Pins For Swap

I have completed the pins for CDAC Pin Swap and they are all set to go!!

Here are a few pics of my pins:

This is my first time doing a stick pin (also my first time doing a salt dough flower!!). So it looks amateurish!!
But anyway I had a good time learning and creating them.

Salt Dough Flowers

After seeing Dr. Sonia's post on salt dough papaya, I wanted to try salt dough projects. Now, I have joined a pin swap in CDAC and my theme is air which means I have to use the colors white and/or yellow. I couldn't find any 'different' bead in white or yellow color in shop, so I decided to make something on my own!! So here is the final result - salt dough flowers.

I got the recipe from Dr. Sonia's post. After baking them, I colored them using poster colors and applied varnish. But it didn't have a glossy effect. So I thought of applying nail polish!! Yes, you heard it right!! I had an old nail polish in light cream color and that was perfect for my flowers!!

More details on my stick pins will be posted soon!!
