The post Sharpen Your Blunt Kitchen Knives With These DIY Steps appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>Gather Your Tools
Before you begin, ensure you have the right tools for the job. You’ll need a sharpening stone or whetstone, honing steel, and a kitchen towel.
Prepare the Sharpening Stone
Place your sharpening stone on a flat and stable surface. Some stones may require soaking in water before use, so read the manufacturer’s instructions to determine if this step is necessary.
Angle Matters
Hold your knife at a consistent angle while sharpening. A 20-degree angle is a common starting point for most kitchen knives. You can use a sharpening guide or simply practice maintaining the angle by eye.
Sharpening Technique
With the blade edge facing away from you, place the knife’s heel on the sharpening stone. Applying gentle pressure, slide the knife towards you in a smooth and controlled motion, maintaining the angle. Repeat this motion on both sides of the blade, alternating after each stroke.
Use the Honing Steel
After sharpening, use a honing steel to align the edge of the knife. Hold the honing steel vertically with the tip resting on a cutting board. Gradually slide the blade down the steel in a semi-circular motion, keeping the edge in contact with the steel at all times. Repeat this process on both sides of the blade.
Clean and Store
To check if your knife is sharp enough, gently run the blade over a piece of paper. A sharp knife should slice through the paper with ease, leaving a clean cut. Once you’re satisfied with the sharpness, clean the knife under running water to remove any metal shavings. Dry it thoroughly with a kitchen towel and store it safely in a knife block or on a magnetic strip.

]]>Painted Wine Bottle Vases
Who doesn’t love a glass of wine after a hard day’s work? But what do you do with the wine bottle when it’s empty? You put it in the trash, of course. But why not save them to paint and use them as vases? We’re sure there has been a time you received flowers and had nowhere to put them. Well, with your beautifully decorated wine bottles you will always have a place.
DIY Hanging Wall Shelf
All you need is a piece of wood and some macrame cord and a drill if you want to secure it to the wall. You can choose any wood you want and color. Make four small holes with a drill on each corner and then thread through the string, connect it to a macrame ring, and then put it onto a hook in the wall. Add some pretty plants or small books.
Recycled CD Coasters
We all have those CDs sitting in our living room collecting dust, so instead of throwing them away, why not cover them in fabric or paint them and make them coasters for your drinks? Add some stones, make them glossy or matt, whatever your design choice is, make it fun!
Fabric Covered Plant Pots
What can you do with all that leftover fabric you have from costumes you once made? Why not cover your plant pots with it? All you need is some plain plant pots, fabric, and mod podge and you will have a fantastic fabric-covered plant pot to brighten up your home.

]]>Paint Party
Grab some acrylic paints in your favorite colors and let your imagination run wild. Create patterns, floral designs, or even a galaxy-inspired theme. Use different brush sizes and experiment with textures to add depth and character to your shoes. Don’t be afraid to express your unique style and make a statement with your painted masterpieces.
Bedazzle With Rhinestones
Bring a touch of sparkle and glamour to your old shoes with rhinestones. Whether you want to add a few delicate accents or go all out with a dazzling display, rhinestones can instantly transform your shoes into eye-catching accessories. Use fabric glue to secure the rhinestones in place, creating patterns or designs that reflect your personality. Get ready to shine with every step you take.
Fabric Wrapping
Give your shoes a whole new texture and look by wrapping them in fabric. Choose a colorful fabric that matches your style and cut it into strips or shapes. Use a strong adhesive or fabric glue to attach the fabric to the shoes, starting from the base and working your way up. Experiment with different patterns, such as stripes or chevrons, to create a unique and customized design. This DIY technique not only breathes new life into your old shoes but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.

]]>The post How to Turn Your Sweet Potato into a Gorgeous Climbing Plant appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>Step 1: Find an Interestingly-Shaped Sweet Potato
Well, you can also choose a completely ordinary-looking one, but an interesting shape can add that little extra touch of uniqueness. Anyway, just choose a sweet potato, and you’re all set for step two.
더드림팜 
(@thedream_farm_)Step 2: Stick Toothpicks into It
Place all four toothpicks at the same height, which should be somewhere mid-sweet potato. The toothpicks should be inserted deep enough as to not slip out, but so that most of the toothpick still sticks out (roughly 70% of it should be visible).
(@highkeylowwaste)Step 3: Place It in Water
Any empty flowerpot, vase, or even well-washed sugar jar would do. The only important thing is for the opening to be small enough for the toothpicks to be able to hang on the sides of it, keeping your precious sweet potato from sinking in. Use empty rice and coffee jars as vases and get some recycling done in the process.
Fill the vessel of your choice with water, then place the sweet potato inside.
Miri Step 4: Wait
Make sure you replace the water every 3-4 days, and soon (like, really soon, those little orange things are quicker to grow than you’d think) you’ll be seeing roots starting to pop out of the bottom half. Not long after, small branches will follow suit; and finally, green, heart-shaped leaves will appear.
