At-home version of block-print wrapping cloth, featuring on-theme diya motifs. Simple, sustainable, and stylish—it will surely bring smiles to their faces. What do you need? • Potatoes (2-3) • Fabric colours (Brown, orange, and red) • Knife • Thread or twine (2 metres) • Neutral fabric (based on the gift size) How to make it? • Step 1: Cut the fabric according to the size of your gift and lay it flat on a newspaper for the block-printing process. • Step 2: Cut the potato in half. Use one portion to make diyas, and carve the other half in the shape of the flame. • Step 3: Press the diya portion first at regular intervals to create a pattern. You can also experiment with colours of your choice. Use orange and red colours for the flame block and press on the fabric to complete the pattern. • Step 4: Let it dry for a couple of hours. You can also add some glitter or a golden embroidered lace for a more festive look. • Step 5: Tie your gift-wrapping cloth around the gift and secure it with a twine to finish the wrapping process.

Or are you one of those people who vow to make one each year but just aren’t able to find the time between all the chores around the house? We have come up with a crafty solution that will help you to complete it within minutes. Follow these simple steps to create a stencil that will save your precious time. What do you need? • Thick chart paper (1 sheet) • Pencil • Scissors • Colours and flowers (as per your preference) How to make it? • Step 1: Cut your chart paper into a square shape, based on the size of rangoli you prefer. Fold it diagonally twice. • Step 2: Use a pencil to create semi circles on the two shorter sides of the triangles. You can also add a diamond-shaped design in the middle of the triangle for a more-detailed look. Make sure to leave the centre of the triangle intact, so that the floral design opens up gently post cutting. • Step 3: Cut-out the semi-circles and diamond-shaped designs you have just created. The folded paper would help in symmetry of the design when unfolded. • Step 4: Lay it out on the ground. Lightly use double-sided tape to keep it in place and add your colours and flowers to create a contrasting design. Carefully lift-up the stencil to see your beautiful rangoli design come to life.

About Company:- I've always had a special connection to the many coastal shores that surround us and ever since I was little, I always imagined one day owning my own apparel line. Over this past summer of 2023, as I was sitting on the shores of the Coastal Carolinas thinking about whether it was too late to try and bring my childhood dream to life, I remember something I heard that stuck with me along the way, “life is a journey”, and in that moment, I thought why not combine the loves of my life: Apparel, Coastal Beach Vibes and of course, the Journey. S0, on that day, Coastal Journeyz was born! After many design ideas, attempts good and bad, I finally felt my vision was ready to share with all of you. I wanted Coastal Journeyz designs to not just be any ordinary beach apparel you see on the shelf at the beach stores or racks but rather something unique blending retro and vintage styles together to create something I think we can all connect to in some way. That all said, thank you for taking the Journey with me and checking out my product lines. I hope you love the designs as much as I have, and I look forward to continuing to design and develop new products and continue to grow the Coastal Journeyz family.
