Festival time-2

Who does not love festival season? Festivals bring the feeling of joy and warmth… a sudden sense of happiness and freshness come with them. Diwali, the festival of lights not only brightens our houses but illuminates our hearts also. Festivals always pushed me back to the childhood memories… of wearing new clothes, visiting friends& family, enjoying delicious meals and eating yummy sweets without counting :))

I remember how the houses were beautifully adorned with lights, flowers and rangolis on Diwali. I recollect my mother busy cleaning up the house, polishing brass lamps,buying new clay figurine of goddess Lakshmi and lord Ganesha…decorating the door steps with aipans, lighting clay diyas and hanging new bandanwaar on the entrance door…so keeping up with the tradition I made a bandanwaar for my home and planning to do some aipans too which I will post later...but for now I am sharing my new bandanwaar idea. Hope you will like it.



First I cut some cardboard shapes…

Then I made some strings with the party streamers by twisting them as you can see in the picture…

Then I glued them on the cardboard shapes.

Then I made some roses with streamer and glued it to the finished shapes...

Braided some more streamers...

Glued the finished shape to the braid...

it's ready now...

can be used for wall decoration...
