The highly skilled artisans of Pipli use the "Applique" technique with different base & application layer materials, to create beautiful cloth wall hangings, decorative vases, bags & purses and various other home decor items. This handicraft product from Pipli is a lovely free-hanging, 3-layer "Jhoomar Mandir" shaped décor item. The item can be compressed flat & expanded to full length. It can be used internally as a room décor item and hanging lamp shade. It also serves as an external festive lantern. Hang the item by the cloth loop at the top, on to a suitable vertically or horizontally mounted hook, to leave the item hanging freely. If required, improve the straightness of the "Jhoomar" by pulling gently at the bottom. To use as an interior lamp shade or as an external festive lantern: Pass a wire of suitable length through the top hole, fix a bulb holder with bulb at one end and a socket plug at the other end. Hang the item & adjust the length of the wire inside such that, the bulb is length centered; connect the plug to a socket and switch on the "beauty"! Being a handmade item, no two pieces can be identical and there will be some differences in detail, between the piece you receive and the pictures shown here. The main colours and the overall look & schema will however be the same. This unique, elegant and stunningly beautiful handcrafted item will serve as an excellent addition to your home.
