DIY QUILLED MINI LEGS

Hi friends.. 

Today I am going to introduce you the art of Quilling.. For those who don’t know what it is, read the para below.. courtesy wikipedia ;)

Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes which make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewellery, mobiles etc

 Saw this design in etsy shop… Couldn't stop making one...

Things you need

Strips of paper 

Glue

Quilling tool

Scissors

                                                                                                                                                           

 Here I have made two basic shapes in quilling..

DIY BIRTHDAY DECOR

It was my husband's Birthday and as usual I started decorating my house at the last moment… I think my creative mind works only when I am pressurized.

I thought I will make a colorful garland that says Happy Birthday, to decorate my house… I didn’t have enough materials to make it, somehow I managed to make one with few old newspapers,

Take a newspaper , fold and cut it in your favorite shape.. Here I have made  a triangular shape..  

Now paint it with your favorite color….

 Once it is dried write the letters on them with a brush.. You can also use a marker pen…

 Finally glue these paper cuttings on to a thread/wool…. 

Now hang it wherever you want

In the picture you can also see some other stuffs hanging, they are just symbolic gifts :P

Isn't it easy to make.....

DIWALI DIYA / LAMPS

Hi friends .. 

First of all let me wish you and your family a Very Happy and Safe Diwali. Only 3more days left guys.. Lets make this diwali special by revamping your old clay diya’s with some  colorful, handmade diya’s…..     

Take out your old Diwali clay lamps and follow these simple steps to get a new look

Firstly color your old clay lamps with some bright colors .. Here I have used hobby ideas pearl colors.. Let it dry for some time…

Once it is dried decorate it using a 3d out liner in the way you want.. Here I have used gold metallic color for that.. Do it carefully… Keep a waste cloth near to wipe when the design gets wrong.  Let it dry completely…Don’t worry If you don’t have these outliner  just stick some sequences/glitters on your lamp… 

Your Diwali diya is ready.. Is’nt it pretty… If you want to use it as a candle then melt some wax candle and pour into it.. Don’t forget to put the wick before pouring the melted wax…

If u want to use it as a decor u may try double color... (try out dark color inside and contrast color outside)

Will upload the lit lamps on Diwali :)

 If you have any doubts message me in the comment space below…

PEACOCK FEATHER IDEAS

Hi guys I know the amount of posts on my blog are reducing these days… I am not getting enough time to devote coz I’ve been accompanying my husband to places where his job is taking him. It is just that I did not have an internet connection to post my work’s.

What kept me busy these days is the stuff that you see below.

This is just a Fabric painted dupatta inspired from Kerala mural painting that I have posted before.

 My love for peacock feather is very old and I’m so obsessed with it that I even got a permanent tattoo of it.
