Wicker baskets make everything look better- from s Wicker baskets make everything look better- from simple flowers to mundane storage. So to debut our summer content, we thought it's only apt that we kick-start it all with our most beloved wicker baskets in #paidpartnership with @daisylife.in
.
Display flowers, store kitchen towels, stash away toys or lug them with you when you're out shopping- wicker baskets are just about the best thing invented, even before bread. Plus you get that french farmhouse feels for free. Wanna see how I do it?

On my reels, all of the above in action.

The cold brews give me as much happiness as the piping hot concoction and I'm looking forward to a very hydrated summer to say the least.

#FavouriteThisWeek Glass and summer are made for e #FavouriteThisWeek Glass and summer are made for each other and nothing compares to the soft glint of glass under a canopy of tress with a balmy sun peeking through; or under a blanket of fairy lights & the night sky! And as February comes to an end, I think it's perfect time to give you all a list of my favourite glassware to celebrate the great Indian summer.
.
This time around I have also created shoppable links for you all in my blog so you can just click on the + sign and buy directly.
.
This also lists glassware from @_glass_forest_ only because I have used their products for over two years now & have found them to be the best when it comes to beautiful, real coloured glass. Most of the tinted glass you get uses film on top which eventually wears off, not to mention, one never gets the colour and design of one's choice. Here you do.

Firstly, I hope you all enjoy this video! It's rather long but you can always skip to the part you need to see! As a photo enthusiast and a professional interior and product photographer I always need props and what better way to get the best props than making it yourself. 
Secondly here are a few things you need to make Jack-O'-Lanterns with air drying clay
Air Drying Clay 1 package. I used Monte Marte and its the best. Available on Amazon.
Cling wrap
A plastic ball or crumpled aluminium foil
A sharp exacto knife
A flat, clean surface (I use a marble slab) to work on
Lots of patience. 
The rest is in the video. 

After 3 days, you can also colour it with a colour of your choice or keep as is, as I have! 

For more updates on what we do, our store and for ideas, you can follow us on www.instagram.com/trumatter

Update: use crumpled aluminium foil as opposed to plastic ball. Dries faster. No cracks. 

Mini pumpkins and gourds look beautiful as autumn decor but unfortunately in our climate (Mumbai) they don't stand a chance outside the fridge. There are faux ones available but they come with a hefty shipping. So we decided to make them. And can I say that they look absolutely kawai! 
Here's the step by step tutorial of DIY mini pumpkins and I assure you you'll love it!
