Making white sponge flowers

A new work on flower making. After a gap I'm here with flower making. Majorly everyone is familiar with cloth flower making and paper flower making. Here is something new with Sponge flowers. Yes flowers made out of white sponge.

The technique of making is exactly the same the only difference is material, instead of cloth or paper you need is a sheet of sponge to make these beautiful little rose flowers.

All that you need is sheet of sponge, aluminium wire, thread and green tape.

Here are some pictures of sponge flowers by which you will come to know the technique of sponge flower making.

How to do Ceramic work on Cup?

Here after a long time doing something on ceramic. I was just wondering on what should be the next things I'll be doing. As I'm making a Ceramic mural which is quite exciting for me as I'm doing it or the first time i thought of having a small ceramic work somewhere else too. So this time its a cup a normal looking plane cup.

I have done this ceramic work on cup which turned out amazingly too good.

This time ceramic does not have fevicol and all for mixing i used DINK. It is edible gum crystals are available in small pieces especially meant for eating after being cooked. It has 2 colour one clean white and brown. The brownish variety is basically used for adhesive purpose.

You need to get 1kg of DINK grind it properly and make fine powder out of it. Now soak the powder in water. The water level and DINK powder level should be same, now check out the next day and you can find it sticky and highly adhesive.

Materials used:

1. Whitening powder
2. DINK adhesive
3. Fevocil (White Glue)

How to make the dough:

1. Firstly take some amount of DINK and add 2tbsp of Fevicol (white glue)according to that add the same proportion of Whitening powder.

2. Mix all the three together nicely and make a dough. Proper soft dough.

3. To keep this dough last longer you need to keep it covered in a wet cloth inside an Air tight container.

4. Now take the required dough and make any shapes and designs you need and use it on any surface and make a beautiful looking ceramic work.

Here is the one i made on the cup. Ceramic flowers on the cup.

How is it? Comments please:)

How to make Kundan Flowers?

Friends have you ever thought you can make some different things out of Kundan stones other than some pretty jewellery or some Kundan work on dress and Saree's.

I have never thought of any use of these kundan stones other than jewellery and work on cloth. But that's not all you can actually make some pretty show pieces out of these stones, yes you can make kundan flowers out of these stones. and here is one more of my trial on new work on Kundan beads flowers.

Now how to make it and materials required:

Materials:
1. Kundan stones/beads (different colours)
2. Golden wire (flower making wire)
3. Green tape

How to start with:

1. Firstly cut a piece of golden wire as per the length required by you.

2. You can see there are two holes on either sides of the Kundan stones/ beads

3. Insert the wire into the holes from back side of the stone, fold the wire and twist it.

4. This forms one petal and in the similar way make 5-6 petals as you need to make one flower.

5. After your petals are ready hold them aligned together and twist the remaining part of the wire and open the petals slowly and form a flower shape.Twist the wires
tightly and form the stem of flowers.

6. Now Now stick green tape around the stem.

7. Similarly make more such flowers and arrange them beautifully.

Sounds simple ..!! and yes it is simple to make such good looking show flowers.

I hope everyone will try out this art work and share with me.

Quilling patterns - Quilled Accessories Clip

Thought of doing something more new in quilling and here i made a hair clip out of these simple paper strips.

It was not much difficult to make quilled hair clip and it came out really pretty.

I got a normal hair clip removed all those show things out of it and made it into a plane normal clip.

Now take 3" long yellow strips made it into teardrop shapes. Attach 5 teardrop to make one flower and 1" tight circle to make the flower center. In the same way make 5-6 flowers according to the clip size.

Now stick those flowers to the clip and your beautiful smart quilled clip is ready to use.
So try out this new creation in quilling and impress everyone by your own handmade clip.

Quilling Craft - Quilled Wall Clock

Here is something new in quilling craft which i made today. Here is a new quilled wall clock.

This was just a normal clock from which i had to remove all the needles and everything had to be taken out from the clock and i made it just a piece of plastic.

Here i had used a white mount board, cut it to the size of the round shaped clock.
Stick the mount board over it and make any kind of design you need to show it as clock.

Here it is like i made 4 red flowers to show as time 12.00, 3.00, 6.00, 9.00 and you can think of anything like this to show those timings proper perfect.

So this is my new creation in quilling. As for first time it didn't turn out that good, but for the first try cant be considered good.
