DIY: Belt + Board by Anamu

DIY Ikea cork board

I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Ana Maria yesterday. Ana Maria is a fellow blogger and she recently moved to Kuala Lumpur. Wonderful news of course I can use some creative minds here in KL 🙂

Ana Maria is a photographer and she used to make these beautiful handmade clutches. And she also is a regular contributor for Poppytalk bringing very nice DIY projects like the one in the images above and below. 

For this project Ana Maria bought some circle cork pads at IKEA ans used one of her own thin belts. All you need now is some trusty glue… more instructions here at poppytalk.

Molecule Synth

Make a myriad of your own musical instruments

Molecule Synth

Resembling more of a genius child’s wind-up toy than a musical instrument, Travis Feldman’s open source Molecule Synth combines rearrangeable hexagonal pieces to create an unconventional version of the traditional keyboard synthesizer. Each modular node represents an element of the synth—a speaker and amp, a sound generator and a…

Shades Noone Else Can Have But You!

Because most of us wear the same pair every day, we often have a deeper attachment to our sunglasses than other fashion accessories. They’re a really a good indicator of someone’s personality! That’s why the customizable Crafty glasses are so great- finally, you can create your own design to express your unique individuality! The material is prepped to take common paint and markers and each side of the lenses are covered with a protective film that can be removed when you’re done! Get ‘em here!

Paper Nipple Tassles

Artist Bert Gilbert’s crafty take on a titillating accessory
paper-nipple-tassles1.jpg

London-based multidisciplinary artist Bert Gilbert marries DIY with a touch of S&M to create Paper Nipple Tassles—a crafty take on the ubiquitous burlesque accessory. Promising “more fun than you thought possible with paper,” the simple cut-outs are clearly aimed at adding amusement to all kinds of creative activities. Simply cut along the dotted line, apply some “tit tape” and you’re ready for a little lighthearted action.

The Central St. Martins grad originally made the tassels as part of a paper party pack for London’s luxury lingerie shop Coco de Mer, which commissioned Gilbert for her unique tongue-in-cheek outlook on subversive design—a perspective that has garnered her clients spanning Marilyn Manson to Vans. Whether creating products or working in illustration or conceptual art, Gilbert successfully reinvents the traditional with a thoughtfully playful spin on modern design.

Available in five different styles, the Paper Nipple Tassles sell online and in store from London’s Luna & Curious shop, as well as from Gilbert’s own online shop Bert Industries for around £8 a set.


DIY project: a jewelry-messagehanger

I posted a new craft project on BloesemKids today made by Véronique from Pichouline. A great idea and not difficult to make. A chalkboard and magnetic message board for your wall in any desired shape. I love the t-shirt idea for a bedroom and the balloons of course fit in every room. 

Would you like to know how to make them and what kind of materials you need than click here and head over to the BKids' craft projects page

112 DIY Projects: a little round-up with Bookhou

Last week I did a little round-up of all the DIY projects I share almost weekly over at BloesemKids… and there I was assuming that every visitor of Bloesem knows about my other blog B:Kids I noticed via comments, tweets and emails that not all of you know,  so I am going to do another round up today of previous DIY projects posted on BKids … The special thing about today is that all the DIY projects come from one single women … Arounna Khounnoraj from Bookhou … she and I met each other when I was living in Toronto and a couple of years ago she had a little bit more time to create DIY projects for BKids. 

I am super happy for Arounna and her family that their label, Bookhou, is going so extremely well and I hope one day I can stop by their brick and morter shop in Toronto.

And please don't miss today's DIY project: a secret message with decoder
