Hairpin organizer



Completion date: November 2017


I was growing my hair long and needed hairpins to hold up my hair if I tie it up. As there was no table near the basin, I found another way to put my hairpins. 


This solved a number of problems,

  1. This saves the trouble of getting my pins from my room, then to the washroom, and vice Versa. 
  2. The hair ties are easier to pick up then they are on the table. 
  3. The hairpins are also easier to pick up individually as they are not on top one another. 
  4. I can also hang my hairdo tool too. 


I must say I got this idea from Pinterest, and I have modified it with suction cups and beautiful masking tape. 


So what I did was...

  1. Cut up a 2mm thick cardboard
  2. Cut a piece of magnetic stripe
  3. Take a 1.5-inch thin masking tape, and wrap around the cardboard with the magnetic stripe. Note to wrap with the tape slanted. 
  4. Punch 4mm/5mm holes to the sides. 
  5. With the suction up hooks pointing 45 degrees away from each other (upwards), install the hair accessory organizer on the wall. This way, the organizer stays in place even if you tick up the organizer by accident.

Star cushion

Completion date: Jun 12 2020 Steps 1. Trace the star shape onto the fabric.  Double over the fabric.  Apply pins to secure the edges.  Cut out. 2. Install a platform on the sewing machine.  3. Whenever I need to turn the fabric I place the needle down on the fabric before turning the fabric.  Sew until I get a 15 cm opening. 4. Flip the fabric inside out and put the foam filling inside the star cushion.  Bind off the opening by hand sewing. My daughter requested for a star cushion.  I recycled filling of a foam-type cushion into this one.  This was the first time I used a platform.  The table was not long enough but I put something underneath to support the platform.  She was pleased with it though it wasn’t pink as she originally requested.  Below in the picture was her little hand!
