DIY Giant Paper Sunflower

DIY Paper Sunflower

In search of a pretty huge decor to fill in my empty walls, i came across this craft which was perfectly beautiful to fill in those empty spaces.  Loved the vibrant color and the beauty of this simple craft that changed the entire appearance of the room.

Does it look complicated?? Na... Its such a simple thing you can do within 30 min. If not the yellow black sunflower you can even change colors to match your walls.

Common let's make one 

1. Cut out a round cardboard piece of your desired size.

2. Cut out square shaped yellow color 4*4 size chart paper pieces about 36 of them. And black color square chart paper pieces about 6/8 of them which should be of a smaller size than the yellow.

3. Roll the yellow square to a cone shape and staple it to keep it in place. It would be better if rolled and staple everything at once to save time. Now it's time to stick the yellow cones on the cardboard keeping a gap between each one of them. Stick it starting from the ends on the cardboard.

4.When the first row is over the second row of rolls should be stuck between the gaps which should be kept a bit lower than the first row. Continue till you reach almost the middle which should b now filled with the black rolls of chart paper. That's it. Woohoo... :)

Enjoy crafting... :)

How to do acrylic flower painting

Starting with flowers is definitely an interesting way to create your skill. This is a painting for a beginner to medium experienced painters. Each layer is fairly thin(a glaze) because the paint colour is mixed with a small bit of water to make it flow more evenly. If you would rather use flow medium, that is acceptable also. Each layer of glaze must dry before the next layer goes on. Have patience! It is worth the time to get this technique right. Stick to the painting tips during these steps and you will be in a position to paint flowers with acrylic paint.

1. Select how many flowers you will paint and how they will be organized. It doesn't need to be exact- just indicate general dimensions and placement.
2. Prepare the actual canvas. Arrange the paints and brushes exactly where they are handy for the reach. Set your canvas on an easel or even work desk to start your work.
3. Block in the background using the shades of your need. Let it dry; it won't take long.
4. Draw the rough outline of the picture with pencil or chalk onto the background of the canvas. Use light outlines. Using a chalk, you can draw and erase loads of times and as long as you don't over-wet the surface, it will not hurt the painting underneath.
5. Using a fine brush, paint the petals with Titanium White. Then paint a layer of the colour you need onto these white areas.
6. Each petal has a highlight and shadow areas. In shadows, just blend in a layer of Payne's Grey. Then layer thin colour of the petal on it keeping it smooth.Keep the brush strokes going in the directions that the lines of the petals flowing naturally. The areas which will be highlighted will have to be underpainted with Titanium White again.
7. Repeat actions for additional flowers. For those who have overlap to another layer associated with flowers, make sure to dry the first layer before adding to this.
8. Add leaves as well as stems. Using a green paint, add in lines associated with varying thickness with regard to stems. Use a broader brush for making the leaves.
9. Complete the painting. Let it dry. Apply varnish onto the painting and finish off the piece of art.

To upcycle used glass bottles

• Clean the glass bottle well to remove grease and dirt.
• Use Fevicryl ceramic colours to apply color. Dabbing with a piece of sponge will add a special effect.
• Apply two coats of the same.
• We can use two colours together to enhance the effect.
• Allow to dry for about 2 hours.
• Use fevicryl 3D outliners to draw motifs.
• Stick kundan stones or sequences on the bottle.
• Use the same coloured thread for wrapping the bottle neck.
• Finally give two coats of clear varnish to give shining effect and to protect form dust.
