THREAD BOX

Hi this is my new craft work, box for keeping threads. 

If we arrange these threads in the following way we can find out the required  thread without opening that box. All things used here are waste things only.

1. Sweet box

2. Pins

3. Thermocole sheet

4. Glass sheet

PROCEDURE:

clean the sweet box. Since we have to use this box for storing threads, wipe out oil from this box.

2.Cut thermocole sheet into a required size piece and stick it in the box as in the picture and Next fix all those pins in a required interval for keeping threads in between them. Then leave some space around the upper portion and cut its inner portion using a sharp knife and remove it.

3.Next stick a glass sheet over the portion which we already removed. We should stick it in the wrong side of the upper portion.

4.Now it looks like this…………

5.Then arrange our threads as our wish. 

Our thread box is ready to use.

I use these boxes for keeping red family and green family threads separately.

BABY FROCK

Hi I stitched this dress last week itself.This dress is for my younger daughter.Here i did both embroidery and printing.This dress is made from the left over fabric after stitching one skirt and top.

The following picture is the yoke portion of the frock.Embroidery work embellishes its appearance.

This is its umbrella type skirt portion.Here i tried embossed printing.But it didn't come out well.I will try better in next time.

Macrame plant hanger

Hi friends  i posted here is a beautiful macrame plant hanger.

I love macrame work very much.So i tried lot of macrame projects.Among these this is somewhat different.Yes.......................here i used one knot  different  from other knots in my earlier projects.I don't know the exact name of that knot.But i know it is a variation of the square knot.It gives butterfly effect.It adds more beauty for this hanger.

TILE ART

Apply fabric paint on the whole tile.

 This mixture is pasted by using white gum.  

 Then place mirror in the centre of that ball and press it by thumb finger.

 Do the same for ur whole chosed pattern 

 Glitter is used to embellish that work.

3D SWAN

This adorable swan is ready to swim .I like this very much.It is one of my favourite things in which i made.

I have made it using 3D triangles .Its procedure is posted in my previous post. Nearly 500 triangles are required to finish this swan.First we should know how to make these following things 

1.       body

2.       wings-2

3.       Tail

4.       Head

5.       Base for swan to stand.

MATERIALS:

Chat paper

Scissors

Required Triangles:

Body: 

 Stage 1-30 triangles

Stage 2-30 triangles

Stage 3-30 triangles

Stage 4-30 triangles

Stage 5-30 triangles

Stage 6-30 triangles

Wings:

Wing 1

        Stage 1-12 triangles

        Stage 2-11 triangles

        Stage 3-10 triangles

        Stage 4-9 triangles

        Stage 5-8 triangles

        Stage 6-7 triangles

        Stage 7-6 triangles

        Stage 8-5 triangles

        Stage9-4 triangles

        Stage10-3 triangles

        Stage11-2 triangles

        Stage12-1 triangle

wing 2

as the Same for wing1

Tail

        Stage 1-3 triangles

        Stage2-4 triangles

        Stage3-3 triangles

        Stage4-2 triangles

        Stage5- 1triangle

Neck and Head:

30 triangles

STAND:

       BASE 1-40 triangles

       BASE 2 – 55 triangles

PROCEDURE:

Body: 

Stage 1 and Stage 2:

A triangle has 2 parts.One is leg or tail and the other one is pocket.It has 2 tails and two  pockets.first we take 2 triangles.then take one more triangle and insert its pockets  into the two legs of these 2 triangles.Here we must insert into the  closesest legs in both of them.See next fig........now u can clear........

do the same for all  60 triangles.Now we can see two layer here.

Stage 3
similarly add 30 triangles here.now turn it upside down.....

Stage 4
next add 30 triangles here .

Stage 5
similarly add 30 triangles here

Stage 6
do the same procedure here also.

Now body part is over....................next wings................

Stage 1

here we add 12 triangles in the same manner.

Stage 2

add 11 triangles

Stage 3

 add 10 triangles

Stage 4

add 9 triangles

Stage 5

add 8 triangles

Stage 6

add 7 triangles

Stage 7

add 6 triangles

Stage 8

add 5 triangles

Stage9

add 4 triangles

Stage10

add 3 triangles

Stage11

add 2 triangles

Stage12

add 1 triangle

then its wing part will be.....................

do the same in its opposite side also.then we get two wings of our swan.....

 now wing part is over.next tail...........

TAIL:

Stage 1

add 3 triangles between the two wings.

Stage2

then add 4 triangles

Stage3

next add 3 triangles

Stage4

add 2 triangles

Stage5

next add 1 triangle

then its tail part will be.....................

 Now tail is over.Next neck...........
Neck and Head:

take 30 triangles and insert them one by one as in the fig......this gives a neck part.

remove 2 triangles in the  opposite side of  thetail.then attach this neck.now it will be................

STAND:

BASE 1-40 triangles

BASE 2 – 55 triangles

then place both of them like this............

now place our swan on the stand.......

something missing here is the eye part.using red and black marker i draw eye in a white chart and stick it.
now the swan is ready.................to swim

3D TRIANGLE:

This paper craft is an origami craft which means craft done by folding paper in Japanese language. Here a simple paper turn into beautiful shapes,flowers,birds ,animals etc……….. In my college days I learnt this craft .Now only I have got a chance to recall it for my lovely kids. It is very interesting to do. Children love this craft.

MATERIALS:

Chat paper

Scissors

PROCEDURE:

Take a 3”x1’’size rectangle paper.

Then fold it in half ( lengthwise ).see fig.

We can see the crease in center clearly.Then hold it in our hands as in the picture

Fold it as in the pictures.

Now turn it.

Do the following steps one by one

Now we get a triangle in 3D effect.

 It will be used for my next project.
