Handmade Rakhis

 I was supposed to post about handmade Rakhee, before Raksha Bandhan.It got delayed because I was attending a workshop to learn a different craft.

 Raksha Bandhan is festival in India to celebrate bondage between brother and sister. All the Indians know about this.Lots of Rakhis are available in market , I prefer to send handmade Rakhis, but everytime due to lack of time , end up sending Rakhis which are bought from market. Few years ago I had made Rakhis using quilling strips.  Those were liked by all my brothers. 

This year learnt another craft, polymer clay jewellery making. Thought of making , Rakhis using polymer clay. I'm just learning this craft, so these have not come out nicely. :(

Rakhis made using Polymer clay

Will make better ones next time.

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

Raksha Bandhan- Bondage between brother and sister-Quilled Rakhis

Raksha Bandhan- the occasion to  celebrate the bondage between sister and brother. 

The bond of love and affection between brother and sister, is one of the noblest human emotions. I don't think, any sister would forget the sweet moments spent with her brother. I still remember, while going to school,  how my brother was to hold my hands and take me to school. During rainy season, he used to take utter care that, I should not get wet in rain, how my brothers pampered me during my childhood,how my brothers supported during bad period of my life...

Oh, if I go on telling, this will be endless.

 Every year, for Raksha Bhandhan , I decided to make handmade Rakhees to send it to my brothers, but could not. 

This year, at last my wish came true. So ,sending handmade Rakhis to my lovely brothers and cousins. Here are the quilled rakhis.

These are with floral design:

Floral design with Kundans  attached. Another one is butterfly!

This is a cute Teddy Bear!

And all the Rakhees are ready with the cards to get posted.

 May be these are made of colourful papers, but lots of wishes and love wrapped in each of these.Hope my brothers and cousins like these Rakhees.

Many of my projects in arts and crafts are in finishing stage. Soon share about those in coming posts.

Until then,

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,
