Happiness is making your own jewelry of your taste that closely matches your outfit at less price.I thought of giving a try for making silk thread jewelry which was a long pending hobby for me. Making silk thread jewelry was not only easy but quiet a lot of fun too.

Silk threads are available in local shop ranging from 15INR (Indian Rupee) to 20INR and one can make lot of earrings, bangles & necklace out of it. Other raw materials also available for making the same.

I made bangles, Jhumkha, necklace and stud from the molds available in shops.

Making of Jhumkha Earring:

Make a thick strands of thread around 20-30 strip and apply glue in the starting point of the thread with molds and wrap it till the end.
Use earring head cap in the top of the jhumkha with the help of eye loop pin and finish it.
One can stick stones or ball chain in the bottom of the jhumkha to make it wonderful.

Making of Earring stud:

There are several ways of making the stud. One of the method is using round earring base by wrapping the silk thread all over and finish it off by sticking the stones on them.

Paper Quilled Earrings

This post is all about earrings made out of quilling paper. I made "jhumkas"(Indian traditional round shaped earring) on which i have painted some pattern with acrylic paint. I have used weaving basket and honey comb technique for the other earrings. 

To protect the earring from water, I used varnish as a top coat

I made simple roll out of quilling paper to make this stud. I painted the earring with blue color to match with my dress.

I made multiple earrings and painted some pattern on earring. One can make their own earring as per their dress combination.

I also made the earring made out of clay, still it takes time for drying, will post in the upcoming week.

Nail Art -- Flamboyant ‘Fest-eves’

India is very rightly classified as a country of festivals and so only India has scores and scores of festivals, unlike any other country of the world. This is because of the diverse cultures that exist in this subcontinent. All these different cultures and religions get tied together in bonds of love with these invisible threads of celebrations. Each sect has the right to celebrate as it wishes and everyone has the right and the interest to join in all celebrations of all others.
True to the above belief, I have tried to portray major 5 festivals from different parts of India through my nail art which namely are Durga Puja/Dussehara, Eid/Moharam, Christmas, Pongal and Diwali (sequence starting from thumb finger).

Materials Used: Nail Polish, Nail acrylic Paints, Paint brush
Time Taken: Less than 1 hour

Nail Art -- Simple Nail Art tutorial

This is my first post for Nail art :) The concept of nail art became popular and very interesting one. Remember that the good looking nails equally reflect a part of your dress up. And I am sure that if you try this art once, you will really enjoy it and you would find yourself lost with this. According to me this art is purely based on ones imagination, and you can therefore design your nails according to what is the need of the hour. The best part of the story is that it is not so much time consuming and also not so costly.

Flower Design:

• First of all using Nail Polish remover, remove old nail polish and make sure that the nails are properly cleaned.

• Now, apply one thin layer of base coat (it would protect the nails from staining). Leave it to dry. If you think that the base is not strong, then better add one more thin layer over it. But avoid thick layers as it takes a lot of time to dry properly.

• Next, apply the black color nail polish and wait for few minutes. Let them dry.

• Use gold color nail polish to make straight lines on the tip of your nails as shown in the picture.

• Now take teal color nail polish and make four dots in the black base color with the help of toothpick or ball pin or dotter tool.

• Use sharpened tip of the toothpick and make a line from tip of the dot to the center(i.e Drag the toothpick) Do the same for remaining dots.

• Make another dot in center to look like a flower.

• Now comes the most important step, the top coat. Not using top coat can completely damage your hard work and the creation. Make it sure that before you apply top coat the initial nail paint is completely dried, otherwise it may intervene with other colors. I suggest that you must wait for atleast 15 minutes before you use top coat.
