Macaron Coin Purse

I have seen a lot of tutorials on how to make macaron coin purse and I just can't help myself for not making one. My macaron coin purse was made exactly the same as  those tutorials, the only thing that differentiates mine and those macaron coin purses is the main material used for making my macaron coin purse. Most tutorials tell you to use cover button as one of its material but mine doesn't. I use the cap from 5 gallon water bottle instead. Yes, I have a lot of them because in my country, it's impossible to drink water directly from the tap. So if you want to drink here, you must either boil the water first or buy the bottled water.

Okay, it's my first amigurumi. A day before my son's school field trip, he told me that he would have this exchanging-gift activity and was asked to bring a gift which is worth IDR 10.000 (Around $1). Well, it was a sudden notice and I was too lazy to go out just to buy that. I have yarns at home, felt fabric, a lot of yarn and felt. Well, I guess you could tell how the story went after that ... Since I couldn't know whether it was for a boy or a girl, I guess an amigurumi monster key chain is a safe option for me to make.

Small Gifts

Few days ago, my friends and I had a small reunion. The last time we met was when my friend got married about 5 years ago. It's been quite long, hasn't it? Especially for us who still live in the same island. Actually it only takes about 30 minutes driving for us to meet but in traffic conditions today, it could take longer. But it's mostly because since we're being a mom, we no longer have a lot free time and some of us also work at home so we do have trouble to match our schedule.

I was so excited and looked forward to meeting them. So, I prepared small handmade gifts for them and their children. And here they are ...

Little Girl Key Chain

My Little Projects key chain

Yay, I managed to make this little key chain from my own drawing. At first, I made it for myself but after it's done, my youngest daughter begged me to give it to her. She said the doll was her and she wanted to show it to her friends and tell them that it was her. She even tried to smile like it. What a cute!  And now she asked me to make her a doll like the Black Apple doll that I made but with this face. Just be patient, dear! Mommy will make it for you as soon as mommy has a time.
It's always been a great pleasure if our children like things we made, right?


Happy crafting!

Hand-stitched Hello Kitty key chain

Here is my craft project from last week. It's a Hello Kitty key chain. It's still made of felt, my favorite fabric, and of course, since I still don't have a sewing machine yet, I have to hand-sew this small doll. Its height is about 10 cm, more and less. At first, I thought making a small doll like this would be easy but it turned out to be a bit difficult. It must be done thoroughly and because I never made small project like this, I made few mistakes here and there. Hey, what can I do? I'm just a beginner. :P  I learned the hard way.
However, I'm still happy with it because my daughter still likes it  in spite of the fact that it is not flawless.

Felt plushies key chain

Just a quick craft that I made for gift exchange activity in my daughter's kindergarten school. The school has the rules that the gift should be under IDR 10000. Well, for under IDR 10000, the option is only pencil, pencil case or key chain. So, instead of just buying random stuff in a gift shop, I made it by myself. I think this felt plushies key chain is also under IDR 10000, right?

Happy crafting!
