Keeping it Cool

It has been a busy past two months. This was meant to be a June post where the month of weddings and engagements usually happens. We are still posting this any way as we feel it really does relate to all couples planning a wedding.

To most people who are already married and have gone through all the wedding fairytale it is seldom told that stress and horror stories for a wedding planning. One thing is it does get the bride and groom all tense up and at times up to a point of breaking up! So we think this is a good way to cool things down. Don't you think so? Eat. Drink and Married. Brews before I do's.

Here is how we did this craft. We use a canvas cloth and felt fabric.

Cut it up in to this hour glass shape.

Hand painted the message with gold paint.

Last glued the fabric cloth to the felt. Then glued the side of the cut out together to form the Cozy Cooler holder to fit the canned drinks. You can custom fit to a bottle as well.

We hope this inspired you to create something new with things you have around the house and turn it to something awesome.

A Day off with Dad

We are still in beach mode. Since we just came from our summer getaway.

Spending long or short walks with Dad is something we have done and remember as we grow up.

Scavenging through crafts materials a simple twine slipper came to mind. To symbolize the long and short walks with Dad.

Cut out the paper shape of the slippers

Using a twine and glue gun with glue stick to adhere each twine together.

Here is the assembled slippers.

We hope this inspired you to create something new with things you have around the house and turn it to something awesome.

Felt Coaster perfect for Easter

We found quite a bit of left over felt fabric from other projects / craft we did previously and we thought since so many people are posting Easter projects we might as well make one from all our left over felt fabrics. The craft needed to be small. The felt fabrics are just small cuts.

Check out how we made. These came out so adorable.

We hope this inspired you to create something new with things you have around the house and turn it to something useable again.

All tangled up?

Looks like our lives are all wired up now a days. There is a cable for every single gadget we carry. Most people carry 2 mobile phone - one for work and one for personal use.

Laptop computer, tablet and sometimes a nintendo 3Ds. Lets add in an earphones as well. Traveling or moving around the city with our cables is a serious matter!

So do you think you need one of these? If you do well try your hand at making this elegant cable keeper.

Well we do so we got crafting over the weekend again and here is photos of how we did it step by step.

Material use for the cable pouch is felt fabric. To give it the strength we had two felt fabric glue on top of each other to make it thick and stiff to help keep the form of the pouch.

Yes a lot of cutting done. If you have a stencil burner you can opt to use that but you will need a pretty steady hand to use that with this pattern.

this is the inner side of the pouch now...

Now how easy was that!

We hope this inspired you to create something new with things you have around the house and turn it to something useable again.

I-Stand Mobile Phone Holder

You are going to love this project. Everyone is so wired to their phone now a days that so many different gadgets and phone accessories are out in the market.

Well at OJC we use a lot of facetime or video calls and we seem to be always looking for a phone stand to keep our phones upright while multi-tasking. Yes we are guilting of multi-tasking from time to time.

All you need is an empty bottle of baby powder (this one is a Johnson & Johnson's baby powder), washi tape and a good knife blade.

Check out the pictures on how we made this looking so hip!

We hope this inspired you to create something new with left over materials and turn it to something useable again.

"Because LOVE wounds and inflames the HEART."

Cupid in Latin Cupido means "desire". He is also known in Latin as Amore means "love". His iconography acquired the bow and arrow that represent his source of power. Who is shot by Cupid's arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire.

So who does not want that especially from someone we really like. We have our own Love Arrows to share and we won't be shooting them but giving them away and hopefully the myth and magic to desire and love HAPPENS!

Here we are making Love Arrow. Left over craft papers and sticks we had in stock. If you guys followed our wreath project last December you wold recognize the twine we used here.

After we had so much fun doing that wood burn project on the kitchen wooden utensil we had to take out our burn tool again and do it's magic over these popsicle sticks.
