I have been doing a lot of DIYs since past 6 months and most of them are worthy of posting. But as you all know blogs are fading slowly. They have been replaced by photos with a lengthy caption like that on Instagram. It does not actually give a lot of freedom in terms of expressing yourself but it just makes publishing your work so easy. I have been blogging since a very long time and I like the slow process of it. It takes time for you to write a read-worthy blog and a much longer time for it to get views. More than likes views matter more. The act of someone seeing your work is more important. Appreciation through likes and loves is kind of asking too much from your audience. You might just want to leave it to them! So here I am back to the old times when I would proudly write about my thoughts about converting waste into something useful. Diwali 2017 was a big event for Auntmade. We made lamps, oh my favorite! LAMPS!!!! The favorite part was...they were all sold more than wh...

Hello folks, Its been a long time since I updated this blog but that was because I was busy working with some ideas. I have come up with some really cool stuff. I bought some nice high quality left overs from various shops around in Mumbai and I decided to do something about it. Since these pieces of material are not very long and are of different lengths I decided to make something which can accommodate these materials. They are the material which are used for curtain making, sofa making and cover making and these are strong and of a very good quality. They have various patterns from Indian traditional style to very very simple and basic. So I bought some matching colored plain material for them to go with and I came up with Floor Rugs/Mats. If you want to buy any of these I have an Etsy shop Link: https://www.etsy.com/in-en/shop/Auntmade?ref=shop_home_edit

Hello all, this is made out of cardboard and parcel boxes. Step 1: Take a cardboard of any size as per your requirement Take parcel boxes(any stationary store will provide you  with this) Step 2: Cut the cardboard in the shape as per your favorite character or shape. Step 3: Cut the boxes in half and decide their places on the cardboard. Now paste them.   Step 4: Now color all of this with black or any color you may like. I used spray paint. Use it to keep light weight objects since the aluminium box can be fragile. This will make your room look cool and peppy. Try it!

Here i had a spaghetti which was plain white and worn out badly. I gave it a 'space' look. My sister helped me out in the whole process.  Here is how i converted into a wearable top. I selected  three colors. Then i put tapes as shown in the pic below to make a striped top. I used sponge to color all over the top. This was the initial look. Then I put silver on the white stripes. I tied knots on the back to give a cool look. I made my sister my model and made her wear it and pose for the photos. We decided to adore with it a golden chain which looked awesome. Tell me if you guys like the idea. Tell me if you have some suggestions. Have a good day!
