I decoupage it with foil sheet & its having a new look totally!

You will need to have a Box, piece of thin foil sheet (which is usually used in covering baking tray).. scissor & glue..

First I made a texture of crush over at plain foil sheet, see how I did it..

Carefully make it round & press a little, then more carefully open it. if you will be opening quickly, you will may be torn it.. then place it over the box lid & cut along according to its size. I left a little space because the red color combination was not bad with silver. then glue the box lid & paste the sheet carefully.

the other strips for pasting at sides of the box.

Let it dry & its DONE..

See how I packed all in small transparent packets..

These are a few big rings with stones..

And this ring is gifted by my 5 years old cousin.. he was with his mother while she was shopping & there he request her to bought it for me because he saw me wearing big sized rings. so sweet of my little baby cousin.. I think kids can only enjoy toys shopping for themselves but it seems sweet that  rings at shop reminds him about Me.. aww.. lovely!

Oh yeah..if you think the box is a bit simple, you can give me ideas on how I can embellish its lid..

Here it is.. I made two.. one with white base & the other is with green..

Sorry for the poor image quality, I don’t know what happened..my hands shiver while clicking..

This above image is not by my camera, its taken by my iPhone.

And here it is my INSTAGRAM version.. what a cool app, Are you instagraming?

First I wrap the bangle with clay/dough & I tried making this neat but it wasn’t easy actually.. Then I fix the stones for some bling and some small clay flowers. At the end I simply seal it with mod podge gloss. I also hide the rough sides with red glitter paint.

Two bangles are ready now..dry these for a few hours until clay gets hard..

My hands were so gluey, that’s why I were unable to take many fine  pics.

what do you think now! its simple but many times better than that of golden color version..haha.. am I right? I hope so..

Thanks!

Its the necklace piece, the base is cotton fabric & after doing embroidery,I paste some fleece at back side for hiding the embroidery inner side & also for making this comfortable.First of all I draw the shape of necklace at fabric & then fix it over a hoop & then started working on embroidery. & when I complete my work, then I paste the fleece at back side & trim it. fix the loops & tassel straps & its done!

The big one is Neck piece & the other similar one is arm piece.. which is usually wore by the girls when they are wearing half sleeves..

Material I have used in this Embroidery work is Silk thread, zarri thread(tilla) silver beads, turquoise sequins, silver Rhinestones. If you are curious about this embroidery technique, you can learn through this Tutorial of embroidered leather purse.

The same way; for official work out, a stamp is important. Large organisations have need of stamp that can do a heavy task with-out the need to refill over and over again. That is where we go for Self-inking stamps.

Let me introduce Overnight prints, the professionals work day and night to give the best quality print they can for their clients. They’re fast and reliable with quick support. One can upload his needy design via their site and they will put the magic into it. It’s that simple.

They also have the facility for user to sketch and draw their own design online with an advanced Interactive designer. That is really awesome, give it a try.

Note: This is a sponsored article, and all the views are mine.

Here it is an easy idea about decoupaging a leather diary. Its a new diary,but I was not feeling good with its brownish color.So I hide the color brown & make it girly now.

I did this within 15 minutes, a very easy & quick make over.. you should try this if you are tired of seeing your same/simple diary cover.

You will need to have a floral designed paper, foam brush, scissor, modpodge/glue, sand paper zero,

Process;

- First I measure the diary area where I want to paste the sheet. Then I cut the paper & paste over it.when it will get dry then simply mod podge it.

I did a second coat of modpodge but this time I apply MP sparkle for some blingy look..can you feel some shimmer here?

I make a bookmark too for this diary, you should use zero sand paper for making this diary smooth for holding in hand.

A few bad experiences while crafting are always useful for us in future, as I have missed my tutorial images but from now I will be more careful while working with camera touch system.

Let me know how you feel about my today’s post without step by step images..I hope you can to understand well without all steps because its a very simple and easy idea about decoupage.

Have a Nice Day!

I am a fan of black color & that’s why I choose black leather for making this necklace.

here above you can see the anthros necklace..

I use rhinestones in my necklace, instead of metal studs..

All you need to do is just make lots of leather cuttings & shaping these in flowers but with a raw look..

I use needle & thread for fixing all layers together, but the rhinestones are pasted with transparent glue.

I sew a thick strip of the same leather & then attached the metal chain with needle & thread. that’s it..

done it..paste the flowers/rosettes at that strip, or use needle n thread again.these are light weighted not a heavy bib necklace!

Isn’t it easy & fun idea? I am happy with this version..and what about you my friends?? if you are a fan of Anthropologie, you can enjoy my other anthro inspired accessory tutorials. I will also suggest you to get their free app in your ipad.

Have a great weekend!

I made the dough first & then mix the color in it, & shape those in squares & spheres shape..

I tried to create some marble effects with pink & white but failed to mix these well or may be the color quantity is not well in the dough..there is a very rough marble design showing above..but I will be painting these now.

This is how I made the hole in the beads,after giving shape to the beads, give it some time until they get dry a little, then I make the hole with needle..

Don’t they look like chewing gum?? haha..well these are many..for making different things.. you can share your ideas with me..

I made all these above earrings for sale purpose & I have sold some & also gifted some to my friends as well.. a handmade gift is always nice, isn’t it?

Here it is the other version with green pearl & same square clay beads..

Here it is another clay earring made by me. bright yellow & green with modpodge shine like spring… spring is now totally showering its colors upon us & I wish every season bring lots of happiness to all of you,today..tomorrow & in future too.. Have a great weekend ..

Last week, I get my new sketchbook & the pages are so perfect to work on something creative. So I made some free hand designs & the spring theme was in my mind while working! Have a look..

So fresh n colorful, as our spring season..bright & vibrant..I thought to create some bookmarks, So for their making, I cut a sheet of sketchbook & started making doodles with black pointer tip pen.

I made freehand designs & then started coloring it with brush markers..

Color it..

K is always fresh & vibrant..you know?

I use some textile doodles & designs in making these bookmarks

Doesn’t it looks like fabric prints?

My Teacher gifted me a beautiful Holy Al-Quran Book.. its Tafseer of Surah Yaasin & this bookmark is perfect with this..

These other bookmarks are also going to my some other books…see some of my other colorful bookmarks;
