Quilling using Vellum Strips

Vellum Strips are self shiny, they need not be varnished to give the desired shine. Though they are too good for 3D or 2D work, I did try making Jhumkas, especially 3 layered ones and a teddy bear using them. They did turn out pretty well. And as I said earlier, there was no need to give the shine. These strips are available in itsybitsy craft store. Only disadvantage I found is they are half the length of the normal strips.



The stud in this jhumka can be detatched and can be worn just alone or along with the jhumka. This jhumka makes a big impression when worn with a party wear or for Bharathanatyam dress. 

Designer paakku mattai plates

Pakku mattai plates are quite easy to paint, decorate and use. Find how to paint paakku mattai plate. A few more plates we painted and decorated are shown here. It was quite easy to work on them, when it comes to sticking stones or beads too.




Bottle Art in a combination of Jute thread and Quilling

After I started quilling a bit lot, I became a part of a whatsapp group which conducted contests every week and I participated in one such contest. Though it was me who was the member, the theme and the designs were conceived and executed by my kids more than me. The theme is baby bear waiting for Masha or Goldilocks. The pictures themselves explain the theme.

Money pouch using Golden Lace

Its a habit to gift money during functions, either to the hero/heroine of the day if its a marriage or the Upanayanam Boy or for the Vadhyars to give them Dakshanai. But instead of giving that openly, it could be given in some dazzling and jazzy pouches made of Stone laces. These laces are either Golden in Colour or Silver in Colour. (Heard that there are other colour laces too available but need to check in the market). These make a real good option to give money and can be made in 3 different sizes. One can keep money folded, the other for keeping Rs. 500 INR straight without folding and the third to keep Rs. 1000 without folding.

Quilled graduate girl

When we got the news of graduation of our niece, I decided to do something to gift her, and here is a miniature girl in her graduate dress. I will not say, I have made full justice in making this girl perfect, but I am sure it looks like a girl in her graduation dress.


Beaded Ear danglers

After making the beaded neck set with head pins and beads I tried out my hands in making ear danglers using the same method. They turned out to be really cute and I gifted them to my cousins who loved wearing them. Ofcourse the black one in this collection is for some one who loves black just like the way I love it.

All these can be recreated on request. Mail us for knowing the price and customization options.
