White tissue paper flower and paper bag basket

I wanted to put something on my corner table ,so I decided upon this flower basket.The idea was to reuse,less cost and less time.This diy project has two parts 

1. Basket
2. Flowers

Basket

I had seen this beautiful idea of DIY project on icreativeideas.com where you covert a glass jar using brown paper into beautiful vase.Inspired by it I created a basket from plastic cake packing cover.I didn't want to use glass as the table is low and kids can access it thus may break and hurt themselves(when you have really curious kids around).

Material:

1. Plastic cake packing cover
2. Brown paper bag
3. Glue

Clean the cake cover and dry it.

Take the brown bag cut into thin strips.

Twist the strips and glue it to the cake cover.

    Flowers

As the basket was big enough and I required about 20 or more flowers so I choose something which are fast easy and have volume too.So I settled for pompoms.For stem I used news paper/ad papers.

Material :

1. White Tissue paper
2. Green Tissue paper
3. Stapler/Thread
4. News paper/ad papers
5. Glue

Take paper and roll to make sticks for stem.Glue the ends.

Cut the tissue papers into squares.I cut my sheet into 16 squares each.

Arrange them into group of four with one green at bottom and rest three are white.Fold into accordion fold.Fold at the middle and staple.Cut edges into half circle.

Now open the white layers up and green once down.Glue a stem to the center on the green side.Arrange the flowers.For presentation I have used a white doily.

Paper Quilled Christmas Tree

After ages made something.Its a paper quilled christmas tree made of 5mm green quilling paper.For base I used or rather reused a ribbon spool and 6 inch round doily from DollarTree.The gift boxes are made of thermocol from the packing material,gift papers,colour paper and 2mm quilling paper as ribbon.Santa cap is made of plain red Postit note and cotton.The red ball decorations are made of crepe paper and lil sparkles.Tree topper star is 5mm yellow paper quilled star covered with golden sparkles.

Kinder Joy DIY Ladybug

This time its Ladybug out of Kinder Joy cover. Paint the cover red and leave it to dry.

Paint the narrower side black to make the head.

Draw a black line in the middle( mine went a little to the other side).Draw the black spots.

Add googly eyes or draw them.

Here are some Ladybugs made out of pistachio shell 

So the mother bug and the little ones......

Kinder Joy DIY Tortoise

Another of Kinder Joy cover reuse.The shell of the tortoise is made of Kinder Joy cover.

Take a Kinder Joy cover and color it green and olive green.

Keep it to dry .

Draw pattern on it with yellow.I drew some hexagon..Cut out the sides.Draw the head ,limbs and tail pattern on a card stock or thick color paper .Cut it out and stick the limbs on to the inside of the shell. 

The Head and the tail will be stuck on the outer shell.

For Eyes I have used black bindis..you may use googly eyes or color alternately.

Kinder Joy DIY Penguine

 These penguins are made from Kinder joy covers.I had a few Kinder Joy covers which I felt could be converted to something interesting .I tried to find some use but apart from conversion to Ladybug could not find anything else.Here I have tried to make a penguins.

Colour the cover with white color and leave it to dry.

Trim the sides and color it black.Leave it to dry .

Add Googly eyes or alternately you may draw them or stick paper made eyes.Make feet ,nose and wings .Attach them.

You may put cap or other accessories to decorate it.

Simple Hairband

I had a few blank thin black metal hair bands which I bought long back to try some DIY craft and had conveniently forgotten about them.Here are a set of hairbands I made for my daughter and niece from them.

These hairband take hardly 10-15 minutes to make .

Material required :--

1. Blank hairband    
2. Stone/Bling Lace 
3. 1.5mm Satin ribbon
4. Scissor
5. Glue gun/ Fevi quick/ adhesive

Take required amount of lace and fix it on the hairband.I took around 20cm long lace.

 

Fix the ribbon to one end of the hairband and start wrapping it around the band covering it till the other end.

Secure the end with adhesive.

Done.
