Hanging Flower vase illusion craft

Hello friends..

After a long time it feels so good to post.. Today's craft is inspired by an illusion art. A flower vase is made to look like like it is hanging in the air and the flowers are falling from it.. I have seen many cakes decorated by using this technique..

 A fork is pasted on the centre of the pink plate with hot glue.. ThensSmall fabric roses and precut leaves arepsted along the fork as to hide it completely.. A small container is pasted at eh handle end.. and some flowers and leaves are pasted inside it too. 


Once it dries, it gives the illusion of the vase magically hanging in air and the flowers are falling from it.

Hope you liked my craft..

Kids Badges made with Chart paper

Hello everyone..
We never know the true value of the time we allocate to share with our children. If we spend our time with our kids, it will become their most treasured memory. All mothers will realize that when they talk to their child. They will remember about that joyous time up to very minute detail even when we can't.. If we play with our child,they will feel secure and respected.

So today I have posted a small craft about making a simple badge made with chart paper..But for sure it will become a treasured possession for their whole life. Please make your children get involved and encourage them to do.

How its Made:

First cut a chart paper in to a small circle or any shape liked by them..

Draw their favorite outline. for example, a star or a diamond.

Apply glue and put some glitter on that shape. After 5 minutes, dust off the excess glitter and they will stuck only in the places where the glue was applied.

Now write any inspiring or any word that your child will feel proud in wearing on them.. Stick a small safety pin in the back and past another chart paper to place the pin in its place..

Attach a decorative ribbon as border. Let it dry.

 Now a cute badge is ready for your kid to wear..

Decorated Ganesha Wall hanger-made from CD

Hello everyone..

Its good to be back after a long time.. Today I have posted a decorative wall hanger made with CD. 

With the new age of teeny tiny storage devices, Cds have almost become a collector's item.. But its a wonderful base for several art and craft works because of its usual compactness and the wonderful reflective surface.. 

how many of us have age old CDs at home which is of no use to us and just gathers dust? Well, we can see infinite methods to reuse them in the internet.. This craft is one of a million ways to reuse an old CD.. 

Here is my wall hanger..

 

My wall hanger was made as a gift. I have pasted a precut golden colored plastic Ganesha in the center of a CD. The outlines are decorated with several colored beadstrings..

By placing a satin ribbon at the back of this CD, paste another CD facing outwards and stick stone patches and a beadwork at the bottom part finishes this beautiful home decor... 

Hope you liked my craft. Thank you for visiting my blog

Handmade toy for Kids-Bus

Hello everyone..

Last week, When my kid showed me her school circular about doing a home project (Topic-Ur kids favourite means of transport),little did I know that she likes bus this much.. I thought of doing a simple car with some paper plates and chart paper..

When she was excited about the big bus, then came the idea of turning a toy box of Talking Tom into a bus..Though I had an idea in my heart, as it was  my first attempt, I was a little nervous.. The finished bus was like this..

It all started with the outer carton of a toy and a piece of thermocoal.. Cut out the external flap and fold the cover to form the shape of the front of the bus..

 

Now for the wheels, I have made circles of about 4 cm radius..out of thermocoal and pasted it onto the sides of the box with fabric glue..

Now comes the fun part.. We can decorate the bus with color papers, some stickers and shiny cards for the windshield and back glasses..

Voila..

Handmade Flower chariot with old CDs

Hello everyone..

Gifting always brings us joy and comfort.. In a way, Gifting is also twice blessed like mercy. Gifting someone something gives both the giver and the receiver a great feeling of happiness and satisfaction, even pride.. Isn't it?

When I wanted to gift a ring..I thought that the box was too small and then suddenly it hit me..why not I present my gift in a little more bigger sized box? With that thought, when I was youtubing,I came across these wonderful flower carts and cycles made with plastic cups and old Cds. Inspired by those videos, I made this flower cart with sponge,CDs, readymade plastic flowers, popsicle sticks and some decorating materials..

The finished cart looked like this..

 I colored the CDs in brown color to give an earthern feel to it.. The cart was made with a packing material sponge and colored in brown and golden dust.. The artificial flowers are inserted into an oasis flowerbed and the ring is placed in the center..

When I gifted this ring in this way, It surely gave me pleasure and pride in creating something rather just handing out a small box .. When my aunt received, she thought that the cart itself is the present and the ring was icing on the cake.. I felt so happy to be felt that my creation with simple things gave her  more happiness than a golden ring..

Hand made Thailand Accessories

Hello everyone..

Kids are always cute... But you will be amazed when a liitle fancy dress party comes in their way...and they look completley adorable.. For my daughter, the theme of the fancy dress was Traditional costumes of different countries other than India, as they celebrated  "World Population Day" in their school. 

So I researched throughout the net and finally decided to go with Thailand.. For dressing her up, I decided to use her own dresses and layered it like a traditional Thai costume.. But when I wanted to accessorize her, that's when thing got interesting.. 

All of Thailand's accessories were unique  and I started making them with the things that I had..

First of all, I made a head dress with golden leaf like structures around her hairbun..
This required some satin flowers and golden glitterd foams(As I could not find golden foil leaves)..
They were all tied up over a thin golden wire that is usually used in making stocking cloth flowers..

After stitching the flowers on to the wire, we can attach the golden leaves and let the glue dry for about 2 to 3 hours.. Now the headdress is ready..

Now for the hip belt, I have glued two circles of chart paper on both sides of an old bangle.. And attached it onto some golden laces.. we can decorate the center piece of the belt with stones and gems...

 

 At last comes the hair pin. We know that beaded hairpin is essential for Chinese and Japanese costumes, But it is also a part of Thailand's traditional costume..

I have decorated a piece of flower shaped chart and attached some toothpicks for  the comb..The finished hairpin looked like this..

So that is all for today friends.. Hope you liked my post..Thank you for visiting my blog..

Stocking cloth butterfly

Hello everyone..

I love flowers and butterflies very much.. They have their unique way of expressing our thoughts and feelings.. So today I have posted a handmade butterfly made by using stocking cloth.. When I did this butterfly, I didn't even know what a blog means..

The butterfly is made by stretching the  stocking cloth over the golden rod.. The center body is made of paper and the whole butterfly is decorated using golden outliner, beads and some sequins..

Birthday Gift - Cake Box

Hello everyone..

Today is my daughter's birthday.. the most exciting day for my 6 year old.. So to make things still more fun, I have transformed a plastic box into a cake shaped goodies box and gifted it to her.. She was so happy with her gift..

There are many wonderful gifts and gift shops are available everywhere and we can buy any of them .But when we gift something that was hand made by us..(even though it is simple..), the joy we see on our kid's face is definitely worth it... They realize the time and effort we have put onto creating something exclusively for them.. and thus our bond becomes stronger..

Actually,I love the cute gifts from shops..So I combined both the gifts by placing a shop bought gift inside my handmade gift.. I highly recommend you to try this..for it will bring joy and fun for sure..

Here is what the cake box looked like..

 How to:

Make the lid: 

1. Place a sponge on the lid and tape it
2. Stretch a stocking cloth and tape it in the bottom of the lid
3. This forms the cake top 
4. We can decorate it with crystals,Pearls,glitersand any other decor items. 

Here is how the side of the box will look like..

Make the side of the cake box:

1. Place a sponge along the side covering the whole box
2. Paste a net cloth on the sponge
3. Decorate it with stickers or other such things..

 Now comes the fun and surprising moment..Open the box to see all the personalized goodies and gifts..

 

 

We can place any gift according to our kid's favorites..I have placed a small teddy bear fridge magnet, a small hand made greeting card, some Dora stickers(Her favorite..) and some chocolates..

Hope you liked my post...Thank you for visiting my blog.. Please leave your valuable opinion..

Have a nice day..Keep on crafting..

Handmade Kids Greeting Card for Dad's Birthday

Hello everyone..

The most exciting and interesting day for anyone is their birthday..So when my kids wanted to make a greeting card to wish their dad on his birthday, I was excited too.. This card represents the wonderful combination of birthday and crafting along with my kids love..

The card (though a little time consuming) came together so nice.. There are no words to explain the joy and pride on the face of my daughters when they finished and placed the card inside an envelope.. 

So here is how the card was made.. the rectangle card stock is self designed and it is folded along the center..The opening page has a hand written title and bordered with some red paper which was cut with a tulip shaped paper cutter stamp.

There is also a cute hand drawn crayon cartoon of my two daughters(drawn by my elder daughter) at the bottom right corner..

I have made the center page of my greeting card inspired by a classic technique of palm tracing
i.e.,

1. Place ur child's palm on the cardboard
2. Trace it and cut the cardboard in that shape
3. Place it on another cardboard and draw them..
4. Repeat Step 3 by keeping the palm card on many angles..

I have used blue color for my younger daughter's palm and red for my elder one.. with the "happy birthday dear daddy" message placed among them..

Now, this is another card made with a foam sheet in my kid's palm shape representing  close your eyes symbol.. There was a pen sticked inside the card which was the surprise gift..

Thank you for visiting my blog.. Hope you like my kids cards.. Feel free to comment below..

HandMade Mseal Pizza Fridge Magnet

Hello everyone..

"Deception in an art is astonishing"-Quote

We all love pizza... Imagine we can see its cute version everytime we open our refrigerator.. Wonderful.. isn't it? So, Today my post is a fridge magnet made by using shilpkar mseal(epoxy compund), which looks like a  pizza with beautiful ingredients like onions, black olives, little chicken chunks,tomato,mushroom,etc.,

I have pasted  a card board on a fridge magnet and used it as a base for my pizza.. and upon that, I have pasted those veggies with fabric glue (just a precaution... The mseal alone will also adhere nicely) and arranged it on that card board.. After a day, it becomes dry.. Then I have painted on them using acrylic colors..

This was a gift to my husband on his birthday... So I have carved "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on the crust.. Take a look..

Thank you for visiting my blog.. Hope you enjoyed this artwork...
Feel free to comment... Keep on crafting... Have a nice day..
