Recycled Flower Vase

Hi Friends, this time am coming with an interesting item.

A Recycled Flower Vase….

All of us are throwing the soft drink bottles after its use. Even am also. Few months back only I have thrown so much of bottles. Some days before I saw some interesting craft using these bottles. But at that time I didn't have any bottles with me. Then I searched in the kitchen and found one mineral water bottle. I decided to try with that. This is the result of that Experiment.

RECYLED CRAFT- DOOR MAT

Door mats are very useful and necessary thing in our day to day life. There are different types of door mats available in the market, made of coir, nylon, rubber, cloths, etc. The cost also will be high. 

There are a lot of materials that you can recycle into handmade mats for your house. For that just clean your wardrobes…… You will find your old cloths such as torn salwars, sarees, unused dupattas etc. By make use of these things you can make a unique doormat. It also looks better than the other one which we were buying from outside.

When I was doing my post graduation we were in hostel. At that time we had a lot of time after the class, so we learned some crafts from our room-mates. One of my friends told me she will teach how to make mat using old cloths. After finishing the course I tried it in my house. It was very easy to make and also looks good. Then I taught this to my mother and she also like this very much. Now she is very busy with this mat making and also shares some of her creativity with our relatives.

This is a very easy craft and I will share how to make a stylish mat for your house. For that first you have to cut the cloth into long strips with one or two inch width. Next you have to sew strips together end to end that will make the strip lengthy. You need 3 such long strips for the braiding (like our hair braiding) process.  Start braiding tightly and if your desired length is not reached attach new strips using needle and thread. As your work finish, shape the mat into round, oval, rectangular or square according to your preference. Then sew it together with strong thread and tight stitches. The stitches should be very strong, otherwise it will begin to unravel. You can also put a thick cloth as a base for the mat and sew over it. This will give more strength for the mat.

I prefer my mother’s old sarees for this because it is very long and enough for one perfect mat. The pallu side can use for the centre part or the outer border of the mat. Different colored duppattas also look good, for that you have to select the combination colors.

Please try this and make your house clean……….

RECYCLED CRAFT- BUTTERFLY

This is a very easy craft. I have learned this from one of my

cousine sister when I was a kid. Materials used for this are very

 common and inexpensive.

Materials required:

            Soap cover, glue, scissor, stapler, color pen.

   

How to make:

Take the soap cover and separate the inner and outer covers.

Then cut the outer covering and make two squares, one is     bigger and other smaller.

Fold the squares zigzag from one corner to the opposite corner.

Now you will get the wings of butterfly. With the help of  the stapler attach the two wings.

Now we will make the body of the butterfly by cutting the inner covering.

You can draw the face and body of the fly and fix 2 antennae on its head by cutting the paper.  

Now your butterfly’s wings and body is ready. Fix the body on the centre of the wings using glue and allow it to dry.

Look, your beautiful Butterfly is ready……
