The internet is abuzz with posts displaying how people can create stunning artworks from ordinary items, serving as evidence of human creativity. The transformation of tissue paper into a traditional Indian flower garland, known as gajra, is one of the feats accomplished by netizens, both positively and negatively
.A video featuring a fashion blogger making spooky gajra from tissue paper has gone viral, with over 1 million views. The blogger uses a tissue box to delicately manipulate the sheets, shaping them into flower buds. With a touch of life, she paints the stems green to add colour and make them look more realistic. The blogger threads the tissue paper buds onto a string and then blends them into ‘a beautiful gajra’ as the tutorial progresses.
The handmade creation is adorned with tissue paper, and she adds a touch of elegance and flair to it. Popular fashion blogger Tanya Singh, who uploaded the video to his Instagram @itistanyasingh, gained widespread attention due to its innovative and creative content. The post has received over 400,000 likes and generated numerous responses from social media users since its release. Many people praised the blogger’s innovation and craftsmanship.
Users were quick to comment on the post, praising the dedication and creativity displayed. An Instagram user commented, “That’s such a great idea”; another added: “Wow, this is amazing. Others praised the blogger for her sense of being different and quirky. “You do an excellent job,” stated a user, echoing the admiration of numerous impressed observers. Commenters expressed their gratitude for the blogger’s creative use of materials. “Your creativity is inspiring me,” exclaimed an admirer, encapsulating the current state of mind.
Despite the cheers, some voices emerged in opposition to the practicality and justification of such initiatives. Some spectators dismissed the idea of attempting the DIY project as time-wasting and suggested purchasing pre-made gajras. A skeptic expressed: ‘Who will do this hard work, better to buy and use – what are you doing here’ Other people were also skeptical about the value of handmade pieces.
The video that went viral showcases the potential for unlimited creativity and resourcefulness of individuals, demonstrating how materials can be transformed into beautiful objects. The gajra, a tissue paper-made object, is both an inspiration and repulsion to inspire viewers to express their own creativity.
