Fun Alternative Ways to Use your Favourite Dhokra Products

Maya is 5 feet and 1 inch tall and she loves cooking. But every now and then she faces a hiccup or two when she has to reach the topmost shelves of her kitchen. Does that mean that every time she runs to her storage room to fetch a ladder? No, of course not! She simply pulls out a chair from the dining table and gets all the spices and ingredients at once. While redecorating her home, she cut up some of her old curtains to make cute table-clothes and even bought some new Dhokra products to make some changes around.

One Product, Two Ways

Us humans are great improvisers. We break the barriers of linear thinking and add a touch of our creative spark to whatever we find. Saw how Maya improvises the products around her house? Here are some other fun ideas and DIYs that you can try out with your favourite Dhokra handcrafted products and be your own artist!

1. Traditional Dhokra Necklaces

www.dhokrahandicrafts.com has the most exotic collection of Dhokra jewellery sets which include exquisite necklaces and matching pairs of earrings. While we have never left a chance to reveal the versatility of these perfect indo-western pieces, let us paint a new picture for you.

Haven’t we all avoided repeating our jewellery in similar crowds? If so, then take a simple Dhokra necklace (preferably with beads and without large pendants) and wrap it around your wrist. That is it. You just created an all new bohemian bracelet which matches perfectly with all your attires and we can assure you that no one will know! The long and elegant Dhokra Destiny Avanti Set is our top choice for this hack.

2. Dhokra Elephant Small

Animal showpieces around the house are not only meaningful but also perfect for a traditional and royal touch. This small Dhokra showpiece is the perfect expression of strength, glory and majesty. However, if you feel bored of watching this little elephant sitting around your house and being covered by dust, here’s a change of scenario.

The small length, height and width (13 X 9.5 X 7.5 cm) along with the perfect weight of 361 grams, makes the Dhokra elephant a perfect choice for a paper weight. Imagine the mighty little elephant holding down piles of paper while you are hard at work. It gives the most elegant and stylish touch to your work area while being useful at the same time. Time to get them off the shelves!

3. Dhokra Lakshmi Pen Stand

The beautiful Dhokra pen stand is one of the most timeless pieces offered by www.dhokrahandicrafts.com. It is the perfect accessory for a workstation or side table. The intricately carved pen stand is also considered to be auspicious and a perfect representation of Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings.

What if we tell you that instead of using it as a pen stand, you could grow a life in it? You hear it right. If you want to do a little DIY session or love nature, get some soil and use this perfectly sized pen stand as a planter. Since it is medium sized, you easily place a small potted plant in it and later transfer the sapling when it grows up. Make your surroundings an abode of greenery and nature with this unique idea!

Imagine more Innovations

Dhokra is a very sustainable art but when we add some creativity and craft into it, it becomes even better. Tribal artists have been stepping up their designs and ideas to match the requirements of the current generation. They have introduced a host of new utility products in this century. So let us also match steps with them and be innovative in using these products. Get your creative gears turning and share with us how you plan on giving alternative functionality to your favorite Dhokra product.
