Where everything is handmade…
Things were running smoothly lately even though I was pressing time in juggling work, social life and exercise all the same every week. Up until yesterday when I was having my usual morning routine… Set up my workspace, ordered coffee from Yellow Hauz, multi-tasking on my laptop (designing, browsing, answering emails, downloading, etc.) while drinking coffee… …
I bet, if you enjoy reading my blog, you probably own a washi tape at least one {dozen?} Almost all hoarders, I mean crafters {smirking} own a lot of craft materials and washi tapes are one of our favourites. I’ve pinned few christmas gift wrapping ideas over Pinterest but I will always go back to the simple, classic and …
Once again, it’s the time of the year when you have to sit and jot down your christmas gift lists. This is best with hot chocolate or in my case, a cup of latté on the side to make my brain work and not to forget anyone… If you’re like me, who needs to list down every …
As always, I’m in a panic mode in doing my christmas gift shopping. I haven’t started nor made my lists yet. And I’m a bit OC when it comes to this. I want an organized checklist. Thus, I came up with a printable christmas list for gifts and cards you’d like to send out. If you’re …
I have to say, gift wrapping is really not my thing, despite I love packages. Anyway, since this season, I’m experiencing a little financial crisis, I’ve thought of something handmade, less costly and yet still crafty for my gifts and gift wraps. Manila paper has been one of my favorite materials in gift wrapping, even …
I know it’s hard to do mostly everything in this busy season. I don’t know about you but regardless the busy mode, I still want to wrap my own gifts and be creative about it. There’s so many overwhelming ideas over pinterest about gift wrapping but here’s one from Sweet as a Candy, who shares a video tutorial …
I enjoy gifts that you can still create something from it. Do you still remember DIY Hot Chocolate? I love that idea so much. But guess what? Here’s another kit that you can enjoy making as a gift, specially to your mommy friends with kids who love ice cream {but who doesn’t love ice cream, …
So sorry for the lost of update… my days fly so fast I can’t catch up with it… but I’ll be keeping up with the post for the Christmas Handmade Craft. One dilemma we occur during gift wrapping is boxes. It’s so hard to find a box than can fit our gifts. Luckily, Sarah of Create …
One thing I haven’t tried yet is to sew. Seriously, I find it weird because our family knows how to sew. From my grandma to aunts, mom and even my late dad. I do know how to use the needle and thread but never tried the sewing machine yet. Thankfully, Emily of Jones Design Company has …
Not all gifts can be wrapped or boxed, right? So, if you have some gift certificates or small notecards, pair it with a DIY envelope instead. Emily Pitts, one of the designers of Simple Stories has a cute tutorial on how you can make a simple and cute envelope. Image from Simple Stories I’m sure, whoever will receive an envelope …
I thought I’d share my version of the DIY Christmas Tree I posted last time. I was lucky to have a large format printer so I was able to make the size bigger than A4. I printed 2-designs and placed it in my studio. And the other one in Yellow Hauz. If you want these …
What I love about handmade is you can feel how special the gift was made. No matter how simple and not so expensive, you can always see so much effort and love with it. Well here’s a nice thought if you’re still looking for a DIY holiday gift idea… who can ever resist a hot …
It’s time to think of a new christmas tree theme for this holiday season. It doesn’t need to be extravagant nor expensive but a new good look can surely bring a different feel to your home. Normally, we use big trees to decorate our houses. However, if you’re living in a small space, a big tree may …
It’s my favourite time again… Christmas season! And that means I can do some gift wrapping again. Boy! I love wrapping gifts, that’s why I started making my own gift wrapper kit. Not only, I like to embellish it, I also like to customise the wrapper itself. I normally like using my black and white gift …
Christmas came early for me this year… I’ve been keeping this for weeks now and I cannot contain my excitement… It took me awhile to get a hold of it and I didn’t have a solid idea on what kind of DIY project I’ll be making for this opportunity. But slowly, inspiration kicked in and now it’s …
