DIY Galaxy and woven bracelets

Haven't been working on DIY bracelets in a loongggg time. When i was younger i used to buy tons of beads but in the end i never really made anything complete haha.
Wanted to make a few for my girlfriends for christmas but I was lacking an important component :( so I just went to Chinatown to find it ytd. Was sad to find out that my favourite bead shop closed :( had a hard time finding chains now. blahh.

Simple woven chain bracelets:



Saw these around on the net and when i actually got to doing it... omg it was really tedious!! but i found a trick heh so the more i do the better i get at it.

Anddd galaxy/aztec bracelets:


Steph said i should sell these. But i'm still not entirely satisfied with them! cos i couldn't find the right connector :( guess i have to import from overseas soon! anyway i guess people will soon steal the design and mass-manufacture. oh well.


Made of vintage brass and cowhide leather cord, handmade from scratch! yes i did the centerpiece on my own too. all the prints were handpicked haha i went to alot of trouble to search for them!



Pretty? :)

If you're interested in getting one, just drop me an email :)

Summer DIY Ideas

I was writing out my summer schedule, and I realised I'm gonna spend about 1 month in total overseas, and another 2 weeks in freshmen camps. Gonna be faci for Bondue camp and Arts camp! woo. The SMU trick is to be completely shameless and thick-skinned. Or rather, its a requirement haha.

As for the remaining scattered weeks here and there, I've decided I'm gonna pick up my crafty scissors once again. Recently there has been a whole lot of crafty fashion ideas lying around on the internet, and I'm gonna attempt some of them muahaha check out my hidden talent.

1. Detachable collars

Blogshops selling all these collars for close to $20 and I'm like SCAMMERS. its just a piece of cloth. Hence I shall make my own. They're so cute, but I highly doubt I'll every wear them out.

2. Tie Dye



Tie-dye is such a complicated process. but I really love the effects, like those above. 

3. Knot Fringe 


SIMPLE. I like. and gives off the tribal/bohemian feel that is currently in fashion now.

4. Cut out

Cut out designs are IN! and I figured if the cut out designs are simple enough (like triangles) I should just do it on my own.

I have loads of unwanted clothing lying around just nice for experimentation haha!
