Tutorial – how to upcycle twigs in a frame

February 5, 2019February 5, 2019 naush

Hello friends.

I am delighted that I will be sharing this post with Fluster Buster. Infact I am excited that I will be contributing one of my projects every month with Fluster Buster !!

I am drawn towards art which serves a purpose and helps the environment as well. Art with found objects like plastic bottles and salvaged wood chunks is so much fun and gratifying too.

I love giving a new lease of life to the forsaken, the forgotten, and the overlooked items lying in the corners of our home.

Old, beat up photo frames are some of my favorite ‘patients’

Today I am using some twigs from my backyard and a picture frame which did not have a backboard and lacked a glass front as well – perfect for this project.

love the pops of color (reds and pinks) on the mat grey frame.

I believe, crafters can breath life into any mundane object with their glue guns and some spray paint 🙂

This frame is ideal as a handmade gift or perfect to adorn the Valentine days mantle.

I hope you liked this frame and might consider attempting something similar.

Tutorial – Upcycle Tuna can to a Candle holder

February 2, 2019 naush

Hello friends,

Are you fond of candles ? I love candles and don’t miss any opportunity to buy the ones with a good fragrance – especially the vanilla ones from Ikea.

Tuna can makeover (1)

As much as I love candles, I find, the hardened remnants of the candles after burning, quite annoying. Hence I thought up of a simple solution, to save my candle stands from repeated abuse by the excess wax clumps.

Upcycle tuna can

The tuna cans/containers can hold the candles by themselves or can be placed on the candle stand.

Whats even great is, once the wax hardens in the can/container, it can be easily heated with a lighter to melt the wax !!

Simple – isn’t it ?

So here, I am showing how we can dress up a tuna can.

I think what I really like about the container makeover, is that it can stand alone or be placed on a candle stand, and it makes a shabby chic impact.

Adding embellishments is an optional step. I’ve added pearls to the lace bcoz twine, lace and pearls are my favorite combo.

If you intend to dress up a Valentines day decor or a mantle, having a couple of these would really add a touch of elegance.

I hope you like this makeover as much as I do, and might even consider attempting something similar !

Tutorial – Felt Phone Pouch

January 27, 2019February 5, 2019 naush

Hello Friends.

I’m back with a fun and funky felt pouch tutorial.

felt pouch tutorial (8)

In my previous post, I shared, how we can make hair accessories, jewelry as well as book marks with felt, so today, we’ll see how we can design a fun felt case or pouch for the mobile phone.

Ofcourse, you can use these pouches to carry anything apart from phones as well.

You can also gift it your friends as valentines gift or mothers day gift or even teachers day gifts.

I must confess, I am quite a novice at sewing. The only thing, I can sew is fallen off buttons !! But I decided to break the curse 😉 and give it a try.

The black pouch was the first one I sewed so the irregularities in the stitches, are pretty obvious, but I think, I got the hang of it by the time, I started the second (blue) pouch.

So I started with a rectangle shape, after measuring my phone dimensions and . . . .

I know, the sewing is far from good but i think, with the next pouch, I tried the blanket stitch and turned out looking great.

Bonus tutorial of how to make a tassel !!!

I could not have taken more photos while tying the tassel since I’d need more than 2 hands !

I’m delighted with these pouches. My mobiles sit perfectly in them.

I have added two quilled flowers ( tutorial here) in the blue pouch. I distressed the flowers with some (Tim Holtz) Rangers Distress ink.

I think the pictorial is pretty self-explanatory, isn’t it ?

I hope you liked it and might consider attempting a felt creation !

Tutorial – Tray Makeover with Decoupage

January 12, 2019February 5, 2019 naush

This makeover was easy and fun – just the kinda projects, I enjoy.

The steps are super easy.

Decoupage is a very forgiving form of art. Alot of errors can be overlooked and ‘hidden’.

There’s something so soothing about shabby chic hence I’ve used pastel peach color. (Just cannot stand the wood color – but did not want to dump the tray either.)
