weekend project: candle holder

yesterday I made this candle holder, it's an unused wire hanger before...  i used a pliers to get the shape, bending here and there, and.. hopplaaa!:) there's a special place to hang ornaments, which can be replaced in accordance with the occasions... hmm... i'm not so much celebrating the love day, i mean no special dinner or gifts or whatever sweet things, but... i love to see people's excitement welcoming feb, 14th, so... this time i hang a heart shape ornament made from felt, because soon we'll have valentines day:D

fortune cookies: chinese new year is round the corner

they're all 100% handmade, dedicated to your love one:) enjoy!

DIY: gift ornament

 

what to do:
• wrapping paper, roll them (pic.1)
• chocos, eat them.. yumm...:p take it's foil paper and crumble to balls (pic.2)
• ribbon, make a nice bow
• glued all of them on a small piece of paper, layer by layer (pic 3-6)

it was a very sudden idea, had to gift wrap for a friend, and got those chocos at the same time:) here it is, enjoy!;)

bobbibow: all white for shower day

my first post for this very new year^_^ hellow, how was ur new year eve? mine was filled with fireworks and trumpets.. trooooeeettttttt! there was a new year eve party with the neighbours in front of our house... we closed the street with a long table with foods and things:)  have no picture, it was nite and my one and only camera is not good for capturing in the dark:p
new year new spirit for crafting, here are white items for baby shower day from bobbibow:)
you can order them with clips or headband, if it is for baby under 12 months I suggest headband better:)

this one is a very nice hairpiece, with its xtra size it will make your baby looks sooo gorgeus! *wait till i get someone's baby for modelling this.

this one is not as big as before, it's a very simple white flower for a holy baptism day...

and here is the last picture, this one is not for baby, but for the baby's mommy... wakakka:) mommy has to look great also rite? a white caps necklace!
