Balloon Wreath

When it comes to decorating for special occasions or simply adding a touch of whimsy to your home, few things are as versatile and delightful as a balloon wreath. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, hosting a baby shower, or just want to brighten up your space, a balloon wreath is a fantastic DIY project that's both fun to make and visually stunning. 

Doodling my way

                                            

Thought I share some of my doodles. A great time pass and relaxing at the same time and outcome is not bad either 😊. Not all doodles turn out good, but some, even i’m surprised how well they turn out to be :D

Enjoy! and get inspired :)

Making Stencils

 For all this time I have been cutting papers, but didn't actually cut one to be used as stencils - though it did cross my mind. Few days back though, got an opportunity to make these for a 80s themed party. Some of these I cut out of thick construction paper and  some were cut out of cardboard.

Rock Painting

Spent the weekend afternoon painting some rocks. I used paint pens on some, some I used the paint brush and some I painted with the new dotting tool that I bought few days back. 

I have been waiting to try doing dot painting. Earlier I would just use the paint brush or the pens to draw the dots, but using these tools does make it easier.

Aprons - Resue/Recyle project

In the coming weeks, one of my kids will have Greek unit at school, where they have to dress up in Greek attire. They have lots of fun during this unit, which also includes participating in Greek Olympics.

Usually kids wear a chiton made out of bedsheets for this. So earlier today was looking for old bedsheets to make a chiton. Which I did start to make with a old bedsheet I found, but then I was also remembering the other times, I have reused or recycled my old bedsheets..:)

One of those times was when I used the bedsheet to make aprons for my little one and her friends. These aprons were perfect for the cooking bday we had for her. I embellished them with fabric yo-yos. You can find the tutorial to make these yo-yos here.

Homemade Playdough

 

Wanted to reshare this recipe of playdough, which I had shared quiet sometime back. This is fun and easy to make. And definitely a great way to keep kids busy and occupied in a safe and creative way.

When my kids were younger,  they would spend hours playing with playdough, specially my youngest one.  Now that she is little older, she still enjoys molding and creating. Though she does it with clay.

Paper Rosettes/Flowers

 

Aren't these beautiful!

I cant take the credit for making these beauties though. My daughter made these and I had to learn from her how to make them 😀

Paper flowers are so great for decorations - no worries about them withering and they definitely last longer. 

Doodling

                                      

I have been enjoying doodling these days. Quiet relaxing I would say.

Here are some of the doodles I made.

Which one or ones do you like?
