Wall/Photo Hanging made of Yarn and Skewers

It was my friend's birthday and I wanted to gift her something made by me. I had her pics from our various trips outside. So thought of getting them printed and prepare a wall hanging. If you will look at the below pics carefully you will be able to make out how simple it is to prepare it. It requires only a yarn,4 skewers and few stuff to make them look pretty. I made the hanging double sided. One side are the coloured pics and other side black n white and sepia images. So total of 8 images. Here is how it looks.

Recycled/ upcycled / Altered Glass Bottles

I had few used olive oil glass bottles at home. So thought of trying my hands at painting them with my acrylic paints. Painting on bottle is much different then on canvas. Had to give them multiple coatings to give a finished look. Here is how it looks.

hope you like them.

Father's Day Card

I prepared this card for the Father's day. The theme I choose is about 'all that he loves'..you can make a similar card with all the things your Dad loves. I stuck a Shirt, a badminton racket, a car and a book. The shirt and book has little space to write a special message in it. You can check out how to make the origami shirt in the kids craft section of my blog.

Light up your home with ur kids

Well i am posting this at a very old time, Diwali is far away. But this is a project I think would be great involving your kids doing it. Few simple things and your home will be ready for the festival.

I prepared this stuff for the last Diwali party in hardly an hours time.All you need is paper, pair of scissors , some old glittery wrapping paper and some painting colour of your choice.

You can prepare the firecrackers of your choice and decorate with your kids....to bring the festival of lights to your home.

I also decorated this plain glass with some glitterly beads and put a candle inside to finish the Diwali look

Bon Voyage!

One of my friend is going to India . Thought of preparing a Bon Voyage card for her. Hope she has a safe journey. Here is the final product.

Card has been prepared with a white card stock. I have stamped leaf and daisy with my rubber stamp and stuck that piece with dual side tape. Another tag ' Bon Voyage' has been stuck directly on the stock. I have stuck two butterflies (pink for her and small blue for her baby boy ) with wings folded upwards to give some dimension. I wrapped it in a tissue paper with a red string. Here is how it looked.

She smiles like Mona Lisa!

My days are full of smiles. Well all because of my cute lil princess.Whenever she smiles I just cant stop smiling back at her.She has really lite up my life with her beautiful smile. When she smiles at me I forget all the worries of mine....motherhood is such an amazing feeling.

Love you Ananya!
