### Key Points

- **Introduction to DIY projects** [00:03] — Making fake plants from old clothes and plastic, aiming for realistic look.

[Music] Today we're going to make trees using old cups, yes, from old clothes and this old plastic.
how I can make trees from these tattered things. This isn't a new thing. Earlier, we had made some plants using waste material that looked absolutely real. So, today too, we'll try our best to make plants that look real. And all the
stuff I'm going to use, you probably have it at home. So home. So let's start the video. First of all, I had a plastic pouch. I do
If you don't have this, Maybe some clothes etc. used in it, so it was of no use anyway. So,
I thought that since it's so dirty and old, I'll make my own craft from it. So, we drew long V-shapes on it and after drawing, we cut all these shapes.  We'll do it.
cut both the corners of the bottom side as well. And the one on the top, I haven't kept it completely pointed so that it doesn't prick anyone. Instead of keeping it pointed, I've made it a little curved. Now you have to cut a lot of shapes like this. I cut about 20 pieces like this,
cut a lot of shapes like this. I cut about 20 pieces like this, Now we have to paint on it. So before painting, I'll sand the surface a little with sandpaper, make it a little rough so that the paint
sticks easily. And here use these only. So first of all, we have to take a dark green color and
apply a layer on it. After one coat, it did n't look that good, so I'm applying two coats on it. [Music]
we'll paint the back side. But you'll see that the color on the back part is there.  It's already looking green because it was a transparent sheet. So, we'll just coat the back side once and it'll be complete. That's what I mean. Now, we don't have to coat it any further.
We just need to set the detailing on it. For which I'm using this light green color. You have to first mix a lot of water in this light green color and then paint. You should n't just pick up the paint and apply it directly,
otherwise, only the paint will be visible; it wo n't look like shading. That's what I [Music] So, we've created this pattern on the front side. We'll repeat the same thing on the back side
You must have understood by looking at it that this is the leaf of a snake plant. So, I'm making a snake plant here. But if you want to make any other plant, you can make it using this process. Now, we have to fold the lower part slightly in this
way. I'll tell you what will happen by folding it like this later. But first, we'll apply a coat of varnish on it so that it doesn't get waterlogged.  etc. so that it does not get spoiled then all our leaves are ready and it looks like I have
really plucked a lot of leaves of snake plant from somewhere but this is not real but it looks exactly like real now to plant all the leaves we pot you
can use any plastic container etc and on top of this I am applying Its Bits chalk paint now I have taken wall putty and we have mixed water in the wall putty and we will put it inside this pot I have put some extra stuff below so that my
wall putty is not wasted much so in today's video all the materials that I have used like chalk paint varnish I have taken all those things from Its Bits so you also want to buy any DIY art and craft product you can buy from here
and let me tell you the best thing if you use my coupon code Mansi05 then you will also get an extra discount of 5% so we had folded the leaves from the bottom so that the wall  So that it can be easily applied in the putty, now when it dries well then we will
see its final look [Sangeet]
So let's start our next DIY, so in the next DIY we are making a silk ant and this one DIY is going to be an experiment, I don't know how it will turn out but I have decided to
try making it, it will turn out good or bad, I don't know at all right now and I do n't even know whether it will turn out or not, so first of all I have cut a paper in this way in a shape like a leaf, it is not even a leaf, I have cut it in whatever shape it is
cut it in whatever shape it is and a thick one, now I am taking a paper and on it we will trace this shape [Sangeet] so we will trace it, after that we will cut it, so this will become a template
and I am mentioning its size here so that you know what size you have to take, you can make it bigger or smaller, there will be no problem, after this I am taking a cloth here, you can use any old cloth,
so I have this  It was green in color, so we should use a color similar to green. Now we will trace this shape. Actually, I saw this idea on a printer, but they were making it in a completely different way. I mean, they were using some other material, some
felt sheet, maybe they used that. And it was turning out quite easily because their material looked exactly like a cactus.
And it was a very hard material. But we are making it out of cloth, so let's see how it turns out. And because this cloth is very thin, it does n't look like it can be made into a cactus. But let's try it. If it's done, then it will be
cactus. But let's try it. If it's done, then it will be n't have to buy anything expensive. The cloth lying around at home will do. So here I have taken two cutouts. We will attach both the cloths together and then we will sew it from the sides. If you
want, you can also sew it by hand, but I have a machine, so I used the machine. don't have a machine, you can do it by hand as well.
when we join these six pieces with the pair of dodos, we will have a total of three pairs ready. Now, I have made small cuts on its sides so that it is easy to fold it inwards. Now, we will turn this cloth over and to turn it over, you
can use a pencil, pen, etc. Now, in the same way, I will turn the other two pieces as well. way, I will turn the other two pieces as well.
three pieces are ready. Now, we will align them properly on top of each other. But these were moving around a lot, so I thought of pinning them up. But I did n't have pins, so I took a needle and secured it from both sides with a needle. I
drew a line in the middle so that we know that we have to sew it through this line. So, sew it from here. You can sew it again by hand as well.
whatever old spare ones I have.  We have taken the clothes that were there and will cut it into small pieces, so you can fill cotton in it, but why should we waste cotton when we have extra clothes, friend? And you can also
use any old cutting etc., do not cut a new cloth and fill it in it, so do not cut a new cloth and fill it in it, so now we will just keep filling all the pieces in it, just like we fill the pillow with cotton and make it puff up, similarly we have to
stuff these clothes in it so that it puffs up completely, so we will not keep it completely empty, so
using this white thread to make the white colored thorns in it, so before this I will keep stitching on all its six sides like this and it will look a little like a thorn and
no pink or red colored flower in the silk, so we will put that on top and again I do not have any idea for this, I have just taken an old cloth and this  It was quite shrunken, so I thought let's take advantage of its shrinkage and
try to give it a flower-like shape. Now this was also an experiment. I do n't know if it will turn out like a flower or not, but let's try it. When we're experimenting so much, let's try one more. But in the end, what I was
afraid of happened. It did n't look that realistic. It looked a bit cartoonish. So I thought let's add some details to it. We ca n't leave it like this, so I
added some more shades of green and added some more thorns, etc., and it started looking a little better. Now we'll make a pot for it too. I had an old plastic container. We'll use that and
we'll use the textured part that comes out from the bottom. To make this pot, I tried my best to make this plant look a little realistic, but I don't know if
it looks real or not, you guys decide. And if it doesn't look real, too. Yes, but I know one thing that it looks very cute in the end, it looked exactly like a cupcake, so you tell me how you feel, if it does
n't look real then tell me that and whether it looks cute or not, that too, the quilling paper that I put inside is completely optional, it looked good to me, so I put it, so let's see the final
look, so which one did you like the most in today's DIY, what to do, like, share, subscribe, do whatever you can and I keep bringing short videos, so let's meet again
