Tea light holder / DIY Lamp

Hello Friends,

Here is one more Diwali special DIY project.

Supplies: Empty Juice or soda cans (washed and dried), a safety pin, pliers, scissors or cutter.

Procedure:

• Draw any pattern onto soda can using marker.
• Start punching using safety pin or some other sharp pin (Soda can is very light and can be easily punched using all pin /safety pin).

I had created a leaf pattern and a dragon pattern(on husband's suggestion J ) .

Once all punching is done, paint the cans (Two or Three coats will work well).

• Some holes will be blocked by paint, so once it dries off, punch in blocked holes again.
• Now using scissors or cutter, cut a rectangle behind the can so that you can put tea light into it.

• Press its corners with Pliers.
• Your homemade tea light holder/Lamp is ready.
• 
  

Hope you liked it.
Will be back with more.. :)

DIY Gift box / Organizer

Gift Box / Organizer

Hey Friends,

Festival season has started and we are ready to distribute gifts and decorate our homes, right?

So, here is an idea to reuse your old boxes and containers. These can be reused as gift box or organizers themselves.

Required: Gift wrap or Fabric, A pair of scissors, Glue stick or Craft glue.

Steps :

• Measure box dimensions (Here I’ve used an empty Surf Excel box for demonstration).
• Cut Paper.
• Apply glue to paper and paste it on box carefully.

TA DA!!

Use as an organizer to declutter your stuff or you may use same as a cute gift box.

Here, I’ve used a shoe box (rectangular one) as an organizer, chips can as an organizer (used fabric to wrap this one), and Surf excel box as a gift box.

Hope you liked it. Will be back soon with more ideas.

Stay Healthy - Banana Oatmeal Recipe

Banana Oatmeal Recipe

Hey friends, Here’s the recipe of Banana Oatmeal that I tried and it turned out really good.

Here's the complete recipe if you want to try:

You’ll need (for one serving):

·         1/3 cup Oats (I used Saffola oats)

·         1 glass Milk

·         A banana (cut into pieces)

·         Honey

·         Dried cranberries (You can use raisins or any other dried fruit instead)

·         5-6 Almonds (cut in to two halves)

At night (for people in hurry in the morning), boil one glass of milk in a pan. Add oats and stir (You can increase the quantity of oats if you want a thicker consistency).Add almonds. Allow it to cool at room temperature. Then store it in refrigerator.

In the morning, just add banana pieces, pour 1 or 2 teaspoons of honey (according to your taste), top it with cranberries and enjoy your healthy breakfast.

I have also tried different variants of it earlier using different fruits and I love every variant especially the one using mangoes. As mangoes are off-season so I used banana.

Bread Crumbs Recipe

Homemade Bread Crumbs

Time to Prepare : 10 Mins

Quantity : 6-8 bread slices  

Uses :  For cutlets,Kebabs etc.

When it comes to packaged food, I prefer preparing it myself at home.

Here is an easy recipe to prepare bread crumbs at home.

If you have a popup toaster, prepare bread toasts that are evenly baked all over.

Let them cool.

Make rough pieces of baked bread, grind it in food processor/Grinder and there you go.

OR

You can also bake breads in Oven -

Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 8 mins.

Place breads in baking tray and bake 5-6 mins or until they dry up.

Let them cool.

Break baked breads into pieces and grind them.

OR

You can use Griddle for baking breads.

Simmer down heat and place bread pieces onto griddle.

Turn the pieces over until they are evenly baked.

Once baked, let them cool and then Grind using grinder or food processor.

After cooling the crumbs, store it in airtight container , keep it  in refrigerator.
