Pista shell lotus

Hello friends,

We are back with a new post. Today, we have a lotus made from pista shells. All you need is patience to stick the shells together as it can be tricky. I have used Feviquick here, you can also use hot glue gun. You must let it dry completely before painting it. You can then paint as desired with pearl colours.

                                           

                                           

I have posted two pista shell crafts previously in this blog. One is lotus with Ganesha and the other is a wall hanging.

 You can refer to this post.

 It is different from this one in that I have placed a small Ganesha idol in the centre. It can be used as a showpiece or you can also gift it to your friends.

It is a simple wall hanging made on a cardboard, pista shells have been stuck and it has been painted. It can't get simple than this.

Have you ever wondered what to do with the old CDs that lie around in your home? If yes, why not try making something new and different out of it.

DIY Kundan stones rangoli

Hi everyone 

Today's post is a rangoli, we have made it for Navratri (an Indian festival).

Nowadays rangolis on OHP sheet or wooden or plastic boards are trending. These add a festive look to your house. These tend to be expensive, if bought. Why not make it yourself in your spare time? It is very easy to make. 

All you need is 

• OHP sheeet for base
• Ball chain
• Kundan stone or rhinestone
• Half pearls
• Glue
• Glitter for ouline

You can make it in any design you like. Take a print out or draw or  an ouline of the design you want in a sheet of paper. Place the OHP sheet above it. You may secure it with paper clips. Apply glue over the outline and start sticking the embellishments.

Let it dry for few hours. And you are good to go.

 It can be placed in nine different styles,  although we have shown only 6 styles here. It can be used to decorate house during festivals like Diwali and Navratri. 

We hope you try your hands at it. Do let us know how it turned out.

Hope you like it.

Birthday greeting card

Hi everyone
Today's post is a greeting card.

Ever thought to give your near and dear ones greeting cards handmade with love?

Then do try making this card. Though this looks simple, but ain't it cute? Making this card won't take much time. 

 Its background is made using lady's  finger dipped in acrylic paint, along with pink handmade paper. It has a quilled flower in the centre. We have also used some pearls and a butterfly.

All you need is 

• a lady's finger, 
• some acrylic paint,
•  a white card stock or pastel sheet, 
• pattern paper, 
• glue and 
• embellishment of your choice.

Start by cutting lady's finger horizontally, dip it in acrylic paint, press it over white sheet in any way you like. After you are satisfied with the design, let it dry for an hour. Cut your pattern paper vertically or horizontally and stick it on the designed sheet as we have done. Now write the wishes or sentiment, stick some embellishment and you are good to go.

This is so easy that even kids can make this card. It will be fun.

Hope you like it
