DIY: Happy Birthday Bunting

Posted on by

Hearing a lot of birthdays recently so I’ve thought of sharing a DIY Happy Birthday Bunting. All you have to do is print, cut and display. Easiest way to spice your party.

Materials:

• Desktop Printer

• White cardstock or specialty paper

• Scissors

• Eyelet puncher and eyelets

• Yarn or twine

What to do:

{1} Simply save and print the patterned letters on a 11x13in white cardstock. You can download the letters here.

{2} Once you’re done with the printing, simply follow the shape of the letters for cutting.

{3} Punch a hole on the upper middle side of the letters and put an eyelet on it.

{4} Now line up the word “happy” then “birthday” and measure the yarn that fits all the word. I made the words one bunting each. Make sure to add extra yarn on both ends for tying. Then cut a yarn roughly around 2-inch per eyelet and tie each letter on the longer yarn.

You’re all set to hang them. I also made one for Yellow Hauz.

Maybe you’ll also find ideas from some of my DIY‘s. Enjoy your party.

Can you believe it’s already the last Sunday of November? December is really really here. Excited and anxious at the same time. Almost about time to wrap those gifts and see those pretty decors in the malls and streets. Here’s how my week went.

{1} Made a letter and used my MT washi tape stamps I bought in Japan. Love it so much.

{2} I started wrapping some gifts and this one is for Heintje since he’ll be spending weeks in Manila.

{3} Most of my week was spent in Yellow Hauz. Revised our Milktea poster and added the christmas drink.

{4} Decorated Yellow Hauz with snowflakes.

Christmas made of paper

You’ll know it’s already christmas when you see decors all around you. Lights, trees, ornament balls, wreaths and all those that makes you feel like a child once again.

One thing I’m good at is using paper in all sorts. Last year, I tried making a paper christmas tree for Yellow Hauz and in the studio. Now I may have added few more in the family. I added more colors plus paper snowmen and snowflakes too.

Oh I’m feeling a lot more like christmas now. They may not be made of real pine tree nor with snow but these paper decors are still adorable as ever. I’ll be posting them on my shop if you want the actual one and on Etsy if you want the printed file.

Which one is your favorite? Seriously, if you ask me, I can’t decide. Next, I’ll show few decors I did for Yellow Hauz.

How I miss blogging. Past few weeks were mixed of crazy deadlines and lazy days. Here’s what happened this week in my Instagram.

{1} Made a sketch plan for Yellow Hauz‘s decor.

{2} One idea from the sketch plan was done. Paper flowers on old jars.

{3} Got an order of my Paper Christmas Tree.

{4} Mom enjoyed decorating as well, so she did this infront of Yellow Hauz.

I missed last two weeks of Instagram Sunday. It was a week full of fun, crafting, travel and stocking. Here’s how it went.

{1} My sister was trying to imitate me. We were laughing so hard.

{2} New stocks available in the shop.

{3} Gone crazy again with the shoebox organizer. Made 5 in one night.

{4} Went to Gensan last weekend and Heintje and I had a road shoot using iphone.

Don’t you just miss the old days where a mail man knocks on your door and gives you a letter or a postcard? Well I surely did. Then recently from my GenSan crafting, I made a handmade postcard. then I thought, wouldn’t it be great to swap this with fellow crafters and rekindle the old days of snail mail? This got me excited!

Here are some ideas on what you can do… I made this one from my recent crafting in Gensan. I used cricut die-cut images, flower embellishments and rubber stamps for Hello. Then at the back, I used colored pens for the address lines.

Here’s what Airees of Handcrafted Expressions made.

And this one is from Mansy of Hey Kessy.
These are few of the ideas with what you can do. Creativity is endless. Whatever materials and techniques you wanted is up to you.
Now are you up for it? If you are then you can sign up here. I’ll post the guidelines soon…
