For a thick paper plate, we can open each petals into two layers. the upper layer is a normal paper which bends to give a "bud" shape.

Then glue the plates one over another, and paint with your favorite color.

Flower part is over. Now, for the decoration part, paint the cardboard with a suitable background color.

Then, cut the milk jug into many small leaves and glue the leaves over the whole sides of the cardboard. Paint the leaves with simple green or with the colors of a peacock feather (as like in fig). If want, decorate with color stones and glitter (optional).

Finally, glue the flower at the center of the cardboard.

That's all... A beautiful floral wall craft is ready to hang. We can use push pins or double tape to hang the craft on wall.

DIY: Balloon bowl with gram dhal!

This is a very easy craft to make and all we need for this craft is only three things. Instead of using gram dhal, we can use any dhals or seeds available.

MATERIALS USED

Gram dhal
Balloon
Glue

METHOD

Inflate the balloon to an approximate size, and clip it with any weight object.

Apply glue to the top half of the balloon with hand or sponge, then sprinkle gram dhal all over it. If you want to sprinkle the seeds properly, hold the balloon in hand and do it so.

Let the balloon to dry for 2-3 hours and add another coat of glue and dhal, until you achieve a thick seed-coat. Finally let it dry for 12 hours until the glue get dried completely.

Then, keep the balloon in hand, and pop it with a needle. Remove the balloon pieces and cut the irregular extra edges of the bowl.

Now, a beautiful gram dhal bowl is ready, and we can use this to organize fruits or anything as you like!
Hope this craft will be useful for you. Try this craft at your home and comment your feedbacks!

Paper plate tree craft!

I just thought to make a different craft, so I decided to make a paper tree. With a blind idea, I started making this craft. After completing this, I saw it look really beautiful...!

MATERIALS USED

Big paper plates - 5

Small ice-cream plate - 1

Tissue paper holder

Paints

Glue, glue-gun

Glitter

 

 

DESCRIPTION

First, cut the paper plates in flower shape, as show in figure, with 5 different sizes from larger to smaller. Keep the unwanted pieces cut from the plates separately.

Cut the tissue holder with appropriate length to make the stem part. Fold the lengthy-leaves of the plates towards the inner side. For making the lower part of the tree, fix the tissue holder at the center of the larger-leafed plate (as like in figure) with hot glue gun. Fix the other end of the tissue holder on to the center of the ice-cream plate.

Repeat the same for fixing all the plates, one by one from lower to higher (larger to smaller) with tissue holder in between.

For making the top part of the tree, cut the unwanted pieces into long-thin leaves, and stick them around a tissue holder (app 10 cm length) from bottom to top, covering all the sides. Fix this leaf-covered tissue holder at the center of the topmost smaller plate using glue gun.

Now, tree-making is over. Paint the tree with the suitable colors of your choice and if want, apply glue over the leaves and sprinkle glitters and confetti.

That's all... Our tree craft is done. This is very easy to make, cut the plates, fix with tissue holder one by one, and finally paint the leaves.
