Using Chai Glasses to Create Candle Votives II

Hello People! Hope you all are doing well! We're great, in fact, getting better day by day! 

Before I go further on my post, I would like to share great news with you people. Firstly, our posts were featured on the decor section in magicbricks.com, the extension site of Times of India which deals in properties & home solutions. Check it out here. Secondly, we've got our first coupon sponsor-27coupons.com who will be sponsoring discount coupons for our blog which we will giveaway in the form of games & contests. We're already giving out our first 10 coupons. For more details do visit our facebook page. 

So, going to my favourite chai glasses... I must say they're simply awesome! You can simply try out so much with them. In my previous post on Chai Glasses, i had featured chai glasses with only a detailed design with a plain glass rim. This time I tried painting the glasses in a combination of vibrant colours with a detailed design on the glass rim. Here are a few snapshots... and yes, they look beautiful.

Here are the snapshots with the chai glasses lit up with led tea lights. 

Don't they simply look awesome? I simply love the effect they radiate. 

Well, just for your knowledge all these glasses have been painted in permanent glass paints. So there's no worry about the paints fading away or scraping off! They're forever to stay! 

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on these. Good or bad, do tell us what you think! And for those of you who would love to purchase any of these do email me at kraftykrook@yahoo.in

In the meanwhile, you could also purchase our chai glasses at Shopo and YellowTrunk.

I look forward to hearing from you guys..

Till then, 

Happy Crafting!

Junk'd - Pen Stands from Beer Cans and Old CD's

Hello there! Hope you all have been good :)

Last time I had talked about the Multi utility stands from newspaper & old magazines. This post is an extension to it; the only difference being that these pen stands are made from beer cans, old CD's and some jute twine.

Yes, I love to use old scratched CD's for my projects since they simple make a great option as a base to my pen stands. And of course, I would love to experiment more with the CD's stacked in my house. I'm sure there'll be numerous ideas to turn them into something useful. 

Well here are few snapshots of the pen stands I've made recently:

You can make your own pen stands using beer cans or even juice/cola cans. There's a lot you can do with it and lot of ways to make them. Other alternatives to jute twine:

- Use newspaper strips

- Use Paper Tape

- Left over fabric pieces

- Lace borders

And lots more. Use your own imagination and creativity. 

So what are you waiting for, go ahead and make your own quirky pen stands. 

Till then, Happy Crafting!
