Wall Decoration

I have made this wall decoration for Chinese New Year. I got this idea from Pinterest.

I got the butterfly template from here.

And I made plum blossom using quilling method. Plum blossom is a sign of spring.

This is how it looks like on the wall.

Tsumami Kanzashi Hair Band

I saw the tutorial on Tsumami hair band from NHK TV programme. It was very attracting me to try it myself!

The fundamental materials are fabric and hair band.

I cut the fabric into ten pieces 1.5''*1.5'', 

two circle cards with diameter 1.2" and 1.4" respectively, then cut two pieces of fabric a bit larger than the cards.

                                 

I used the needle to pock 4 holes to the smaller circle card to tie the flower to the hair band.

Wrap the card with the fabric and stick them together with hot glue.

Sew the smaller circle to the hair band tightly.

In order to make the hair band look nicer, stick a ribbon to cover the threads.

Then stick another circle on the small circle. This hair band can then be put aside for preparation.

Steps to make Chrysanthemum petals:

Steps to make Cherry Blossom petals:

 

Arrange and stick the cherry blossom petals on the hair band prepared.

Stick the chrysanthemum petals, each between the cherry blossom petals.

Stick a diamond at the middle of the flower.

Father's Birthday

This is the first birthday card I made to my father. This card looks very simple but it took me 2 days to finish it. 

Actually I have no idea about the design. But when I noticed that father always spend his happy hour with his "son" Teddy, then I decided to put Teddy and Xiao Huang ("daughter") inside the card.

Teddy and Xiao Huang are our pet dogs.

Xiao Huang is brown and tall. Teddy is brown and white with short tail.

Do they look alike in the card? Hehe ^^
