Project Iewnihc 1 was ripping off my old jeans and stitch myself a chalkbag:

Project Iewnihc 2a, was getting rid of my old clothes and unused belongings which have been faithfully collecting dust for me, haha. Rearranging my closet took donkey years, arranged into like colours, which I found I’ve quite a wide range of colours. From the common blacks and whites, to pink, red, yellow, orange, brown and to the cooler purple blue and green. But usually I stick with my tees… man… I’m dull I know! From the outside only… hehe
So what’s 2b?
Before that, are you wondering my am I so free these days?! Having my sem break of course! And decided not to work anymore… Just realised from Form 5 till last semester, I haven’t stopped working or studying. So it’s time to lay back and relax!!! wooo hooo!
Back to 2b! I have boxes of jewelleries. And it seems like it will keep piling up unless until I arrange them properly, plus each time when I look for the one that I want to put on, I have to go through those boxes, if I’m lucky I’ll find it on my first go. hehe.
I chose the coolest box I have. In fact it is a box for moon cakes!

Dismantled the partitions.

Nailed the interior.

Any idea what is this tumbuk tumbuk thing called?
Couldn’t recall… lol. Anyway, I couldn’t find my hammer to HAM the nails… So my mom suggested this. haha. Really ancient way to nail things, I know!

“Hi! I’m from Zaman Batu!!!”

Prior to spraying I sealed the part that I would want to have a different colour.

Make sure it is well sealed!

Placed cello tape on the head of the nail. To keep the face clear of colour, so the glistening effect of the nail would stay. Trust me, it’s tedious, but you won’t regret!

This is it!!! I wanted to choose red at first! But I think it’s too hot for me, haha.

Chose lilac instead!

Let it dry under the hot sun. =]

Ta Dahhhh!! My masterpiece.

I had wave profiles painted on some parts.

Shiny nails.

Now time to place my jewelleries :::::

Exterior

What do you think?! I’m lovin’ it~

I need to find another nice box though, to fit the others.

Anyway, have a great moon cake festival this Saturday!

Happy reusing your moon cake boxes!!!

Cheers~
