Carousel

Hey guys, I did a guest post at my friend Zografia's blog " made by Bisozozo ".  She is a wonderful person and you must check out her blog she makes very Stylish stuff from jewelry to lamp or anything!

I'm excited to share this post both because I did some recycling and I made something useful!  We have all seen Carousels, they are so fascinating, shiny and fun to ride but this not just a Carousel it is also a Jewelry storage system.

First I decided how I wanted to construct the cardboard Carousel shape then I incorporated jewelry storage ideas into it.

At the bottom it has a round box to store jewelry ..It has flowers on one side and butterflies on the other..

Then the top part can also be removed, I made it in a way so that I can keep my Bangals here.  As the unicorns are attached to the top part of the Carousel, bangals can be easily added or taken out without any hassle

So here are the construction details: 

Bottom part - first I created a round box and it's lid  

Middle part - Take a cylinder shape (I recycled one from foil paper packaging) make a 1 inch slit on it. Bend the sides and glue them on the lid of the box so as to attach the cylinder and the lid together. 

To cover it and secure the cylinder shape in place I glued a cardboard circle , with a hole in the middle to slide through the cylinder, on top of the lid.

Top part - I cut out a hexagon shape from cardboard, glued 6 ribbons on it and on top of it I glued a cone with a bead on it. This time again  I kept a hole in the hexagon shape to fix the cylinder  there and then I started decorating it ... 

I had an amazing time designing, creating and decorating this project and I hope you enjoyed viewing it !!!

Thank you!

This is a Halloween card with a scary house (Bhoot Bangla types) that is full of creatures and monsters, some of them are peeping through the window and a ghost is coming out of the door.

Stack of Books

I have made Stack of books that has secret drawers and here's the video tutorial by Annie.

I have recycled packaging cardboard and sheets for this project.  To make the book pages pattern I drew some lines and then painted the sheet with coffee so that it looks like old book pages.  These pink flowers are handmade and added some pink ribbons to the drawers as bookmarks.

Altered Clipboard

Altered a boring clipboard and made it bright and colorful so that its fun to use.  This is a quick and easy project, did not want to decorate much so that it is easier to use, just added a flower and a ribbon loop for the pen

:)

Enchanted Fairy Chandelier

This is a project inspired from fairy stories .. and it's a chandelier made out of paper, cardboard and thread .. 

 For the circle I cut a cardboard/paper plate from center, I then painted the ring thing in lime color and added some ribbon around it.  In the center I added a bow and a fairy that's actually a Christmas tree ornament.

Butterflies are cut from old book paper, flowers are handmade and I have added bling/sparkle on flowers.  In random order I threaded butterflies, flowers, leaves but pearl beads at last.  Then tied 12 such strings to the ring and the chandelier is complete.

Christmas Tree

It may be too early for making a Christmas tree, but I had this wooden pen holder that was boring and I had to do something with it.  So, I changed it into a Christmas tree. 

First I made a cone shape and then I started layering green paper like adding ruffles to a skirt.  Finally, added some glitter and a star on top to complete the tree.

This used to be a pen holder:

Here's the cover of the mini album that I have been working on and it's The Story of US..  

I have altered the oval frame by adding some white pearls to it.. burnt the edges of golden paper ..used a special heart shaped hanging object that's called 'Latkan' .. I'm not sure but I think that is added on dresses but it's so pretty so I got it for my project.  Recycled a box chipboard to make this cover.

For My Special Friend

This card I have made for my special friend Manju .. also as a guest DT for Crafty JC Challenge.  The challenge is to make a card for a special lady (could be anyone whom you admire) to celebrate Mother's day.  I used Sarah Kay image and colored it using mixed media technique so you could see markers, pencil colors and glitter paint used in the image.  I have also added my handmade flower to it.
