DIY Baby Shower Decoration

Baby Shower as in 'Sreemantham'(in telugu) is done in odd numbered month of pregnancy. So when i was in my 5th month , my in-laws have done this Sreemantham. Even though quite tired and exhausted(with a tummy) i made all the decorations myself , and hubby dearest helped in the execution. I have searched a lot of shops for a baby shower decoration items with no success... so made a baby shower board myself with paper-mache.
 So here it is...,let me know your thoughts.

Made these big flowers with Newspapers!!!

Yummy sweets and Namkeen....

Wrapped a bedsheet to a dining chair....
and the next set of pics are that after my baby angel was born. We named her Sahasra and for her naming ceremony i made her name board again with cardpaper and newspapers.

 The cradle was all net so wrapped it with some green dupatta and made some frills for show. Later also stapled some glittery red ribbon onto the cradle and the green dupatta, though i didn't capture the pic as was busy with my baby.
And here's my little angel...in her cradle...

Thank You for stopping by... lemme know your views in the comments section below.

VaraLakshmi Puja

This (and many more) post was long overdue... Being a first time mom its difficult to find time for crafts, even if i make out some its even more challenging to blog it.
For the first time i have made VaraLakshmi amma with kitchen boxes and sticks. Took about an hour. Do let me know how it is...

 Decorated simple wooden stand with Blue gift wrap paper.

Decorated with a simple white flower garland and some gold ornaments. Simple yet beautiful na.... Do share how you made yours...

Newspaper Vase and Rose

We are blessed with a cute princess so i was busy and could not write any post even though i indulged in some crafts...
so here is one such craft .... recycling newspapers....
The rose is also made of newspaper. I did not take any pics while making the rose and vase.....
The vase is made using the same concept of newspaper weaving which i have mentioned earlier in one of my posts. For the rose, petals are cut from the newspaper and attached to each other to form a rose. Will make a DIY some other day with step by step pics... For now enjoy the Vase with its beautiful Rose...

Rose glued to the vase.

       

Up and close

                                                       
I left the vase and colored the rose dark red, so the combination feels classy.
Let me know how do find this vase and rose...
