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.

We are all Egg-cited to show you this.

We have been seeing a lot of egg craft the past week. (Obviously because Easter is coming up) So we thought to come up with our own egg craft as well.

As we sat on our brainstorming table we did not expect someone would show up in the office with a wooden egg with an egg holder!

Wood! What else would we do of course do some wood burning craft again!

For the egg holders we painted them with marble effect to give the stand and egg some contrast.

So now you understand why we are all EGG-cited to show you our Easter Craft.

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.

Celebrating Lent

A time to grow closer to God.

We started this craft project the day after Ash Wednesday. In the spirit of Lent, this helps remind ourselves the value of repentance and looking forward to a BRIGHT Easter Sunday which symbolizes the fulfillment of a promise to us by God.

We went through our craft stash to find materials that might inspire us. Something that is a simple symbol of prayer. We thought why not a mini rosary. A form of devotion that tells the life of Jesus and Mary through the Rosary Mysteries.

What craft stash did we find? Some paint and some polymer clay.

The clay did take some time to dry.

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

Pack and Play!

Are you planning a summer vacation already? Well at OJC we are planning one and that is why we came up with this very nifty and useful traveling organizer/ pouch. Definitely not your usual pouch.

We all have a lot of those small things to pack when we travel, and you have to admit at times - ones we get to our hotel - everything just gets missed or we knew we pack it but seem to not find it.

Have you ever though of bringing a travel organizer to put inside the hotel drawers to make unpacking organize and easy to find.

Here is how we made our simple pouch organize with multi layers.

Added some modern -"hip" design on the sides to give it that nice unique touch.

Glue the felt cloth alternately.

Here it is! All assembled.

We hope this inspired you to recycle some of your extra cloth or felt 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.
