Chinese New Year Decoration at Craft Space

Chinese New Year is just a month away...to welcome the year of the Monkey...u should expect to see a lot of Monkey themed crafts...I really mean it 😜😜😜

After the successful decoration for Halloween & Xmas, we just can't stop & we want to continue to challenge ourselves further!

So, for this CNY decoration, we made cute monkeys...

How can we not have the Cherry Blossom tree???

We even added some Mandarin Oranges made from Magic Nuddles...

We have lots of cherry blossom flowers on the floor too!

Not to mention a lucky cat made from foam AND fire crackers from Ang Pow packets! 😍😍😍

I even took out my pride possession...the pineapple that I made when I was a teenager...cool huh?

Best of all...the wishing board is made using LOTS of Perler beads...we even manage to make it in Chinese characters...

We also made 2 Lucky Cats out of Perler Beads & are now on display...hopefully they will bring us more sales 😊😊😊

This decoration project is making all the instructors excited but for Putra team...we actually got some kids to involve in the making!

This masterpiece took us about 2 weeks to complete which involved at least 50 kids! 😍😍😍

Super loving this!

Special Project that represent the colours of Malaysia

Recently, a client asked us to make 3 characters using Perler beads...these 3 characters represent the colors of Malaysia, in terms of religion & culture.

According to the client, it will be used as teaching materials to primary students...we were honored enough to be given an opportunity to create something meaningful as this...

This is what the client provide us...

And, this is what we delivered...

The Malay boy...

The Chinese boy...

The Indian girl...

With all three together...now this is what Malaysia is all about...1 Malaysia, living in Muhibah...

Cabinets became my Wall for all my Wall Decals

For those of u who visited my center before, u will notice we truly have limited space for ALL of our crafts...so, we need to think out of the box where to place our sample...

Here is a very good example 😊😊😊

Cabinets that are under utilized...

We transformed it into these!!! These are from our center at The School Jaya One...

When we started Sunway Putra, we even created a storyline for our wall decals...do u think u know what story it tells?

Oh! This is our newest addition to Craft Space The School Jaya 1...when we had Emma's party last 2 months...😊😊😊

Happy Spooky Halloween

Last October, in conjunction with Halloween, we used Magic Nuudles to make a Halloween theme decoration...

This is work in progress...

1 giant Jack-O-Lantern, 1 small one, 1 haunted villa, 1 treat-or-trick basket filled with candies, and 1 spooky oak tree...oh, did u see the owl?

This is the completed version...

We added more items to make it more interesting! We added another oak tree...some ghosts, tome stones & another Jack-O-Lantern...

Look at the giant spider & it's baby! The baby is crawling on the top right side...

We also added lots of tiny bats...too bad it is too small to be noticed unless you go close...😂😂😂

I love this setup...we displayed it for about 3 weeks & there were lots of people who came & took pictures with it...guess it became an attraction huh...

Constantine's 1st Craft Party

During the last school holiday, Constantine wanted to invite his friends over for a gathering, so we organized a Craft Party!

This is taken after we have set up the snack area. Christopher got an invitation to the Craft Party too & he is pretty excited because his friend (one of Constantine's classmate's younger brother who is also Christopher's classmate) will also be coming!

This is the entire setup, ready & waiting for the kids' arrival. Yuya & his brother were the first to arrive. So Constantine & Christopher were playing with them at the back.

Kids are having fun with Perler Beads! 

They are having fun with Magic Nuudles!

All in all, it was a success! I hope all of the kids had fun! 😜😜😜

Batman vs. Superman

This week is the much anticipated week as Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice will be shown.

While I'm not a huge fan of this movie, I know many are. So, in anticipation of this movie, we have made something...

So, which team are you? Batman or Superman?

Rainbow Bear for Christopher

Few years back, I made my 1st batch of Teddy Bears for Constantine's year end party pack for all his friends & teachers in pre-school. 

I also made Christopher 1, with his favorite color yarn: Orange.

Then, in 2014, I created a series of Expression Bear using rainbow colors...

Christopher had been pestering me to make a new bear for him because his Orange Baby Bear (yes, he named his Orange Bear as Baby Bear) is breaking apart. Reason being he always plays with him...when I finished making Baby Bear, he always bring him out, putting him in his pocket...

So, Baby Bear is all worn out, after years of washing & playing.

Since I need to prepare some bears for an event this round, I've decided to make him a new bear. So we went & bought the yarn of his choice...

Then I made this...

This round, with improved skill, I manage to make the bear more solid compared to Baby Bear. But the problem is...it is too solid until can't be stuffed inside the pocket!!!😂😂😂

Christopher named him Baby Rainbow Bear...he plays with him everyday but he has been complaining that he is too big to fit into his pocket so he can't bring him everywhere he wants...😅😅😅

24th Week of Craft Activity (9th Aug 2015)

School holiday is just around the corner.

We have designed some traditional games for the kids to play! Best part is after they completed the craft, we actually played with them!

1) fishing game is one of our favorite! It is fun & many players can join in if you have enough fishing rods & fishes! 

2) checkers is a very popular board game when we were young but kids nowadays don't know what is checkers...I hope after this they will remember how to play this!

3) Tic-Tac-Toe is rather well-known among the kids so you can imagine many knows how to play them well.

4) puzzle time! We have lots of designs for the kids to choose from. And, we cut the pieces according to age too! Younger kids have lesser pieces, older kids will have more pieces to add up the complexity!

5) pairs or pexeso is when you find the card most relevant or associated to other card. In this case, we used Superheroes for boys & Princess for girls! Well, what can I say...of course the kids won most of the time as they grow up watching all these movies!

So...want to have a round of game?
