DIY Folder 文件夾

Have you found papers in random places? Well, don't worry! Because you can organize your papers and documents with this DIY folder/ expanding file. 

*Warning: while making this, I took little pictures for the steps, and I am not very clear with the steps in this particular tutorial, so good luck!

You need:

-thick and thinner cardboard scraps

   •from anything: shoe boxes, snacks...

-glue, duct tape, or any other strong adhesive

-optional: an idea for a decoration :)

Step 1:

        Fold a thicker sheet of cardboard into a "U-shape" (now referred to as the "shell").

Step 2:

        Add same length/ width sheets to the shell. Connect with glue, duct tape, or any other strong    

       adhesive. Trim the sides to the desired size.

Step 3:

        For the two sides, you can either leave it like an expanding file's sides or a plain side like mine.   

       But still use cardboard or paper.

  

        Expanding file sides: Preferably, use cardstock or hard paper. Fold to    the pattern in the picture below. Glue both sides to the main shell.

Step 4:
        Last, you decorate the whole thing however you like! ~~
You could even connect the cover to the shell with buttons and strings!

DIY Duct Tape Wallet I 寬膠帶皮夾

Part 1 (The Actual Wallet)

This craft is the ultimate duct tape project.

You need:
-ummm... duct tape!
(of the colors you wish your wallet to be)








Step 1:
        Cut 8 strips of duct tape of the desired color (which will be the wallet's color) and to the desired length. Mine was blue, and about 22 cm, or 8.5 in. long.






Step 2:
        Take one strip and stick it onto another, but leave a little space. Then stick on another strip and try to align it with the space mentioned above. Repeat until all 8 strips are used.

        You should place the strips on top of each other AND leave a little white space between 2 strips, so it will be 2 strips–space–2 strips. The end result is at the bottom picture on the right.

        Fold the resulting sticky parts over. Trim off any non-straight edges, if desired, with a scissor or craft knife. Crease the wallet in half on the white space. After creasing, you should get one longer part in the back, and one shorter part in the front.

Step 3 (optional– for a border):

        Cut a strip of another color to the length of the strips, like 22 cm (I used black). Also, cut this strip in half. Use one half to cut off a tiny, tiny piece. Reference the circled part of the picture to stick it on.


        Stick the other half onto the part on the back, but do NOT fold it over yet.

Step 4 (not optional–
unless you don't want the two parts to stick):
        Cut two strips of the wallet's color to the length pictured (the first part's width).

        Stick it onto the sides as depicted below. Fold over, to stick the two parts. Repeat for the other side.

        Now you can fold over the black strip.

Finished the Acrylic!!!

I finally finished the painting of the Taiwan High Speed Rail. This took a long long time!

More Bread!!!

So today my mom and I ate dinner at Panera Bread, the best sandwich shop ever, other than Subway. I personally love Panera Bread. Panera Bread's sandwiches taste more delicious than any other place. Well... because I don't know anywhere else besides Subway, so ya...

Their "Pick 2" is what I recommend here. You choose any sandwich/ panini and another salad or soup. This place seems really healthy.

Class 302 三年二班

Last night my family and I ate some more Taiwanese food! 

This time... it was at Class 302.

      Peanut rice cake 豬血糕

     And... Of course, we ordered STINKY TOFU 臭豆腐!! To most people it sounds gross, and it even smells, well, stinky. But it's actually pretty yummy. I think if you ignore the smell, stinky tofu won't be so bad. 

 Lastly, we ate snow ice. Where I live it's like living in an oven. It's the perfect solution to the hot blazing sun. Anyone jelly?

DIY Folder 文件夾

~~~A DIY folder!!

To make this simple document holder, I used thick cardboard pieces and brown cardboard paper from random boxes. Sometime soon I will post a tutorial for this, but I don't have any good pics of the steps taken to get here. So sorry!

Taiwan High Speed Rail Painting 高鐵壓克力

Recently I've been painting a... PAINTING!! It's not done yet. I used acrylic paint. Acrylic is so awesome! Yeah, and btw, if you didn't know, the train is a THSR train (高鐵)。

This train can go really, really fast. I mean like REALLY REALLY fast. You can get from Taipei 臺北 in the north of Taiwan to Kaohsiung 高雄 in only 90 minutes! So crazy, because if you drive, it takes around 4〜5 hours. 

Comment YOUR suggestions! :)

美而美 Taiwanese Sandwich

I also attempted to made a Taiwanese breakfast sandwich— the Mei and Mei sandwich 美而美三明治。This special sandwich makes me reminisce of Taiwan. Well, that's because I frequently ate the Mei and Mei there.

It consists of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, toast, an egg, ketchup, and mayonnaise.

Compare the above to an authentic one:

(This just shows how horrific my cooking skills are.) It looks really messy and sloppy, but who cares?!  ^.^ 

Breakfast!! 早餐!!

Today I made breakfast myself. It's bread and blueberry oatmeal. So excited to EAT it!

85°C Bakery

Have any of you tried 85°C Bakery? It's SO good! Like really, REALLY good!! 

This bakery is a chain from Taiwan. I love their Danish Boroh Cream (丹麥波羅奶酥).

Hi!!

I don't really know what to post now... So ya... Heyy everybody.
