An Upcycling: Women's Day Edition

Hey guys👋
How are you doing! 💕
I confess to be a kind of person who sees potential in everything that seems trash to others and hoards them thinking that they might be used effectively one day.
So this is the story of today's creativity.
We all know this is the women's month, to me it is all about acknowledging the efforts and potential of women. It is also about equal rights and equal responsibility. And celebrating the roles that are being played by women in a way that no one can think of, whether she's a mother, a daughter or a wife.

It is so beautiful to think that the way men and women look at the things around them is different. I think women romanticise things more than men and I really love that. Like we tend to enjoy rain more , get more excited about rainbows, butterflies, stars, clouds, birds and flowers. I mean I'm just in love with them✨.

So as my entry for this women's day special contest I'm gonna showcase things that interest me, in a decoration piece, actually a kind of miniature thing.

Materials

Honestly speaking, I didn't know what I'm gonna use. I just kept on going with the process and relying on the things that I already had.

So these materials are to be used:

• Box (can be of any shape)
• Glue
• Small bottles (you can use any emptied medicine bottle)
• Cardboard
• Color (any of your choice)
• Gesso (optional)
• Printed Stickers
• Dried Flower
• Jute Rop (can be replaced with yarn)

Let's Dive into the Process

I started off with cleaning these bottles. I was sure that the stickers gonna a take much struggle to get off of it, but to my surprise I did it pretty easily, just by applying some dishwasher.

(These caps are to be hoarded for something in future, I'm seeing a lot of potential😅)

Then I took this box (we had got some sweets in them), it's shape was unique and it was pretty stromg too. (Actually we were scammed, box weighed more than sweets😂)

Then I made the rough arrangements for the bottles and marked the lines.

Then I took the cardboard and made shelves or separations.

Then I glued them into the box.

Obviously glue can not be strong enough to hold things. So I made the joints with small pieces of paper.

Then I put the gesso on.

It was a humid day, and it was not drying quickly so i just blow dried it.

Then out of all my collections of dried flowers I chose these.

Then I pasted them with glue and revovled jute around the top of bottles

O my god I was so excited, it lookin much better, and I was hopeful for something good.

After that I started painting the color. I had intended for a very light blue, but ended up making this color. It fine but not that what I had thought of.

Then I made these tiny books. I had printed these covers long ago, and see they are being used today.

Aren't these books cute✨

Among this pile of printed stickers, I curateed dome to paste at the back of showcase.

Guess what! I found these, which had came along with the glass plates.

I cut straps out of it and pasted them over the top 3 sides.

I secured the whole thing with double sticking tape and attached it on the wall.

Then I arranged the materials in it.

So this how it turned out.

And there's my 'The Wall of Art'😅.

So how did it turned out!🦋
It was really fun to make and almost took 2 days to complete. Was tired at the end but was worth working for.✨
