Crafty moments

Last Christmas, I really made some effort and pushed my creative side to a certain level. I wanted to give the kids in my classes real unique presents, something made with TLC. So, I decided to custom-make photo frames for each kid.

I bought some wooden frames from IKEA and hopped into the nearest hardware store near my place to get the aerosol spray paint. I got some ideas of decorating the frames with foam papers and plastic jewels. Luck was on my side when I found some really nice and ready-cut foam shapes and the ‘jewels’ at very economical prices.

I went home and put on my workshop apron and started spraying away! Oh what a great time I had. I never thought that crafting is so much fun!

My living room suddenly turned into a temporary workshop, all adorned with old newspapers spread on the floor and remnants of the red and blue paint sprinkled onto the newspapers. It took me a couple of days to actually clean up the entire living room.

I was so excited with my project during Christmas last year. I think this year, I’m going to cook up some other stuffs for the kids. Hope that I can keep the zesty spirit in me by then. *smiles*

Well, for those of you planning to get a gift for a friend or your kids, why not giving a handmade item?

Getting ready…
