Best-out-of-Waste Flower Hanging!

I aim to share a few ideas concerning Indian art and craft through this blog, and any suggestions and feedback will be welcome :)

It's just been Diwali, and here are a few things we've tried out at home, and thought was worth sharing!

Best-out-of-Waste Flower Hanging (Made from Ferrero Rocher waste)



Things You Need:
  1. Card Paper (preferably red, gold or silver)
  2. Tissue Paper
  3. Brown Ferrero Rocher chocolate wrapping
  4. Golden foil from the Ferrero Rocher chocolate
  5. A pair of scissors
  6. Glue
Procedure:
  1. Cut out a floral design of your choice on the tissue paper. (To avoid wasting too much paper, try a rough design first or trace your design on the tissue paper first)
  2. Take this flower cut out of tissue paper and gently stick it on the card paper using the glue (preferably use a glue-stick rather than wet glue as the wet glue tends to show through the petals once dry)
  3. Tear off some of the golden foil used to wrap the Ferrero Rocher and roll it up into a tiny ball, so that it looks like a small golden ball. The idea is to stick this ball onto the tissue paper flower so as to make it look like a bud between the petals after Step 4.
  4. Also, gently tear off the brown wrapping from the chocolate and place the 'bud' onto the centre of the wrapping. Once done, stick this brown wrapping onto the actual tissue paper flower, as shown in the photo above.
Voila, your Best-out-of-Waste Flower Hanging is made! You can use this as a handmade rangoli, use it as a wall hanging or anything creative you can think of!
