DIY Whiteboard

Last night i had an inspiration. I'm gonna make my own whiteboard [ under $10 ]. Searched for clear cellophane roll, couldnt find. Looked at professional magiboards [ $60 - $170 ]. 


Items Needed -

• A3 size or larger snap wallet closure 40 cm x 46 cm [ plain old clear sheet would do ] 
• some thumb push pins  
• hammer
• whiteboard marker pen(s)
• whiteboard eraser
• transparent duct tape 

• Initial tests using felt tip pen [ on top in red ] & whiteboard marker pen [ below in black ] 

• For the real test, WILL IT ERASE ??? . yup it did [ whew ] 

• Very carefully, slit the snap wallet closure in half. Expanded measurements would be 80 cm x 46 cm. 

• Now all there is to do is to hang it on the wall. 

• After couple of [ additional ] holes in the wall & thumb triple its original size [ together with lots of cursing ]  voila ! whiteboard is up !
• I only needed 4 push pins, but ended bending alot more than i thought. Oh well !!!
• umm, wall is BLUE, thats why it looks awsome !!!

• Damn !, duct tape holds whiteboard better. Made the necessary modifications. 

• 2nd whiteboard just installed - much cleaner look [ duct taped it ]

 

Thus endeth the lesson folks !!!

Most Powerful Exorcism

exorcizamus te, omnis immundus, 

spiritus omnis satanica potentas, 

immundus spiritus de cael, 

familia de diabolus, 
ego ligare tu, 

interemo daemoni,  

audi nos

- Omnipotens Deus ultionum

Translation -

We exorcise thee, every unclean spirit, every satanic power,

filthy spirit of Cael [ jehovah ], family of the Devil, 
I bind you,

Die demon, hear us !

- Almighty God of vengeance

* this will really piss off any demon before IT is destroyed. Normal exorcism is when the demon is allowed to return to HELL after exorcising IT out of the human body. But why show mercy to ANY demon.  

Custom T Shirt Folder

How many of us had no time to fold our T shirts/ trousers to perfection without the aid of an iron + ironing board. One can spend load of cash and buy a ready made T shirt folder which is made of plastic, which eventually breaks. How about building yourself a rock solid T shirt folder which lasts years and years. 

Fear not, follow the step by step instructions below to build your own T shirt folder.   

Items Needed - 

• Thick single piece of cardboard [ left over from packaging ]
• Duct Tape
• Scissors
• Ruler

• Cut out a single thick piece of cardboard [ left over from packaging or purchase at bookstore ] to 57 cm x 38 cm. Thicker the cardboard the better  
• Using a ruler and pen. transfer above diagram onto the 57 cm x 38 cm single piece of thick cardboard
• Section A/ Section B  folds over on the Blue/ Green/ Yellow middle colored section
• Duct tape all colored lines on both sides for durability
• Carefully cut ONLY the two vertical Green lines which end on Purple horizontal line. So that Section D folds upwards into Section C
• How T shirt folder works is you put a T shirt face down on this device, the arms may protrude outside Section A / Section B. If T shirt protrudes beyond Section D, just fold it once to fit in Section D. Then just fold either Section A to the right and Section B to the left and then fold Section D upwards to Section C. Voila ! a folded T shirt/ trouser
• Works even on long sleeve shirts, what you do there is  manually vertically fold the long sleeve on Section A / Section B and then fold it the usual way, left over right/ right over left / bottom upwards

• Finished T shirt folder should resemble above figure. Middle horizontal section is in clear tape coz I ran out of duct tape while building 
• Final folded T shirt size is determined by Section C
• This T shirt folder was made out of Filing cardboard with expected life span of 1 month but to my surprise it has lasted me little over 3 years

Natural Car Air Freshener

What is that smell ? We’ve all been there. Maybe you’ve got messy kids. Maybe you just completed a long road trip. Either way, your car smells bad. You could reach for conventional car air fresheners, but doing so traps you (and your passengers) in a small space with dangerous air pollutants. Save some money and your health with DIY car air fresheners instead!

Items Needed - 

• Syringe
• Container with tight fitting lid
• Baking Soda
• Essential Oil(s) 

• Use a drill to create some holes
• Fill 2 x lid size with baking soda
• Put a few drops of essential oils of your choosing over the baking soda
• Close the lid and place it in the vehicle
• When essential oil smell diminishes slightly, shake the container or add more essential oil drops as required
• Change baking soda once every 6-8 weeks

drilled holes much cleaner look !!!

Modified Air freshener -

• Salvaged an old car freshener found in any supermarket, emptied the poisonous liquid and thoroughly cleaned the inside before filling it with baking soda + essential oil - few drops only  

That's It Folks !!! 

DIY Tablet Stand

Items Needed - 

• Thick card board
• Ruler 
• Scissors 
• Duct Tape

• Instead of throwing away money on plastic stands which break after some time or aluminium stands which collapse in on itself due to the weight/ declination angle of the tablet.

• Very carefully cut a single piece of thick cardboard to resemble this shape above. 
• The centre triangle section has to at a 45 degree angle 

Portrait mode

Landscape mode

• Thick cardboard has to be used, otherwise the tablet being heavy will topple over
• Left over notebook/ tv/ printer packaging is what was used for this stand

• Duct tape the entire stand to make it durable 

• Folded tablet stand

• This stand can hold anything from [ 5.4 inch x 2.8 inch]  Samsung Galaxy S3 all the way upto a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 inch [ 8.3 inch x 5 inch ]  
• For a 10.1 inch or above device, you need to increase the vertical height from 11.5 cm by actually keeping a 10.1 inch or above tablet and let it tilt to a negative 45 degree angle. 
• Due to a 10.1 inch or larger tablet is heavier, the " centre triangle section " has to be even thicker to prevent tablet falling down

Perfume making at home

Super strong perfume that lasts 6+ hours 

Items needed - 

• Essential oils - 2 or more the better
• Perfume storage glass container [ it has to be glass as pure essential oil disintegrates anything other than glass over time ]
• Carrier oil - Olive / Extra Virgin Coconut oil
• Syringe

• Measure equal quantities of essential oils of your choosing, in this case i used 0.1 ml of each oil [ marked by 2 red arrows on this 5 ml syringe ] and put into a glass container. I used an empty 10 ml essential oil bottle 
• Measure about 7 ml of Carrier oil into your glass container
• Close with screw type lid & shake until all essential oils + carrier oil mix properly
• Open perfume container lid while keeping your finger tightly pressed on the top & tilt it [ once ] upside down, and tilt it back to right side up. Remove finger from the top of the bottle & you will see a drop worth of essential oil + carrier oil on your finger tip, apply that on your body. One drop per side of the body is [ all thats needed ]. 
• Given I used a 10 ml bottle, mixing 0.1 ml of 3 essential oils equaling 0.3 ml + 7 ml Carrier Oil results in [ Super Strong Perfume ] which lasts 6+ hrs with just one application. 
• Please DONT over do it, as it is, its pretty strong.
• For a larger container, mix 0.2 ml of each essential oil of your choosing + Carrier Oil 
• Try not to apply this drop on your skin which comes in contact with clothes or anything other than skin on skin, as pure essential oil resulting in fabric/ plastic/ metal disintegration over time 

My Home made perfume using Lemon/ Jasmine/ Rose  stored in a 10 ml bottle + body lotion made of same ingredients stored in a shower gel 250 ml bottle

If perfume can be stored as seen in above pic, so much the better as there are two lids holding your perfume guaranteeing the strength wont decrease over time like most shop purchased perfumes do.
