KALA HAAT

Today I have come up with something very exiting stuff. Recycled craft is always my passion and I try to make thing from whatever stuff I have with me.

Few basic items that I have used :

1. Pringles Cane
2. Flat File for 2 sides (I doubled the circle i.e 4 circles for strong support)
3. Adhersive
4. Pattern Paper
5. Distress ink
6. Scissor
7. Laces, Flowers, beads  and butterfly.

I could'nt take much picture of my work as I was all  alone doing this project. Hope  I could get assistant to help me with shooting video and taking pictures.

Well, back to what I was saying is I really don't have the name for my stuff, but you can use it as jewellery box, gift it in wedding with chocolates in it, Well I am going to use it as pencil/pen box on my work table.

Today is the day I am posting my stuffs after short break. I love sharing and learning new things so I keep of searching for it.

Here is the tutorial made from fabric.

You Need :

1. Fabric 1/2 mtr appox 12 flowers
2. For base I have used Foam, You can use card board or some hard base.
3. Glue gun / any Strong Adhersive
4. Hair Pin
5. Optional : I have used Die using Big Shot. You can use print out for cutting fabric. If  you are good in cutting directly any shape you can do that as well.

Die I mentioned on top

Give the shape to the fabric. The one that I am holding is taken from Alteration.


First fold half and again from the half folded fold it again.


Use glue gun in the first fold
 Use glue gun in 2nd fold. This will make the folding intact.

 Stick to the base using Glue Gun.
 Stick all of them. 12 nos of cuts. 8 to the base
 Another 4 on top of the 8 foldings
 Here is the one. This is how it looks
 Stick Hair pin as shown in the picture below
 Decorate the flower with pearls or plastic stones.

Dear Friends,

I once again welcome you to my blog with recycled art. I love recycled art as it has so much of creativity in it. These days pet bottles are very often used. Today I am going to show you i have used plastic bottles to main coin purse.

Material you need:

1. Soft drinks Plastic Bottles /Since I don't drink softdrinks I used amla juice bottle 2 nos cut the bottom as shown in the picture.
2. Scissor
3. Needle and thread
4. Zip
5. Ofcourse Glue to stick
5. Optional - Paint of your choice / laces / pearls


Start stitching the zip to the bottle taking all around. You may you the matching color thread. This thread is bit thick one and color was not tracable to me, so i had to use white.See how it looks after stitching. My thumb is still paining as i have to give pressure to stitch. :-)


 The above picture show how it looks like after stitching the zip. You maycolor them or leave it as it is. I think leaving as it is looks more beautiful. So better leave as it is.

I have used lace this is optional. I wanted some girlish type to decorated with satin lace.The final touch and the coin purse is ready to use.

Start keeping coins on your desk.
