CROCHET WALL HANGING

Hi friends.........

Happy Sunday to all.........:)

I'm back after a long gap... Today we are going to see another crochet creation. This work is very simple to create, takes few minutes to make and needs no tools.

Crochet Wall Hanging

Materials required:

Yarn (of any two colors) 

1 feet sticks - 2 no's

(I used split-ed bamboo sticks)

How to do:

Tie the two sticks together in a cross pattern. 

Wrap the yarn around them beginning from the center towards end as I did.

I have changed color after every 10 winding's.

Violet and Pink is one of my favorite color combo. I just love the way these colors look together and I find this color combination inspiring.

Important point is that, you should bring the joining knot of two yarns under the stick.

Use 5 loops for hanging.

Add some beads, if you want to decorate it.

But I just added some crochet dongles at the end.

How to make crochet dongle:

Wind the yarn 20 times around your three fingers. 

Slip these strands off the fingers.

Tie the strands at one end and cut the loops at another end.

Now your dongle is ready to hang.

I need your meaningful response for this craft friends..!!!

And feel free to share your trials....!

Keep Smiling....:)

Art with Fruits and Vegetables

Welcome friends…

Here is my next trial on fruits and vegetables carving…  The purpose of fruits or vegetables carving is to make food more attractive to welcome guests at functions like wedding, ordinations etc...


I have not described the procedure and let you to enjoy the pictures...

 There is no need of special carving tools, Just a sharp- pointed knife is enough to carve fruits and vegetables beautifully. Note, extreme care must be taken when working with knives. Don’t allow children to attempt carving.

I have used watermelon and pumpkin this time… 
Here are some of my carvings....

Women's day Celebration

Women's day Rangoli 

 Belated Women’s day wishes friends….. How was your women’s day celebration ….???

I want to tell you one thing…. On last year women’s day celebration, our university organized some contests. We were participated on Rangoli competition and won 2nd prize. Janani, mala and myself put that rangoli. 

We have described the activities of women's in different fields like education, sports, music, house keeping etc. It's really hard to draw all within particular time. So we planned to express social activities of women's through folk art called warli. 

They have given an hour time. We used Crystal salt with color powder.  Even we couldn’t complete the kolam on time, we deserved the prize. Because of our Spontaneous answers to Judge’s questions… They asked so many questions actually…. 

Surprise was, only our photo (taken while we get prize) published on next day's news paper on behalf of entire celebration….

Here is our rangoli... Photo taken from second floor…

Nylon Stocking Serial Light

Hi friends….

Come let us decorate our home with dazzling serial light…

Generally the houses will be lit up with hundreds of tiny electrical lights on special occasions.…Those are known as serial lights because the bulbs are serially wired. You can get it from any local electrical shops.

 I wanted something special to decor my pooja room and chose this light. I transferred the serial light into beautiful glowing flower bunch.…

I made this craft 5 years ago (don’t know where it has gone now) when I got the procedure from a TV program. I just found the photo today and started blogging…  

Materials needed:

Serial light of any color (I bought blue color serial light, so that same blue stocking I used… )

Nylon Stocking cloth

Aluminum wire (silver color)

10  number thread or nylon thread

Green tape

How to do :

Tie a bunch of three bulbs.

Make petals with aluminum wire and stocking cloth. The procedure is same as of wings making in Nylon stocking butterfly.

Then consider the light bunch as stamens and attach three petals one by one, around the bunch.

Wind green tape to cover the tied stock.

Continue the same process for making all flowers. 

Add some artificial leaves.

Now arrange them in a basket as I did, otherwise place them at pooja room or racks or car dashboard or wherever you want…

Switch ON the light…

See how it looks…. NICE na.....???
