What The Craft!

Other than being a pseudo-wanderer, doing arts and crafts is also a thing that I want to do on my gap year. I've been using Pinterest a lot for inspiration. But I think the gods of arts and crafts hate me because I can't seem to have a decent outcome. Hahaha.

But then I thought of those adorable floral crowns that are a music festival staple. At my age, I don't think wearing a floral crown to work is appropriate so I decided to make a floral barrette instead, since I have old barrettes lying around the house and I like hair accessories as well.

Materials:
  • Barrette
  • Craft flowers of your preferred color -- I bought mine at a local store, SME. You can also get it at a cheaper price from Divisoria
  • Beads (optional) -- I only used it as fillers to some areas that looked bare. I got mine from my Ate Richie's remaining bead stash
  • Glue gun (optional)

Procedure:
Draft the placement of the flowers on the barrette. Once you're happy with your design, you can now start attaching the flowers using the glue gun. As for my barrette, I didn't use hot glue on it because the stem of the flowers is made out of wire so a few twists made it secure enough not to fall off.

Here is the finished product:

Flower Power, y'all!

YAY, I NOW HAVE SOMETHING TO CALL A TALENT. LOL.

Right now I'm working on a hair comb but I ran out of craft flowers. Will post a photo of it soon. :)

CNA Philippines


I've been meaning to write this post about CNA ever since I first stepped into their store but I was too lazy and that I haven't bought anything from them yet so it is totally pointless to do so. And I'm blabbering again. LOL. So let's start with this, shall we?

It was my sister Charmaine who told me about "this Korean store" in the University Tower, Malate. She said she saw it when she was on the way to Robinson's Place and it was packed so she didn't try to get in. But according to her, it sells accessories. And I, being a Korean accessory freak ever since watching Dream High, wanted to check out the place ASAP sans the crowd.

The old signage

When I finally had a chance to check it out for myself, here's what I saw and I nearly cried rainbow colored tears.

So colorful!
