Summer has hit Manila, and kids need something to do! I’ve recently been asked if The Friendship Bracelet Book was still available. I did some research, and found all the places you can download the craft books from. Yay! I’m finishing up a few more mini-zines, so just keep an eye out here on the site!

  • Tutorials, ♥
  • Oct 31, 2014

I regularly hold Pressed Flowers workshops, and each participant gets a printed copy of my Pressed Flowers Mini-Zine (available on iBooks, Etsy and the I TRY DIY Shop). I’ve been asked if I have the zine printed somewhere. Of course not, silly. I Try DIY. Here are two ways you can print and bind books or mini-zines yourself!

I Drew Something!

  • Crafts
  • Sep 5, 2013

I can’t draw, even if my life depended on it. Save for a few A-for-Effort drawings on the game Draw Something, my skills rival those of a five-year-old. In an effort to push myself and try out new things, I decided to attempt making a one-pager manual for a basic paracord bracelet design.

I even went so far as using one of my own fonts!

Here’s what I came up with! A quick guide to making the cobra stitch with paracord. I’ll be adding this with every paracord purchase from the store!

Oh, and pin away!
