A little bit of make-over
Phew~! I started cleaning up my desk and the table in living room. There were so many pens and stuffs all over everywhere. I need a proper ’storage’ for them.
Great! I found this empty shoe box in the corner of my house.. It is a very strong one, and nice quality as well.
I found some left-over material too. Old ribbon, old card boards and old calender. When I say art work or design, in my own defination , I don’t usually buy brand new material unless I would really use them. I normally use those junks mail, super market weekly catalogue or I make my own paper.
This is another quality card board. I’ve got it from Kian–his Christmas present wraps =)
First of all, smear glue all over the edge. Don’t worry about the icky sticky feeling. You gotta love them when you are in art world 
Stick the card board and press it around the edge. Cut off the excessive area.
I slowly insert the pink ribbon for 2 sides. You have to do this before the glue dries. After inserting the ribbon, apply a little bit more glue so the ribbon will stick firmly.
I got the sunflower from last year calender. You know, I love sunflower, all the time =) In this case, I am cutting the blue background off. I just want to keep the yellow parts. A sharp scissors is essential. As you can see here, some part of the ‘flower’ is quite squarish, therefore, you need to round it up, depending how you going to decorate it.
I also use another small one, easily glue it on the other side.
Ta Dah!!!! This is my little storage for all the stationary at home =) The yellow sunflower and black background reflects the contrast.
Don’t really like ‘Picasso’?? No problem! Turn another way around, I’ve got hot pink and black. Pink mateches the baby-pink curtain and carpet at home. Hot and sexy, not? =)
Tell me how much I score out of 10, will ya? I love to hear from you all, so I can keep improving myself. =)
Thank you very much. *_^

Keep up your good work 
Kian is a lucky guy, instead of 吵著要 LV or Gucci made storage bin you made your own with a special touch of art/personality. You are a “keeper”..經濟實惠.
chen: kekek.. kembang? cannot like that la.. put few more kilos on..Perasan? ok ok la! =)
cooknengr: Dunno is a good thing or not, I dunno how to 欣賞those expensive yet ugly brown color LV bag? My friend say I got no taste
