This photo grabs my attention in first look because it looks
beautiful and attractive. The cups and plates are very innovatively used to
make lamps. I loved the way how unused or incomplete set of crockery can be
converted into beautiful cup lights. Drill a hole in the middle of saucer and
cup and paste them together with epoxy glue. Add a cord and fitting to hold the
light bulbs. Lampshades made out of used crockery are ready to be used. They
can be hung in row or unevenly to decorate the house.
I liked the article ‘Make or Break’ very much on the Crafts section of Rewardme. It explains
in detail how unused and incomplete sets of crockery can be used to create wonderful
items like various sizes of cupcake stands, holders to hold jewellery or other
small items, reading lamps etc. The article is written in a very simple
language explaining each and every point in detail. The loveliest décor pieces can be created by
playing with colors and different types of ceramics.
New designer cupcakes or cake stands can be created by
placing the saucers and plates at the base of cups, small bowls and egg cups. Epoxy
glue can be used to glue the pieces together and stay there longer. Silicon
glue or glue gun provides a weaker bonding. The crockery items can be mixed and
match to give a total new look to tea set. Combination of different sizes and
colours can be used to create new pretty stands which can be displayed on your kitchen
shelves.
For creating something innovative out of ceramics they need
to be drilled. It should be done with utmost attention. For that one requires
some practice and patience. A cylindrical diamond bit should be used for
ceramics which usually have a tip through which water can flow to keep the
ceramic item cool. The item should be kept wet wile drilling as it will prolong
the life of ceramic drill. To avoid any slippage, drill a hole on a wooden
block of the same size needed on the ceramic piece and hold the block while drilling.
First drill a small groove and then hold the drill upright and drill the whole
circle. The manufactures guidelines on speed drilling should be followed. Most
importantly be patient while drilling otherwise it will break or crack.
To create the best out of the waste this is the best article!
