Short Note:
Oh my... My competitors are all really trying hard to campaign for votes. Are you all (my dear friends and readers) worried for me? =) I don't know how to ask for more votes but I know what I can do is blog more and keep you all entertained.

Just keep voting! I need motivations.

Today's lesson.
BANK BAG!

I'm pretty sure most of you have more than one bank account out there. One which you terima gaji. One to pay off your loans. One to save for the rainy days. And another joint account with your love ones.

Meaning, banyak bank book lah!

The thing is... the plastic bank bag that (some) banks give isn't very lasting. Just after few months, confirm koyak already. Or, I'm the only one who's not gentle enough to handle my bank bag with care?

Anyway, I made myself a bank bag using an used envelope wrapped with papers torn from fashion magazine. It looked pretty cool though.

Most people thought it was a picture of a naked lady at the first glance.

As you can see, those are the ad pages.
Fiorucci and Tommy Hilfiger.



The thing is... because it's made of paper... after few months it became buruk again.

So I decided to make a new one again.
Using a different material this time.

Er.. Fake LV?

The above LV bag with koyak handle was a gift given to my mum from her lady boss. I think its a fake one yet the old woman told my mum it's real. Whatever. Real one got so lauyah and fragile meh?

My mum wanted to chuck it away but I kept it and told her I could use it and make something out of it.

So I cut open it...

5 layers!

.. and recycle the fabric.

You must have thought that "I want to make one also, but I don't know how to sew...".

Don't worry darlings, you need not know how to sew! You don't even need needles and threads for this project! All you need is an used envelope (again!) and super glue. Easy right?

I have this habit of keeping used envelopes... actually, I keep all papers and plastic bags just in case. I like to recycle them, thus creating less rubbish to lighten the burden of our dear Earth.

Just cut,

and glue 'em up!

Make sure you have enough fabric to cover up the ugly patches. And also glue it nicely having no crease at all.

- My finish product -

Now I'm thinking if I should add hook or button so that the bank book can be closed properly. But overall, I'm happy with the end result.

LV kali ah... Hahhahahaaa.




I hope it'll last longer than a year.

Happy Trying!

Now you can have your very own customized design bank book. Hello Kitty, skulls with cute ribbon or Gucci prints, your choice! You can even add some blings onto it.. which, I'm too lazy to glue one by one.
