DIY: Carton Milk Wallet

"Create your own toy," we learned it from our parents. Now it's time for us to teach our kids to do the same.

So our project is creating a wallet from carton milk. We got the instruction from Disney Family Fun (link)







There you go! Now don't forget to bring that wallet when we're going to grocery, kids!

Rose Fabric Necklace

Another fabric necklace? Yess...I'm totally addicted of making them. The fun part is I don't have to deal with chain, plier, etc. Only glue, thread here and there. I made video tutorial for the rose, but I'll post it soon *lazy mama*.

Fabric Ring Necklace

Stacy of Hart+Sew posted this nice tutorial. I was browsing around of fabric necklace images through flickr, then I ended up at her blog. It's really easy to make and I have all the materials. Not all actually. I use a cardboard (that've been used by my kids...see the doodles) to substitute the plastic ring as she suggested.

And here's the pictorial :

Spring Summery Dress

Ohh Dana I heart you and I heart your crafty life. When I first saw her tutorial in her blog...I feel like...I have to make this one. This is a great way to reuse one of Dad's old shirts...too cute! Unfortunately I didn't have one. I made it with a new fabric.
