It's a wedding season in Nepal, and our very closed friend  Chandu  recently got hitched. To honor her, we threw Bachelorette Party. Here's the  simple tricks and tips to organize it. 1. Photo Booth: For photo booth, we made the photo backdrops out of silver paper plates, tape it carefully so that it overlaps and get the scallop effect. 2.   Photo Props: Please see here for the photo props tutorial. The Fun Props! The Girls! 3. Dress Code: The color coordinating is a fun part for the Bachelorette Night, we made bride-to-be wear a great number in pink and rest of the girls (bridesmaids) wore black dress.

Today's DIY is a personification of a very dear friend and sister - Chanda , who recently tied a nuptial knot. The literal meaning of Chanda is " the moon ", hence I made this customized wall clock specially for her. I wrote down the last para of the poem - 'To The Moon" by Percy Bysshe Shelley on it and presented it on her Bachelorette Night! Thou chosen sister of the Spirit,       That gazes on thee till in thee it pities ... Although, 'To The Moon' is a romantic poem, yet so lonely type of poem, however I have completely different interpretation for Chanda . She is a one-of-a-kind friend and a sister who will always shine amongst  us and will be never alone or lonely! The Moon Clock We love you to the moon and back, Chandu! The Moon Clock in making!

On my hubby's 30th Birthday, I wanted to do something very special for him, as he's going out of country a year mission and I'm gonna miss a lot of special occasions with him. For the start, I made the personalized  invite via Picmonkey  for my hubby's 30th Birthday. BTW, his nickname is Chakku.;) Chakku's 30th Birthday  I wished him HAPPY BIRTHDAY at midnight and gifted him photograph of our wedding day so that he can have our BIG DAY memory by his side, no matter how far we are from each other! I bought the Nepali kagaj photo frame from Mahaguthi who sells best handicraft items in Nepal.

Store your beautiful memories in a box, if you say how? Then, this is how we do it -  Memories in a Box! INSTRUCTIONS: Step#1:   I started off, by selecting my best and favorite pictures which was from our last year's 'Kerala and Goa Holiday' album. Step#2 :  I stuck all the developed instagram pictures in a long strip  of white chart paper and folded it. Step#3:   When pictures were all done, I kept it inside the box ( Nepali Kagaj Box )- which I got it from Nepali handicrafts shop. This DIY is an incredible way to make a portable album which also serves as a decorative piece and for the gift ideas. I'm sure you'll love storing your most unforgettable adventure in a box... like I did!!!

Rather than just throwing away the candy box, we can upcycle it for the purpose of storing jewellery or anything you want, or as the gift box. 1. Pansy Flower Box: Pansy Flower Box 2. Cherry Blossom Box: Cherry Blossom Box Step#1: I painted the box with single color with acrylic paint,          but  it would be better to use spray paint for                   the  background.         Step#2: I drew my favorite flower designs - Pansy and          Cherry Blossom(Sakura). Put on your creative hat and think outside the box to make your customized box.
