The toughest part of writing a blog is... how to begin :/ you have no idea how many times i write and erase the beginning of every post. All this pain because i love you all so much, no seriously, i really do :)

Time for some serious stuff. This post is basically a recycling project.

YES! A. RECYCLING. PROJECT.

How?

Have a look at the list of supplies:

 A piece of velvet.
a CARDBOARD strip
Some gems and stones
thumb tacks
glue gun
andddd a button... you cant see it above because i got it later.

Steps:
1. Soften your strip by pressing it. Keep the side A an inch extended from the strip. Now stick the sides "B" on "D". Fold the side "C" again on "D". Apply some glue on the edge of side A to close its open end. DO NOT STICK IT ON "D". Leave it extended.

2. Stick a stone on the outer side of band in the middle to make the center for your flower. Apply a drop of glue on its edge. Take a thumb tack and place where you applied glue and press it in, in a slanting position as shown below.

Keep overlapping tacks until a flower is made.

Add more stones and flowers as desired

3.Make a slit on the edge you left extended earlier.

 And stitch a button on the other end.

Enjoy! ;)

There are a million ways to recycle everything around us and a reason one must recycle is to save our planet from pollution :)

KEEP DREAMING... KEEP DIY-ING!!!
