I’ve finally added in my shop the crafting kit I’ve been preparing for days now. And one of the things you can create with it is a DIY mini garland.

Materials you’ll need. {All in the crafting kit}:

• Baker’s Twine

• Washi Tape

• Non-stick scissors

How to do it:

{1}  Measure the length you’ll be needing with your baker’s twine. Then simply wrap around the washi tape on it.

{2}  Now that the washi tape is sticked together. Fold the edge in the middle and cut it to form a V shape.

{2}  Do the same thing until you’ll reach the other edge of the twine. I wanted to have various sizes and lengths so I made the others thicker and did the same procedure.

Now that I’m done, I can simply hang this on my wall, just like this…

If you’re planning a small party, you can actually use this garland to decorate your party. Or maybe just to make your room or office look creative and fun.

Recently, got a little carried away in decorating some shoe boxes and made them as my organizers. Seriously, I have few more, but I think this will do for now or else I might put another column for this one, lol.

 Last time, I used doily lace tape as one of the materials. This one, still using doily but I used Martha Stewart puncher instead.

Here are the complete materials:

• Shoe box covered in manila paper

• Patterened paper

• Sticker cut-outs for lettering

• Doily Lace Martha Stewart Edger Punch

• Brown Ribbon/Lace

• Scissors and glue

How to do it: 

{1}  Punch the patterned paper using the doily lace edge puncher. Since I used a 6×6 inch paper, I’ll be doing the same process twice just to cover up the box.

{2}  Measure the front cover part of the box and cut-off the paper based on the measurement. Again, I did this twice since my box is around 12-inch wide.

{3}  Glue and connect the two papers on the box. It’s up to you whether you would want to extend the paper on the side.

{4}  Add a ribbon or lace on the upper part of the box. This will also cover the edge of the paper. Make sure the ribbon you’ll use will match the patterns of the paper.

{5}  Embellishments time! I used die-cut stickers for my lettering and handmade paper for the butterfly on the side.

I’ve displayed them on my shelf and I think they’re looking pretty there. I have few more boxes to decorated and for some I used washi tapes instead. But for now, this will be my last DIY for shoe boxes, or who knows right, hihi…

It’s been awhile since I had my last DIY. And since I’ve done some organizing in my room, I’ve thought of sharing some DIY Shoebox Organizer I did for my rubber stamps. Yes, it seems that I have this thing with dressing up some boxes. But let’s face it, they can be very helpful as organizers.

Materials you’ll need:

• Shoe box

• Manila paper

• Glue gun and scissors

• Doily Lace tape

• Wooden letters

• Flower embellishments

What to do:

{1}  Firstly, cover your shoe box with the craft paper just like I did here. Once you’re done, use a Doily Lace tape and stretch it from one corner to another on the cover of the box.

{2}  Add the wooden letters on the lower left side of the cover using the glue gun. If you don’t have wooden letters, cut-outs will also do. Spell out STAMPS, or RUBBER STAMPS so you would know what’s inside the box.

{3}  Simply add the flower embellishment on top of the wooden letters. This will give extra crafty look to your box.

And a simple and chic organizer for your stamps is ready to be displayed in your shelf. Tomorrow I’ll share another one I made for my cutters. Enjoy crafting!
