Decoupage Candles - Simple DIY

 Welcome to a fun DIY!

Decoupage is an art form I’m really getting into at the moment. I have posted decoupage DIY tutorials before, and I thoroughly enjoyed them! You can cover pretty much anything in sheets of gorgeous design – if you have the right glue and a bit of patience, of course. So I thought to myself, how difficult are DIY decoupage candles?

We’ve all seen them at the craft fairs. They look absolutely gorgeous, but also a bit expensive to buy. While I would love to have one of these in every room of my house, I just couldn’t afford to keep it up. So… yup, you guessed it, let’s make them ourselves!!!

I used the heat method to stick the napkin to the candle. I used an old Iron for this purpose. First cut out the tissue paper of the required size. Keep the napkin on the candle and slowly rub the iron on the napkin. you will observe that it will stick to the surface of the candle. cut the extra paper if there is any.

It can be a little bit tricky method but I am sure you gonna love the results!

Mosaic on Earthen Pot

Hello my Crafty friends,
I am back with sharing a Mosaic project I did last year but didn't get time to post it, so here I am with my first Mosaic project and believe me its addictive!
All you need is Mosaic tiles , Glue, Grout and Acrylic Colors to color the grout or rest of the pot. I used yellow for grout and Grey for the top border of the pot. Generally we cut manually the ceramic tiles, but Amazon has some pre-cut tiles so I tried my hands on it and here is the result ..

I observed that since it is an old earthen pot, the Amazon grout developed some cracks in it. I will try doing the technique on other surfaces and will share my observations ...
Thanks!

Makeover of Wooden Chowki - Decoupage

Hi Friends,
I am back with a decoupage project. This is my old Chowki which was wearing out from some places. So I thought of a makeover! Browsed my stash and got these coaster decoupage papers. I layered them on the surface and got this look!

 This was the old Chowki.

First through a sand paper scrub the whole surface. Paint 2 layers of Gesso primer. Scrub the surface again to smooth it out. Now layer the decoupage papers. Using Glue paste them. A coat of decoupage is required after it is dry. Now paint the rest of the body through white acrylic paint. Once dry give 2-3 coats of varnish and its done!!!
Here is a video

Hope you like the project! Thanks.

Hi Friends,
Hope you all are doing good and optimizing your Lockdown time. Today I am going to share with you a Lagan patrika I made few months back but didnt get the time to share with you all.
In our culture Isinabisi (family Introduction / Lagan patrika) is sent from Bride's family to the Groom's family. It has names of the Bride's parents, family members inviting the Groom and his family to the wedding.
This time i tried my hands on Clay Modelling Art. 

I made a bride using Shilpkar Clay, painted and decorated it. 

From the local market I purchased one wooden board. Painted it using Acrylic colors and did some stenciling. Using a handmade paper i made a scroll and wrote the message using gel pen.

Decorated the platter using a small metal diya. Put the paper scroll and you are done!

 Everyone in the family the project and appreciated the Clay Modelling work. I am so happy with the final result :)
