Divisoria Haul 2013

Have you ever been to Divisoria after the Christmas Holiday rush? There's a huge difference I tell you. For one, it's not jam-packed with holiday shoppers rushing about to grab the cheapest gift they could find. Another thing, you get to see where you're going and you're feet is able to touch the ground instead of being literally lifted from the road. Imagine Quiapo day? Hmmm.... :)



Anyway, my friend Nona and I went to Divi one Saturday morning to shop for materials that I would use for my daughter's fairy costume. Nina decided that she will be the fairy, Vidia, one of Tinkerbell's fairy friends. So, off we go. My what I discovered, amazed me, the Divi malls, 168, is filled with wares that would make any crafter swoon. My head was swimming with the different deco and fabric tapes, Korean stamps, stationeries and much, much more. You won't notice them at first but when you take your time, they're definitely there. And it's much more cheaper than the wares sold in Multiply and Etsy.

Next time, I'll be posting the costumes that I made for Nina. Happy crafting! :)

Teacher's Day Treat Boxes

My hubby's neice, Vikka, was wondering what she can give as a treat for her teachers. Friday is Teacher's Day at her school. I thought I'd help her so I made her some treat boxes where she could put the yummy treats for the teachers.

I made the milk carton box following the tutorial at You Tube. Here's a link for you guys:

Though I made some adjustments with the measurements, the outcome was the same.

I used washi tapes from Hey Kessy to wrap around the boxes as embellishments.

The stamped bird was from my own handcarved rubber stamp.

The tag attached to the clothespins were made using some leftover red cardstocks and a black construction paper that looks like a small chalkboard. I attached some baker's twine also from Hey Kessy.

I really had fun making these treat boxes. I wonder what I'll be doing next week? Hmmm...:)

Happy crafting! :)
