Simple and decorative Glass bottle painting

Arts and handicrafts are something many of us prefer doing in our spare time as it brings out our creativity and innovativeness. Last week blog was on flower making and flowers won’t be complete until it has decorative pot to hold it. Many empty glass bottles at home are unattractive and plain. If we decorate these plain glass bottles, they can make brilliant vases or ornamental jar s for display. It is very simple as glass bottles are readily available at home; this glass bottle painting just needs some basic things such as
• Empty glass bottle
• Glass outliner (black preferably)
• Glass colors ( 4-5 glass colors)
• Glue and gloss (for final coating)

Step 1:Take an empty glass container and soak them in water for some time. Allow it to soak, so it easy to remove the labels in the bottle. Dry it completely.
Step 2:With the help of black outliner, make box like structure in a random manner. It is not necessary to have a similar box like structures, so try free hand boxes with various sizes.
Step 3:Let it dry for few hours
Step 4:Try coating the glass colors in each box and ensure you give different colors for each box, so your bottle looks colorful and pretty
Step 5:Let it try for 24 hours
Step 6:Finally coat it with glue and glossy, for glossiness and permanent look.

This simple glass painting can make your living room lively with vibrant colors and welcoming flowers on it. Try it and you’ll surely get a hang of it.

Carnation paper flower making

Following the previous blog on Pot painting, I would like to give you few tips on tissue paper flower making. These are relatively simple and easy flower making technique. Flowers are nature's way of smiling in delicate artful beauty and decoration for your rooms. You can create your very own works of art from base materials following these simple guidelines. Materials needed are as follows:

·         Tissue papers (bright and lively colors)

·         Wire (12 or 14 gauge)

·         Scissors

·         Glue

·         Green tape

Step 1: To make the flower petals 8 total circle layers for your flower: 4 big circles and 4 smaller circles. The simplest way to do this is to fold a piece of tissue paper in half until you have 4 layers. Trace your lids on the top layer of the tissue paper and cut out the circles through for all the layers. After cutting the circles, arrange them neatly into an aligned pile with smaller circles on the top and larger circles below the smaller ones.

Step 2: Use any sharp tools to poke in the center of all the circles. Push the wire stem all the way through the center of the circles and make sure the bottom ends of the stem are even. Then twist the two wires together on the underside of the flower head to form one solid stem. Wrap this stem with the green tape to complete the stem look. 

Step 3: Start crumpling the first layer inward to create a carnation-like texture. Repeat this for each layer downward until layers are crumpled to give a "poofiness" and texture. The more the tissue paper is crumpled, the more defined the texture will be and this will give you the actual carnation flower look.
