Instagram - my journey on upcycling

. Made the card the other day to accompany a birthday present... . The card and flowers were card off-cuts and the leaves were from an angpau/Chinese New Year money packet, an easy craft! . #upcycling #upcycled #upcyclingcrafts #junktotreasure #wastenotwantnot #greencrafts #sustainability #sustainableliving #birthdaycards #gifttags #madebyhands #handmadecards #creativity

. Simple embroidery on a shawl given to a good friend for her forthcoming birthday. . I was thinking it would be nice for her to use it on the plane as she is a keen traveller, but she did not wait and used it almost immediately as the air-conditioning in the Orchid Conservatory of the Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur where we were having afternoon tea was almost Arctic-like.... I was very happy that she liked the gift, put it into use and it looked beautiful on her! . An early happy birthday greeting to my dear and beautiful friend May. Wishing you a fabulous time when it comes. Lots of love❤️ . #celebratingfriendship #embroidery #embroideredshawls #creativity #madebyhand #happyday

. Second upcycled Christmas tree ornament in the blue & tassel series... . Usual materials — plastic bottle rings, satin bias tapes, gold beads and tassels. . Took the pictures at different time of the day to present different moods... do you like them? . #upcycled #upcycling #upcycledart #greencrafts #sustainability #sustainableliving #sustainable #madebyhands #christmasornaments #christmasdecor #creativity #upcycler #環保愛地球 #環保 #升級再造 #christmas

. Christmas comes early... . This year for Christmas decorations I have decided on the colour theme of gold and blue. A change from my usual gold and red. . I moved to a new city for work last year and hence, my craft supplies are limited. Nevertheless, I managed to work on my first Christmas craft with just a few things — plastic bottle rings, satin bias tape, gold beads and some very cheap but good looking tassels that I got off a few pairs of earrings I bought online at only RM1.70/USD0.40 per pair. They were all put together of course, with a handy glue gun. . The materials did not cost a lot and some were even junks but with a little brain juice, they were turned into my first upcycled blue Christmas ornament. . #upcycle #upcycling #upcycledcrafts #christmasornaments #christmasdecor #greencrafts #sustainability #sustainableliving #christmas #madebyhand #creativity #環保愛地球 #升級再造 #環保 #循環再造
