chapter 3 - do-it-yourself crafts

not only can paper plates and crafts be used for eating,... there are lots of other things you can do with it!!!!

yesterday i made a 3 tiered accessory holder with just the paper plates and cups and some masking tape cut into squares,..... i like it a lot cos it is in pink (my favourite colour) and has a cute and pretty illustration of a cloud and crystal magical rain. the cups on the other hand compliment the paper plates cos they are in pink but they have big embossed glitter in gold, light pink and dark pink.

you wouldn't think of paper plates as something really important... they are like wet wipes,... something you don't think of often (other than when you want to throw a party yourself) but is kinda useful and makes everything better,....

i used to join my school's choral speaking club,.... and when we were all travelling to kl for the nationals i wanted everybody's autograph.... with nothing but a paper plate and a borrowed pen,.... i managed to get everyone's autograph... it made me so happy and i kept that paper plate for many weeks,.... savouring all the happy memories we had at the national choral speaking competition.... we ended up getting second place,... which was such an honour!!!!... those were the days,.....

anyway, back to the prime use for paper plates - for holding party food or for picnics,.... remember to bring serviettes for your picnic, or wet wipes!!!! lol awesome and ironic, i was talking about wet wipes earlier and how they are linked to paper plates,....

parties are awesome!!!!

and i have fond memories of paper plates and cups being present at most parties i have attended in school and in my teen years....

do you like parties?

what kind or type of parties do you like??

quiet parties where everyone sits around small tables and cam chat one-on-one???? noisy parties where there is catchy music for you to listen to and to relax with after a long hard day?? parties that serve beer? parties with or without children?? birthday or barbeque parties???? i am sure there are many more categories,.. but what is your favourite party????

wet wipes are something i want to talk about,.... as i said before, they are easy to forget but are quite useful!!! not just for parties, but for everyday life,.... for example, if you have a baby, you need wet wipes or baby wipes, which are the same thing except that baby wipes are sold in bulk, like 50 pulls, whereas wet wipes are for other things and sold in 10's or 15's.... do you know what wet wipes are made of???? they are thicker fibres compared to tissue paper and already moistened with water... some wet wipes have a subtle fragrance added to them to....

now what are wet wipes for???? again i want to reiterate; wet wipes can be used for many occassions, such as after a meal, or at work to clean up spills,... it can also be used to wipe your face to refresh it.... or after your exercise routine,... it can also help cool you down when your body is hot from a humid weather...
