Handmade paper garden ,Pretty cool and crazy right !!..I think so because I love beautiful sceneries , cool weather and  green landscapes  . I feel peaceful and really love nature . So now you can imagine how it might have been for me without those for few years . It was work and home ,work and home ,I missed the walks in park ,bright leaves everywhere . City life was good for work but for my heart I missed the things I loved . Later on I started making these cute plants and trees using some normal papers around me ,finally this hobby paid off .

One day in the evening I arranged few of them and it took my breath away . It looked beautiful ,I took lot of selfies and this happened couple of years back . In here I'm gonna share with you about this beautiful Handmade paper garden . I'm not professional crafter before so I just made these with the materials that were available to be back then .

 Usually when I make these flowers I just go with my imagination.  The secret to making something unique is by guessing what kind of flowers to make according to your plant or tree . Just like you would mix and match and wear with your  everyday attires.You don't have to be an expert in imitating the exact natural flowers that you see ,you just need to have a slight idea of what you want your project to look like in the end . 

So when I started making this paper garden I made each one individually and later I arranged them in an order I thought looked real to me.  I was surprised how it all turned out in the end ,it looked expertly gorgeous . I had always been passionate about art ,although I'm not much of an artist but I  appreciate art in whatever form it is in ,sculptures ,paintings ,charcoal drawing , handmade stuffs ,sewing ,cooking everything . I should have started this blog a long time back . 

But it's never too late to do something good right . So here I am with a beautiful post on paper garden that I made using all types of papers that were available to me . I didn't have enough green paper for leaves ,so what did I do I simply painted a large white paper with green acrylic paint and cut out leaves out of it .

I always thought the  environment and ambience  provides a lot of expression of myself  ,I'm still trying to make it better everyday . I used to be very shy and scared to show case any of my handmade crafts . Now I'm not afraid so much especially because of some optimistic people,God put in my life. Honestly all it took was few words of encouragement, later on
compliments ..in a nutshell  I loved every moment  while making these wonderful crafts . 
In reality I got interested in and fascinated by natural flowers and the way each one looked from one another  . For most part I got inspired from real flowers .

 Some times all you have to do is make tiny little leaves and stick them in a twig and add a few drops of color to make it in to a "wow, interesting fine plant"

Make these paper crafts for special occasions, it is going to be a fine piece of handmade craft that's going to fetch you a lot of attention .They did for me . If you got better materials or quality paper that is going to be super hit craft. You can even make these handmade crafts into a  business .
I always make complimentary leaves or flowers for every piece I make . It adds lot of color and richness to the latter .

Here is a bunch of crepe paper Rose that I made and displayed it on Bamboo holder ,I made some autumn brown leaves and placed it along ,looked awesome . 
crepe paper Roses and brown paper autumn leaves 

These were all made 3 years back and they all look pretty good even today . Since I made this particular piece with good quality of paper ,it haven't even dulled little bit till now .
Make a smaller piece like this and gift it to someone special, it will act as an object of affection .  These handmade flowers can be displayed on our wall and can remind us that if we can make something note-worthy we can make something better next time . That will keep our minds and hands busy. . Crafting makes our heart feel young too  I have heard my grandpa say that often .
We all work hard ,get tired and bored and sometimes even depressed ,I have felt it so many times ,but always bounced back by Grace and this vibrant piece of paper project had added a lot of style to my otherwise boring rooms ,brought a lot of warmth to my heart and have put so much smiles on my face.

So I encourage you to check it out for yourself by creating something beautiful with the materials that are available to you.  You will discover what a great thing it  is to keep your minds busy and make something special for your home  .

Let your imagination run free, that will make your projects stand out ,never imitate anyone we should be confident that everything  we make definitely is pure individuality. I did get some ideas off Internet now on best materials to use and such . That is okay . But nowadays I just use any papers from handmade papers, gift papers and wrappers  ,newspapers ,textured papers ,shiny papers ,pizza boxes ,cardboard pieces and even tissue papers no end to how we can turn some normal papers into some amazingly expensive looking crafts.
How can we make successful projects of crafts using normal raw materials ?



Pistachios shells stuck together on a box as vase and paper flowers and  foam onion bulbs  
With a hint of imagination of course and never shy away .. just be the original you.
simple idea: pistachios shells stuck on pizza boxes make a cute flower displayers 

I used these pistachios  shells to make these beautiful boxes for some flowers that I made . It looked very cutee. Just collect them and stick them with hot glue. Place your handmade flowers in them and display .

Hope you liked my post ,I would love to hear your comments below and very  soon I'll be making diy procedures and hopefully videos on this craft. Don't forget to follow and subscribe .

Peony buds flowers in a bottle vase

flower buds handmade handcrafts
Crepe paper buds 

Peonies are beautiful flowers used in various  decorations . A beautiful garden flower ,Peony inspired
 crafts are everywhere nowadays . Last time I saw some silk peonies ,were in a mall and it costed me a lot of bucks  just to get a bunch them , couldn't resist the urge to buy those anyways . It was really cute and I gifted it to one of my friends on her wedding wrapped in a nice golden net .( I did get her a  real present ) These flowers are used as wedding decorations, parties and many other events . Very long time back I thought these were Roses .. Last night I read about it and learned that there are more than a dozen of different peony types  ..each one much prettier and colors that vary from each other . It's an interesting flower for all crafters . 
They are such inspiration.  

Few months ago I made this piece ,I think it looks like peony buds . So I named it so .
There was an old empty almond glass bottle which I saved for my hobby and used it for these cute little flowers as a vase . Instead of bluntly setting up the transparent bottle on the table ,I wound it well with a yarn of maroon colored wool . It looked pretty good . Used the same color I used for flower petals  ,that way it looked spectacular in all the pictures and on the showcase .I'm sure you will agree with me on this .  

The flowers I made using crepe paper . Love to hear your comments . I got lot of  ideas now on making peony flowers ,I'll be updating more on this .
This is very simple to make yet looks very pretty .

Materials used

Bottle
Woolen yarn
Crepe paper
Fevicol
Stem wire
Scissors
Floral tape
Experiment the same buds with different colored paper you will love it . Encase the whole buds with the Base in a glass case and use it as gifts for loved ones .

TISSUE PAPER BABY BREATH FILLER FLOWERS

Handmade Tissue paper flowers




For any large flowers ,filler flowers are important to elevate the beauty . Inorder to make a simple flower look a lot better ,filler flowers play a good role . Not only does these flowers look adorable ,they easy fill a lot of space like their name suggests also provides a perfect background for the main flower. Since these are usually small ,they are really cute .

I made a bunch of them to use as a light background for my paper Roses ,They did a great job . On their own in a basket or pot they look perfect . I used a earthen pot to display them ,it looked awesome . Nowadays I just set them along with whatever flowers I make . These baby flowers are very easy to make . 

You will need materials that are easily available . 
I used tissue paper for flowers and crepe paper for leaves . It looked pretty ,I did some research on the exact leaves looked ,although I got the idea ,I simply went with the usual leaf shape . Doesn't really matter as long as our crafts are original and our own .

Anyone ever wonder how beautiful and unique each and every flowers are  that are found in nature ...well,I have and I have also observed that there is no way man -made flowers are going  to look as good . But God blessed us and told us that we are capable of great things ,so maybe we can perhaps make beautiful flowers ,but can we make it grow ? I don't think so ,But that didn't stop me from trying  desperately to make these flowers with materials that were available to me .
 Especially because I love nature and everything in it I  love  flowers and trees the most of all in God's creation ,Love and thank God  for putting such care in creating every little flowers,every single greens .

Now about this post ,  Most commonly seen products are made from coconut shells ,and the caps are made into potpourri .

I thought I'll make these Coconut caps  into something attractive for my table, for interior decoration . Although at first I thought and was reluctant about making these flowers ,I'm very pleased at the way it turned out in the end . loving the handmade Wild Roses . 

They are beautiful and proudly adds color to my table ,I added some simple crepe paper leaves to this and it was wonderful . I suggest everyone who has plenty of coconut farms to try out this craft. Experiment with different colors and go wild . You will fall in love with your work .
You can use this to decorate your home in so many ways . If you get bored with one color just make the next batch with different colors . 

Hope you enjoyed this idea for handmade flowers ,do leave comments below ,love to hear your thoughts.

Hello all , wonderful day here in my beautiful Kanyakumari . Coconut trees everywhere ,a cold weather and even green weeds looks amazing due to rain !Coconut trees and palm trees are the 2 most popular commercially grown trees in here . And being a hobby crafter myself , I love these trees .There are like hundreds of ways you can use these trees ,although palm tree branch is much lasting ,coconut leaves are not so bad .

 My Dad and myself we used to walk in to these coconut grooves in the evenings and later this turned into a hobby of collecting beautiful twigs that are curvy and dried coconut flowers that are really cute when they are made into a beautiful art piece.The coconut spathe too is very strong and after it has been cleaned well and varnished ,it makes an elegant decorative item . It was fun and worth all the hardwork and effort we put in .

 Ideas kept flowing after I started with the first piece of "coconut spathe and fluorescence "craft. In this blog I'll give you some ideas about how you can make day today materials around you and turn it into  a decorative piece . With minimum cost you can make some effective expensive looking handmade crafts . With handmade stuffs you will always have a story to tell .πŸ˜€  In a Nutshell its a satisfying experience . 

I kind of separately collected the coconut spathe and fluorescence ,then separated the mature flowers that this fluorescence hold with a knife ,then later on used these mature flowers for making photo frames . Along with the stem that holds the female flower ,I dried the whole thing and put them in a wooden handmade vase and it looked spectacular .

Beautiful handmade paper tree Pink blossom

Hello everyone ,


Today is a wonderful day and I'm going to share with you all some of the paper  trees and plant crafts I made over the past few years and later on I'll add diy procedures for each of the flowers , Its going to be so much fun .At the time when I made all these I had no idea that i was going to put them in a blog so forgive the photography .
Everyone prefers a good ambiance at home and pine for a good looking interior decor at some time ,so instead of wasting so much money on such times ,why not utilize the available materials in nature and handcraft the flowers of your choice more efficiently and more creatively . Not only does it offers lot of piece of mind ,it brings the family together and closer . It sure does bring a lot of compliments . It is a great way to include kids in these projects as well. what better way is there to bond with them than spending time with them..Anyways some of these crafts does require patience .But its worth it . 


HANDMADE PAPER TREE (PINK BLOSSOM)


Wont it be nicer to have a nice little decorated Room to make our own pictures look cooler ? With a little bit of effort and time . We can make a wonderful background for our own selfie at home or at office or some place you own .Its always nice to have a small bouquet of flowers on table in a vase or a vibrant color climber on the wall  decorating our dull walls . It adds a lot of class and beauty to our homes . With that purpose in  my mind I started making these flowers using paper and other recycled materials . It was absolutely stunning to glance upon and decorated my humble abode very well . I even made gifts for friends using some creativity and they loved it . I love a present with a good story behind it . 

I have used around 10 newspaper sheets for this tree . Rolled them up and used cello tapes to keep them in place . Use old newspapers and add 2 or 3 different colors of handmade paper for leaves so it has more natural look , and use acrylic colors to color the base which I shaped used normal cooking flour ,for better look use gum-paste or any carved wooden base .
