How to make your own decor pencil case

Last week we decided to make our own decor pencil case. And here are the materials that you need:
~About 2 tubes of pink and 2 tubes of white decor cream. (I got mine from Diaso)
~A pack of decor resin decorations
~A pencil case (also from Diaso)

And here is how you make it. 
1. Get all your materials ready.
2. Trace an outline of your pencil case on a piece of paper, and arrange the decorations to visualize how it would look like.
3. Put on the star tip (provided) and pipe pink and white cream in alternation until you cover the pencil case.
4. Use a toothpick and swipe the decor cream to create a pattern.
5. Carefully place the decor resins on top
6. Add embelishments to finish.
7. Pipe stars with the white cream on the entire border of the pencil case to finish.
8. Let it to dry for at least a day and we are done!

Piano made with Hama/Perler beads

My daughter made a 3d piano with perler beads and gifted it to her piano teacher.  She was delighted to receive it.
We watched a YouTube video tutorial of it. You can find the video here. You have to do layer by layer and assemble them together with white craft glue. We went Diaso and bought a display box and glued the piano and chair onto the base.

My Melody amigurumi doll

Not sure how I came across this crochet book online and couldn't resist buying it! So I started to make my own My Melody doll from scratch. I took around 3 days (casually doing it here and there when I have the time). The instructions were easy to understand and accurate. Definitely a sewing project that doesn't take too long to complete. And I have posted below on where you can get the book.
And here is the one that I made! About 6 inches tall and it was absolutely adorable. Click here to get the book at Book depository if you are interested.
