your cozy corner

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 They have been replaced by photos with a lengthy caption like that on Instagram.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

Being a lover of best out of waste. I do not let go waste empty boxes. I use them in a creative way. You can do it too. Instead of buying an expensive box for your stuff, build your own, something which suits your needs and your butt load of crafty stuff. Another one is for my jewllery collection!!

I wanted to make a chandelier for my lil brother. He is my cousin and comes home twice or thrice in a month. Whenever he comes he shows this great enthusiasm seeing the DIY craft work I do. He points out with his teeny-weeney fingers the crafts hanging in my room as if he wants them. This is how it looked like.

Saw vids on Youtube and tutorilas for making a Chinese new year lamp. Here they are..... I used a waste paper which i colored with water color and had a pattern on them. I used waste magazine papers and colored them red with acrylic color.  oops!!! The staples and can be seen. Since this was an experimental project I did not decorate much.
