Homemade DIY Christmas Craft For Kids

We made these fun things as a part of OB's Christmas homework.
Obviously, mommy had more fun than him :)
Christmas Craft
This one's made of used folder cut into shape and decorated with multicolor round stickers. The star is cut out of a clean menu from a restaurant.
OB had lots of fun adding the colorful baubles all over the tree.

Christmas Craft
These are made of used box and the remaining of the folder :)

Kid's Crown Craft
The crown is made of the rest of the folder, decorated with the same stickers.
Kid's Crown Craft
Simply attach rubber band at the back of the crown to fit any size comfortably.

Did you make anything this Christmas? Show me, show me.

DIY Repurposed Upcycled Home Decor & Toy - Happy World Environment Day

Some of the fun repurposed/upcycled things in our little home :)

Apart from not letting things go to waste, we adore the rustic aesthetics of repurposed things & doing these projects helps keeping our creative juices flowing too!

Our little king.

So easy & so fun.

The feature wall in our flat.

The most left is a map from Skyrim (SC's an avid gamer), crunched up and fitted into a cheap frame. We also use cutouts from old magazine, an old postcard, and accessories that I don't frequently wear anymore. They look great on the wall!

Magazine cutouts make really cute wall art :)

This is a super old & unused table lamp we found in SC's grandma's place in China.

We simply changed the bulb and use it.

Home Sweet Home

I found a vintage photo frame that's perfect for my door, drew a lil something on it & my home signage is done.

I wanted a message board at our workstation & finally filled it with our goals. You like?

A "keep calm & take a bath" with a little duckie & a post card of a Turkish princess for the bathroom.

Cheap & easy. Very me. Heheheh.

DIY - Turning Baby Onesies Into Tops

H&M baby onesies
Babies grow fasttttt.
And this mama never learn her lessons.
She bought these cute onesies from H&M knowing that they won't fit in no time!
But look at how cute they look! You wouldn't blame me for giving in, would you?

Baby M has outgrown all of the above cute onesies...but I think he can still wear them as tops. So I did a bit of a lame DIY ;)

I simply marked where I wanna cut with a ruler and marker, whack the bottom off, double folded the edge and stitched them. I meant to expose the stitches, so I used contrasting colors.

But anyway...mama's happy!
