Muscle tank, Muscle tank! How should I begin?

Recently, my closet has been filled with tons of muscle tanks.

I keep telling myself not to buy any new one, turns out I start cutting my regular tee shirts into muscle tanks, so more tank tops it is.

Here I am wearing the  "TICK ME AND I'M YOURS" tee shirts from TICKaLOOK.com by teelocker.

Well-fitted tee isn't quite my style, so I cut it into a muscle tank.

I like how my mesh bra is showing and fake tattoo peeking through,
gives the outfit a more lay back weekend vibe.

Two months ago, TICKaLOOK.com team and I came up with the idea of sending a "TAL express" care package to street snap TICKaLOOKers.

Inside the care package, you can find a tee shirt from TAL by teelocker, 

lip gloss from Benefits cosmetic (for the girls) and temporary tattoos.
Want to know how it looks like, check out my instavideo.

I was overwhelmed when my friend sent me this photo.

Hong Kong pop star/ celebrity Eason Chen is wearing the men shirt I designed.

In case you are wondering, the shirt says "I am Famous on #TICKaLOOK".

diy fortune cookies

March 14th is the Asian Valentine's day, we call it White Valentine's day. 

You have to return the flavor to the person who open up to you on February 14th. 

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon as well, so I will be sending him a care package. 

To make the package more personal, I like to make him some arts and crafts. 

Last year, I made him the Doodle Jump toy set, this time, I will be making fortune cookie with felt.

This would be the perfect Valentine's day or birthday gift. 

cut felt into circle and glue wire in the center. 

 glue ribbon on top to cover the wire.

write sweet personal message on a white ribbon.

 sew your felt together, leaving the ends open.

insert your message ribbon. bend the wire. 

viola! handmade, non-edible fortune cookie is "baked" ! 

To make a box for the fortune cookie, find your desire take out box template online. 

Print the template on a piece of scrap paper, then place it on top of the colored paper.

keep them in place with clips and cut it with a cutter and ruler.

tips: trace the folding lines with a scissor, it will be easier to fold.

personalize your take out box.

diy: destroy denim cut-off

Voila!!!

I further distressed the denim after this photo, but this is what my finished product looks like.

tips:

- Vintage jeans may seem unflattering.

As long as the waist line and thigh area fit you, you can turn it into an extraordinary cut-off.

- Different tools have different effects. I suggest doing some trials on scrap denim.

- Be a little conservative when you snap the denim into desirable length.

You can always cut it shorter, but you cannot sew fabric back on a awfully short denim.

- The process could get dusty, be ready to clean up after the project to avoid mum's yelling.

Now you can have a one of a kind denim.
