I am sharing something cute and easy to make for all who love pistachios.
This is a Recycled craft. No need to throw away the pistachio shells. You can make lots of beautiful crafts like lotus, five or six petal flowers, peacock, Wall hangings , Candle holders, Chandeliers, Medallion/Pendant with Pista (Pistachio) shells.
Materials Needed:
- Pistachio (pista) Shells
- Desired color acrylic paints or Permanent markers. I used Nail polish. (Don't use temporary colors as they will wash out).
- Paint Brush
- Craft Glue
- Wooden Standard Star Wood Craft Shape
You simply need to color each of the pistachio shells. Then arrange them like the petals of Lotus flowers from the center of painted Star shape. You can make pistachio flowers in several different colors.
The blank Standard Star shape is cut from very smooth birch plywood and so are very easy to paint , stain or wax. Wooden Standard Wood Craft Shapes are perfect to write on .They are perfect to decorate to make Christmas ornaments and plaques.Also they are a very simple shape and will be useful to both the craftworkers and the cardmakers.
