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

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…

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…..
