Flower bunch in a bamboo vase

These flowers and buds were made from stockings material, flexi wires, pips and finally green tape for the outer covering. Stockings material is available in a variety of colors. I’ve used 4 different colors in this. Artificial leaves were added at the end. The vase is made out of ordinary newspaper! I’ve rolled one sheet of paper and glued the edges to make one long piece. 4 such pieces stuck together make one side of the vase. Finally I’ve given them a bamboo effect with shades of yellow acrylic paint. An ordinary rope tied at the bottom and top of the vase not only holds the 4 sides together, but also goes well with the rustic feel of bamboo.

Stockings flowers can be made in many different shapes. Here’s another one.

Crochet mat

Back in school we’d been taught to make crochet hair bands and table mats. I’ve made quite many at home, but all with a black combination. This one was different. My theme was sunset and luckily I had the necessary wool. It took me approximately one full day, but at the end I was pleased with my latest creation.
