DIY : Carrot Favor

If you went to my sister's wedding, you should get this, if you are a children la. At first, we really wanted to give kids healthy favors. Unfortunately, I can't find any healthier and cheaper choice than this yummy super rings. Alasan.

I love its vibrant orange colour (not healthy juga all those food colouring) and it turned out great as a carrot-look-alike too.

We even made a white carrot. Keropok roda as the filling.

It was so simple to make this cute favor. Maybe you don't even need any tutorial. but...I made a tutorial already. So here, Carrot Favor Tutorial! 

DIY : Wedding Wonders

Assalammualaikum and Happy Sunday everyone..

Just finished cleaning up my room, doing laundry, doing dishes..like a housewife..and all force me to think of wedding.. plus the 'apa artinya cinta' playing on tv :D

The love is in the air.. Numbers of my friends are getting married.. by I mean numbers, I got 3 wedding invitations on the same weekend. Guess what, all the venues is "too close"..kutub utara kutub selatan la kan..

and yes, it is the time that makes me feel like I'm getting older.. Older than when you get birthday wishes. but, it doesn't matter actually, I don't really care. What I'm really concern is the finance!

Base on my experience, I could claim that we tend to splurge on wedding..too much.. too lavish. and I really hate the fact that you have to save tons, just to get married. Marriage shouldn't be a burden.

Why not you just do it yourself? So here what I've been googling..

Invitations

Cakes

Gifts

It's all there, just search and do it.. or ask someone to help kan..
Happy fasting and too bad I'm working tomorrow..

Wishing all muslims, have a great nuzul al-Quran :)

Update: links can be found from my pinterest :) sorry for any inconvenience causes.

Style File : Love Chiffon

Ramadhan is coming..wishing all of you a happy fasting month..the month of blessing! Selamat menyambut Ramadhan :D

p/s: so which one is your favourite?

DIY : Paper Doily

Assalammualaikum and good day everyone! 

اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم

Salam Maulidur Rasul 1433H for all Muslim.. It's already 12 Rabiul Awal.. Let's reminiscing how amazing and important was dakwah Rasulullah s.a.w. in spreading our religion. and merely after a decade, the dakwah shall continue as how it was. Be grateful we are born Muslim..  Amin..

Okay, well...here is a tutorial for making a paper doily!  *insert excitement here* Tadaa..

I was inspired by a tutorial from bloomize.com in making your own paper doily. It can be use as a gift tag, invitation card or name label and it screams effortlessly adorable!

I just can't stop falling in love with paper doily..I love how intricate the pattern is and how adaptable it can be.. Just google up (jangan malas).. there are loads images of paper doily craft. From largest lanterns to smallest jewelleries.. 

So, I hope these pictures show clearly the steps.. :D

Follow first 5 steps from this tutorial by Martha Stewart if you're having difficulty (just like me) to get start..

p/s: While making the paper doily, I was imagining that "Oh my I must getting close to this"... tehehe...

Oh well..If only...

Have a nice day..Happy Weekend! 

DIY : Mason Jar Memories

Salam and hello everyone! 
It's Monday. Happy working :) The first day after a long break of Chinese New Year.. 

For past few weeks, I've been looking for a birthday present.. maybe perfume, shirt or anything that money can buy. However, it was useless..I can't afford anything that sounds meaningful-affordable-yet-look-expensive things..

Thus, with empty pocket and tons of times I have, handmade gift would be the only amazing option left.

Presenting... *drum rolls*

Mason Jar Memories
Rate of difficulty is 2/5.

The hardest part was to do the drawing. Although you don't need impeccable drawing skills, I find that tracing (yes, traced) is quite hard. Well, I mean to get it looks as close as original picture.

Skip it and use photos if you want. 

Here are the steps:

Tadaa..

and pack away..

p/s:
Besides tracing photos on window panel, I just trace photos from laptop instead.
Add transparency sheet behind the paper, to ensure it fixed in place and as a protector I suppose.

10 Surprising Ideas to Make Life Easier : Home

Assalammualaikum and hello!

My first intention in starting this blog was to be informational as I could and share it to the whole world. As far as I know, I am not really close to that intention. Am I? hehehe... So, this is my first entry to share some tips I've stumbled upon. 

This time, it is about home, from organizing, cleaning, decorating and of course, making life easier . So here are the top 10 surprising ideas for your home.

Cord Lables

via : marthastewart.com

Start to keep your bread bag clips and use them to label the look alike power cords. Should be less problem figuring out which power cord you want to turn off.

Scheduling Assistant

via : bhg.com

This is way too cute. Seeing is always believing, right? Using clothes pins represent each day, clip any to-do index card for the day. It is green, reusable and save a lot of times. 

Light Embellishment

via: realsimple.com

Bright up some of your old boring Raya festive lights with this idea. All you need is strand of lights and cupcake liners.

Bamboo Organizer

via : marthastewart.com

Why I didn't think of this before, bamboo steamer could be a cute organizer. I really love this! It is simple yet speaks out ingenious! *Runs searching for one*

Wrappers Storage

Architecture students: no more reasons for untidy room okay. There's always a space for those scattered drawings..or even models, model boards..anything wire could endure. 

Cleaning Ceiling Fan

via: realsimple.com

Trouble cleaning those dusty ceiling fan? No more worries. Cover a fan blade with an old pillowcase and pull it over to wipe.No more dust scattered all over the floor.

Ribbon Dispenser

via: realsimple.com
Works as ribbon dispenser and keeps all ribbon in place.  Again students, might as well works with masking tape, cellophane tape,  duct tape...no excuse for missing tape again.

Matching Sheets

via : marthastewart.com

Just tuck the sheet set inside its pillowcase and cut off time to hunt for lost matching pair. Plus, it is nicer to be seen, it looks like a cute small pillow.

To-do List Board

via: realsimple.com
Instead buying boring blank whiteboard, opt for this stylish picture frame as dry-erase board. Frame any amazing pattern fabric or paper (I'm thinking of doily), you can write your to-do list on the glass. Make sure  you write with non-permanent marker.

Mason Jars Storage

via: clutterhollic.wordpress.com

I love mason jars and I love how easily we can see things inside them. Just put all teeny weeny items inside the jars and you'll be clutter-free, as easy as that. 

Brush Hook

via : blogs.babble.com

Well, is it 10 already?...Oh.. I really need to include this Brush Hook. Always, after hardly trying to soften stiff brushes, I just throw them away. Now, see what an amazing thing they could turn to. Enough said.

Have a happy Thursday..Long weekend awaits..

Oh! I like that // So going to make these..

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone! 

How was your weekend? Must have been awesome! Fun Fun Fun...

I do have formula for a perfect weekend actually.. 

Wake up early + Good food + Long laugh= P E R F E C T 

As long as I got these 3, everything will be fine :D and if it's raining outside..total will be = extra perfect! (I love rainy days, stay at home, cold weather, the smell after rain) ..Now you know, please take me out on weekend and do all the 3 things together!

However, for past 2 days I was obsessed with DIY and been crawling, guling-guling around and hurting my eyes intentionally while browsing for the best DIY..I can't wait to start to make one of these beauties!!

1. shrink button

These button are made from shrink plastic! I didn't know we can actually made buttons ourselves..If only I knew it earlier, I could've been rich by making these cute babies..or I just can start now? hmm...*wink* 

Oh well..and..As a sub for shrink plastic #6 plastic could be use..the one that has a symbol of triangle mark with number 6 inside it. Usually use as container for fruits or sotong kering bergula..heheh...

2.doily lamp

3.jane's doily bowl

Number 2 & 3 are using doily.. I really really really...really love doily. Crochet. Lacy things! It looks complex, refine, delicate and hard to make..Love! Looks like I have to get my mom willingly to give one of hers crochet doily to turn into bowl..hehe...

4.chevron stripe inspired wall stencil

This screams CHIC and VINTAGE! *faint* plus, it's unbelievable easy to be done. Maybe one feature wall shall be great while a whole room painted in this, could make you dizzy I guess.

5.garland

Some ideas to brighten up your room with this colourful garland..or even my blog.. Paartyy! and next time for a Birthday  party, house warming or even Hari Raya I'm going to have one of this garland. (I love the pom-pom!)

6. frosted mason jars

7. floating vase

I've got so many flowers on my graduation day, and it was amazingly beautiful. It wasn't expected by me as I was shaking and nervous to get up on stage (almost crying). End up, I don't have any space to put all those flowers properly. I bet these crafty idea will be the solution. Floating..save up space! and looks like a painting..and painted jars in white..will make the whole look so adorable..and English!

8. high waisted skirt

I just got myself a skirt last month, preloved, mustard yellow, still in good shape and for just RM20..Oh my..How could I resist that? but wait, it's a bit short and I thought meh..wouldn't be a problem :/ To my horror, back at home, it is far too short than I thought..it is just below the knee..I can't figure out how do I wear it..with pants underneath? legging? meh...will make me looks dowdy.. :(

Thus, a big thanks for the invention of high waisted! For making my legs look longer and solved the problem..hehe.. So, all I need is to to add an extension at the waist part..tadaaa..Hello high waisted maxi skirt!

Thanks to the awesome tutorial by Kelly Crawford. It shows how-to-make the high waisted part. The tutorial actually shows how to make a high waisted knee length skirt. Do check it out.

That's all for my second post of the month!! Wehoo..Hope you guys check all those tutorial out.. and post back any projects you've tried..

Good Luck!
