Passport or Book Cover Tutorial
Whee!!~~~ I’m leaving for Japan in another 24 hours! But before that, here’s part 1 of 12 tutorials I promised. You can use this tutorial to make a passport cover or any other book covers. It’s all hand sewn, no machine involved. It’s easy, I promise!
Here’s a photo of my completed passport cover:

Oh no, I’ve blown my cover! Yes, I admit to visiting Xiaxue’s blog as much as I don’t like her in real life (because she likes to act diva and snobbish, rude fella who walks into someone else’s office yakking away on her phone disregarding everybody else), you gotta admit her blog is rather entertaining with lots of photos (I don’t like wordy blogs). I found this video very helpful and useful to those who never knew the existence of epoxy: forget “elephant glue”!
I didn’t write this tutorial, she did. Enjoy…
P/S: Not all Singaporeans speak her kind of English. For the really lost ones, Singaporeans do speak English. No, I’m not using a translator and no, Singapore is not in China! 
Recycling Polaroids
I got tempted to bring out my Holga Impulse after seeing Yen’s polaroids. Failed to capture Hikki under the 2feet minimum distance ($4 down the drain) and another useless photo of my Hello Kitty fabric (add $2). So I decided to recycle my polaroids by doing some magazine montage! All cut-outs from project smitten magazine #3.

Flip through your magazines and cut out pictures that you like. Arrange them on the polaroid until you are satisfied with the final outcome before you start pasting. Doodle as you like and viola!
