Mobile Cover DIY – One for every mood



Hey everyone,


Wanted to do this DIY for the longest time it’s an easy one so get creative this summer holidays... All you need is a clear, transparent phone case, paper, paper cutter, scissors, paints and your imagination and the best part is it’s a no glue project.

First trace the phone case on the paper to get a rough idea of the size. Next paint anything you like on that paper. Those who find it difficult to draw can trace out a pattern you like. Trim the excess and put it on to your phone. Plastic/transparent  phone cover, then the paper you have painted and then slip in the phone.

I went for:

QUIRKY

Cactus are the cutest actually all succulents are and plants and flowers but that I will keep for another post. Quirky, as cactus can be difficult to pick because of its thorns but a phone just as easy so PICK UP. A statement with a cute cactus is a win win. It turned out so cute. The paper cutter is to cut out the camera focus area on the mobile. Paper cutters’ are sharp so if you can’t manage it take the help of an adult. Trace out the small area and cut.



VINTAGE

If you don’t want the hassle of paper cutter then this next one is for you.  I had painted this extra bit when I painted the mother’s day card.

 These flowers give a nice vintage vibe. All I did was cut it out and it fit snugly in the phone case. No need of glue. This one is easy try it out. And do let me know if you do.



BOLD

When you feel like you want it to be bold and beautiful mixing florals with a pattern is a good idea, so I did florals plus polka dots. I loved this one too.



So which one did you like? Customize it the way you want it and hope you make a fabulous one too.

Here’s wishing you all, happiness and glee forever and beyond now I am sound like Buzz of Toy story the movie. Hope this post was good enough to create a buzz.

Happy Mother's Day




Wishing my Mom a very happy Mother’s day!! What can I say to a Mother who has taught me everything, and still inspires me, whether it’s cooking, baking or to be more creative and most of all always to be a better version of me. I guess, all I can say is a BIG thank you MOM for being such a wonderful, loving and caring Mother.

Cooking is her passion and as long as I can think of she has been baking cakes, and believe me when I say she does not need any occasion, the smell of freshly baked cakes is synonymous with her. It continues till this day and equipment no equipment, oven or no oven.  She probably would  just heat up some stones on a pan and bake a cake. Wait! I think I have eaten that one too.

Patience is another thing she has in plenty and I look up to her for that and try to inculcate it but, that for me is work in progress still and let’s leave it at that.

Positivity, Deep faith in God, Kindness, and Generosity towards not only her children or grandchildren but towards all is worth emulating.  Thank you MOM for everything.

It’s wonderful to receive something handmade from your kids on Mother’s Day or any other day, initially it’s those lovely little cards with drawings on them that one gets, that you appreciate so much only to realize you are holding the card upside down. Ha Ha!!    Now days it’s hi tech cards that I receive. Made on Scrap Mechanic zip zap lasers shoot from here and there and lo and behold the tower opens with happy mother’s day. It’s so fascinating to see it again and again and so endearing too that they put so much of effort in it.

But I went back to basics to make this simple card with some paints and paper and a lot of LOVE. Hope you love it Mom.



Here’s wishing all you lovely mothers out there also a very HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.  As always happiness and glee too!
