Mirror hangings - DIY

I got beautiful curtains in teal with red applique work from Fab India. They have beautiful badla work on them as well and go great with the red wall in my room. I have been however a sucker for mirror work and badla because of the atmosphere they create with light. The Sunday project for the room is an easy one and looks great. The only problem is now I am not sure whether to hang these with the curtains of on the red wall.  : -)

Took some mirrors in various shapes

Mauli or red thread is what I found lying in the house - you can use gota or transparent plastic wires but I love the redness of the mauli and the Indian touch it gives (I am planning on a huge pop art poster of Bob Marley on the red wall so this would make an interesting contrast)

Now all you have to do it take some of this - measure according to the desired length and use some fabric glue (works wonders) on one mirror, paste it on one side and then take another mirror and glue it to the first one.

And the mirror hangings/curtains are ready :-)

It takes around 5 mins to make one (5ft), this is by far the most easiest DIY project ever !

Coasters again!

Flip flops again !

Flip flops I just finished making for someone.

Bottle cap coasters

Hand painted bottle cap coasters embellished with rhinestones. I am very fascinated with bottle cap art and these were just a perfect start to use the art in a kitchy way.

These coasters hold all types of glass steady.

They can be customized to shape and colour

Hand painted chai and coffee coasters

Hand painted coasters - These can be customized to shape, colour and text. More in this range are coming soon... !

hand crafted hair tic-tacs

my chinese frames

Finally, I managed to work with the Ikea frames i bought from Dubai. Chinese symbols always fascinate me.. and they work best with colored frames.

Pop art photo frames

I saw this idea while randomly looking for some interesting things to go with glass bottles. These are jam bottles used as photo frames. I am in love with pop art these days. The pictures are my attempt to pop art some photographs on photoshop. I got them printed and stuffed them inside the jars.

As simple as that and an innovative photo frame is ready!

Decoupage on glass

An Old Monk bottle i did decoupage on. .....

I love this huge sunflower! :)

Blingy gin bottle

I am in love with bling :)

Took me three days to painfully stick each mirror on to the bottle. The result is great. I want to get a black candle stand to keep along with it.....

Revamped flip flops!

I love Osho chappals, they are comfortable and come in every possible colour. I happened to have two in black and thats how the idea of revamping them came to me. They look super cool and funky and add colour to any outfit.

The flip flops look like this -

I used gota flowers to embellish them.

The flowers were stitched by hand to the chappals.

Glass bottles - painting

A good way to re-use beautiful glass bottles is by painting them. I have been embellishing glass bottles since a long time.

This shape was peculiar (Fuel Vodka). The design is inspired by Aarohi. I love the way she uses bold colours and motifs on her creations.

I added a little funk by sticking gold and black sequins randomly on the bottle.

Wall collage

I revamped a wall in my room last month and have been meaning to post pictures. The idea is simple and cost me around 750/- INR and three hours to finish the job.

I love films and this is something i wanted to do since a long time. A collage of films I love.
I downloaded posters (very easy - all on google, just need to check the resolution) and got them printed on nice glossy paper.
I actually wanted to paint the wall with acrylic, but ended up buying spray paint. Spray paint is expensive but super cool. It dries in minutes and is so easy to use.
I pasted the posters on bright glaze paper and used fevicol to put them up on the wall ( didn't know that could be done, fevicol actually fixes everything !!)
The corner now looks great with mood lighting and the revamped wall ....
My fav corner to click photographs now :)
