Interactive Rakhi card

Hi friends am here today to share an interactive Slider rakhi card..

First Stamped the surf board stamp from Mudra to form a sunflower  and then colored with steadtler watercolor pencils and happiness enclosed sentiment..
Then for the slide panels stamped flowers and sentiment happy from Mudra stamps for upper panel .Rakhi below happy sentiment  is handwritten. .

 For the down panel stamped the same flowers and made 2 holes with hole punch and tied  handmade rakhi .. finally added a small tab to the upper panel to pull the slider up and my card is done..

Handmade Rakhis

Hi friends am here with handmade Rakhis today ..

 Have a tutorial how to make these handmade rakhis ..these are so easy to make..
you need stone lace ,embroidery thread (anchor thread ) , a wire ,scissor and some beads.

 starting with the lace this lace has a plastic sheet backing .. i have a large sheet but you can buy 2 or 3 lines in the stores these stone lace is used in embroidery work and for decorating silk thread jewellery..

 cut 2 lines  of the lace with scissor

 then cut according to the length you want..

 now cut 3 inch wire and insert into the thread ..this wire works as needle

 press the wire and now start inserting the wire into the lace in between the 2 lines as you have plastic backing so the thread is secured between the plastic sheet and stones.. 

 for the simple design first place a bead and then lace and then a bead again..

 tie knots near the beads so that beads and lace will be in position..

 as the same way you can insert any beads and make your own design..

these are the rakhis i made for my brothers ..

hope you like them ..
Thanks for stopping by ..have a nice day  and  Happy Rakshabandan in advance.. :)

Handmade Rakhi

HI friends am with a tutorial to make this Rakhi..

 with less supplies you can make beautiful Rakhi at home you just need  Cotton twine (Anchor thread ), silk thread of same color,Scissor , flat stones bead ..

place a piece of thread in between 2 fingers and then wrap the cotton and silk thread together around the 2 fingers ..if you know how to make pom pom then its the similar thing am doing..but don't wrap much as we are not making a pom  pom :)

 after wrapping tie a knot tightly in the middle

 and cut the edges

 and now spread them to make round shape..

then tie the bead by a piece of thread

 and do not cut the extra thread now

take the desired length of the thread make a simple braid

 and tie it to the center with the extra thread we left after tying bead..

 and the Rakhi is ready..so simple.. :)

 Hope you like it..
Thanks for stopping by today ..Have a nice day .. :)
