Sari Kuchu

Hi friends …..

Today am with some new craft…..

“SARI KUCHU”

This is a very beautiful design which is making on the pallu of saris. This gives the sari more elegant and rich look.

I have learned this from my new neighbor. Her works are very beautiful. By seeing her works I asked to teach me. She is really a nice person, without thinking anything she said okay.  I really thank her for teaching me this technique.  

I have done two different type of design on my saris.

One is simple and the other with some beads.

Sorry for the clarity.

I have taken these pictures with my phone so the real color and the beauty of the kuchu are not that much clear.

Hope you will enjoy this …..

Keep in Touch ….

Have a Nice day….. 

Puffy Pouch

Hi friends …..

How are you all???

Here is one Mobile Pouch…….

This one is specially made for my sister’s new phone, Micromax Canvas.

I used single crochet and puff stitch for this pouch. And the thread used is Anchor 20.

The size of the pouch is 6*3 inch. I have attached a button covered with thread for the closing of the pouch.

When she took this in her office her friends ordered for two pouches.

I think you people love this pouch…….

Keep in touch ….

Have a Nice Day…….

Artificial flower- ROSE

Hi my dear friends…..

This is the last post of this month – A Nylon Stocking Flower……

In my previous post I have shared some other nylon stocking flowers like Simple flower, Orchid, and Anthurium.

Stocking flower making is very easy and the output is so beautiful. I saw this flower making in YouTube and tried it.

I am going to make some more flowers and arrange it as a big bouquet.

For that, first I have to buy a flower vase.

Hope you like this…..

Keep in touch….

Have a nice day….. 

Lovely Pink.....

 Hi friends, Here are some more table cloths…….

I like the combination of Pink and White. So I made two square crocheted table cloths with different designs for my side table.

How is it………..

This one is made simply by using the granny square method with a slight change. Instead of square I made a pentagon and also given some tassels on each edge.

I think you people like these patterns.

Wait for another interesting one……..

Keep in touch …..

Have a nice day……….

Most of the people eat pistachio and throw the outer shells. Here am using these outer shells for making a beautiful flower.

I searched in the internet for a good art using these shells and finally I got some interesting craft and this is the cutest one.

I made 2 flowers one small and one big, around 80 shells I have used for this.

I hope you people will like these flowers ……..

CHRISTMAS GIFT

Hai dear friends

Christmas is very near…………..

So each and everyone will be in search of some interesting gifts for their dear ones.

Here is one lovely gift….

In the previous post I had shared one flower coaster which was on my hook …. These are the completed one.

I had made these coasters and doily for our house owner aunty as a Christmas gift. I had also made one doily for myself in pink color.

Keep in touch.......

Have a nice Day.....

Crochet Coaster

Hi Friends,

After lots of trials with yarns and stitches using crochet I finally 

came up with a new item- COASTERS!!!!!

It turned out pretty well and I made 3 more.

After making this first one I am thinking to gift the next one for someone.

These coasters would be perfect for glasses; small bowls, coffee mugs etc. These are much better than a plastic one because it is cotton and absorbs the water easier. It is washable too.

 The next one is on the hook……

  Have a Nice Day…..

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.

                              

Keep in Touch….. Have a Nice day……

                               

Tissue Paper Flower

Hi everyone, after a short break am back. Actually I was busy with something.

In my previous post, I shared tissue paper flower using one method. This time I tried some different method.

Paper flowers are easy to make and give an extra look to the interior. You have so many options with these flowers, make it small to decorate gifts or make a bouquet for a side table or a center piece.This bouquet will last long and no watering required. 

Have fun with it.

Keep in touch…….. Have a nice time….

MINI SHOULDER BAG- Crochet work

This time I have made a Mini Shoulder Bag. When I say Mini, it is really Mini

It looks like a clutch purse and the size also that much. It is good enough to fit a mobile and some small things (may be lipstick or lip gloss or lip balm etc). It makes a beautiful little girl’s purse or a small shoulder / cross body bag to hold small items.  

 Keep in touch .......... 

MORE AND MORE HAIRBANDS – Crochet

After seeing my HAIR BAND which was posted earlier, my sister said “it is very beautiful, I want some bands”. So I decided to make some bands for her. But I had only some limited colors of thread. Please excuse………

This time I have done some experiments on the band, attached a crochet flower over it. It comes very nice.

             

I think you people also like these bands.

Keep in touch……

CROCHET-TABLECLOTH

I am very much interested in crocheting, so always searching something new in that. I have shared some of my small doilies with you. Now here are some bigger ones. You can use these doilies as tablecloths or something like that.

This one is one of my old works. My aunt’s friend gave this design to me.  By looking that I made this.

This design is my own. I have simply crocheted something and this was the final product.

These two are found in the net.

Actually I wanted to explain the steps but don’t know how …….

I think you like my works.

Keep in touch with my blog......

ANTHURIUM - Nylon craft

After a small break I have made something new......

It's a beautiful Anthurium Flower.

I like this flower a lot so we have planted so many plants in our house. I think we are having 4 different colors.

After making the Orchids using nylon I was thinking about an Anthurium. Making of this flower is very easy compare to others.

Actually I wanted to make white and red flowers , but at this time I don't have it , so tried with yellow.

Materials needed:-

Nylon cloth     Tissue paper/cotton      Thread      Wire      Glue    Cutter and Scissors   Flower tape

Making:-

1. Take a piece of tissue paper/cotton an wrap it around the stem.   then apply glue over it. Wrap the nylon cloth over that and tie it with thread.

2. Take another wire and cut according to the size of your flower. Make a loop and wrap the cloth over it. Tie it with thread and shape it.

3. Take both the pieces and tie them together. Fold the sides and shape it.

4. Wrap the flower tape around the wire.

Now your Anthurium is ready.........

CROCHET INTRODUCTION

Crochet is a process of creating fabric from yarn, woolen thread, or other material strands using a crochet. Basic materials required for crochet are a hook and some woolen threads. It is an interesting craft. There are different basic crochet stitches to learn. Learning is a little difficult but once you got the knowledge and skill you will create wonderful things out of this.

I don’t know how to teach each and every stitches and steps so better you can search it in the internet. There are lots of “free crochet patterns for beginners” are available.

Some most common stitches which we uses in the patterns are chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, half single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, triple crochet etc. By using these we can make shell stitch, puff stitch, V stitch etc.

Using crochet we can make a number of things like table mats, doilies, bags, pouches, dolls, coasters, hair bands etc.

Once you have learned the basic stitches, you will start your first pattern. The crochet patterns are written using many abbreviations and terms, which reduce the space and make patterns easier to read.

Basic stitch	Abbreviation
Chain	Ch
Slip stitch	Sl st
Single crochet	Sc
Half double crochet	Hdc
Double crochet	Dc
Triple crochet	Tr or trc
Repeat	Rep

I will share some of my work with you...........
