Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the cards!

DIY XMAS Cards!

Materials needed:

 Drawing block

 Plastic wrapper/ Book plastic cover/ Zip lock

 Glitter/ Metallic confetti

 Scotch tape

 A pair of scissors

 Glue stick

Buttons

Additional materials:

Pencil

Markers

DIY confetti card:

Fold the drawing block into half.

Then draw a shape on the drawing block using pencil. (I drew a triangle.)

Cut the shape out of the drawing block.

Then make a simple plastic wrap to contain the metallic confetti. (If you have a ziplock, just fill it with the confetti! It is important that the plastic wrap is better than the shape you have cut out!)

Tape the plastic wrap to the drawing block with the shape that has been cut out.

Take a piece of drawing block and paste it over.

I used washi tape to cover the rough edges that has another piece of drawing block.

Then use marker and decorate the cover with the confetti!

I also made a square shape!

DIY Christmas button card:

Then with a black marker to draw lines.

DIY Christmas glittery card:

I drew different sizes of circles using pencil.
Then applied glue stick on the circles.
Next, I poured glitter on the sticky area.

With a black marker, I finally drew lines and outlined the circle!

DIY Washi Tape Christmas card:

If you are a washi tape collector like myself, this is probably possible for you!
I was inspired by the birthday card and decided to add a HOHOHO to make it feels more christmasy~

I was able to finish five cards in an hour! If it is possible for me, I am sure it is also for you!
Let's do more DIY and use all the items we have at home!

It's MARCH!!!

Hi!

TOTORO~ SO CUTE!!!

I can't believe it's already the third of the month!!! Time flies so quickly that it makes me wonder whether I've been spending my time purposefully or not. Well, looking back at how I've been spending my weekends, I can say that I did not waste my time on unnecessary things. AND that's good news! YAY! Now, let's move on to sewing!

Since it's been awhile since I last updated my post, I will be sharing two of my DIYs with you! First up will be the boxy pleated skirt!

I followed my favourite youtuber on how to make the skirt! All you had to do is have your measurements ready!

Click on the link and follow her steps! You won't go wrong! HEHE.

Let's get started!

Materials: Zip, ~2m of fabric, thread and sewing machine

Following Aya's tutorial, I came out with my own pattern!

Time to cut the fabric! Don't forget to fold the fabric into half! You should have two pieces!

 

I used carbon paper to mark out the different points!

From then, I pin the various points to make it boxy!

Sew across the pins!

 Pins both pieces of fabric and sew one side seamline.

 Cut out the waistband.

Attach the waistband and zipper.

Lastly hem the ends!

You are done!!! YAY!

 

 The reason why it looked so crumpled was I just wore this skirt recently and dump it inside my closet. Only realizing that I haven't took a final photo of the skirt! HAHA!!!

 Trust me that the skirt looks so much nicer when it's ironed! HAHAHA!

-END-

Now we will move on to doing DIY using online pattern!

My best friend birthday was yesterday and I made her a top last weekend. HAHA! It only took me less than half of a weekend to finish a top! Since her and me do not have the same body size, I had to find a pattern with her size. So i used the friendly google and found the right pattern for her!

The pattern which I used is currently free! It's from Deer and Doe.

I find her sewing patterns to be really pretty but kinda pricey for me. If you don't mind spending some cash on patterns, you may want to purchase them! HEHE.

The pattern's name is Plantain T-shirt!

Materials: Printer, A4 papers, ~1.5m of fabric, thread and sewing machine

I did not take photos while doing this because I was so focused on making sure I did not screw up afterall it's a birthday present! HAHA. You don't have to worry since the instructions given were clear, you will be able to make it!

 

Do not resize ot rescale when printing since it could affect the size pattern!

 After printing, put the papers to it's respective positions! Once you're done, use tape to secure them!

Cut out the respective patterns.

Pin the patterns on the fabric and cut them.

When it comes to make any top/ dress, it's always the shoulder where you begin sewing!

Now all you have to do is follow the instructions given and you will get yourself a nice T-shirt.

The end product is really pretty so I hope that you will also download the pattern and make it your own! Wishing you all the best! Also thank you so much Deer and Doe for the free pattern! Oh, my friend likes the present! HEHE.

That's all my fellow readers! Till then~
