Link: Braided Bracelet Tutorial

I posted this link on my Tumblr craft blog and people are crazy over it. So I thought maybe I should put it here too. You can actually make this friendship bracelet look-alike using various different materials like fabric scraps, leather strands and even ... embroidery threads?


I'm totally gonna try this sometime. 


What about you?

FO: Put a Ring on It (Pearls and Diamonds Ring)

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh... *humming Beyonce's hit song...

I finally got the chance to post pictures of this Pearls and Diamonds ring! I got the tiny ring pack from Spotlight quite a while ago. It was in the SALE basket and had a reduced price of $1!!! What a steal!!!

As you can see from the pictures above, the pack comes with everything you need to complete the ring. There are even instructions for it! But I personally think that the instructions are crap. Either that or I just couldn't do it accordingly. So I thought to myself, "Screw that, I'll just do it my own way." I'm glad that I did. I even have some beads left over! And of course I'm keeping them for possible future projects.


Sorry about all these blur pictures. There are 2 reasons for this. Firstly, I can't be very stable with my hand, especially when I could only use one of them since the other one is posing for the ring. I've tried taking pictures of the ring on my table, but the results are not great. The ring looks better on a finger. Secondly, it should be obvious that I edited the pictures to give it a soft focus and a more romantic feel. Blur = romantic. Something new eh?

Most importantly, this post is reminder to all that contrary to what my blog title suggests, this is not a blog that is about knitting and knitting and... knitting. This is a craft blog and I write about anything and everything that I have made (^_^).

That's all for now. Winter is cold and I am already feeling sleepy... at 8.13pm. Bravo.

From the streets of Bangkok - 6

This is the last post of the series, "From the streets of Bangkok"! It's been great sharing all these neat stuff that I saw during my trip to Bangkok earlier this year. I hope all of you have been inspired! (^_^)

I think this is easy to make! 

Step 1: Just grab one of your fabric belts and sew the sides together, with the right side facing each other. 

Step 2: Then turn it inside out so that the right side of the fabric is facing you.

Step 3: Tie a knot at one end, leaving a short length of tail (as see at the back of the necklace in the picture).

Step 4: Alternate between putting a wooden bead into the sewn fabric and threading the fabric through the wooden bead.

Step 5: Continue until you are satisfied with the length, then tie a knot again!

Step 6: Don't forget to finish off by sewing the two open ends of the fabric strip for a neat finish!
