Little Busy Bees on Cupcakes

Throwback exactly two years ago.

These were made for my Indonesian friend, Gina

while I was in the UK.

It was her birthday on 27/8/2015.

I made bees out of store-bought fondant.

Everything was store-bought actually.

I simply put things together.

Please see my Hippos in the mud cakes and Ducks in the mud cake too!

Bye now!

DIY Sampul Duit Raya

This is my DIY Money Envelopes project with my 5-year-old niece. I spent one whole day during last Ramadhan with my niece, designing the envelopes according to her preference. She drew the boy and girl cartoons herself. I must say these envelopes are lack of many elements of professionalism….lol. 

They are full of honesty and authenticity. Bravo! Thanks to her, I will be using these envelopes this upcoming Eid season, while stock lasts.

She drew the cartoons and I cut them.

Then she coloured both boy and girl cartoons using highlighter pens.

I scanned the cartoons into many copies

and cut one by one, before pasting each cartoon on every store-bought envelope.

We made Eid greeting cards too! Please see here.

Bye now! This has been so much fun. I hope to do this again next year with her. We’ll see how she improves in her drawing and colouring.

DIY Kad Raya

This is my DIY Eid Greeting Cards project with my 5-year-old niece. I spent one whole day with my niece, designing and printing these Eid greeting cards according to her preference. She drew the boy and girl cartoons herself. She even wrote the wordings herself, with my guidance of course. She cannot read yet…but know the alphabets, lol.

All her drawing and writing were cut and scanned. Then I pasted on a plain paper for arrangement and re-scanned. When I got a desired design, I printed it out on a thick plain A4 paper and cut the leftover edge. Done!

I must say the cards turned out good, for beginners like us…of course. They are full of honesty and authenticity. Excellent! We made only four cards. One for her, one for me, and two more were posted to my cousins (10 and 13 years old), who happen to be her mak sepupu and ayah sepupu.

Bye now and Eid Mubarak everyone! This has been so much fun. I hope to do this again next year with her. We’ll see how she improves in her drawing and writing.
