Mix Media Rangoli

This all started with a shiny silver cake base and turned out to be a concept rangoli. I visited craft store and moment i passed the cake base aisle the base were looking towards me and telling me that we are ready made rangolis bases take us home and do Naisha touch on us. So I got one home and used all different kind of stuff available with me and made this ashatvinak rangoli. I used
cake base
metallic colors
old magazines
some clay Ganesha
thread
kundan
and glue to stick everything together

Ashatvinayak Rangoli or Diwali centerpiece

Lakshmi feet

Diwali is coming so we have to make something for Lakshmi ji also. I saw small pretty feet cookie cutter in a shop and first thing that i visualized was cute Lakshmi feet  rangoli (you can call it Diwali decor). To make Lakshmi feet you need

1) feet mold or feet shape cookie cutter

2) POP

3)colors of your choice ( I used red,orange,gold,silver)

4) most important ---- your imagination and you your personal Naisha touch

Procedure

1) coat you mold with oil/Vaseline/ cooking spray 

2) keep it on a leveled surface

3)mix POP and add to the mold

4) wait for 1/2 hr

5) take the product out of mold

6) sand the rough edges

7) paint with choice of your colors

Owl Cake

I arranged a owl theme party and wanted a easy owl cake so here is my version and it was ready in half hour

                                                         owl eggless mango cake

to decorate this cake I used following

1) 8' round cake

2)chocolate frosting

3)pineapple slices

4)slice almonds

5)icecream cone

take the cake and do a thing layer of frosting. if your kids like chocolate you can go with a thick layer too. and if you are not a frosting fan you can use whipped cream with a brown food color

then add the things as shown in the pic. 

Paper Lanterns

Diwali is around the corner and what can be better than an easy decorating Naisha idea. To make stylish paper lanterns you will need :
1) any handmade printable paper. I used 24 lb parchment paper in antique gold.
2) print any picture of your choice and cut it out.
3) Glue the ends to-gather. and if you want Naisha touch do some embroidery or attach some lace or crystal to hide the join. I added the cross stitch and small tassels in the coordinating color
4) you can use it as is with a tea light candle
5) I wanted to go one step more and I added a cardboard base and wooden feet to make it not just a lantern but a nice paper lamp.

                                                               I added tassel and ghungroo

                                    used as is over the tea light candles

added wooden feet to decorate my stairs
