It's been almost a week now since I landed here. Homesickness still struck in the middle of the day out of nowhere, I just keep myself busy to ward off the feeling. Being away from home taught me so many things, and I decided to blog them one by one.
Singapore's First Lesson to Nicka Gracia: GO TO THE MARKET/ DO YOUR OWN GROCERY
Way back in the Philippines I always rely on Mama Elsa, my aunt who is also a mother to us, whenever I am in the market. I practically knew nothing about "tawad", I am always confused on what to buy and I always ended up missing something from the grocery list if I did the chore by myself. So last Sunday, Ate handed me 50 SGD and told me to buy something in ShengSiong, more like a supermarket here, and when I asked here what to buy she just replied, "Bahala ka na." And I'm like... Ahm, uhm... HAHAHAHA!
So SG's first lesson: Ang mamalengke! In all fairness, it was a success. My cousin and I were able to budget our money. Yay!!!
Ah, I told you I really should rename this blog! Haha! Last Monday I declared it to be a writing break. So I divert my attention to crafts! I finally opened again my craft box and got acquainted again with my scissors. And for a quick crafting session I made this bookmark from the last Christmas' gifts bookbinder. :)
Materials:
Any scrap colored cardboard or folder
Ribbon
Scissors
cutter and scissors
Hoarder's preparation ^_^
I cut almost 6 centimeters of used colored board.
Then cut a straight line in the lower end so I can insert a desired length of ribbon.
Secure the ribbon at the back of the board. Design your ribbon! <3
Lookie! <3 |
Hey, it's been a long time since I last posted a DIY craft! Maybe I should rename my blog, I could change it to a DIY Bookmark nook since most of my DIY craft are bookmarks. LOL
Without much further ado, let's start crafting
What you will need:
Paper clips (bigger clip is much better)
buttons
buttons from Scrapbooking, ordinary buttons will work just the same |
Paper clips. I hoard almost anything and it includes these clips. |
You just glue-gunned the buttons in the top portion of the paper clips and voila, you have an instant bookmark!
Finish product! |
trying my new found love. haha |
Happy crafting! <3 <3 <3
