Pink 3D Flower

My niece was working with his project – a bulletin board for Filipino. What she did is paste a “Pabula” (Fable), handwritten in a bond paper, then pasted on a hot pink cartolina. That’s it! It’s a sore in the eyes honestly.

She’s been asking me to help her with her project for how many days but I was too busy. When I saw it I felt guilty. Mama told me to add some design to at least improve the way it looks.

I admit I’m a little bit demanding with materials if I do a project. But since it’s late at night already, and we only have few materials, then I used the resources that we only have.

I cut the bond paper leaving a few centimeter of the pink cardboard that serve as its border and pasted on a white cardboard. White is universal color; it goes along well with other color.

Then I made several 3D flowers out from the hot pink cardboard and glued in 2 corners of the white cardboard.

I love the simplicity of the outcome!

I know this still needs improvement..

Recycled Notebook

I used recycled notebooks during my high school days. Not that my parents can’t afford, I just opted to used recycled notebook.

My sister, a preschool teacher then, had many used workbooks with no prints at the back of each page. So what I did, I cut the workbooks crosswise, covered with newspaper or old magazine.

I’m not bothered using the recycled notebook. My teachers even appreciated it. If only I knew back then that there’s blogging, then I probably take a pic of it. LOL

Classes had just started. I’m encouraging my nieces to use recycled notebooks. But they hate my idea…. not until they saw my output

So here’s what I did……

Goldilocks Box for the cover:

Not that I’m a big fan of Goldilocks. It’s just that the cakes we usually order are Goldilocks.

Look at the square hole in the middle. I have a pretty idea for this.

At the back of the box, the figure says “RECYCLE”

Few scratch papers from our office…

Size is A4 so I cut into half

And come up with these beautiful recycled notebooks.

I purposely save the hole for the front cover of notebook, so that kids can insert picture.

My niece love it…. and plan to insert Justin Beiber’s pic…. I honestly hate her idea… LOL

More Spoolie Dolls

Last Christmas my niece requested me [again] to make spoolie dolls for her friends. She’s so demanding, that she want to dress up all. But I was so tired that I insist that they are male Spoolie dolls and do not need dress at all. The very reason actually is that making small dresses for these dolls are very tedious…. and I was running out of time.

They look so cute and it seems each doll has its own character though they just look alike.

Relaxing?????

Swaying side by side…

“Help I’m drowning!!!!”

I’m dying….

Cool dude….

Jumping!!!

The only girl among the spoolie dolls

Dish Garden for Mama

Mama asked me to make a dish garden as my gift for her on Mother’s Day (hehe.. this is super late post). She had several cute plants from her colleague who is considered as master in dish garden…. I’m intrigue how his garden looks like, with all the teeny-meeny-miny plants.

I decided to make a park-theme dish garden.

To compliment with the theme I made a bench out from Makin’s Air Dry Clay; combining two colors to achieve a different shade. I used the bronze bead wire as nails. I made the bench 3 days before Mother’s Day, since I still have to let it dry.

The bench

Mama was surprised with the outcome. She totally loves it!

There should be a lamp. But I was running out of time when I made it. Maybe I’ll install the lamp later or perhaps I’ll make another theme park dish garden…

Closer look

Green Rose Jewelry Set

The bracelet. …Got this idea from Show Tell Share Blog through Totally Tutorial.

The set is actually compose of bracelet, pair of earrings and a ring…

But look at my ring? It’s an air dry clay! NOT a food! I already had an idea who's responsible for this… the COCKROACH…

For the sake of pictorial I removed the rose in the bracelet and glue gun in a ring… I HEART the ring…

And a try on…..

Tubular Box

I made another use of the cake boxes. I saw a tubular box pattern in a craft book. Trace it and viola! A tubular box out of cake boxes.

This is ideal wrap for a small gift. Just add embellishment to add beauty on the tubular box….

Black Dangling Earrings

I can’t wait for Monday! I’ve been reserving this post for Monday Meme… It just so happen that the jewelries and other crafts that I created are for Monday memes: Green Monday, Black Monday, and Yellow Mellow Monday. You know I’m addicted to meme recently.

So much for that here’s pair of black earrings that I honestly love and would like to share in Black Monday Meme.

Please bear with the loops… I’m still practicing…

I wore it when I’m in my room. LOL… Yes in my room ONLY! I don’t wear dangling earrings actually. I even consulted my bf if he wants me to wear one. And he said… NO! Hahaha…

Here’s a try on….

BTW, I gave this pair of earrings to my sister as my gift for Mother’s Day...

Yay, I almost forgot! I can link this post to We Did It Wednesday!!!! Yahoo....
