So many craft, so little time. Indeed.. You hear us say. It has been, always been a busy weekend for Maurice and I. It was fun but very time & energy consuming! Every little details are so important to us, and so last weekend we finally finished one of the major projects/tasks for our wedding props and decorations! Drum rolls.. We are done designing and crafting our “Ang Bao” Box, also known as the “Red Packets” Box. It’s for collecting the chinese custom red packets given by the guest attending the wedding. It’s a tradition for most of the Chinese Wedding. A norm in Singapore Chinese wedding culture.
Presenting to you our garden inspired and “sew in love” wedding theme Red Packets Box. We finally found the thread spool from Art-friend. But it’s the small version and we were so lucky because that’s the one and only pack left! So we went back again yesterday to look for more however it seems they haven’t stock up on that yet. Disappointed. The Moss and Moss Felt sheet were from Art-friend as well. Art-friend has almost everything that you need for crafting.
Initially Maureen suggested that we will use ice-cream sticks as the garden fence but in the end, I decided the cotton crochet lace will do a better job! What’s left for this Red Packet is putting up the right “signs” on the lamp-post. Temporary used a sample card as the display.
Mad love the moss we bought from Art-friend. It’s a bottle for SGD22 and you have various greens and textures to choose from! This project used about 1/4 so we have more than enough left for our small flower pots, our ring pillow display, our decoration boxes and etc! However we advise that before you stick them onto anything, it will be better if you purchased the Moss Felt sheet as the base, so it will blend in nicely.
