Must-Have Items For Your Diamond Painting

by Pamela January 14, 2021
written by Pamela

Custom diamond painting is a relatively novel type of art. Most people, even some enthusiastic artists, are yet to hear about this type of art. This type of art is designed for the most constructive and creative minds. However, you can always create a custom diamond painting using tools from icustompainting. In this post, we look at diamond painting kits. 

Elements of a diamond painting kit

Below are some essential elements you must have in your diamond painting kit;

1. Pre-painted canvas

The canvas is the most crucial element in your diamond artwork kit. It is the base of your entire piece. However, unlike when creating other types of art, here, the canvas needs to be pre-painted. This means that it should already have the piece of art or painting on which you want to add the diamonds. Note that the type of painting on the canvas is entirely dependent on you.

2. Flat-backed diamonds

Next to the pre-painted canvas, the diamonds are also a must-have element in the art kit. The market features different types and colors of diamonds from which you can choose. Therefore, you are free to choose whichever type and color you want. You can also choose to use more than one color. The size is also entirely dependent on the type of results you are looking to achieve. However, the overall piece of the canvas will determine the size of the diamonds you choose.

Additionally, the diamonds also need to be flat-backed. This element is vital because the flat back is the part that will be placed on the canvas using glue or wax. Any other shape other than black will give you such a hard time when it comes to gluing the diamonds on the canvas.

3. A tray

You will also need a tray on which you will place your diamonds and other tools that you need. The tray is essential because the diamonds tend to run, and you would have a hard time working if you had to keep checking up on them. Try a curved tray so that it can hold the diamonds in one place. Do not place all your diamonds on the tray from the word go. Instead, place a few and keep adding more as you go. Doing this will make your work easier. It will also assist you in picking the pieces with less trouble.

4. A pen-shaped tool

You will need a pen-shaped tool that you will use to collect the diamonds and place them on the canvas. A toothpick will also be a good choice if you do not have a pen-shaped tool.

5. Gel/wax

The role of gel or wax is to stick the diamond pieces onto the canvas. Some diamond painting art kits contain glue instead of wax or gel. Either way, make sure the glue, gel, or wax does not dry faster so that you can get time to move the pieces around before it dries.

Conclusion

Note that the painting kit’s contents depend on the store or the dealer that is selling the products. Regardless, before you purchase the product, you need to check out what is in the kit to make the best choice.

Types Of Baby Bottles In The Market

by Pamela July 1, 2020
written by Pamela

Baby bottles are used by both infants and young children to feed. Also, they can also be used by kids that are finding it hard to drink from a cup. Feeding bottles come in a wide range; thus, to buy right baby bottles, you need to know the types that are available in the market. Baby bottles can be categorized based on their material, design, and brand. In this write-up, we categorize them based on their materials.

baby bottle

Types of materials used to make baby bottles

Below are some of the top materials used to make baby bottles;

1. Plastic

Plastic baby bottles are the most common kinds of water bottles. They are highly preferred because they are lightweight, affordable, and very strong. This means that babies can hold up the bottles on their own even if they are filled up. However, the downside to plastic baby bottles is that they are not as durable as the other types (especially glass). Plastic is prone to issues like melting, especially when they are washed with hot water, boiled for sanitation, or when placed in the dishwasher. Some types of plastic contain harmful materials. For instance, plastic with BPA could cause cognitive and behavioral challenges in kids.

2. Glass

Next to plastic bottles, glass baby bottles are also very popular. Glass is preferred because it is very durable. It can be boiled without worries of breaking or warping. If they are well taken care of, glass water bottles can last for a lifetime. However, the downside to glass bottles is that they are much heavier than their counterparts. Such bottles are, therefore, commonly used for kids that are young and not ones that can feed themselves. The bottles are also prone to breakage when they are dropped. Therefore, most people opt out of glass bottles. The bottles are also more expensive than plastic bottles.

Which Is The Better Option (Glass Vs. Plastic)?

Plastic bottles are more popular than glass ones because they are lightweight and easy to handle. The bottles are also quite affordable and strong. They are not prone to breakage when they fall. They can, therefore, be used by both toddlers and kids that can hold the bottles for themselves. Glass bottles are not a bad option, especially for smaller kids, because they need a lot of caution when handling.

3. Silicone

Silicone baby bottles are relatively new in the market. Silicone bottles are moldable and quite stretchy. They are, therefore, easier to clean and can withstand very high temperatures, unlike plastic bottles. This means that babies can squish the bottle material like the breast when feeding. These are the main reasons why the bottles are quickly increasing in popularity. The only downside to silicone bottles is that they are very expensive. They are even more expensive than glass bottles.

Conclusion

Each of the types of bottles mentioned above is beneficial on its own. Therefore, the choice you make as a parent depends on your needs and your budget. You may want to try the different types before making the final choice.

Pros And Cons Of Quartz Kitchen Countertops

by Pamela March 27, 2020
written by Pamela
countertops

A human-made surface, quartz is made up of 10% epoxy (sealer/resin adhesive) and 90% quartzite. The crushed quartzite is crushed and mixed into a smooth pattern that can imitate the more static varieties of granite. These are then formed into a slab. Quartz kitchen countertops feature the look of natural stone but without the consistent need for maintenance.

The reason quartz kitchen countertops are so durable is that quartz is one of the hardest minerals on the planet. A wide variety of colors are available for quartz kitchen countertops, including black, brown, and earthy creams that sparkles and contains remarkable veining patterns. The slabs of quartz are usually created (engineered) in geological labs. In this write-up, we shall focus on the pros and cons of quartz kitchen countertops.

Why quartz can be considered better than granite

The main ingredient in quartz countertop slabs is quartz, which makes up roughly 94% of the pieces. The quartz is combined with polyester resin to bind it together. Color pigments are also added to enhance the finish of the quartz slabs. In some cases, metallic particles and even recycled glass are added to the mixture to give it a lustrous finish and aesthetic. The resin also works to make the quartz kitchen countertops resistant to staining and scratching.

They’re also non-porous, meaning that it is not necessary to keep resealing quartz countertops. Numerous manufacturers create multi-hued slabs and incorporate many flecks. This random patterning makes quartz kitchen countertops some of the most beautiful around. Initially available with only a polished surface, it is now possible to get sandblasted, honed, or embossed finishes. This means that as a client, you can get matte limestone, glossy granite, and even textured slate finishes for your quartz kitchen countertops.

Quartz vs. marble kitchen countertops

Marble countertop finishes are the norm in almost all luxury and high-end homes. Marble is derived from natural raw marble that has been sliced, buffed, water blasted, and polished to create the smooth finish of slabs. Marble is more elegant than quartz because quartz is human-made. As for marble, each slab has to be picked by the customer individually. No two pieces of marble will match exactly.

Also, marble tends to become darker with time. The number one enemy for quartz is sunlight containing UV radiation, which yellows the polymers and resins. This means that you should always strive to protect a quartz kitchen countertop from sunlight.

In terms of installation, both quartz and marble kitchen countertops require professionals who can measure, secure, and level the slabs. The challenge in marble installation is seaming two plates together. Marble costs more, but quartz kitchen countertop installations are also expensive due to the complicated procedures involved.

Pros of quartz kitchen countertops

  • The countertops are low-maintenance and need to be wiped with soapy water.
  • Quartz countertops are design-friendly – you can get jumbo slabs or standard slabs of 120 by 60 inches.
  • Quartz surfaces are anti-microbial – the resin and polymers make quartz non-porous, meaning that the bacteria which causes mold and mildew cannot enter the surface.

Cons

  • Quartz requires protection from direct sunlight
  • It is expensive compared to more straightforward DIY options such as laminate and concrete
  • It is not suitable for extreme heat uses

Conclusion

Kitchen countertop designs can be obtained from a variety of materials, including quartz, marble, and granite. Quartz kitchen countertops are superbly easy to maintain but need to be protected from direct sunlight.

Mistakes to avoid When Buying A Tub In 2020

by Pamela March 17, 2020
written by Pamela
5. Bathtub (3)

The bathtub market is awash with different brands and retailers. Whether you opt for online shops or brick-and-motor outlets, you’ll be confounded with dozens of bathtubs to choose from. Therefore, selecting the right bathtub for your house can be a daunting task. If you’re looking to buy a bathtub in Sydney on myhomeware, consider the following factors, especially if you want to buy bathtubs in 2020.

  • The credibility of the seller: The bathtub market has grown over the years, especially with the emergence of e-commerce platforms as one of the mainstream markets. Customers shopping for tubs are confounded with a huge catalog of products to select. The large market size also comes with the disadvantage of the vulnerability of a customer falling prey to unscrupulous individuals who are out to swindle customers of their hard-earned money.

The likelihood of buying cheap knockoffs has also increased manifold. As a standard practice, always carry out due diligence to gauge the credibility of the sellers. Check for customer reviews and buyer ratings sites. Visiting the websites of sellers and reading through their history can offer you an important clue on whether you are dealing with a credible seller.

  • Always ask for referrals and professional opinion: Finding a seemingly good deal on a bathtub can easily trigger an adrenaline rush to make payments immediately. In some cases, such cheap deals may turn out to be expensive because of poor quality products purchased, with little to no chance of recovering your money. It is always advisable to ask your friends and colleagues to give you referrals.

A referral can attest to the quality of the products. If you are unsure about the bathtub you need, a professional can give you their informed opinion. Always make use of the professional advice offered by a specialist before deciding to buy a tub.

5. Bathtub (3)
  • Be prudent when budgeting: The best financial decisions are mostly those that we make based on a plan. A budget is a plan that guides you towards finding a tub that suits your financial plans and needs. Draw a budget that includes installation and transport costs. A prudent budget is made based on available information on market prices. Therefore, search the internet and visit walk-in stores to get a big picture of the financial overlay needed to purchase and fix a particular bathtub. If you are making the purchase online, review the product catalogs, and confirm if the prices include the shipping cost.
  • Understand your needs: Do you need a wooden, porcelain, or ceramic bathtub? What size would fit into your bathroom? These questions are critical in determining what you need. Measure the bathroom area and calculate how much space will be needed to fit that beautiful cast iron bathtub you plan to purchase. It would be best if you can create a mental picture of how the bathtub will blend with your house and bathroom.

Take-Home

Bathtubs are costly installations that will leave a big dent in your pocket. Therefore, you need to think critically before making such a huge financial decision. Before you order for a tub, always understand your needs, budget, and ask for referrals.

Instructions On How To Clean A Bathtub Using Simple Products

by Pamela November 13, 2019
written by Pamela

Bathing in a bathtub that looks dirty doesn’t leave you feeling clean no matter how much soap and water you’ll use. It’s advisable to clean your bathtub regularly to keep it clean and germ-free. The tub should be cleaned at least once a week then gets a deeper scrubbing once a month.

A Bathtub

Cleaning A Bathtub

When the bathtub is used regularly in a household, grime, mold, surface grime, mildew, soap scum, lime-scale, dirt, stubborn stains, and mineral deposits tend to accumulate in the tub. Cleaning the bathtub isn’t a tough job. All you need is:

  • Tile cleaner
  • Grout brush
  • Sponges or cleaning cloths
  • A small cleaning brush or a toothbrush
  • All-purpose spray or bathroom cleaner

Some everyday non-toxic products that you may also use to make homemade bathtub cleaners are:

  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
  • Bleach
  • Borax
Clean A Bathtub

The steps

  • Protect yourself

Open the windows to keep the bathroom ventilated to protect your lungs especially if the cleaner has a strong scent. You should also wear protective gloves to keep your hands safe.

  • Remove everything from the bathtub

Before you start cleaning, remove things like toys and toiletries from the tub so that the cleaning products do not get on them. Wipe any soap from then or dust that might have built-up.  

While at it, get rid of anything that’s either expired, empty, or broken and won’t be used anymore. As for everything that you’ll continue using, place it aside and put it back in the tub after you’re done the cleaning.

  • Clean the walls

Use the grout brush and tile cleaner as you work your way from the top to the bottom. After you’re done cleaning the walls, rinse them then spray them with the all-purpose cleaner. Scrub the walls again and pay special attention to the obviously dirty spots.

  • Clear out the drain

To clean the drain, pour half a cup of baking soda down there followed by half a cup of white vinegar. Let them sit for several minutes then flush with hot enough water.

  • Apply the tub cleaner or the homemade cleaner to the inside of the tub

Apply the cleaner and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes to make your job easier. After about five minutes, start working from the top to the bottom then rinse the tub thoroughly.

  • Get rid of soap scum

Use a small cleaning brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the soap scum. Start working the corners and then scrub any other corners where soap scum might have accumulated. Soap scum feels like a build-up in the tub or might even have a darkened color. Take your time to scrub it gently.

  • Scrub away the stains

It’s very easy for stains to form around the interiors of the bathtub. If you notice any stubborn stain, you’ll need to give it special attention to make sure that it’s fully removed.

  • Wipe everything down one last time

After you have rinsed the whole tub thoroughly, wipe it down using a clean towel. Make sure that no wet spots are left.

Clean A Bathtub

Keeping the tub cleaner for longer

Taking a bath in the bathtub after a long stressful day soothes the body and leaves you feeling relaxed.  However, if the tub is dirty, it not only makes the entire bathroom feel unclean but it’ll also leave you feeling dirty and stressed.

To make sure that the tub stays clean for a long time so you don’t have to clean it every now and then, do the following:

  1. Rinse the tub’s surface every-time you take a bath. If possible, wipe off the excess water.
  2. Keep an eye on mildew, grime, and soap scum. Quickly clean them off as soon as you notice to avoid buildup.
