New Holiday Gift Wrapping Video: Newspaper Money Enclosure

It’s hard to believe that 2011 is over less than a month!

This year, I’ve dedicated to introduce a series of holiday gift wrapping videos, and it’s been a lot of fun making them.

My newest video is how to create a cute santa clause suit money enclosure using newspaper. This is also a perfect gift wrapping idea for concert or opera tickets, checks or any other similar items. Hope you enjoy!!

Please subscribe my channel for the future craft videos! :)

Freshen Up Your Gift-Giving by Chopsticks NY

It’s holiday….the most popular gift giving season!

Chopsticks NY, only English magazine in the east coast to provide the best information on “all about Japanese culture”, asked me to join this month’s issue for an article, “Freshen Up Your Gift Giving.”  The article talks about gift choices, manners for gift giving, the ways to boost the value of the gift. I contributed the ideas to wrap your gift in simple, easy and fun way using recycled materials.

If you’re in NYC, Chopsticks NY magazine is distributed to 420 locations in the city, including many Japanese/Asian restaurants and grocery stores.

T-Shirt Pochette

This week’s eco-craft for NY Japion is “T-Shirt Pochette”.

In this video, I show how to create a cute pochette (small bag) out of an old T-shirt.

My video editor picked the perfect song for this craft video, but unfortunately, we couldn’t use the song due to copyright issues :( Maybe we should start composing our own songs….!! This is a learning process for me as well in terms of all the rules and regulations….oh I hate those words….

Anyway, I plan to upload many more videos in future. So make sure you subscribe to my youtube channel! :)

今週のクラフトは、Tシャツを使って作るポシェットの作り方です。

9月、と言えばアメリカでは新学期が始まる時期で、皆さんクローゼットの整理もしますよね。夏に着回したお気に入りのTシャツを捨ないで秋に活用できるポシェットに作り替えちゃいましょう。今回はエディターさんの体調不順や、音楽のコピーライト問題等でかなりひやひやもんでしたが、何とかビデオ、出来上がりました。:)
