As a Diwali gift my friend Shwetha sent me these cute little diyas that she painted herself. Aren't they lovely!!! Not only I liked these but also the box she packed them in. Later I got to know that she made these beautiful gift boxes at home using scrap paper. I wanted to give them a try. As per Shwetha's suggestion I started with thick magazine papers as a practice. Check out the picture below, boxes came out perfect and colorful. All you need then is a nice ribbon to tie it on. They are super simple and easy to try. Scrap paper can be bought at any craft store. The Sky's your limit with colors and prints available in scrap paper. Here is the video link for step by step instructions.
Super cool!!!
ReplyDeleteHey nice work..But one thing I don't seem to get here is...Buy "scrap" paper n make 'em?? Old Magazine papers etc rt? or actually isn't this exercise supposed to allow u to use such old stuff for gud use??
ReplyDelete@Soumya Shree - Thanks Soumya. Yes, you can certainly use magazine papers as I did here. But at the same time you can also use the paper that is typically for scrap booking for more professional look.
