DIY:: Bantal hantaran

Hello people.

How are you doing today?

Me, not so good. 

But I wonder why when people ask you, how are you, even we are so down, we will said, yeah we are fine, how are u?

 Or even when we said nah we are very this and that, and they will not listen?

Tee hee. I guess, it's just politeness, eh?

Oh well..

Last weekend, I made this lil project on bantal or "pillow" hantaran.

I love DIY, but since the engagement will be just around the corner, so I made this super easy, even the most un-creative people could also do this!

This is so bloody easy, I finished it less than 2hours only for 7 pillow!

Okay so the things U'll need will be::

Polystyrene that shaped like pillow ( I bought rm5.80 for one)

Sponge ( rm1.50 1 strip, a strip could cover 1 polystyrene)

Piece of clothing. (mine is dark purple jersey!) 

And the most important is this glue gun! ( RM3 for gun, RM2 for 10 sticks of glue)

1.Lay down the sponge

2. Lay down the polystyrene on top of the sponge

3.Glue one side together

Tadaa

4. Glue the other side, then glue in between gaping between polystyrene and sponge

Tadaa, the spongy polystyrene~

Lastly, glue the fabric together. 

I didn't even make it very put together, just throw everything out and I think it turns out rather well, isn't it?

After that you can decorate it with strips of sequins, blings2, crystal, fur, feather, tulle or whatever rock ur boat!

Haven't decorate mine yet, but when I did, I will post it out!

So, what's next for me?

1. Deco the bantals

2. Crochet small pillow for his watch

3. Make two bantal for sofa

4. Confirm flowers

5. Buy stuff for flowers (sponge, flower wire and tape, ribbon)

I think this will keep me busy busy busyyy~

Happy Diy-ing peeps!

Hey Folks!

Yesterday I went to Maple Flora to buy some flowers, and try to DIY the flowers. and I think I need to buy more!!

I bought cameron rose in dark pink, pink, white and peach, baby breath and statice. 

My friend bought that sunny yellow sunflower. Pretty!

The flowers before the ritual. :p

So what I did is buy the sponge, put it in a pail, and wait until it absorbs water and turn dark green, then wrap it in aluminium wrappers. 

Next, I just start putting in the flowers! 

So taadaa~

First try

Second try.

So moral of doing hantaran yourself is::

a. make sure how much flowers you will need for this.

ex, i thought 8 roses and 4 stalks of baby breath is enough, turns out I could only get a quarter of that round one, and only top ones for the second ones.

b. Make sure to buy more, not less!

I can't emphasize enough on this, as you know flowers could wilt, or the petals could unfurl, as exhibit b. XD

c. do not wrap the aluminium wrapper twice!

I did on the sides and I kept making my stalks broken, and make my flowers stalk shorter and shorter. 

d. Make sure which design goes well with the hantaran itself. 

No point making a round wreath when you need a tall hantaran, right?

So there you go. 

Maybe I'll buy more and try again later. 

Hopefully I could do more prettier :D
