CD craft












Material needed

  • Recyled cds- lots and lots of it.
  • Adhesive 
  • Scissors
  • Decoarative material- colours, glitters, beads, paper, sketch pens
  • Bottles, newspaper etc. 





Used beer bottle and cds used to make this bottle. The cd was cut up into small pieces with scissors and then stuck to the bottle using adhesive. It gives a mosaic look. The bottle can be used for  keeping small indoor plants or simply as a decorative piece. It looks amazing when different light sources strikes it, almost giving it a disco ball effect. 


Cd coasters

The cds have first been lacquered with acrylic colours. It was then scratched using any sharp material like scissor, pencil, old pen etc. Any interesting designs can be made on this. To give it a finishing touch, it was given a coat of varnish and voila! The coasters are ready to be used. 



The picture is self descriptive. Cd are used to make simple animals using any decorative material lying at home. These can be good creative projects for children to keep them preoccupied.

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,

Entanglement

Entanglement Was it a mistake? The most endearing one Was it your embrace? The most impressionable Was it hurt? It did lacerate Was it friendship? But it’s always vague Was it a moment? Ethereal and abysmal   Was it your caress? Perhaps a transitory relapse Was it love? I did feel so… Was it love? But it’s always vague.

Fitness Shitness Hai Rabba !!

Never in my life have I been a fitness freak or someone who even does exercise inside the house. Hitting the gym was always on the ' to do' list that kept changing every year, keeping only the laziness constant. Infact the only fitness related activity I have ever done in my life would include taking my school children for sports classes and maybe doing a bit of stretching there. Even as a student I remember bunking all my sports classes and march past practices. I had invented  a 'rare' disease which I used in my swimming classes and even got a doctor to write a prescription!  I would get an allergy when I would come in contact with water and sunlight. I hope the advancement in science probably would have found a cure for this deadly disease by now.  It wasn't till a recent party where my obvious paunch was a little too obvious and encouraged a particularly drunk lady to point it out. " Well, such things happen at your age, she said." such thin
