matched up perfectly.

I sprayed that Red.

I didn't really plan to do this, I just got ideas as I went along. 

*Don't forget to wear gloves!*

This picture shows you the stencils I chose and how I cut them.

You'll need a safety knife and a cutting pad.

And help from an adult, OBVIOUSLY!

This is difficult and dangerous.

I sprayed on then laces and I also drew on the Hypervenom style shapes with a Sharpie.

The Hypervenom shapes are easy to do. 

You can be creative and choose any shape you like.

I added small black detail in the laces to try and make them stand out a bit more,

And I put a thin red line around the top of the sock.

So? What do you think of these?

Would you like one of these hanging on your wall?

Or would you like to try and make it yourself?

Here's a list of things you will need!

Print outs of boots

Scissors,

Safety knife & cutting pad,

Rubber gloves,

Spray paint,

Sharpie,

Cardboard, paper or a canvas,

Newspaper or a sheet to cover the floor,

And an adult!

I hope you like it!

CHANGE IS GOOD

Hypervenom Phelon

 Customization!

You might remember these Hypervenoms from a previous post. 

I bought them for E16.80 on www.SportsDirect.co.uk and they were well worth the price.

*BUT*

I don't really like the color of them so, I decided to give them a little face-lift.

 

I'm not really into pink.  

 So I used Red dye, which you can buy online or at a local arts and crafts shop.

I also remembered to use rubber gloves this time.

It took a while for the color to spread, 

and I thought it was going to look terrible,

But after a few minutes and an extra coat, the red started to look great!

*Before & After*

I think the red looks much better!

Do you agree? 

I  started the other boot, and I thought the red looked so good,

I had to do more!!!

So I dyed the Nike Swoosh.

I loved the difference. 

Red & Black go perfectly together!

Red swoosh or White swoosh? 

FINITO!

Let me know what you think in the comments section!

I have put Red & Black Amo Customs laces on them. 

I would highly recommend @Amo_Customs laces to any footballer! 

Customizing your own boots is pretty easy, fun and CHEAP!

All you need is a cool idea and the right materials

and you can make a boot look as good as new!

You don't need to buy the best, most expensive boots to stand out. 

Be creative!

DIY Football Boot BLACKOUT!

DIY BLACKOUT!

Here we have an old pair of Nike Tiempos that were going to be thrown in the bin.

As you can see in the picture, they are very old and worn.

So, why not try and Black them out! 

Whats the worst that can happen? 

Clean the boot as much as possible. 

You can clean with nail polish remover.

And don't forget to remove the laces.

Also, make sure you have something to work on (Newspaper,a sheet, etc) as this can get very messy!

You should apply 2 or 3 coats for the best results.

Here is a before and after picture of the boots.

What do you think of the transformation?

Blackout boots are very popular at the moment. 

And If you have an old pair fit for the bin, I say why not give it a try! 

It is quite expensive to send your boots off to a blackout company.

You can buy DIY blackout kits from them also but they are very expensive. 

I blacked these boots out for roughly 10EURO! 

And I think they turned out pretty well!
