an inspired Rangoli

Inspired by Bhupali's Up-cycled DIY Rangoli, and making good use of one free afternoon, the girlies and I tried our hands and up-cycling cardboard to make rangoli... and here is the outcome... 

There was absolutely no planning... so we figured we didn't have any sequences or pretty colours to use at home... *sigh*.. 

The girls randomly painted anything that came to their minds... and used glitter glue... to make some of it look pretty... 

Sims even tried a warli rangoli... but it didn't turn out the way she was expecting it to... so I haven't posted it here... *smiles*

and then they decided to decorate the floors with this... 

all in all... it did look pretty... 

so.. thank you Bhupali... for such an awesome inspiration... *smiles*

I simply love the festive season... such pretty colours... so many hues.... and shades... *sigh*

a few close ups... 

Tea-light experiments

So last weekend... when we (the girlies & I) were doing nothing... this was my attempt at teaching them decoupage... we made a few modpodged doily tea-light holders... 

They didn't turn out the way I was expecting them to... What do you think?

Rather.. I think.. we didn't do a neat job... LOL

Since those failed so miserably.... we dressed them up with cloth or net that was lying around the house... and here is how dressy they looked... 

Our guests were amazed at the outcome of the one below... The reflections on the wall looked stunning... or atleast I thought so... *smiles*

After I put this together.. I now have a few ideas on how to make tea-lights look pretty... Do you have some ideas too? Share them on Colours Dekor, email me on coloursdekor@gmail.com 

DIY Diwali diyas

You've seen Bhupali's DIY Rangolis... and today, she shares with us, DIY tea light holders... just in time for the festive season... 

over to Bhupali...

I had bought some oat cookies for my daughter and found this packing material inside it.

The moment I saw it I decided to reuse and recycle it as I have done it earlier with other waste boxes and packing material.

I have used moulding clay which I got from an Art shop in Singapore and white acrylic colour.

Now isn't that awesome?? Tell me what you think?
