Crochet Crazee: Dangling Handphone Charm?



Actually, I finished making these crocheted dangling handphone charms more than 2 weeks ago but kept forgotten to post about it. Each charm is consisted of 5 cute crochet rings and a Tibetan silver leaf charm. I made these for my sister's friend and she wanted her charms to be colourful. But, because I was addicted in making those cute rings, I made more than she ordered. Hehe... Making craft is just so contagious right? Enjoy~

Felt Craft: Doll Keychain

Flickr is absolutely a place where you can find many creative ideas related to felt craft. Thanks to those creative crafters, I had the chance to steal (muahaha!!!) their ideas and managed to make this doll keychain. I used the cute buttons given by Aziah to embellish the doll. This doll can be made into keychain, brooch or even pendant. Gonna make one for Aziah as the thank you gift~

Aziah reminds me of half covered face with side-swept bangs and lotsa RED n BLACK!!!

DIY : Paper Bunting

When I was posted to my new school, I was assigned with several tasks. One of them is the class teacher of 4 Tekun. As the school term is almost end, the pupils wanted to have a class party. So, I decided to do some decorations for the party. I tried to make some pom poms but they are too time consuming. Then, I opted to make bunting as it is easier and time saving. Plus, it was fun doing it with the helps from your pupils (although it took double of your time than you do it alone).

Things needed:

coloured A4 papers
  • string
  • scissor
  • glue
Instructions:

1. Cut the coloured papers into triangle. Don't forget to leave some tab on the top of your triangle (It is for putting the string through)

2. Print out the wordings according to your desired size and type of font. (I outlined my letters with sharpie so that the line will be thicker and easier to read from far)

3. Front : Then, cut out all the letters and paste it on the triangles.

4. Back : Fold the tab (on the top of triangle) and put some cellophane tape or masking tape. Put the string through your triangle.
P/S: I forgot to snap pic for this step because I was too busy instructing the pupils.

5. Finally, put up your bunting and dont forget to use lotsa and lotsa of tape or your bunting will be ended up like mine. Droopy and kept on falling off.

The pupils wanted to take some pics with the bunting that they made. You can see that it kept on falling off.

Felt Craft: Present for my students

Eventhough I'm really busy lately, I still manage to spend a moment to make my students who got 5As for the final exam present. They always complimented my (cute?)brooches and showed interest. So, I wanted to make something cute and memorable for them. These keychains are really suitable for 10 years old kids. The most important thing is they love it very much!!!

New obsession: Felt brooches

I have to admit it. I'm really really addicted in making small felt brooches. It started when my friend, Aziah requested to make some for her to wear at school. After browsing for ideas and making a few brooches, I just couldn't stop myself. It ended up that I made more than my limitation (ONLY 2 brooches are allowed per week due to busy life at new school). But I'm having fun. It just fills all the emptiness of having to stay here in Kedah (no shopping mall, dominos, McD and more and more). Plus, I even made some for myself and wore them proudly to school!! Some of my students started to notice my brooches and asked about them. Here are some of the brooches. There will be more and more coming~





P/S: Sorry for the low quality of the pictures because I used my phone's camera. Too lazy to find my camera..

Pressie from bestie!!


Yup... Got these cute CUTE cute buttons from my bestie, Aziah. Love it very much!!! I still can't forget her message for me about the buttons, "Use it wisely young padawan". Thanks friend! Gonna treasure the buttons!!!

Sharing is caring : Cheap Button & Thread

I went to a a shop here in Kedah where it sells a lots of plastic wares and other house supplies too. You can find many cheap items including buttons and threads. I grabbed this buttons for only RM2 (20 pcs) and this pack of high quality threads for only rm4.50 (1o colourful threads).

Can you beliveve it? Neither do I. As the result, I came out from the shop grinning satisfied-ly. However, those buttons come in only in dark blue colour. It would be better if they are in pink, purple and green. Sigh...

Felt Craft: Dahlia Brooch

Came across this blog that have tutorial on how to make your own dahlia brooch. I tried as instructed in the tutorial but I have no fabric glue and decided to stitch all the petals instead. It took me about 1 hour to cut all the petals and stitch them on the felt. At the end, my brooch was not perfectly round and a little bit oblong-ish. However, it still beautiful. Why don't you made 1 for yourself today. It will definitely brighten your outfit. Plus, it only cost you less than RM1 and 1/24 of your day. Happy trying~
P/S: I just used some cheap safety pin as the backpin. No one will ever notice it!
