Still in the mood for Pyssla Beads. Here’s a Yellow Angry Bird

Yellow Angry Bird

Let’s make a bird today. Not an angry bird but a cute one

Toilet Paper Roll Bird

Paint a toilet paper roll any colour to your liking.

Paint your thumb white and stamp as the white eye. Paint your pointer black and stamp again as the eyeball

Cut two triangles out of orange construction paper for the beak

Spread PVA glue all over the toilet roll

Now it’s the fun part – Sticking feathers onto the bird.

Instead of buying feathers from craft store, I bought a brand new feather duster and stripped the feathers from it instead. It’s much cheaper that way!

The kids with their bird

After the success of making our very own Pyssla Beads Angry Bird keychain, we proceeded to making coasters today.

Angry Bird coasters *well, the one in the middle is NOT Angry Bird though, it’s DOMO *

It’s basically the same as making keychain except we don’t hook a key ring on it.

Red Angry Bird Coaster

I wanted to add background to make the coaster square but it turned out too large for a coaster so I scrapped the idea totally. Let this be a unique coaster that is neither round nor square

The coasters, keychains and even fridge magnets are now on sale in the Studio. Coming soon is the green pig and yellow bird

A student showed me a picture of an Angry Bird made of Pyssla beads and asked me if I can make that for him. Well, we tried and guess what? We made a key chain out of it!

Angry Bird Keychain

I think we got it right…

P/S: I really would like to give credit to the person who created the pyssla design for this Angry Bird but I just don’t know where my student got the picture from. If you are that person, please do drop me a line and I’ll link it back to you. Thank you.

Here’s how to insert the keychain to the Angry Bird:
* Poke a hole in the Angry Bird and insert the keychain

* The bird will be angrier coz u poked it

Cheers and have a nice day

We were in Sunway Giza this evening and saw this..

Let’s fold origami cranes for Japan!

They say anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will have their heart’s desire come true.

Let’s together fold MORE than one thousand origami cranes for the Land of the Rising Sun in light of their recent quake and tsunami plight.

Origami papers and simple instructions were provided.

Ethan trying to figure out what to do..

He is getting it… it is starting to turn out to be a crane

There! His origami crane. I think the tail is a little bit off but it’s okay. It’s the effort and thoughts that counts right? He is barely 4 years old, give him a break!

Ready to insert the origami crane into the box provided.

We did not one but four origami cranes. We would love to stay on and do more but we ran out of time.

Will definitely go back to Sunway Giza soon to make more origami cranes.

Our Heart Goes to the people of Japan…

I’ve always love dove. Let’s make a very simple hand and footprint dove today

Hand and Footprint Dove

Draw the outline of your palm on a piece of white paper

Draw the outline of your foot on a piece of white paper

Cut them out

Dot some glue on the hand cut out

Paste the hand cut out onto the foot cut out

You’ll get a flying dove

Use marker to draw a dot as the eye. Dab some glue on the dove

Paste the dove onto a piece of black sugar paper

Oh yeah, cut a beak out of a brown felt and paste. I framed up my dove and it turned out beautiful
