My First Hime Gyaru accessory

Recently, I fall in love with Hime Gyaru stlye and I learnt several Hime Gyaru DIY ideas from internet.

I sourced for materials and hand made my first Hime Gyaru accessory-hand phone strap.

From Virtual Japan

Hime Gyaru is a fashion style largely depicted as a cross between Gyaru and Lolita. Combining bright colored clothing, dyed dark hair, long eyelashes, and a series of brightly colored accessories, this fashion attempts to bring out the concept of the “princess” in those who dress in it.

Most famous and started in the Harajuku shopping district of Tokyo, Hime Gyaru is best described by the goals of its prescribers, with baggy hair at the top, curls at the base, dyed blonde or brown, ribbons adorning both hair and dresses, velvet clothing from the top boutiques in Tokyo, and embroidery with lace and pearl. Accessories and jewelry along with cell phones, cameras, handbags, and anything else that might be carried is also bought from the top stores and adorned with the most expensive details.

A Gift for Eve & Mike ~ The Reveal of the Love Contract

Now it's time to reveal the Mystery Love Contract that even the bride couldn't see it until it's time for her BIG DAY!

This is a project done for Eve & Mike for thier wedding on 2 August 09.
This project took me one month to design it.



I couldn't find a nice box that fit the contract, so I decided to DIY! I 'kapok' the A4 paper carton box from office and fix it into a box that can fit the contract. It's actually an easy task but carrying the box back is a hassel, I have to dismental it without destroying the box surface and carry bulky cardboard back home and re-fix them.






PS: A small secret. The skeleton of the Contract and the stand were also DIY from the A4 paper carton box. See how useful the carton box is.
