Hello friends!

Hope you're doing well.

For the past few days, I've been making simple packaging for my bracelets.

I'm using scissors, krafts paper, twill tape, magnets, double tape foam and cloth. I make pocket cloth to keep the bracelet and also to reduce plastic usage.

Below is the result:

Use A4 size kraft paper, measure the space for the bracelets.

Score the paper depending on the size of the packaging you need. Make sure that it covers the height of the bracelets too. Cut the excess on every sides of the papers and form the edges as desired.

I put the bracelets inside a cloth pocket.

Then close the package by folding each side carefully.

I printed a label and stick it on front of the package using double tape foam. Measure and cut the twill tape, glue it on the back and pull it to the front. Stick small piece of magnetic sheet on the edge of the twill tape. The magnet on top side is longer than the one below, it's made so it can still move depending on the bracelets thickness. Glue the excess of twill tape on the edge so it won't messy.

Slip the twill tape beneath the label so magnets on the edges can meet to secure the package.

Voila, the package is done and my bracelets are ready to be shipped! :)

Thank you very much for taking your time in reading my post!

Have a great weekend all!

Now last but not least is her wedding ring box.. And thank you to my friend SUSAN for sending me some flower ribbons which are very useful and very beautiful!! thank you dear for your kindness! *big hugs*

I made this wedding ring tray on a very last minute just few hours before my flight departed to Java. It was very mixed feeling and chaotic situation because on that night we received news that my father-in-law had passed away. The problem was that I hadn't even started making this box as at first I wanted to make it carefully and the only thing ready was the tray but without cover :P So well, things were a bit chaotic when we had to rush to the airport that night and trying to get on the earliest flight for the next morning. Lucky we easily got the ticket and packed all of our stuff. Since we had to go to airport at 4 am so I decided not to sleep at all to be able to catch the flight and make the box :P And fortunately, I can still open my eyes and finished this box much more quickly than I thought :)

I bought the pink ring box on a local store, then I used cotton and woven fabric for the tray. I added some flowers which given by my special friend Susan and I gave ivory ribbon underneath the box. And lastly I put those scrap pretty pink roses flower imitation :P Well, well, that's all for my special friend's wedding.. I love all these boxes but most importantly, I hope she and her husband loved them too!

Congratulation for your Wedding, dear friend! May your marriage will last forever! :)

Now this is a box for her jeweleries items. Instead of putting them in a closed box, I preferred to display them with clear acrylic cover :) I'd like to keep it simple in order to show off the items inside.. I'm using the Bali woven fabric too and the unique flower pattern ribbon..

And this is another package for her wedding too.. this time I'm using again the Bali woven fabric with silver color and ribbon with unique flower pattern! I'm also using flower cloth from my special friend too :) her name is SUSAN and you can find her blog on the side bar. Her quilling and coloring technique are superb! Susan, thank you for the flowers as they have made my box more beautiful!! :) *big hugs*

And this is for her cosmetic package :) same color and almost same arrangement with the previous one.. Oohhh, I truly adore this woven fabric, just captured my heart!!

Now this is another handmade box for my friend wedding too :) this is her toiletries stuff and I did simple arrangement as well. The reason is that I love simple style and most important thing is that it's easier for the groom's family to carry :) I'm using Bali woven fabric too and I truly love the bright yet unique color!! Also I added few flowers from cloth which I also bought at the nearest craft store :)

This is a lingerie box package for my friend's wedding. Again, another handmade box and I didn't do much arrangement on the items inside as I like to keep it simple :) I'm using ivory color from Bali woven fabric for the box (kain Endek), ribbon with unique flower pattern and some flowers I bought from a craft store..

This handmade box is a special request from my friend for her wedding last week. It's a very simple box with acrylic cover. I only added some ribbon flowers on the edges of the cover, ehh I bought the flowers in the nearest craft shop :) I'm also using a silver woven fabric for the box. I really fall in love with Indonesian textile and this Bali woven fabric or we used to call it "Endek" has really captured my heart :)

I hope my friend liked it!

Hello all :) How are you doing today? Hope you're always in good health.

Just a quick post again, sorry because it's already 1 am here and I am soo exhausted today. I have added another activity to my weekly schedule which is a language course :P Yes, I am studying again hehe.. and I do my course after my office hour every Tuesday and Friday for the next 3 months :) Hope my old brain can still accept the lesson :P

And this late afternoon I got great news that I won a giveaway from one of my friend quiz on her facebook! Yipeee. She also has her own blog and you can find it on the right side of the bar, her name is Dwita and she's a very creative woman as I learn a lot from her :) Thanks mbak Dwita for your lovely giveaway notebook!

Well, this early morning, I just want to upload gift tags which I have just finished few minutes ago. They are ordered by a friend for her friend's wedding. The design is very simple and very fast to make, I only typed the fonts, chose the shape and printed out then cut them one by one using a cutter. Afterward the nice thing I love to do was embossing them with Fancy Corner embossing folder from CB machine. I only made the holes as my friend wanted to use her own ribbons for the tags. Here they are..

Ok everyone, this is all for now coz I am really really sleepy right now!

Love you all always!! Muach Muach :)

Hello frenz :) this is another gift box cloth that i made, the material called ende cloth. i was so glad that one of famous furniture and accessories store in kuta is interested in my gift box ever since they saw it for my office project. Although the store don't accept supplier for boxes (since their products are mostly come in giant sizes such as wall decorations, tables etc :P) but still i appreciate that they will refer my name to their customers :) yipeee...

now, i'm just keep trying to push myself to make more gift boxes :)

more practice so i can have more clients hehe..

what do you think?? is my gift box worth to buy? :P

don't hesitate to tell me! i'm open for any feedback and criticizm :)

This silver cloth box is an order from one of my best friend. She needs simple container to keep her silver accessories. I added two big round earings in the centre of the box cover, they're not silver but their shine make the box looks more elegan.. I think :)

thank you all for stopping by and looking!

This little box is another order from a friend. She wanted to have a box for her beauty product which is small and simple. Basically the box is almost the same as boxes for tea products. so well, after few samples made she then agrees with this one. They will come in different colors and this purple is just one of them :)

Hi there, sorry it takes time for me to update this blog, thanks to a useless internet provider! Anyway, i want to share this maroon gift box is which was ordered by my hubby's boss.
She needed a gift box for her mobile phone gift, her idea was an elegant and simple gift box.

So voilaaa.. i made this for her :)

Instead of using ribbon on the box cover, i used same type of cloth material as the gift box but with dark brown color.. i like it this way :) And inside i use small sponge to avoid the hand phone from getting scratched and put a small ribbon to tie it up. Although the person who ordered it said that it's so very nice but one thing that really bothered me was the fact that the box cover is two millimeter bigger than what i had calculated, i guess i should be paid more attention to details next time :p

thanks for visiting :)
