Twisted Tissues



You know the tissues you normally stuff in your gift bags? those thin papers? sometimes you might get them in the box when you buy a pair of shoes? (depends where) well, there's plenty to do with them. dont throw them away! and no more stuffing them in your gift boxes or a bags. twist them instead!



You dont need much to decorate your gift boxes or gift bags. just a tad bit of that thin tissue paper. it helps if you have coloured ones. try crumpling it just a liiiitttle bit before you roll them into a flower. twist the ends to make it like a stem so that it'll be easier for you to tie them onto your bags.



I used a recycled white bag, got it from the chip shop! add your flowers and bring some life to the bag! no more going out to get ribbons or tying a bow!



Of course you can! keep on trying!

Hello Zaza,

Keep in touch.

mamafami: bukan creative namanya.. tak ada kerja cari kerja!

ernie: actually my hands cant stay still for even a min! i am not creative.. altho ambition is to be one. hehe. next time, before you throw something, tengok dulu if it can be recycled!! will try to post more. insyaallah when we're back, we'll try to meet up ya?

yaya: you think ada orang nak masok my shop ke? i doubt it! the white vase tu senang je buat! and they're really cheap!! try it!

nina: i love reading through your blog. i really ought to be a little bit more adventurous in the kitchen and try cooking us some healthier food! we will definiely keep in touch! next time round whenever you're down south, give us a shout! ;)

anzed: aidan's hobby now is to tarik tissues out of its box!
wedding favours? i used to live, eat, breathe them! ;) tonnes to do! but first you have to think of what you want to give e.g sweets, pot pouri, dodol, telur? once dah decide on that, then decide on the base e.g bakul, kotak, kain etc... and then the decoration. do you guys want to make them yourselves or nak beli yang dah siap? there's tonnes in the market!
(p.s: baby n dah baik demam?)
