pyssla craft

i spent the weekend at home watching movies and doing pyssla. pyssla beads can be found in ikea. it comes with peg boards in different sizes and shapes, parchment papers and of course a jar of colorful beads!


first, arrange the beads on peg board. be creative with the designs & colors.


done with the arrangement!


preheat iron to medium setting, place a piece of parchment paper over the finished design, and begin ironing in circular motion for about 10 seconds until you see the beads melting together.


now, flip the design over onto the ironing surface to fuse the other side. repeat the ironing process as before. let it cool down a little before removing the parchment paper.


tadaaa! here's a cuppie cake for my cupcake queen friend - Nadia.


here's more of my humble designs for this week :D

scrapbooking

this would be my first scrapbook project. i like the idea of scrapbook as its an interesting way of memory keeping. this round my colleagues and me, we are making a scrapbook for our ex-boss.

i visited some craft shops and noticed that scrapbook materials can cost a bomb! so here, i'm trying to use mostly recyclable materials. the l'occitane brochure (being the core material) has really pretty prints and most importantly... it's free!

some photos and i'm done!

MarthaSteaward.com has some very creative scrapbook ideas...
