Paper Rosette for Christmas Occasion

Hi everyone

Been neglecting my crafty space here. I was totally active in Facebook.

What I am upto? I just did a paper rosette yesterday for a Christmas occasion.

I used patterned paper from wrapping paper. The diameter = 4cm. Width of folding is 1cm.

Have fun!

My Craft Room

Hi everyone

Yeah, my first ever time to share my craft room over the blog. Been sharing my craft room idea over Facebook since last year. My craft room a.k.a. also my very own bed room. Having a limited space but able to manage a small little space of my craft haven.

What actually I did was I bought all my supplies from local store. Mix & match.

The most recent was I bought a white lack from Ikea. Drill the holes by myself & of course, with my brother help as this round the lack is larger.

Getting ready to drill holes. Laying newspaper around for easy cleaning.

Ta da.... My new lack with my mini table.


The decoration part really took times as I kept on changing the arrangement until now. Hmmm.... Crafters loves to stock up right? Teeehhehehee....

Above 2 pictures was after the mini renovation. I love it so much. It looks much cleaner & bigger space with white lack & grey table. I have the other section (well, on the left side) with oak / teal color. So it looks kinda messy. (-_-)"

Above 2 pictures are my latest revamp.

That's all for my craft room.

Cherio!

An Altered Matchbox

Recently I have entered a swap project, "An Altered Matchbox" organized by Craftmate Store.

My very first time not creating card but a matchbox.
Since I do not have any matchbox, I google around for a matchbox template. There are varieties of them. So, I have no worries of not having a matchbox.

 Here is the picture of matchbox without the decoration. I made 2 of them. Then stick them together.

Ta da.... Here is the complete project. I am satisfy with the decoration.

What are the recipes?

I added cheese cloth, vintage button, butterfly button, roses & glitter glue on each of them except the cheese cloth for the decoration. I used pattern paper for the matchbox body. The "drawers", I used washi tape & brads.

This is for my assigned partner (photo courtesy from my partner).

So, what I received from my partner was....
 

It was a nice swap project with my partner. Thank you so much for the gifts.

Cherio!
