DIY Pongal craft with straw, paper and paints

Blog DIY sugarcane Paper craft Pot painting showcase Straw craft

First and foremost, here's Happy Pongal wishes from both of us. This post was never intended, but the simplicity of the idea behind this DIY was so alluring, that we had to share it here. This little Pongal pot and the sugarcane was a gift from our Aunt Mrs.Kalyani Shankar when she visited us yesterday. The photo is self explanatory and hence we are going to leave you with the picture.

A straw, colored paper and acrylic colors - It came in as amazing for us because we would never have thought of it. And what more, the pot even had yummy Pongal for us to relish. Well, unlike the sugarcane, the Pongal in the pot is real :)

Warli Pot Painting

All Blog Painting Pot painting Warli

Though, when I bought the terracotta pot, I had intentions of adding color to it, I had not planned on anything particular. I first painted the whole pot red (oil paint) and when I was looking for designs to complete the look I desired, I chanced upon Warli painting at Coloursdekor.

It seemed simple, and yet very charming. After a little bit of research and reading up, I decided to do the Warli for my waiting-to-be-finished pot. The activity, besides being lots of fun, also ended up giving my pot a really chic look. Considering it is made using very simple shapes, it is most certainly something everyone should give a shot at. Now am happy to move my pot from the balcony, right into the living room where everyone can see it.
