An experiement on hand weaving

I'm so excited to share my first attempt on hand weaving..

I didn't have the weaving loom and as it was more of an experiment so I did it using a cardboard and wool.

This is how it turned out..

Amigurumi Projects

Crochet Turtle

The second project I made is a turtle.

I followed tutorials from crocheteverafter for Turtle Amigurumi and here is the result.

As you can notice, It is the same green colored yarn that I used for making Christmas tree. Yellow yarn was also some leftover in my yarn stock.

My Husband gifted me these googly eyes pack once, and I wanted to make good use of it. I love them onto this turtle. :)

More I am making these projects, More I am falling in love with crochet. Its fun to sit in couch and crocheting whole day when you can not go out in chilly winters.

Will be back with some more fun projects.

Amigurumi Projects

Crochet Elephant

Hello friends,

I am pretty excited to share my two amigurumi projects that I made last weekend.

My First amigurumi Project is the Little Bigfoot Elephant . I followed tutorials from Amigurumitogo
My project turned out fine ( not as perfect as the tutorial ) . But I am satisfied.

Materials needed : Crochet Hook , Yarn, Pair of Scissors, Felt ( for mouth ) , Eyes ( buttons of felt can also be used ).
I used styrofoam balls for the filling instead of yarn scrap or fiber.

Lovely, Isn't it ?  :)

Get Ready for my next amigurumi. :)

Christmas Special

 Christmas Tree-  Crochet

Hey Friends,

Here is one crochet project I made for this Christmas.

I was thinking of making one with yarn.Luckily , I found this Green colored yarn in my stock.Then I was all set to make one.

I tried to follow lot of tutorials available on internet, but I could not make one as I wanted it to be. So , I tried simple chain stitch to create leaves and It was lot easier than I thought.

Used a paper cone base for leaves to rest in place.And a white Lace to wrap onto the tree.

Added a colored pom pom onto its top.

For Decoration, I used anchor thread and crochet hook to make miniatures.

Well, as I am a beginner, and It was my first time , so don't mind the imperfections.

I used some colored beads to make it look more cute.

And there we go.

And Guess what !! I am getting addicted to crochet. I already made two more projects .

See my Amigurumi  Projects for more. :)

DIY B'day Card

DIY Greeting Cards

Hey Friends,

Here is one post I wanted to share about home made birthday cards and gifts.
If you remember, I already posted one for how to make gift boxes out of unused boxes.
Here is similar kind of box I made by gluing Hallmark gold print paper onto a cookie box and pasting some fabric flowers onto it.

and, here is the blue card inside box.

This card is a hanging card, folded into the box and placed with flowers (for decoration ). You May add chocolates or some other small gifts with the card, as per your liking.

Here is the card, unfolded -

For Another card,

I followed a video to make it (also added my imagination into it). It turned out really cute.

For any card , you need simple stuff like :

Colored Pens

Scissors

Zig Zag Scissors

Colored papers ( Plain or Printed )

A pinch of thoughts  ;)

Lot of videos are available on internet for card making. You may simply follow them and make some fun stuff.

( Hanging card was my own thought that I come up with.)

Here is another card.

Pictures are not that good. I was impatient and clicked all of them in night  :p

Hope, You got the idea of making lot of fun cards at home for your loved ones.

Bye for now. :)

Old wooden table makeover –To a Coffee Table

From this -

To this -

Hello Friends,

Here is a tutorial to revamp your useless furniture .Here I experimented using some leftover vinyl sheet as top of table.

Required:

• ·         Vinyl Sheet  or Wallpaper
• ·         Adhesive
• ·         Colored Drawing Pins
• ·         Paint

I cleaned the surface of table first and once it was dry, I measured the surface and cut the sheet accordingly. As it was a leftover piece of sheet, it did not provide full coverage to the table ,so I used 2 pieces for top.

Applied adhesive on full surface and placed the sheet carefully onto it. It needs to be pressed for atleast 45 minutes so that sheet does not come off and sticks to the table properly. Then I pinned the table using drawing pins.

For sides of table –I colored the base with off white paint and after it dried, I cut some square pieces of sheet and stick them onto table in a pattern as shown in image.

Here is the result (and yes, I did not spend a buck on it... used leftover paint and sheet. :) )
