Pencil sketch of Actor Madhavan (Maddy)

I am a big fan of Maddy, and I m not trained or went to any classes so far. Whenever I see any pictures of him, I used to cut it , and gather all his posters, advertisement pictures, etc. From one of the collected image, I thought of drawing it....

Centerpiece Flower Decoration - Art from Waste

Things you'll require:

Old container/pot - ( I have used my moisturising glass pot)

Candle leftovers or you could use readymade candles available in shops.

Some artificial flowers

I have made candle by using left over wax. You need a thread and left over wax.  Melt the wax, and pour into the container (Note it should be glass container or terracotta pot - Do not use plastic bottles). Usage of plastic tends to melt, so avoid using it.

Before it turns into candle, you could insert the thread .

Old Bottle Opener decoration

Old Bottle Opener Decoration

While cleaning my rooms, I found some waste things. One among them is my  bottle opener. It looks old , ugly and seems to be like thrown away. But, I feel like doing something with it. So first thing, I washed it using liquid handwash. 

It's too much old, I scrapped all the dirt and washed two to three times. Pat it to dry, and painted.

Things you'll require:

Old bottle opener 

Paint of your choice

For polka dots, I have used red nail paints, and if you have any left over nails, you could play with it.

You need a pencil or anything that is round to bring a polka effect. Finally, applied varnish. If you want to try out new designs, you could use nail paints, because for a week it comes back to normal.

But after applying varnish, nail paints lasts long. I have used black fabric paint for background.

Sprinkle some glitters. I have used Transparent glitter silver nail paint.
