Nits Arts and Crafts

Fresh On Floor :)

I just love the art of kolam and here are few that I did recently.

This one was done on Vinayagar Chathurthi day to decorate the entrance.

I guess I was too happy on that day :):)

This one was for Naga chathurthi celebration. Notice the corners with the snake look.

One more line art kolam :)

Bunch of flowers

A welcome bouquet

Back again with papers. This time I badly wanted to beg, borrow or steal origami papers to make flowers. But thank God.. I could some how find a shop in Chennai that sells these papers. :)

Got loads of colors and now folding all the time :) Absolutely obsessed :)

Here is the result of it

My paper lilies

The whole smiling bunch of lilies

4 colors, 6 papers and 12 flowers :)

Side look

Could not stop liking this pic :)

Here you go for the video tutorial to make these pretty flowers :)

Paper Wallet

Paper is again my favorite tool to make new things. This time it was a wallet for me. :)

It was so simple to make and its absolutely comfortable to carry. But next time I make one, I should see to that I get a nice water proof paper. ;)

I have done a pen drawing butterfly on the wallet to make it look interesting.

This would be the front side of the wallet.

It can easily hold a lot of money and cards too. :)

A one fold paper wallet :)

You can find a youtube video tutorial of it here.

Tiny Paper Bags

Saw a simple tutorial for making small paper bag.. Tried my hand over it. :)

Kay the cutest rabbit of mine in a paper bag. :)

Swan

I just love origami. Its so much fun to create things with paper. This is one of my favorite work of mine. I enjoyed doing it. Saw this tutorial on a tv show and was so thrilled about it. Took two days to complete.

It took around 32 A4 sheets and 260 foldings to complete this one. :)

The elegant swan

Just found a video tutorial for making this swan. Take a look and happy making too. :)

I am sending this to the creative craft event conducted by Kavitha of Kalalayaa art club. :)

Crepe paper flowers

Crepe paper is another easy to use paper that can be used to make a lot of origami flowers. I made few for my vase. :)

The whole bunch before I could arrange them. :)

A closer look at my favorite ones. :)

Crepe roses

I just found an online tutorial for making these crepe roses. Do take a look and happy making.
The other flowers in this bunch were my own creation, hence I have to make a tutorial on my own and post it here. So kindly give me some time to present it to you.
