Love is like a tree that grows stronger year by year, 

cherished  by our laughter and sometimes by our tears.

Laughter because the fragrance we share in love serves 

the air for our love tree to grow and maybe these 

tears we cry out bestows water to keep it alive. 

These thoughts lingered in my mind while looking at this 

empty bottle:




That is when I ended up making a love tree in a simple vase. 

We can create an atmosphere of love and romance with a 

candle-lit evening dinner. With the help of a few materials 

around the house you can increase the romantic tone of the 

evening. Surprise your loved one with some simple 

decorations to turn an ordinary dinner table into a special 

one.

To get started:
I painted the bottle with acrylic paint.


These are other things I used.


Then I took red colored sheet, drew many hearts and cut it out.


From the same sheet I cut out many stripes and curled them down as shown:


I then tied them with woolen thread.

Finally using golden wire, small white beads, attaching them all together to take a form of branches, here is the final love tree.


Many other bottles of different shapes and sizes can be used with varied decorations to beautify your home or decorate a beautiful candle light dinner table.

DECORATIVE BOX

Was just hanging out when mom was about to throw this empty box.



I thought why not create best out of waste. This box can be used for keeping so many things like toffees, jewellery, etc

I started decorating the box.







Finally this is what i got.


Think before throwing anything away. Making something useful just needs a little thought!!!!
Quick cards is what we all need. Most of the time we end up with situations where you need to give someone a card in no time.
