Saving Mr. Pots


Saving Mr. Pots - I meant 'Money Pot' (Khutruke 'खुत्रुके' in Nepali), the regular Khutruke is very simple, so you can follow the same instruction from DIY: Design Your Own Flowerpot to give new look to your money pot. Nowadays, we can also find Ganesha (गणेश) shaped Khutruke money pot and by painting it, we can give a life to it!
Design#1: Hand Painted Blue Ganesha Money Pot (Khutruke)
  • This one is simply painted in blue.

Design#2: Hand Painted Yellow Ganesha Money Pot (Khutruke)
  • This one is extravagantly painted and has detailed work - body in yellow and Mukut(headgear)in metallic blue with rhinestones.
  • I have also painted "Om" (ॐ)and "Swastika" (卐)  as these symbols signifies peace, prosperity and wealth.
  • The pink roses are fabric cut outs patched on the belly of Ganesha - decorated with découpage technique.

At first, she did not even notice her toilet seat, but when she did the look on her face and reaction was priceless! And my hard work finally paid off.
