weekend diy : upcycled leather headband

If you have an unused and broken belt, and don't know what to do with it, you can try to make this upcycled headband :) It's so simple to do and just take a several minutes. And didn't need to stitch!
You just need :

• an unused leather belt
• a plain plastic headband
• super adhesive glue (ex. E6000)

Steps :

• cut the belt along the headband
• glue it to the headband
• cut a 12 cm ( 5") stripe from the belt, and fold it to make a little bow, glue it slightly to the side of the headband, not into the middle
• cut a 3 cm ( 1 1/2") strip from the belt for the bow knot, glue it to the center of the bow
• make sure all the part glued tightly, and it's done!!

You have a 'new' headband :)  Please try, I would love to see yours :)

Enjoy your lovely weekend! ♥

Weekend DIY : Vintage Tin Cans

Hi! I've finished doing this nice and easy 'do it yourself' project to decorate my workspace. I'm doing this with recycling the unused ready-to-drink milk cans. You can try to make it too, it's so easy!

Here's what you'll need:
1. unused tin cans
2. sticker paper
3. printable vintage label (this Flickr set has got an amazing array of FREE vintage labels you can download and print)

Just clean up the can's label and discard the cover using can openers. Make sure you smooth the sharp edges so it won't wounded. Print the vintage label onto the sticker paper and stick it on the cans.

And that's it! This is so simple to do. You can make it to create some vintage atmosphere at your home :)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Weekend DIY : Needle Felt Book

I just made this needle felt book for a weekend project. Hopefully the needles won't be scattered again and lost as what has-been :)

I like the felt color combination. Mustard yellow, navy blue and grey. Hope you like it too and this inspiring you.

Have a lovely weekend dear friends!
