Merry Christmas, dear readers! Hope this season brings you much joy and peace, despite the problems that still persist with the virus! 

Here are my latest favourite projects - Leaf trays made from newspaper tubes, using red and green tubes to add a little Christmas vibe to it! 


And check out these pretty Christmas baubles - yet another eco-friendly project. Though not by me! This is done by a group called PeopleKraft. Do check out their Insta page for more of their work. These baubles are made from scrap fabric, left over from various other projects. I thought it was an innovative way of reusing such material and so, ordered a couple of these baubles for my Christmas tree! 

Once again, a Merry Christmas!

Its that time of the year! A time of joy and cheer! And on my blog, this is the time to create some Christmas themed newspaper weaving crafts! So this year, I decided to go ahead and redo the leaf tray from my previous post! Using Christmas colours of red and green - naturally! 



 And let me say, I am absolutely delighted with the way this tray has turned out! I used random red/green tubes, and I love the effect produced by this random mix. The handle was also attached differently. I like this method better. 

Overall, a nice bit of work to end this year!

A little experiment for making a small, leaf-shaped tray, in time for Christmas! This little tray has been on my to-do list for quite some time now, especially since I have already made a couple of leaf trays using the coiling technique of weaving.  

Since I had already coloured some tubes green and red, in anticipation of some Christmas themed newspaper weaving projects, I decided to use a few of them to try out this little leaf tray. Well, it turned out not to so little after all - measuring around 10-inches at the maximum length!
 


While I quite liked the leaf stalk that I added, I think I need to figure out a better way, or rather,  a more aesthetically pleasing way of adding it! 

Other than that, I am in love with this tray and I think I will do one more using Christmas colours! What say??
