Turn Skirt Into A Fashionable Dress
by Cecile Cinco
I was rummaging through my clothes, looking for what I can wear on Saturday for Church. When I got one of my long skirts, I was planning to cut off about 10 inches so it’s not too long.
Unfortunately (Fortunately for my daughter), when I held up the skirt upside down, a lightbulb flashed. Ting! There goes my skirt after she briefly explained what she wanted to make me do with it…for her.
This is the original skirt: Continue reading »

by Cecile Cinco
It has been humidly hot for the past several weeks and living in a place where ventilation is quite scarce, it really gets super humidly hot.
For that I found a solution to my house shirts. I got my pair of cloth scissors and cut away my summer shirt! Continue reading »

Crafts, Designs, How-To/Tutorial, Recycled | Comment (0)Turning A Sweatshirt Into An Ad Skirt
by Cecile Cinco
I’m having some technical difficulties with my blog. Good thing I can post now.
Remember my post about turning a shirt into a half slip? Well, last year, I turned one of the old sweatshirts into a half slip because I wanted something opaque. Besides, the sweatshirt does not fit the way I like it, nor does it fit anyone else. No one likes it so I recycled it.
A few days ago, though, I changed my mind. Continue reading »

Designs, Recycled | Comment (0)What Can You Turn Used Notebook Pages Into?
by Cecile Cinco
As I mentioned in my previous post, something was in the making that makes use of used notebook pages, which I just started a few hours ago. I just went on and on until I decided to make a turn, not fully decided on what I’d like to accomplish. When the “fan” formed, I thought it would be a great boquet handler. When I do get some flowers, I’ll take shots of the arrangement but now it’s still on its raw stage as I haven’t varnished it yet to give its earthy feel/look. Continue reading »

Crafts, Recycled | Comment (0)Recycling Water Jugs Into A Raft
by Cecile Cinco
I know it has been a loooooong time. So many things have happened. Typhoons hit. We had to move to another place due to the flood. Sewing machine has not been set up until now since we moved last October. Now I’m trying to do something out of used notebook pages but it’s still in the making.
Let me share, though, the creativity of Filipino people who were hit by the storm and left the place flooded. Since the flood, those whose livelihood depended on tricycle-driving had to do something or else they’ll not eat. Continue reading »

Crafts, Export, Recycled | Comments (2)Make Your Own Refillable Notebook Like Cattleya
by Cecile Cinco
Prices of thick notebooks have gone higher and higher. Yes, they are beautiful but truthfully, you’re paying more for the trademark than for the notebook itself. So, I made my own refillable notebook which most of the needed materials are recycled.
Materials needed:
- paper you would write on, 10 pcs per set, total 50 (I used the 8.5×11 inches bond paper). I do prefer unlined paper and the cheapest clean set would be the plain bond paper.
- hairpins, 10 pcs
- used illustration board (for front cover, back cover, and spine)
- used cloth (I used corduroy cut off from a leg of never-to-be-worn-again pants) for cover
- scrap cloth for design
- string for bookmark (optional) Continue reading »

Crafts, Recycled | Comment (0)Collapsible Multipurpose Side Expander
by Cecile Cinco
Have you ever needed a deep bowl for grapes or berries but instead you just have a plate which is not enough to hold everything in?
When you have finished off the grapes or berries, would you rather have your container collapsible to save on space? Isn’t collapsibility great especially when you have to bring them along like in picnics or just let it stay in your bag so you have something to pull out at the time needed without even taking notice that it is in your bag?
Introducing, my new creation, the Multipurpose Side Expander.
