Candlelight decoration with empty milk jug or any plastic can!

Materials used:

Pot candle,
Normal small round candle
Empty milk jug
Cure pipes or any decorative wire
Unused nail polishes
Confetti or glitters
Glue/glue gun

Description:

Color the pot candle with nail polish (2-3 coatings) and let it dry completely. It will avoid the oil absorption, if we use to light it with using cotton thread (Indian style). Also it will give a nice look to the pot candle.
Click here to see my video tutorial.
Draw flower petal shapes on milk jug and cut the petals separately.
Then, take a small cardboard box, and cut one side of the box with small round shape, for making the basement of the decorative candle. Color the cardboard with white paint, and over it, glue the milk jug petals in round flower shape.
Bend and fold the cure pipes/pipe cleaner or decorating wire, and glue it over the boarder of each petals shown in picture.
Paint the petals with a floral color nail polish (like red, pink, etc).
If need, decorate the petals with confetti and glitters. Bend the petals slightly downward, so that the tip of each petals will touch the base.
Glue and place the pot candle at the center of the decorated milk jug flower, and keep the normal candle inside the pot candle (We can also use cotton thread and oil to light the pot candle.).
We can use this decorative candle in pooja rooms and it will give more beauty to the candle lighting.
This is a simple way to decorate our pooja rooms. Try this at your home and give your valuable feedback in the comment column given below.

Coconut shell tower with egg carton flowers!

Materials used:

Coconut shell
Egg cartons
Glue Gun
Paints
Scissors
Tissue paper holder
Small paper cup
Glitters, beads (for decoration)



Description:

Cut the egg cartons into flower shapes (sorry, i din't take step by step photos, if needed, please see my craft video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvQhcJgigRw ).

Fix each flowers on to the outer sides of the coconut shell (remove the hairs over the shell, or else, the flowers cannot be glued properly) as in circular rows.

It is our choice to paint the flowers before gluing to the shell, or after gluing over the coconut shell. I have first glued the flowers and then painted the flowers with different colors.

To decorate the top of the shell like a tower, I used the plastic milk jug to make it out. Cut the milk jug as like a big flower shape, then bend and bring each of the petals to the flower center, then apply glue and press tightly to get fixed properly. Now we got a flower cup like structure, and over it, apply glue and fix an egg carton flower. Now it looks like a flower tower.

Paint the tissue holder and fix its one end with the center of the coconut shell and another end to the center of the paper cup.

Paint the paper cup with suitable colors and decorate with glitters.

Finally, decorate the egg carton flowers and the paper cup with color stones, beads and glitters.
This is a very beautiful and creative craft to make with simple recycle materials.

WELCOME board craft with tea extract, salt, rangoli powder and waste plastic can!

I have made this craft with tea extract which is not good for making tea. I first thought to use it as a compost for pot plants. But after that I got an idea to make a craft with that.
Click here to visit my tutorial video or this craft!

Materials used:

Cardboard
Plastic can like milk jug
Tea extract
Rangoli powder
Salt
Glitter
Scissor
Glue, Glue gun
Confetti
Pipe cleaner or cure pipes

Description:

First paint the cardboard with a background color (white).
Draw circles on the milk jug with two sizes 2.5inches and 1.5 inches. Cut the milk jug through the circles and keep separately.
Draw flower shapes on the circles and cut the flower petals.
Glue the smaller flower over the larger one and fix a confetti at its center. Do flowers as such as many as needed.
After the paint get dried completely, draw two rectangular outlines on the cardboard with 1 inch difference.
Now, it looks like, the cardboard has three sections. one is the outer border, the second one is the space between two lines and last one is the centre. Add glue and fix the pipe cleaner over the lines.
Apply glue over the whole part of the center portion and sprinkle the tea extract densely. Before the glue get dried, use the finger and write the word "WELCOME" with your own style.
Now the tea extract over the letters gets removed and the letters will appear bright. Apply glue on the letters and sprinkle the salt + glitter mixture.
For decorating the middle portion, apply glue for the whole part, and sprinkle the rangoli powder + glitter mix densely without any gap.
For the outer border, fix the plastic flowers one by one as a line using hot glue gun.
Finally, decorate with confetti, wherever needed.
That's all... the welcome craft is ready to hang, and, hang the board on the wall over the front door with using push pins or double tape.
