After a long hiatus from actual DIY work (posts about invites as
of late were all for materials), I had the sudden urge to tinker with our
matches. Together with our bible, these were winnings from a contest we
joined last year.
To start off, I
peeled off the satin cover of the matches and replaced it with dark blue felt cloth.
Then I decided to
paint yellow the white and silver rope of the original design. Once dry, I attached it on the matches the same way it was used in the original design. But
after doing that, the look did not come off as I expected so I tore it out
again. Without any pre-meditation for this DIY, I don't have any idea what
design to make. Adrin suggested to just put some lace as a simple accent. Sadly
the eyelets on hand are too wide as they were intended for the wrist
corsages.
It's time to bring
out the trusted box of thingamajigs once more. I was scouting for anything that I can
use when I saw a white mesh ribbon which used to be a part of my old blouse (I told
you, I’m such a junkie. Haha). I suddenly had the inspiration to create a
flower out of it and again use my leftover beads as its core.
After making two flowers, I glued them on the upper right hand
side of each match and this is how they turned out.
Simple but cute. Just how I wanted them to be. Another one for the books eh? =)
Cheers!
