Kids collections hangings

Kids have a unique choice and taste. Many a times, kids try to give me a design with an idea in their mind. Here are a few such designs that I made for my nieces and a few other kids. 

Quilled necklace with 3 mm strip

My previous try of the necklace was made using 5 mm strips. Saw this design in FB by one of the quillers who owns a page named ShuCreations. This is one of my dream design, though I have not made it the right way that I have seen in the original picture. But still the outcome when I used 3mm strips was awesome.

Designs for Christmas

One of Facebook aquaintance asked me to show her a few designs for Christmas. Though I was not one of the lucky ones to bag the bulk order which she had promised, still I am happy to make these designs. These were then converted as book marks. Struck to ice cream sticks and messages written on them. These can also be converted into mobile charms or fridge magnets too. 

A flowery magnet

You cannot stop trying out the different techniques of combing once you start learning it and here is a flower that I made using the same combing technique (Tutorial soon). The centre is made of tight brown coil of 5 mm strip and the petals of yellow 5 mm strips. It took almost 30 mins to complete all the petals. But making this was definitely fun. Converted this a fridge magnet. 

Angel to bring you good luck

Angels are considered to bring in good luck and blessings. And my quest to make more and more miniatures kept itching and so on search in the net, saw an image of angel. And now you have to make a wings for the angel, how to do it is the next question. The face, the body can be quilled and coned accordingly. But the wings and the ring on top posed a challenge to me and again another search in the net, showed me combing technique using a quilling comb and use of border buddy. But I dont have any of these two tools, so again started a search for alternatives. But all along I kept learning the techniques and practicing them too. The second trial got me a good result of a beautiful wing. (Tutorials for the same and the alternative tool usage will be posted soon). And for the ring, I used a pencil. And here is my beautiful angel. 

Gold necklace in Quilling

All that glitteers is not gold. Hope all will  agree with that and that proved with my trial into making different designs in quilling continues and one such is making a choker using quilling strips. How much ever I tried, I was not able to bring out the effect I wanted in circles or tear drops. So I decided to plait 3 golden strips to give the effect of thin golden chain chocker with a pendant. It really turned out to be good enough and when I wore it none can find out the difference ofcourse from a distance.

Catch a fly and hang it in your ears

Kids collections are something which is quite interesting to make. One such is the house fly design.

Two green tear drops attached at the pointed end and joined together with a black circle gives the look of a house fly. Colours of the wings can be customized. SCKC03. Rate - Rs. 25/=

Jhumka with self attached stud

This is another first try. Mini jhumka attached to stud using 3 mm multi colour strips. I cut the strips into 3 equal length and attached the colours in a combined sequence. It was not that easy as I thought it will be. Inspite of this I was so happy with the outcome. This could be worn matching with any dress. The light weight added more advantage.

I also faced a slight disadvantage. The stud base came off after reaching its destination. Have to tell the owner of it to stick it with quick fix. But I am sure she loved it.

The mango shaped stud and the self attached jhumka in multi colours can be worn with any dress with any colour.

Code SCJM01. Rate - Rs. 100/=

2D Quilled Ganeshas

When mom and dad returned to Pune, I wanted to give something to my brother. But at the same time, I also wanted it to be something different and unique. So searched the net as to what I could do either with clay or with quilling. And I got a wonderful idea to make Ganesha in quilling which will be a 2D image. For the first try it did come out really well. The Ganesha can be placed on top of TV or can be hung in the car or can be placed in the front or back of the car. Will post the tutorial for the same soon.

After this I made a few lot of such 2D Ganeshas and gifted to a few many people. These are ideal return gifts and we make it on order. Cost Rs. 50 for nomal colours, Rs. 60 for Neon colours and Rs. 70 for Gold and Silver combos. Price can be negotiated for bulk order.  To order these mail to arrass2501@gmail.com with order code SC2DG with your required colour combination.

Quilled Jhumka in a different style

Ok now after making gift sets in quilling, I wanted to make something for my mom too. Though I was quite apprehensive that she might not wear it, still I made one as a matching set for the new saree that I gifted her.

Who said that Jhumkas or Jhimkis are to be made only in round or dome shape? Here is a trial of square shaped Jhumka. The surprising element was both the jhumkas turned out to be perfectly square shaped. Decorated it with pearls too as my mom loves pearls.

How to make the square shape?
              Once the tight coil is made, press the corners of the circle and make it a square shape and then use the Jhumka Mould to create the dome. Care need to be taken to ensure the corners not disturbed while making the dome. Once done ensure that the corners remain intact and glue the inside. Let it dry and glue the outside too.

Haldi Kumkum plate

When we made designer trays, we also made Haldi Kumkum plates. The stainless steel plates were decorated with stones and the designer kumkum boxes which we placed were stuck to it using Fevibond. Nothing else helped us sticking it to the plates. It is definitely a time consuming job to decorate a stainless steel plate and you definitely need strong glue to stick stones or decorative pieces to the plate. 

Holiday Project - Painting a CD

Now a days just like Floppy Disks CDs also have become extinct. We have copied most of them into external hard disk. So now they remain unused. And a few of them have also have got damaged too. So we decided to paint in it using acrylic colours. And my daughter did the same. One of the sample.
