Hello people, good morning 😊 !!

Here is another blog post for vase makeover. I have made two different vases similar to previous blog post, which can be seen  here. The first one is almost similar. I have used a different wool. I absolutely love the colours of this wool ❤. 

The second kind also has wool wrapped around it. I have glued some Styrofoam balls on it just to give it a little contrast.

Vase makeover using wool 1

Hello lovely people !

Happy new month 😃. Here is a tutorial of making use of used bottles into something decorative.

 I have used glass bottles but one can use even plastic. So things you need are: wool, clear dry glue, clean dry bottle.

Start by making a knot at the bottom. and start wrapping the wool by pasting it with glue. 

As the surface of the bottle is very smooth, the wool tends to slide off at the areas with smaller circumference. So try to hold the wool till the glue is dry. This project needs constant pushing of the wool in direction opposite to wrapping. I have started wrapping from bottom to neck. You can also try the opposite way. It might be easier.

In the end, I made a knot and left little bit wool hanging.

And added some wooden beads to the left over string.

Just to cover up some area in the bottom, I glued some pearl like beads.

And here you go 😊

Macrame wall hanging

Hello readers !

I have been seeing Macrame tapestry everywhere in Pinterest these days. And looked very pretty. Just ropes becoming into such pretty patterns. And I was swept by the ongoing Macrame craze too. And today I finished making my first Macrame wall hanging. I started yesterday afternoon and finished by night *high-five  me* :) , the tassels took some time today. I used wool for making tassels. I got some regular jute rope from the hardware store. It works better if the rope is not nylon and a bit thick. I made the square knot in this attempt. There are tons of tutorials in YouTube. So here is the final craft. I hope you like it.

Wreath

Its wreath time again in Craftsville :D . I absolutely LOVE the colors of the wool that I used. It was love at first sight :P . I bought the wool at Woolworth for 2 euros. And here is the final look.

First, I wrapped the multicolored wool around the Styrofoam wreath form. 

And to decorate it, I used the rest of the wool and made spirals and pasted the ends with glue. I had some pearls which I sewed on those spirals.

 And this is how it finally looks.

Some more wreaths

I made 2 more wreaths with wool. This blue wreath with white beads is similar to the pink wreath that
you might find in my previous posts. The only difference is the different wool colour and beads pattern.

And here comes the other one (third one from wreath series). This is also made with wool, no surprises in that area. But it does not use any beads. You can see for yourself.

  I wrapped the wool around the Styrofoam wreath form. When finished, I braided the rest of the wool. To make it thicker, I used around 4 strands in each part of the braid making it 4 x 3 = 12 strands thicker. Then I wrapped and pasted one braid in the inner area of the wreath. For the outer area, I wrapped and pasted three bands of braid. Because, if you use just one, it might not be visible. Along with the braid, I used these cute little birdies which I bought from Xenos store for about 1.5 euros. And some crochet flowers for almost the same price.

I loved these birds. For those who want to use only one bird, try to buy a little bigger one. I used two to represent the bond of a couple...me and my other half :)

I used a pin to attach the birds on the wreath. One end of the pin goes inside the bird (kind of tough)

and other end goes into the wreath. And to make sure it does not fall off, I also applied some adhesive to the birds.

These are the crochet flowers that I pasted. I do not know how to do it, so I bought it. For those of you who know how to crochet, go ahead. Making your own flowers is always the best idea. You have wide range of colours to choose from and can make it with different floral patterns.

And............... tadah !!

clock redo

There was lot of wool left after I made the wool wreath from the previous post. I glued the wool all around the clock. The clock that I bought from Ikea looked originally like this :

I started to glue the wool from the inner circumference of the clock working  towards the edges. After the redo the clock looks like this :

wool wreath using beads

Beautiful colors of this wool made me buy even though I had no idea how to knit. Later on I got an idea of making a wool wreath. Just to add some details I sewed white wooden beads which I got from Idee craft store.
