Projek kerja kayu bersama anak-anak di hujung minggu

I've always loved woodworking. It reminds me of the good times I had with Arwah Atuk helping me with Kemahiran Hidup projects.

Lepas pergi Pesta Bina tahun lepas, selalu juga cakap dekat Daddy, "Jom lah buat kerja kayu dengan the Bees." Daddy memang ada kebanyakan peralatan kerja kayu di rumah termasuklah circular saw dan drill. Cuma masa saja lah yang tak berapa nak ada.

Akhirnya, beberapa minggu lepas, kami berjaya mencari masa dan semangat untuk melakukan projek kerja kayu dengan anak-anak. Kami ajak juga kawan rapat mereka untuk buat bersama-sama.

Seronoknya bertukang di Pesta Bina, KitaBina Maker Space!

Beberapa minggu lepas, kebetulan kami sekeluarga ada di Kuala Lumpur. Lepas tu ternampak ada rakan yang berkongsi tentang satu aktiviti yang menarik yang anak-anak boleh turut serta iaitu Pesta Bina di KitaBina Maker Space yang terletak di Subang Jaya.

Pesta Bina ni aktiviti untuk buat projek pertukangan (woodworking) yang simple sambil belajar asas kerja kayu dalam masa satu jam sahaja! Nak tau lebih lanjut? Jom baca!

Aktiviti hujung minggu - DIY Kraf Handbag Kain Felt

Setelah lama tak buat aktiviti dengan Balqis, hujung minggu lepas akhirnya berjaya meluangkan masa sedikit dengan Balqis untuk buat aktiviti DIY.


Kit DIY ni sebenarnya dah lama dah ada kat rumah, sejak musim Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang awal-awal lagi. Tapi sebab banyak buat aktivit lain, lepas tu ada fasa-fasa Mummy malas-malas nak buat aktiviti, hehe, jadi asyik tertangguhlah.


Hujung minggu hari tu, Mummy tanya Balqis nak buat aktiviti tak? Seronok dia nak buat aktiviti DIY Non-Woven Handbag dari kain felt ni. Lepas tu alang-alang tu, kita buat video sekali. Dah lama juga tak buat video Balqis ber-DIY.

DIY Kids Art & Craft at Craftomon's, MyTown Kuala Lumpur

Craftomon's by Open Playschool is a children activity store in MyTown shopping mall, Kuala Lumpur. The Craftomon's store is located at Level 1, in front of the escalator near link bridge to IKEA.

We stumbled upon this store while we were there and Balqis requested to do some painting. There are a lot of art and craft activities to do there.  Some of the DIY arts and craft things that you may purchase to bring home, or do it there at the store are key-chain, fridge magnet, coin banks, photo frames and many more.

Of course we like this store. Even though both of us are from science background, we always encourage Balqis to do arts & crafts. And she herself likes to do all those painting, cutting, doodling.

The kitchen cabinet project

My love for DIY stuff broadened from just making handmade card, simple handcraft, beading my own wedding dress or scrapbooking to home décor and furnishing. After the kononnya successful DIY projects at home, which I call Projek DIY AminJulia 1.0 and 2.0, I asked husband for more DIY projects. So we decided to do a makeover to our old cupboard to a simple kitchen cabinet to place our some still-in-the-box wedding gifts.

Yes, we did our projects including painting in the living room. -____-"

The bookshelf project

When we first moved to our new home, we didn't really fill it up with furnitures and cabinets and extra decorations. We only brought the furnitures we already have, the ones we bought when we were renting in Puchong, Selangor. We were kinda tight on budget as we needed to prioritize i.e. the grill, awning, tiles etc. So after weeks and months, we started to think about decorating our home sweet home. As the books were brought from the old house are  a lot, therefore, one of the important furniture that we need to set up is a bookshelf. And man, nice bookshelves are not that cheap! So we came up with the idea to do it ourselves using old, unused cabinet and shelves.

Basically we have three different cabinet and shelves. One is the green DIY cabinet bought at hypermarket and another two are the IKEA white shelves. Since the study table which would be placed near the cabinet is dark brown in color, we decided to paint our bookshelf dark brown too.
