MY NEW CREATION - ORCHID (Nylon Craft)

This is one of my new works. When I was making the flowers using the nylon material I thought why should try one orchid with this………

Next day I start my work and within half day one bunch of orchid flower is ready……..

Making of this orchid is very simple as the other one. For this we need:  nylon cloth (here I am using white and dark pink color), wire (golden / silver), glue, stamens, green flower tape, thread, tissue paper, scissor.

How to make:-

 ·  Take the wire and cut it into pieces of       3”length. (For one flower we need 6 petals ,one petal will be little larger than the others)

 ·  Loop the wire around any round things like small bottles. ( Here I have used the same gum bottle’s cap)

 ·  Remember that one petal is differing from others. For that we have to take one refill of the pen and wind the wire over it. Now we will get a spring. Then pull the both ends and we will get a zigzag wire. Loop the wire as mention above.

 ·  Divide the petals (3+2+1) or (5+1). 3 Petals will be wrapped with dark pink nylon, 2 petals and the zigzag one with white nylon. Or 5 petals with pink and zigzag with white nylon.

 ·  Shape the petals by pulling and pushing.

 ·  Next is the arrangement of petals. First we have to take the zigzag one, that is the innermost petal, and attach a stamen on it with the help of the thread. Then take the 2 white petals and attach it around the first one. Next is the outer layer of 3 pink petals, attach them around the white petals with thread.

 ·  Now your flower is ready, make 5 or more flowers like this.

 ·  We need buds for our orchid, so for that take some tissue paper strips and wrap around a piece of wire and cover it with nylon cloth. Now the buds are also ready.

 ·  Arrange the flowers and buds on a thick wire and wrap the flower tape around it.

 ·  Look the orchid is ready………

TISSUE PAPER - ROSE

Tissue paper is a very less expensive material for the craft. We can make different types of flowers using this. There are different colors of tissue papers available in the market. But I didn't get the colored one so I am using the white one.

There are so many methods to make the tissue flowers. Here I am showing a simple one that everyone can try this. 

                                                           

Materials required for this tissue rose are:Tissue Papers (different colors), Gum, Wire, Green Floral Tape, and Scissors. 

First of all we have to cut the tissue paper into several f lower shaped petals (fig 1). For that we need a cut out of flower on a thick paper. By placing this over the tissue we can cut the petals easily and all of them will be in the same size and shape.

Second step is to make the stem o the flower. For this we have to take a small piece of tissue and wrap around the tip of the wire with the help of gum. Leave it for some seconds to dry. After that make small holes at the center of each petal. Then insert the other end of the wire through the petals. First layer should be very close to the tissue that we wrapped earlier.  For that apply some glue on the petal and press it smoothly from its sides. Like this way take 5 or more petals and arrange it.

The last step is the wrapping of floral tape around the wire. You 

can also attach leaves over it.  Arrange these flowers in a vase....

IS IT SIMPLE ONE ….

PLEASE TRY IT…..

SIMPLE GIFT FROM A SISTER

After making a mobile pouch for my mummy the next is definitely one for my sister. She wants a pouch of some attractive colors. So I told her to select the colors. She went to the shop and brought some blue and violet colored woolen threads. By using that I made a double colored pouch and stitch a small crochet flower over the flap.

She likes that very much. I used some slip stitches, single crochet and shell stitches for this pouch. I think it looks better than the previous ones.

I made one more for my cousin sister. In that I used the same stitches in a different pattern. In this also I have attached one crochet flower with a bead at the center and one chain on the top left.

If you know crochet, you can try different stitches in different pattern and make beautiful pouches, bags etc with this.   

HAIR BAND

All of us are familiar with hair accessories like hair clips, hair 

bands etc. There are different varieties of hair bands and clips 

available in the market. Today am showing a different type of 

hair band.
  

Are you getting bored by wearing bands with same pattern?

Try this new one ………..

CATERPILLAR

Another easy craft work for you. 

Simple caterpillar ………………

This one is as simple as anyone can make it without any effort.

When I was making the dragon fly my sister also want to make something using the beads. Then she made this caterpillar.

Method of making this is same as the dragon fly.

 First we have to make the body of the caterpillar. For this we have to take the wire in half and thread the beads on it one black bead for head. Then curl the tips. For the legs cut small pieces of wire and curl the ends. 

Then tightly wrap the center of each wire around the body and shape the feet.

IS IT VERY SIMPLE………………

DRAGON FLY

Last month we went to my house for one of my relatives wedding.  After attending the marriage we went to nearby shop to buy some craft materials. Suddenly my eyes stuck on one big box. I saw different colors of beads in that box. Then I bought some of them and tried something new. One of my new works is THE DRAGON FLY………..

This one is a very simple one, everyone can try this………

For making this dragon fly we need some beads, golden wire and cutter.

First we have to make the body of the dragon fly by threading the black color beads (or any color) on the wire which is bending into half. We want different sizes of beads for this, larger one in the front and smaller ones in the back. After threading curl the tip of the wires.

Next are the wings. For this we have to thread 78 beads (48+30) on the wire. Shape the upper wings (24 beads each) and lower wings (15 beads each) by bending the wire.

Set the body on top of the wings and attach them by wrapping a wire around it. Carefully wrap the wire at the position between 2^nd and 3^rd bead.

SWEETY PARROT

Look at this sweety parrot….

I made this parrot in my 8^th standard.

From 8^th to 10^th I  studied at a convent school. There we had 

craft class on every Friday.  All of us were waiting for that class

 every Friday. Suma , our craft teacher is very soft and loving

person. She taught us how to make this beaded parrot.

Making of this parrot is very much simple. For this we need green

color beads,red color beads, black color beads, twine, cotton,

scissors.  

I think you people will like this.

Soon I will try to put how to make this parrot……………
