Ice-cream stick Spiral Wall Hanging -How to do Sprial Wall Hanging ( step by step)

Ice-cream Stick Spiral Wall hanging - DIY



I am posting step by step tutorial on how to do it, and this is  inspired spiral wall hanging craft. A few months back, I noticed this type of wall hanging made with palm leaf strips. The exact material which we see in  korai pai( table wall hangings).

 Thing's you'll require:

Ice-cream sticks (popsicle sticks) - 80

Glue - ( I have used Indian Fevicol Glue)

Cloth clips - 5 to 6

Thread - to hang it.

Colors : Fabric or acrylic or oil or water colour

I painted using Fabric.

 

Step 1: 
Place two sticks in cross or X direction. Apply glue on it.

Step 2:

Repeat the same steps placing the sticks in cross direction.


Step 3 :

You could place five to eight , and I have  made 6 to 8  cross sticks in completing one single piece.





Step 4:

After completely its dried, paint it with colors. 


Step 5:
Place two sticks one after another, and now wrap the center with thread. Now stick the thread sticks with above portion pieces.



Step  6:

Finally, complete sticking all pieces. I have added cloth clips because it holds more firm while pasting two pieces.



Ice-cream stick Spiral Wall Hanging is ready.


You could twist the stick bottom, it would be colorful while its spinning round.

Popsicle/ Ice-Cream Stick Coasters


I did this Tea Coasters using Popsicle sticks.

Things you'll require is

Sticks - 9 ( I have used 9 for a circle, and if you want short coasters too you could prepare)

Glue

Painting colors of your choice

How to do this:

1) First arrange the sticks vertically on a single horizontal stick.

2) Now draw a circle using any round device or CD or  Jar caps or compass. ( I used my compass, yes the mathematical device)

3) After completing the circle, cut it out , and allow it to dry for an hour or leave it for one day.

Why I am saying these coasters to dry completely for one day is because it would be more stronger and not in a breaking condition or rip apart while painting within few seconds.

4) Paint your own designs to it. I love vintage designs, so for my Popsicle coasters I want my version of vintage roses.

How about this Vintage roses Popsicle Coasters? Do you like this idea? Please feel free to comment about it
