Hey awesome crafters, we are about to enter the 10^th month of this insane year 2020.

October comes with a bunch of important days. We creative people can too celebrate these days but in our own crafty way.

Here are few festival / seasonal events and craft ideas you can create and post on social media.

We all are aware of the situation around, so lets keep this month crafting simple with easily available art material.

Note: There are other important events too in this month, but here am putting up with few which are easy to interpret through art and craft.

Without further ado, lets get started!

1st October: International Coffee Day

So we begin by celebrating the worlds most popular beverage.

Coffee lovers drink coffee but we crafters prefer painting with it, isn’t it.

COFFEE PAINTING:

This monochromatic art form comes straight from the kitchens most common ingredient, COFFEE.

You can use coffee dust, crushed coffee beans or instant coffee powder to create this beautiful art form.

All you need is canvas board, coffee, water, brushes, 6 small bowls, gold color for highlights.

Mix coffee and water in different ratios to get different color varients of brown. Eg: darkest brown, medium dark brown, medium brown, medium light brown, light brown and pale yellow. Use these to paint your design. Allow to dry for 6 hours and the apply a protective layer of varnish.

Design: Starry Night, Van Gogh

2nd October: Gandhi Jayanti

Most important day in India is Gandhi Jayanti- Birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi aka. Mahatma Gandhi. It reminds us of Gandhijis ideologies- non violence and swadeshi. The charkha or spinning wheel symbolizes Gandhijis constructive policy of self-sufficiency.

Mandala Art:

Here we take opportunity to interpret the charkha in Mandala art form.
