Earrings Organizer Tutorial



Those who know me know that I don't wear much jewellery other than earrings. I've started a habit of buying at least a pair when I travel, and my family and friends would sometimes think of me when they see an interesting one and bring me a pair. (God bless them!)

After a while, they became difficult to organize. On the day I couldn't find my pair of pink Swarovski DH had bought me many years ago, I decided that I need an organizer solution STAT. Where else could one go for solution ideas other than Pinterest. 

The keyword "Earring organizer" gave a lot of results on Pinterest and it didn't take too long before I decided which one would suit me best. I knew I wanted something on the wall. Most of my earrings are open-hook and dangly. So the burlap covered frame would suit me best. 

First, I measured my wall area and decided the dimension I wanted my organizer to be. Then, I searched for the wooden inner frame, the same kind they use to stretch canvases for photos or for painting. In Indonesia, they are called 'spanram'. This was something I just learnt during my search. 

I ordered my frame from Rcf Wood +62 812-8626-5619. I sent them a message on WhatsApp, gave them my dimensions, transferred the payment, and waited. Less than a week later, the frame arrived at my door. 

It was time to assemble! 

What you need:
  • Inner frame (spanram)
  • Enough burlap to cover the frame 
  • Stapler and staples
  • 2 wood screws (metal screws for wood)
  • String for hanging
  • Decorative items (ribbons, glitters, or whatever you fancy)
Steps:

1. Lay out the burlap on your workspace and put the frame on top.


2. Fold over the burlap to cover the wood and staple in place. Be sure to stretch the burlap so it doesn't sag.

3.  Fix the 2 screws onto the inner side of the frame, depending on how you want to hang this later. The screws will be used to hold the string.



4. Tie the string onto the screws, make sure it's not too long but it doesn't have to be too stretched either.



5. Decorate however you like and voila!



Note: if you want to hang studs on this frame, insert a small piece of styrofoam at the bottom area. Here you can poke the studs on.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
