A few weeks after using the original cassette tape wallet I made, I found out that they're not ideal for storing lose change. It slides out of the sides when you unzip it causing you to scramble around on the floor to collect your change. Or maybe that's just me.
After watching this episode of Threadbanger, I decided I needed to make some homemade lip balm. I bought all of the necessities, bees wax, lip balm tubes, scented oil, the works. That was a few months ago. I finally decided to get off my rump and make some balm!
Sorry I haven’t posted in a long time! It’s been a busy few days. It’s also been a while since I’ve said I was going to do the makeup bag tutorial, so I put it together today! For all of you who don’t remember, or who haven’t seen, my first post was about a travel [...]
About 10 months ago I made a cassette tape wallet after I was inspired by some that I saw online. They were on sale for $43 and the first thought in my mind was, “I can make that for less!” So that’s what I did. Here’s some pictures of it when it was freshly made.
Summer is approaching, so I thought I’d share a project I did a while back which would be used at the pool or beach. Basically it’s a beach bag, but it’s also a towel! It folds up into itself (much like a quillow) but it has handles that make it into a bag. You can [...]
Well, I showed my little sister my new billed beanie hat, and she fell in love with it. I found her wearing it a lot after I had made it, so I decided to make her one today! (It’s her birthday)
I don’t have time to craft today because I have class ALL day.. so I thought I’d share another old craft. My friend had asked me to make a new shift boot for his car, and when he found the fabric he wanted, he handed me the fabric, which happened to be a bandanna, and [...]
This semester I took printmaking where we did some intaglio(pronounced intalio… I seemed like an idiot because when I signed up I went around telling everyone how I was taking intaglio and I emphasized the g.. anyway) We also did some lino cuts and a colograph, but I’ll post all of my other prints on [...]
So this post today is for two reasons. First and foremost, I made some kickin’ rad one of a kind mugs. I got this idea thanks to craftster, roboarsonist. She used a ceramic paint pen by Pebeo called Porcelaine 150 and used it to draw some designs on a few mugs. Once I saw that [...]
I’m Filipino-American so I know a few silly Tagalog words here and there that my mom says now and then. My little sister and I like to combine some of these words to make completely nonsensical phrases. One of these gems is “Ay sus ginoo, sapatos puwet kugmo!” Any Tagalog speaker now should see that [...]
I love to bake and cook, but I’ve never tried to make bread before.. that is, until a few days ago. Unfortunately my first loaf turned out wierd and half unbaked, but I’ve since then redeemed myself. The kind of bread I chose for my first ever to bake is challah. When it came to [...]

When I was a freshman in college, my mom bought me a table to somehow fit into my tiny dorm room.. It was ugly and white, and my roommate and I knew we had to do something to make it fit into our room better. See, we were both artsy people so a plain white [...]

I’m not even going to try to come up with excuses as to why I haven’t posted in forever… I’ll just get to the good stuff. My little sister had some shoes she didn’t really care for anymore, and asked if I could re-cover them for her. I had seen an article in Craft Magazine [...]
I’m finally going to catch up with the times and get myself on Twitter. Unfortunately I couldn’t have my good old name “Chezlin” because I was too slow to jump on the bandwagon. Boo, oh well. So if you people want to, you can now follow me @ChezlinTM. Keep a lookout for a new post [...]
