Gifting Made Pretty - Handmade Gift Envelopes


Hello all you lovely people out there! I had a fabulous weekend and I hope you all rocked it too.
So the last time I  went to this stationary shop to pick up some large paper clips and as usual had a random glance to all the stuff the shop had stocked. Found these pretty card stock papers which I just couldn't resist and somehow had to pick them up. Once I bought them, all I could think of making was gift envelopes which would add a pretty factor to any gift in them :)
I crafted these in different sizes cos sometimes we really don't require large envelopes for gifting.
Take a look at them all and in case you're interested in purchasing them do email me at kraftykrook@yahoo.in

The Mini Lot
Mini envelopes measuring 12.7 x 6.7 Cm
The LARGE LOT
Envelopes measuring ~17 x12cms
Pretty pretty prints and lovely colours... Loved crafting each and every one of them. And this is not all... have a lot more envelopes to share over here. Just didn't get the time to photograph them.

So I'll be selling these in sets: Mini's in sets of 5 & the large ones in sets of 2. In case any of you are interested, do leave in an email at kraftykrook@yahoo.in.

Till then,
Have a great day ahead!
Happy Crafting!

DIY of the Week: Make Quirky Coasters from Newspapers

Happy Friday People! Hope you all are doing good! I'm in good shape and kicking off this summer with a lot of projects that are going to be up on the blog in the coming weeks. 

I love experimenting with the unused stuff lying around my house. The last time it was a quirky pen stand from newspaper. Based on the same concept are these quirky and colourful coasters made from newspaper. So simple & easy & if you simply love to keep colourful things in your home, these coasters are a must try.
To start off with these, you'll need thin newspaper rolls that we made in the last DIY, some old book covers, acrylic metallic paints & some fevicol. 
Cool isn't it? A super way to convert trash into treasure and what's a better way than using all the newspapers to create such beautiful pieces for your home! 
Hope you've enjoyed today's DIY and I hope you guys enjoy making it too!

Till then,
Have a super duper weekend! And Happy Crafting!
