Paper plates rock!

I know paper plates are often used in arts & crafts but this is so awesome! 

Note to readers : I am so deep in my works so this is suppose to be a very short entry but apparently it is not, because this is so awesome!

Note to self : Do not make this a practice, you've got almost-endless deadlines. But this is so fantastically awesome!

It's a habit to have a stash of paper plates in my home, new or recycled ones. My husband and I often take our girls out for quick picnic so I could just grab some whenever we go out. Besides that, paper plates are a great tool to keep my girls busy, so they don't bother their busy mom.

Kids drawing on paper plates, are pretty common, aren't they? But what about, Paper-Plate Polyhedron? See below.

Nurul's journey

Nurul Huda's first order is the handmade paperbags for her akad nikah. Six months later, she put a request for handmade wedding invitation cards for her VIP guests. She liked the idea of using doily papers so much that she ordered another 400 pieces of those for her favor bag tags.

Quoted from her blog,

"Kad kawen VIP pula ditempah dari Warna-i untuk Farhana...

Manakala untuk saya, ditempah dari ArtChetak...
Kedua2 kad adalah mengikut citarasa kami masing-masing....
Saya dah banyak kali berurusan dengan Kak Durra dari ArtChetak..
Setiap kali, hasilnya amat memuaskan...
Dan sebab itulah saya mempercayai beliao...
(Boleh kot nanti utk kenduri cukur jambul ke, anniversary ke..menggunakan khidmat akak lagi...?)

Kita tengok gambaq dulu na...
Pehtu sambung cerita lagi...

Inilah kad2 kawen kami...

3 jenis kad kawen anak Pok Ya...

Kad VIP saya...

Lagi..sebab cantik sangat, letak 2 kali..ngeh..ngeh..."

The reason I'm posting this is not just because of her above testimonial, but because of this...

HER own handmade invitation card!

"Ini pulak kad yang saya buat sendiri...

Designnya adalah bersempena dengan bunga kegemaran saya iaitu tulip...

Kad ini diperbuat dari kertas recycle...
(Kalao sapa2 nak contact no. supplier, boleh emel saya...)
Manakala sampulnya diperbuat dari kertas surih (tracing paper)...
Riben dan bulatan itu menggambarkan tema kami...
Biru dan putih...

Kiranya, bab kad ni, saya sangat puas hati...
Baik yang ditempah atao yang dibuat sendiri...
Kedua2nya menepati citarasa dan tema kami...
Yang paling penting, saya mahukan kad ini diingati oleh sesiapa yang menerimanya...
Saya rasa berjaya kot.. "

She has, indeed!

And nurul, tulips are my favorite too!
