Paper Flower -with paint chips

I had these paint chips collected from the past painting projects. And this was the easiest use of these I thought. Looks great too 😀

All you need is a cardboard base to glue these on, some black construction paper for the center, glue,  scissors and of course paint chips or colored construction paper to cut out petals and you are set.

Paper Rosettes Wreath

 

Most of the times I have some kind of wreath hanging at my door. But for the past month or so, there has been nothing, since I have been looking for something new. So made this rolled paper flower  wreath to hang on the door and I am loving it..:)

Handcut Paper Leaf

 

I am hooked to paper cutting, atleast for now, till I find something more interesting to do ..😊 This requires the least amount of things, no glue, no other fancy stuff, just paper and cutting tool and I can grab these anytime and sit with these two things and cut away.. 

Magazine Wreath

This does feel like a piece of art. Oh well, that's what I told my husband when he saw this project in the making ..:)  See, while growing up, we had these small corner stores that would pile up receipt in the pin stand. So he made a comment that this looked like those receipts piled up ..lol ..  I told him its still art and well we didnt know to appreciate art back then ..:D

Paper Cut

This was a quick paper cut that I made after the busy day. I just wanted to make something and this is what I made. 

Recycling magazine - Vase

I am continuing to recycle loads of magazines and this time I used them to cover a canned tin to use as a vase. Its simple, colorful and I love it ..:)

Paper Sunburst

So I have been rolling magazine sheets in hopes of recycling/reusing the stack of magazines I have lying around.  This is the first of many that I used the rolls for.  Simple but striking I would say..:)

Handcut Paper

Here's another one of the handcut paper which I worked on this past weekend.

Folded paper art

I have been thinking of ways to use the bunch of old magazines I have lying around. So other day while watching a movie I started folding pages of the magazine. Below is the picture of the folded magazine.

Recycling Magazine - Part 2

Just like I mentioned in my previous post, I am still using trying to reuse my magazine pile. So here's another simple project made with magazine..:)

Bunch of Flowers

This time last year, we were out and about enjoying the spring flowers that bloom all around this time of the year.  But as with most of you, we are home for the past few days too. Since, we couldn't go and look at the spring flowers, thought of making a bunch of flowers to enjoy  at home..:)

This is one of the bunches I made this past weekend.

Paper Flowers

Spending time making some more paper flowers today.. what better way to spend being stuck at home time crafting..
Want to make a bouquet of these flowers and have to make more of these to put it all together. But snapped a few pictures of the few I made to show them to you all :)

Paper Rosettes Backdrop

Made this backdrop for a birthday party few days back. Easy decor to set the party. Not only easy but pretty inexpensive too.

Paper Cut Leaf

Its been a while since I made anything or even posted. Had been busy with stuff. This past weekend I was determined to make something and thought of making a cut design. So late in the evening, when the kids were off to bed, I set a movie to watch in Netflix and I did my watching and cutting at the same time ..:D. So it took me longer than usual to cut this piece. But oh well, I got it done..:)

Paper Flowers

This past weekend, had a relaxing time making some paper flowers - some from crepe paper and some from printer paper. I had a day off from work and after so long it felt like i had some free time. And when I have some down time , I like to craft..:)

I have made paper flowers before, but didn’t put it together in a bouquet. So this was part of that attempt. I made a bouquet for my kids teacher too for the teacher appreciation week, but I forgot to take a picture of that 😌.. I wished I did, because that one came out better than I had expected 😀.

Paint Chip Wreath

A couple of years back, when we painted the rooms in our house, I got a bunch of paint chips in order to figure out the colors that we wanted. I saved those paint chips, because the colors looked so pretty and I thought I'll use in one of my projects.
This year too, we were back browsing the colors and I picked some more colors. Now,  it seemed like I had enough paint chips collected to make something. So this is what I made..Wreath made with paint chips...:)

Crepe Paper Flowers

This past weekend, I had fun making these crepe paper flowers with my little one. Infact she did most of the gluing. I just had to cut the papers into petals and she did the gluing part. I had lots of crepe  paper remaining from the crepe paper banner I had made for one of the birthday parties. I knew, I didn't want to store the banner, but didn't want to toss away all those crepe paper pieces which were in good condition. So thought of making flowers. It was a good project to keep my little one busy and she was so excited to make all these.

Paper Ornaments

Today morning when I went out for a walk with my dog, found this branch and thought it would be perfect to hang my paper ornaments. Doesn't it look great?!

Paper Wisteria

You know how it is sometimes, you just cannot capture a picture of something the way you actually see it. These paper wisteria are so much better in person, but I just couldn't capture a good shot which does justice to how good it actually looks. I still have to work on my photography skills..:D

Paper Ornaments

If you have been following my blog, you might have known how much I love working with paper. Before Christmas, we even did this craft at the Sunday school with the kids and they took these ornaments back home to decorate their tree..:)
 It is so inexpensive and fun way to decorate and you can create many different designs. Now that I am thinking you can make a bunch and make a vertical garland with it to make a backdrop. Maybe I should make one to let you know what I mean in one of the posts...:)
