How was your Christmas? Mine was great! The best part for me was giving away presents and see the smile on the receiver’s face. This year, I hand painted seven different coloured t-shirts using fabric paints. They were all amazed when they realise that I made the presents myself. I love the fact that the shirts are one-of-a-kind. Others appreciate the fact that I took the time and effort to make something instead of buying something off the shelf.

It made me thought that if we have the time, we should make something for someone. My next project would be making tote bags from tank tops! (Yes, Christmas is over but New Year is near and birthdays happen often!). I was elated when was looking through Tanks for 5 and saw them mentioning about turning a tank top into a tote bag.

Crafty Nest blogged about how to make a tote bag out of tank top. The instructions seems easy and the supplies are not hard to find. The minimal you need is a tank top, straight pins, water-erasable fabric marker, sewing machine and thread, scissors, seam ripper and a ruler. With just that, you can create a tote bag! We found some tanks tops from Tanks for 5 which cost only RM 5 per piece. The only problem is that the tanks are t-back. I’m wondering how I could alter that…

Last Saturday, there was yet another bazaar held at 3K Inn. The Xmas Bazaar was organised by Ablinc, a blogshop.  There were Christmas decoration all over the place and Christmas songs playing all day long (though the music were drowned with the noises of shopping by midday).

How was it?

The turn out was good. 3K Inn is spacious enough for 40 vendors and there were plenty of parking place too. As it was indoor, there were no worries that the weather will turn bad. Nobody likes to shop in the heat.  Oh, there’s A&W nearby so tired shoppers can have a seat and get some food there.

Things we’ve found

Here are some of the things we found at the bazaar:

#1 Funky necklaces from Frugal Mugal. They have plenty of vintage bags for ladies. Who would have guess that the blogshop is set up by two guys!

#2 Sunnies for RM 20. Also from Frugal Mugal

#3 Beaute Mart shops for cosmetics in the US. We like this concealer in a cute pink rose box. It functions as a keychain too.

#4 Beaute Mart has other cosmetics in store with brands such as Sephora.

#5 Sequin dress from Lust Fashion selling at RM 50. What a steal!

#6 Handmade photo frames from My Decor Art

#7 A rack full with tank tops from Tanks for 5.  They’re only RM 5 per piece!

#8 Feather headbands for RM 15. Baby Be Dazzled

#9 Bib necklaces. Also from Baby Be Dazzled

#10 Shoes from Ablinc

#11 Bags, bangles and cincher from Vivace Cabin

#12 Vintage earrings from Feliz De Moda
