Pressed flower Bouquet

 

 With the pressed flowers that I made using the method mentioned in my previous post, I made this flower bouquet.

 This is such a great way to not only preserve flowers but display them too. Great for preserving some special occasion flowers I think.

Making dried flowers

 

So few days back, I found a new way to make dried flowers the quick and easy way. All this time, I have been drying flowers just like a lot of other people still do I think, pressing between the pages of the book. Then wait for like days to get them all dried up. But not always did they turn out as beautiful and colorful as I would have hoped for. Specially the flowers after being between the pages, they sometimes will loose their color and also turn out to be just brown old pressed flowers 😒.

Rock Painting

 

 The other day, I rearranged some of the river rocks in my yard and thought of bringing some in to paint. And then spent some time relaxing and painting away..:). 

Here are some of the rocks.

Flower Paper Stencil

 

A couple of weeks back finished this paper cut. Sharing my progress to get to the final cut. So here it is

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.. 

Hand cut Paper Card

 

Trying to make paper cards.. I am making lot of small and some big designs to just incorporate into cards.. This is one of them..:)

Paper Cut Butterfly

 

Here's another paper cut..:) Since last time my little one asked me to make a video of me paper cutting, I did remember to make one this time too..:) I have to agree I love watching the time lapse videos of the process. 

Paper Cut Flowers

Past few days, I have been cutting flowers and have been enjoying it. Here are some flowers that I am made. 

Handcut Paper

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 :)

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.

Popsicle Crate Box.

Get some Popsicle sticks and make these small crates. Its cute, its fun and can be used for many different things. Everything is cuter in tiny versions and this little crate is just that. But its still big enough to store or display things.

Mini Pallet Coaster

Few days back, I bought a bag of popsicle sticks for a project my son was working on. We had plenty remaining after his work was done. Then came the idea of making something with the sticks. These coasters were the first thing I made. So inexpensive and looks great...:)

Paper Wreath

How lovely is this wreath!
And so easy to make too.
It was raining here the whole day yesterday and was the perfect day for relaxing at home and get some craft work done. It seems like it has been a while since I made something. Last month was busy with Christmas and other festivities and now I am gradually getting back to my routine. So I started this year, by making this simple paper wreath. It is simple and striking at the same time.

Paper Feathers

I have this new fascination with feathers. And you might have noticed that I love working with papers, so I had to make some paper feathers...:)

After I made some, I found out that lot many people have made and used paper feather in various projects. You can ofcourse use them in scrapbooking, make feather garlands or use in decor..

Here are some of the feathers that I made..:)
