Wool Lampshade  To make this lampshade we need wool, balloon, cornstarch and glue. Inflate the balloon to the required size. Next the wool or thread needs to be dipped in a mixture of cornstarch, glue and water in the correct consistency (not too thick or thin). Start wrapping the balloon with the wool randomly but keeping a space in top corner. This space would be used to insert the bulb/wiring for the lamp. Continue wrapping the balloon but ensure the wool is sticking to each other. Let it dry overnight. Once it is fully dry the balloon is deflated and taken out and the lamp is ready. It can be used on a stand or a hung from the ceiling with the help of wiring. It can be used as a centerpiece of dinner parties and smaller wool balls can be used as christmas ornaments.

Recycled wine bottle Multicolored  thread and wool used to cover an old wine bottle with glue. It can be used as planter or simply for decoration. Using ropes gives a awesome rustic look.

They are rolled to look like small snails. The base is made in the same way, paper rolled into a circle (depending on how big you want your vase to be). You need immense patience to just keep making these rolls and can get frustrating at times. :) Once done, colour them with acrylic colours for more durability and start attaching it to the base with an  adhesive. There would be some gaps in between the circles which can be filled with smaller circles wherever needed. Once finished coat it with varnish for better durability. This can be used as a vase,
