Reading Corner

Hello,

For me, decoration is very tough work. It's tiring especially in making decision, on the design and furniture selection. I would say that my home decoration is simple, but it's tooooo simple and booooooring. So, decoration is not my field. I wish I have large money so that I can hire any professional to decorate my house.

Anyway, there is one area in my house that quite empty. I'm thinking of to turn that area to become a reading section. The style is either Option A or Option B. Option A is my favourite as it's simple, modern and colorful. Option B is a mature part of me. It's still simple, but there's some classy and vintage elements.

Hurm, which one?

Tutorial: Fabric Flower

Hello, 

Today I wanted to share step by step on how to sew a fabric flower. Of course you can find more tutorials online but I did like to have one too at this blog :) Well, I love it so much and it is an easy diy. So girls, do it on your own!

You can use this fabric flower in many ways such as; as a brooch, embellishment for craft project, key chain, headband and so on.

What you need:-

• A round card stock
• Pencil
• Scissor
• Fabric (this time I'm using cotton fabric)
• Sewing needle and thread
• Beads
• Brooch pin

Step by step:-

1. Prepare a round pattern with a card stock. You can also replace it with any round objects such as glass, mug and bottle cap.

2. Trace the pattern to your fabric and cut it properly. We need 8 pieces to make this fabric flower beautifully.

 3. Take one piece of the circles and fold it in half.

4. Then fold it again in half.

 5. Sew your four circles like this. Another option is to glue it on another base fabric but I prefer sewing.

 6. Add the second layer to create volumes. The second layer does not necessarily arranged in the same position as the first layer.

 7. Add beads at the center of the flower. You can replace it with any embellishment, button or ribbon.

8. Sew brooch pin at the back of the flower.

Tadaaaaa. It's done :)

Super easy diy for you!

DIY Craft Mustache Tutorials

Hello,

Do you notice that recently, there are lots of craft projects/ props that use mustache pattern. It's cool right?! Nevertheless, I see that the use of mustache pattern in Malaysia (as what I come across) is limited either a mustache stick for props or mustache on a necklaces. Thus, I wonder, what more we can do and here are my findings :)
