Quilled Name Plate - Angak

This is another quilled name plate that I made on order recently. Since it is for a boy, the color palette is mainly blue. I didn't want to keep it simple and straight forward so I have overlapped the alphabets and arranged in this manner.

The work is this name plate is very minute and it took me more time to create this as compared to other one I made for NAVIKA.

Quilled Name Plate - NAVIKA

Hi friends! I am very excited to share this Quilled Name Plate that I made on order. I had very little time in hand to finish this owing to work and festivities, but I am glad I could deliver it on time.

Though I have made many Name plates for kids in past, this was my first quilled name plate for a kid. I had made one quilled name plate for a couple using bee hive technique. But I have tried this type of quilling technique for the first time. I would like to thank few bloggers whose work inspired me.

• Yulia for this type of quilling technique
• Pritesh for the daisy flowers
• Miyyah for the roses in this post and leaves from this post

So here goes the Quilled Name Plate for baby Navika.

Quilled Name Plate

Hi. I made this name plate on order. The color theme suggested was Red and Gold and the technique required was quilling with beehive. I have used 2 shades of red. Not sure if its visible through this picture. One of the WIP photo below shows it well. I have not incorporated too much design into this so that the names can be read clearly. I used a handmade paper from a local shop for the base. I painted it with bronze and golden paint to make the texture stand out and I really liked how it enhanced the overall look.

 A look at some work-in-progress images.

Do you see the difference in the bg color here. The bright bronze and gold makes it stand out.

This is my first attempt at a quilled name plate. Do let me know your frank feedback on this.

Edited: Thanks for your feedback friends. No, this is not my handwriting. I took a print out and traced it on paper as printing on handmade paper is not possible.

Kids Name Plate - Samarjeet

This is the other name plate that I made on order for my friend's son. The other one made for her niece can be seen here. For all Kids Name Plates that I have made till now, please click here.

I also have a detailed tutorial on 'How to make Name plates for Kids'.

The theme of this name plate is 'Mickey and Friends' since these are Samar's fav cartoon characters.

 The alphabets,  flowers, stars and balloons are all hand-cut. I have used lots of cartoon stickers and small star stickers.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great day.

Kids Name Plate - Pearl

This is one post I have been itching to share for a long time. I had made 2 name plates on order for my friend's son and niece.

This is the one I made for the girl. The one I made for the boy can be seen here. For all Kids Name Plates that I have made till now, please click here.

I also have a detailed tutorial on 'How to make Name plates for Kids'.

The theme for this name plate is mermaids and flowers since Pearl loves them. I have made it really bright so that the kid's room looks colorful.

 The alphabets are hand-cut. For the flowers I have used jumbo daisy punch. It is big enough to punch through these glitter foam sheets. The leaves are again hand-cut since I didn't have that big a punch for leaves and I also did not want all leaves to be same size.

I am happy with the whole look of the name plate and am glad that Pearl liked it very much!!

Name Plate for Kids

Hi. These are two more name plates that I made on order for 2 sisters. So both had to be alike. Here is the tutorial to make name plates.

Kids Name Plate

Hi All.  Today I am sharing a project that mothers can make along with kids. It is ideal to hang on the child's room door. It can also be used to decorate kids room.

Below is a step by step tutorial on how I made this:

1. To start with, take a piece of card board. This needs to be covered with designer paper. You can take any light colored wrapping paper also. I have used the backing paper which comes with big stickers.

 2. Cut out alphabets of the kid's name in different colors of paper. You may either take pattern papers, plain paper in different colors or sticker alphabets.

 3. Ink the edges of the alphabets using colored ink pads or even a sketch pen would do. This makes the alphabets stand out a bit.

 4. Stick the alphabets on the paper and draw an outline with pencil. Cut along this outline to make the nameplate.

 5. Cut the paper and the card board along the outline and stick them together.

 6. Punch holes on the two top most points of the board and tie a ribbon or string to hang the name plate.

 7. This is how it looks after tying the ribbons.

 8. Decorate the board as desired using stickers, flowers, etc.
