I was inclined towards art and craft since childhood, my mother use to send me for drawing classes and thats how it started. During my schooldays i use to make paintings and water fountains. One of my Water fountain creation is still at display in one of the famous eatery place in Kolkata.

I was into full time job but had to quit because of my health issues and got in touch with my then neighbour and a famous crafter Sonal Shah thats how my crafting journey re-started by assisitng her. I learnt Decoupage from Mayura Vaze and since then its been a non-stop ride for me. My Style of Craft is Bold , Neat and Creative and my main forte is Decoupage.

Some of her best projects:

Her First post:

This is my first ever blogging experience. Hope you guys will enjoy it :)

For my first post I am sharing a decoupage tray which i have created using Nakshathra Designz Paper. As soon as i laid my eyes on this beautiful paper i knew that i wanted to use it and i decided to make a tray out of it. So Lets go through step by step procedure on how to make a Tray thats heat and water resistant.

Measure the inner area of the tray and accordingly cut the decoupage paper with the help of a cutting Mat, a Ruler and a cutter.

Once the paper was cut to the appropriate size i decided to paint the sides and the inner area of the tray with a dark maroon - brownish shade.

Then with the help of Modpodge i adhered the decoupage paper and gave a coat of modopodge on top to seal it nicely.

Once the top coat of modpodge was dry, i gave a coat of Asian Paints Aquador PU Matte finish Vanirsh to secure the whole project.

and to make the tray heat and water resistant i decided to add a layer of resin.

and Voila A Beautiful Tray is ready to Serve!

Hope you guys enjoyed the post ..
