Cost: $12.90

DIY method:

Ahhh, this one, it might be easier to buy it instead of making it because it require quite a lot of items. But the satisfaction of making your your jewellery is ever so exciting. So here goes, attach jump rings to feather charms, bead and charms altnerate on a beading wire or thread, crimp with the end thingie, attach jump ring, attach chain and clasp. When attaching the beads to wire, use two strands of wire so you can have the second tier.

Cost: S$8.50

DIY method:

Five elastics of different colour and similar length, thread in the golden beads and charms, close the ends with the crimps, attach the five strand together by attaching crimps in random places to add to the design and make it into a single bracelet. Clever idea. I really like this.

5 cool DIYs to try.....#5

Well, it has been a reallyyyy long time since I did a post of thing I wanna try huh? Blame Pinterest. I just pin everything to keep it in mind. But then, there are just some that are on your most wanted list right? Haha. These are on mine!

I really really really LOVE this! Looks so good and easy. But....my dad does not wear striped polo tee, and neither do I. Looks like I will have to try this with a plain tee! I need to raid my father's wardrobe. Haha.

This is so awesome and cute, I am so totally making this! I need the correct coloured yarn and thread though. Sigh. I have too many novelty/funky yarns at home.

Definitely making this. But I need to get my cotton yarn from Guangzhou first. Imagine wearing this in Singapore if it was made from wool.

Wrapping a present and need something to jazz it up? This is the best idea ever because you can just use the  wrapping paper left from wrapping the present! Cool right!

Nice right! I just need the inner string to make one of these. God know I have too many skeins of embroidery thread at home ;D

Okay, that's all for today. You know, almost all these are from my Pinterest account because I already saved everything there! Ciao!

Rebecca :D (eating korean ramen at 10.30 pm is not good for my belly, but I am doing it anyways. NO WONDER I am getting rounder. What happened to self-control?)

5 Cool DIYs I wanna try! #4

Well. I have been unbelievably studious lately. It is so tiring:( My conclusion is that I am not very productive at studying. If only we can apply international trade here. Then Apphia can be the brains, I can be the wittiness and we can exchange by brain diffusion. Of course, This will only be able to happen in my dreams. Anyway, Since I do not have the time to craft, I console myself by looking for things I can craft when 1st December comes. I am scared and excited. There are only 100 days more till As. I am so not prepared. So I shall not talk more and list down those cool DIYs so I will be able to get back to studying:/

This is so cute. A little time consuming though.

I love the look of this. It is a little classy. It reminds me of little girls in frocks. They usually wear headbands like these.

I had the ugly version of this when I was younger. Wish I had this instead. I would want little rabbit on it(something Sailormoon wold have)

I have an idea for this, not exactly the same, but using this technique. It will involve crochet.

http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/06/repurposing-tshirts-into-5-strand-braided-headbands.html

I have to admit. I tried making this, but because the shirt material, my inexperience and my "professionistism", it was pretty much a disaster. So till I get a new shirt to play with, this will be on my list of DIYs to try.

Yupyup, so that is all for now. Ciao!
