A Case for your Stationery

This is it. This is the pencil case I'm talking about. A dimensions of 20 x 12 cm, big enough to store more than 10 pens, 2 highlighters, an eraser, a marker and a stapler. 


As usual, geometry motives for my husband, I chose circles to represents the earth (I know, I know earth is sphere), and I did it in a colorful way, hence the fancy look. A green background is dedicated to our source of oxygen, the refreshing trees and forests. 

I think it is really worth it to stitch those 20 colorful circles (what a relieve!), because it ended up very nice, indeed (puji diri sendiri). Hehe..


Well, sharing is caring!

A Handphone Case Made with Love

My husband was my first customer. He wanted a case for his new phone. He designed the case himself and chose his own color. Light chocolate as the background, blue, red and grey as the geometry motives.


I decided to use felt paper. I did some serious patching. Mata dah naik juling, nak muntah pun ada gak. Hehe.. But for the sake of love (poyo), I've done it!! 


Check this out:

Doesn't it looked gorgeous? I put the stripe cotton fabric as the inner layer to cover the messy patching thread. Patching those red-blue-grey pieces just drove me crazy. It is fortunate that I was blessed with patience and skills. Huhu..


I'm glad my hubby likes it. I mean, a lot!! And it just made me even happier to see him slide the handphone in and out from the case, several times. I can see he was as excited as I am. 


My iPod case is next.


Thanks for reading.. Sharing is caring, indeed!

My Very Own Sling Bag

It was my first attempt. Two nights of light sleep and I nailed it! (nak buat siang, tapi Balqis kacau. Hehe)

It is designed specifically to fit only the purse and mobile phone of mine. Nothing more..

Ok lah kan for first attempt. Lain kali buat maybe boleh lagi cantek kot. Huhu.. I still have a lot to learn though.. 

Recycle: Aluminium Candle Container as Picture Holder

When the light is out, candle is the first things that come across your mind, right? (or is it torchlight? hahaha).. Light the candle. When the wax is out, light out, aluminium container empty. Actually, you can do something with this wasted containers, as a picture holder!! 

Two slits are all that it takes! Cut both ends of the container (estimate your width of your picture). Don't go too big or your picture will fall..

You can insert two pictures at the same time. In front and at the back. 

Alternatively, I also slipped my old-become-new mirror. The broken mirror was from my make-up box and I gave it a new kitten frame, appreciating the love for cats of my little girl. 

There you have it.. What a great way to recycle, huh?

Happy trying y'all!! Sharing is caring!

Got Excess Fabrics?

Orang melayu cakap kain perca. Omputih cakap excess fabrics.

I got some excess after I was done with my notice board and my so-called wall art. I gave my dull cushion a brand new look, but unfortunately I can only managed to sew one. X cukup kain la pulak. Kain perca la katakan. I also made a table runner for my TV bench. I do not have a sewing machine (soon will have) so I stitched along the parameter so that it did not look messy. I used embossed thread to give an impact on the stitching.

Check it out:

Other than that, place mats and wall pocket would be awesome too (already in my soon-to-do list)!!

Got any more ideas? share with me..

An idea for DIY Wall Art

Didn't I mentioned about a wall art in 'Jom Buat Notice Board'?


Let's start!


Do you have a cardboard or recycled box? Don't throw. Go buy an abstract fabric that catch your eyes. Measure the desired dimensions of your wall art, cut the fabrics and box according to the determined measure. Use stapler or strong glue to paste the fabrics onto the box. Hang (I just used double sided-tape to stick them onto the bare wall). 


And Wallaaaaa!!!

You can always separate the features into 2,3,4 or just one big great piece of wall art!

Jom Buat Notice Board!!

Ever wonder what to put on the wall of your work desk?? Can everybody in the house saw the reminder/notes I put on the desk? Well my friends, a reminder is clearly visible if you stick it on the wall, but where? People always stick them on their notice board, arghhhh I don't have one *sobbing*!!


Why don't you make one on your own? Jimat kan?? 4 easy steps and your wall will has a different new look!! Let's make the space usable. Check it out! 

1) Prepare all the stuffs you need.

2) Cut the board and the fabric according to your desired dimension (psss.. you might need a pencil & ruler to measure)

3) Stick the fabric onto the board using tape and staple (jangan lupe, tarik tegang2, kalu kendur x cantik)

4) Done!! Up to you nak gantung vertically or horizontally. Senang kan....

This idea came up after staring (for quite a while) at the boxes in my store room. "What can I do with boxes?", mumbling alone. I just bought a new work desk and there is no shelf what-so-ever on the wall so it looked blank, empty. Hmm what about a notice board? I got all the things I needed at home. Thus the work began. Less than 30 minutes, the wall seemed to be very useful and I was excitedly fill the board with pictures  and notes. 

Alternatively, it doesn't have to be a notice board alone. Why don't you use an abstract fabric, there, you now have a nice interior for your living room. Isn't it great? How much does a picture cost to be compared to your D.I.Y picture? Lalalala~~ 

Happy trying!! Sharing is caring.
