Gift Wrap with Batik Paper and Kanzashi Flower

What do you think about my gift wrap? Or do you interested what inside? Hehehe… ^_^

Yeah, this is one of doorstoppers in my house and of course the inside is wood, a hard and heavy one called ulin (Ulin Wood). It’s a good quality wood that really really expensive now. If I’m not wrong this ulin that we use as doorstopper is as old as my house, because this piece of wood was leftover when this house built. If you ever read my blogpost about 2 years ago (when I’m still a beginner in craft and blog), I ever made a felt cake that I call cheese cake (if I’m not wrong, I’m too lazy the recheck it). It’s the doorstopper that I remake. I remake it because it got dirty.

I just do simple thing to cover this doorstopper. I use paper gift with batik pattern, gold ribbon, bead, shir fabric to make kanzashi flower, tape, and glue. I choose warm colours because I like it. Hehehe… ^_^

Sweet and Dark Kanzashi Series

Hello, good Wednesday morning everyone! What a good date today, December 11^th 2013 (11-12-13). Hehehe… :p

Alright, I make another kanzashi series again. The name is Sweet and Dark Kanzashi Series. I call it like that because the colours that I use this time are pink, white, black, and gray. I inspirated by Lolita fashion, sweet and gothic Lolita. I love both of it, so when I got black fabric (I already have pink, white, and gray), I decided to make sweet and dark kanzashi, two opposite colours. Hehehe… ^_^

Foxy Apron

Good Saturday morning and happy weekend everyone! ^_^

Today I will write about my newest apron that I made yesterday. Yeah, yesterday and actually it finished just about some hours. Friday morning I cut felt to make the fox and flowers applique. After I take a bath then I handsew the applique. Actually I handsew all of it because I don’t brave enough to sew jeans with sewing machine. I’m afraid the machine will be broken.

Okay, this is the stuff I use. You can see it by yourself. If you read my previous blogpost you will notice that this is the second apron that I made to upcycle jeans. But there are some differences between them. You can see, this is my second jeans apron

And this is my frist one.

I really love the fox. Hehehe… ^_^

Coral Kanzashi Series : Plum, Chrysanthemum, and Peony

Good evening everyone! ^o^

I just take my bath, then praying Maghrib, and now I laying lazily on my bed, turn on my fan and wait my long hair dry while I write this blogpost. What a wonderful evening (for me)! Hehehe… ^o^

Okay, look at my newest kanzashi flowers. Aren’t they pretty? Hehehe… ^_^

Yeah, this time I make some kanzashi flowers with coral colour. I just fallin in love with this colour when I went to a fabric shop then bought it without thinking anymore. Actually I bought 3 colours (all of them I use when I make these kanzashi flowers), that is coral, leaf green, and broken white. I just think how about I make some kanzashi flowers with this colours, and this is it, my coral kanzashi series!

Wisteria Kanzashi

Finally I make it! Wisteria of Fuji Blossom Kanzashi. Actually I don’t brave enough to make wisteria or fuji blossom kanzashi because I never see the real flower by my own eyes, so I don’t know the real shape of it. Beside that, I also do not have proper stuff to make that kind of kanzashi. But yesterday, suddenly I depressed. I usually became really brave if I stress or depress. I just take my scissor then cut the fabrics.

Felt Pouches

If you think I’m the one who make these cute felt pouches, then you’re absolutely wrong. Because the one who make these was my mom. Lately she loves make pouches from felt.

One day, she want a very simple pouch that similar to her old pouch that she usually bring to traditional market. Then she told me that she wants to make a felt pouch that the colours similar to my pouch (you can read my blogpost about my strawberry felt pouch). She take broken white and pink felt from my craft storage (because I use broken white and dirty pink on my strawberry pouch), but I told her to change pink with orchid (soft purple). She agree then she design and sew the pouch by herself.

The first felt pouch that she made was very cute. She loves combination between broken white and purple.

Cutie and Pouty Jars

Look at my newest felt dolls! Aren’t they cute? Hehehe… ^_^

I call them Cutie and Pouty Jars because I make them in shape of jars with faces. I inspirated by pattern on my pajama (Weird? Yeah, I know). Actually the pattern on my pajama is long jar with smile face and has written ‘Sugar’ on the bottom. So, I decided to make jar felt doll with faces.
