Hey every one ! how are you doing !??
 A new month has started and this is the fourth month of this year and again I am being reminded that my college is soon going to be over ! 
Well, I wanted to start a new series on my blog and I thought why not recapitulate all the things I have done on this blog !
 So the series "CRAFTY RECAP"! I will be posting one every month starting from this month or when I have enough to actually do a recap post :D.

The weather has started to get warm , indicating the arrival of spring! I love this season because the temperature is perfect ! and it is time to wear bright colors! Being surrounded by beautiful flowers makes you wanna dress up in bright colors. 

And if I have to think about the trend where we can sport very bright colors, then it would be the trend of neon colors. Be it clothes , accessories ,shoes and everything else almost we can see a pop of these bright colors :).

At times I think what exactly qualifies for being vintage. Some new things also are called vintage and when I did a little research I understood why ! And then When I was making this blue mixed media bracelet I also made this. But couldn't understand what name to give to this one :).

The year 2013 was the year I started blogging and I must say that this is my new passion.
I just love this, thought there are many reasons why I do , but I do :)



The topics which I started with and I focus the most on is crafts and DIYs because I believe in making life simpler and beautiful at the same time without depending on others to do that for you!

It has been a long time since I have posted my last craft tutorial!
I made a lot of cards and other crafts during the holidays , but couldn't post them immediately,so here I go!

It's raining and raining and raining here in Kolkata!!
More than half of the city is flooded!
Continuously !

The days are so gloomy and  drab that I needed my share of fun and colors!
And I had both today! I thought of refashioning an old and faded bangle !

Making cards is one more thing I like to do with paper

A quick post of the card I recently made.

This is the card I made using quilling and the paper roses I made here.

Rose garden card

One easy way to decorate things is with paper flowers. Becaue it's cute and cheap and something you can DIY! I really like this flower that I am going to teach you! Time to teach you how to make spiral roses!! I love the way these spiral roses turn out cause they are so easy to make and yet very lovely.

Paper swirl rose with accents

I made these a lot before with one solid color and those are very common.
But since it is my time to get inspired ,the dual shaded roses did the job.
So, These accents came to my mind.

Make these lovely simple paper flowers for making cards or decorations !!

Hi every one

As I have already told you about my weakness towards those lovely lovely RIBBONS, so I am posting another DIY with ribbons

As we all know that by classic bookmarks I mean those red ribbon bookmarks which we used to have in classic books. It is easy to just stick a ribbon on the back of your book and have one

BUTTON BOOKMARK

Hey everybody!!

recently like I already said i have been reading quite a lot!!

So wanted to make a new type of bookmark again !!
so I raided my craft closet

and found that  I had these small paperclips and lots of buttons !!

Hello again!!
This week I have been doing a lot of reading.So,as usual in the hostel i didn't have any bookmark.

That is why i thought of making some cute book marks.
I didn't have much crafting material except for my scissors and glue!!

That's why I thought why not recycle the paper from my old copy covers.

And then I made these cute and quick bookmarks
