Tealight candle decorations with quilled Roses

Not just me but many people loved the quilled roses and thus I made quilled tea light candle decors with quilled roses. Arranging them in different patterns was quite an intersting and exciting job and I really fell in love with them.

But I realized that these rose tealight candles cannot be made as stand alone pieces so I had struck them to a base.

The roses in the above picture is decorated with glitter glue after sticking it to the base. This type of square arrangement definitely shows some space in between and the base is clearly visible. (It will be good if the base is painted).

The arrangement of colours are made to contemplate each other. The number of roses used are many as a close arrangement of them was planned. The centre base is made of 5 mm strips so that the tealight candle is placed on a bit level higher and the flame is also clearly visible.

This is made of 2 diferent sizes of strips the bigger roses are of 10mm and the smaller ones are made using 5 mm strips. The smaller roses are two tone strips. The leaves are made using combing technique.The decor on top of the roses and the centre portion is made using 3D cone.

The CD is decorated with 3D outliner colours to match the roses that are placed. The roses are made of dual tone strips and mettalic strips. All are 5 mm strips. 

Tea light Candle decoration in Quilling

One of the loveliest gifting or return gift option for festivals like Navarathri or Deepavali is quilled Tea light candle decoration. I just tried a simple design initially and was so happy with the outcome. The beauty part of these tea light candle decorations are they can be made either stand alone or can be placed on a waste or unused CD or on a square surface.

The stand alone pieces can also be used as a simple hanging or table decors. These can also be used to decorate Aarathi plates.

Both the designs shown below are made using 7 mm strips. And a loose teardrop shaped design was made. The centre portion is a thick circle made with the same 7 mm strip which was circled around a tealight candle so that it could fit in exactly.

Quilled Beetle bug

When I made the fly one of my friend suggested I try beetle bug too so tried making one of my childhood favourites buggy bug. The red strips gave an enormous look to the bug and I placed google eyes for the bug. Later I converted it to a key chain. The black dots on top are made using black 3d outliner. 

Black beauty in silk thread

Certain things definitely go viral and one among them is any accessory in black. Normally in Indian families that too in South Indian Tamil families, black is not considered an auspicious colour, but it attracts many women, and they prefer to have dresses and accessories in black. When I first made a black bangle in silk thread, I never knew that it will go this viral and will sell a few lot of such black sets. The speciality of black colour accessory is that it could be worn with any colour.

I am sharing the first silk thread black set that I made. This is not a kada type bangle but two big bangles. I have used black goti thread to wrap the bangle and golden single ply thread to make the decoration wrap around it.

Size: 2.6

The person who wanted this kind of bangle is some one who loves to be simple in attire. But when she wore it this def gave a majestic look.

Acrylic Rangoli

During my last visit to Pune, got a few plain Acrylic Rangoli sheets and then we, yes we me and kids started decorating one of them. After decorating them, we were so amazed and amused by the different kinds of arrangements we could make with those sheets.

Paper Flower bouquet

Flower bouquets are used to welcome guests during functions. The bouquets made using natural flowers tend to dry and whither easily. Here is something new and different which my daughter made to give to my friend who is also a teacher when she visited our home. The bouquet came out pretty well, and I never knew that she can be so creative.
