Welcome Board

This is my first craft I ever made by myself. I just wanna make a welcome board that is cute and bright and also welcomes people. Before creating this, I browsed through many websites searching for wall hangings and got this cool idea from craftideas.com which I loved it.

I did one for myself and found it most pretty...;-)






Things Needed:

Heavy cardboard
Paper sheets
Acrylic paints
Button
Glue

Step 1:    I used a heavy cardboard and cut it down into shapes as desired.

Step 2: Cut down the butterfly, worm, flower shapes and the small board written "Welcome".

Step 3: I used the paper sheets for the greeny leaves(because it was very hard to cut it out in cardboard).

Step 4: Use your favourite colours that match your walls for painting them with acrylic colours.

Step 5: For the flower, you can use the button to be its center, so that it adds more 3D effect.

Step 6: Stick them all together with the glue and let it dry for sometime. Then your beautiful Welcome board is READY!!!!!







3-D Flowers - Paper Frame

Here is the 3-D Flowers- Paper frame that gave me so much inspiration in doing more and more crafts. I just started making Paper flowers and wanted to make use of it. So, I thought...Why not a 3-D frame???

Things  Needed:

Heavy Paper,
Metallic Paints,
Glittery Stones,
Ribbon for making Bow

I made the heart-shaped Pink and Violet colored flowers in the Chart paper and painted it with attractive shiny looking Metallic paints.




The yellow-pink flower was made out of a normal paper when I was extremely bored. But when I painted with dual colors, it looked much prettier.

I made the paper frame out of the Chart Paper and I crushed it as it was not good. Being lazy to create another one, I painted it with the Metallic Copper color paint and now woww...It looks like an ancient frame.

Got some yellow color chart paper remains, out of which I had cut the swirls near flowers. Just cut a line and roll it with a ruler. 

I had cut the leaf-shapes from the chart paper, painted with dark green and golden-light green Metallic paints and just sticked only the ends. 

Stick the stones on inside as well on the walls of the frame.

Make a bow from the ribbon and stick it to the frame...and tada!!!! My lovely 3-D frame is ready!!!!!

I will soon try to post the Flower tutorials as soon as possible too!!!!!!!! ;-)
