Precious Paper succulents

 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

It's Khadijah here!

It's nearly an year ago since we last posted on this blog, SubhanAllah, however we haven't forgotten you! Alhamdulillah, we have been too occupied to sit and post the many exciting things that have been going on, and what we have been up to. InshaAllah, whenever we are untied from all the chores and commitments we will definitely make the time to keep our blog alive!

In this post I am going to share with you my handmade paper succulents that I crafted recently. They come in two groups : the 1st one consists of nearly all my handmade paper succulents while the other is  simply a set of pots.

The majority of these paper succulents went through various stages: from living in a lovely wooden box to living in a delicate circular wall decor piece. Finally, they have settled in this beautiful transparent plastic box; the best part about this box is that dust is prevented from destroyed the beauty of them! MashaAllah. 


This is how the decor looks with the lid

Here's how it looks without the lid.





Here's the other decor : a set of terracotta pots that I hand painted the word 'JOY' on, and made suitable succulents to fit inside them. 

To make the decor symmetrical, I made a large succulent for "Y" pot and a duplicate which is however smaller for "J" pot. I adore snake plants, in fact - they are as well succulents, so I decided to make one of this kind for the letter "O" pot. It looks stately besides the other two lower plants, Alhamdulilah.

Here's how the plants in the pots "J" and "Y" look from top:

MashaAllah, I'm elated to have my creations displayed at our home- constantly fooling guests into thinking I maintain real succulents! I hope you enjoyed this post and get inspired to make some greenery yourself as well! InshallAllah see you next time, until then, let's continue to get creative and inspired!

Assalamuaikum.

Eid gifts (1)

                                               Assalamualykum everyone! It's Hanah here! I'm excited to share with you the gifts I received from my sister on Eid, they were all handmade with love and we thoroughly enjoyed making them for each other!    This gesture was inspired due to  Crafty Muslimahs , we really admire how they make handmade gifts for each other for Eid.   Making these crafts took a month or so - we didn't expect to make so much for each other, however we found it pretty addictive to make the gifts, and the best part was we did not show each other our gifts, it was definitely hard to keep it secretive until Eid, but we did it! One gift a day, made with the labour of love added to 13 in all! As the saying goes : " A little progress everyday adds up to BIG RESULTS! " Today is part 1 and I'll be sharing you the gifts I received from my sister! So here's an overlook at all the gifts my sister gave me on Eid!      ( I can't believe the am

                                               Assalamualykum everyone!                              We have an obsession for jars, we think they look so adorable. Every time we find a jar we recycle them into something cute.  Today we thought to show you 5 different ways to decorate jars!  Probably we might have shown some of these in some of our past posts, however we thought it would be nice idea to include all the jars in this specific post. And now, let's begin! This  jar is one of our best, it's a nebula jar and we really love the pastel colours in it! We reused this jar and we really like the gold lid! Next, we have this bottle with a heart on it's lid, we think it looks so cool!   we used this jar, We then added some shredded paper inside the jar, Using glue, we sprinkled glitter on the middle of the jar's lid, we made sure to leave the gold border around the lid. we used air dry clay to shape a heart,once it was dry we painted over it, and then we sprinkled  a
