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..

Kids-Fancy Dress-Car

"Time spent playing with children is never wasted"

Hello everyone...
Today I have posted the pictures of a cutout car made from thermocol and chart paper, done as my kid's fancy dress..

The car pattern is hand drawn on a white chart paper and colored with poster red and black colors.. It is outlined using a black marker pen.. It is then pasted on a thermocol sheet and the extras are cut out.. The holes in the windows are for the hands..
 In the first photo, we can see the two chart papers that are folded and attached to each side of the car  to join the cutouts..

Thank you for visiting my blog.. Hope you enjoyed my post.. Have a nice day..
