Crafting

Since young, crafting has always intrigued me and encouraged me to be a hands-on person in everything.

I came across chances to handmade keychains for personal collection using the heat-shrinking process. The first three design below was a reference from google. It was drawn on plastic film and heated down to a keychain.

After a few tries and experiments with a different type of shrinking plastic to test the visibility and condition of the outcome. Designed a few characters and produce them into a product. In addition to keychains, I also created placards, made scrapbooks, crafted clay figurines, and designed stickers featuring my illustrations.

I personalized my new Crocs slippers with customized handmade jibbitz charms that reflect my hobbies and interests. Carefully cut out the shrinking paper, heat it, and coat it with resin to prevent scratches. Finish by sticking the buckle before attaching it to the shoe.

Scrapbook and Reform photobook.

Removed all pages and reformed each concept photo to relate to the song lyrics and the artists' personalities. This was completed with my friend's feedback and materials during the process.

I received an opportunity to teach the language Chinese to young kids. Ideate ways to make the Chinese characters easy to recognise and remember. I have implemented game strategies to encourage students to memorise in a fun way where they earn rewards based on the number of hearts collected.

Resin

To protect the paint from scratches, a layer of resin finishing was applied to the container for a glossy finish. Experience resin making for the first time. An epoxy mixture was added to ensure quick curing and a polished look.

Resin Picks I discovered the possibility of creating resin without the need for a mold while experimenting. Instead of using a traditional mold, I used a plastic film, cutting it into the standard size of a guitar pick. I combined different colors of glitter to create multiple individual, colorful guitar picks.

Attempt to create more variations of resin without mold and cure it under the sunlight.

Created a resin gift for an event using only two colors of glitter. I mixed and matched the glitter and made resin using a mold. After curing, I grouped the resin pieces into an ideal shape, attaching each of them to into a keychain.

I packaged all keychains and picks into individual packs before distributing them at the event.

Origami Money Cake

Instead of the traditional practice of giving a red packet as a gesture of gift-giving, you can put a unique twist on it to surprise the recipient. A great way to do this is by creatively arranging cash notes in the shape of a birthday cake.

This gift not only showcases creativity but also adds a personal touch to the act of giving. To add even more surprise, the receiver can pull the tip of the candle and reveal a string of connected cash.

Folded flowers in time to celebrate Mother's Day. Research flower folding methods and fold flowers that Mum likes into a bouquet to gift as a gesture of thanks and appreciation to her.

Needlework.

I received a piece of bandana and was tasked with folding it to match the pattern, then sewing it together as a piece before attaching and sewing it on the transparent bag cover.
