Hi hapict,

Same to u too!

 

[sandrababe]

wow huiz

v nice lei ur AP box...yup i got the laces and flowers from Spotlight.
basically just make some holes on the box and stick the roses stalks into the box and then glue the bottom... quite easy to do it...
i made some corsages too..

 

[huiz]

Hi hi hi Sandra.

I've made my corsages too

....

Hi Huiz and Sandra
Your AP boxes are lovely.

Where did you get the boxes ? I went to spotlight recently but didnt see any of that size.

Kindly advice.
Thanks

 

[huiz]

Hi CG,

U do not need to go far to get a box

Just get one of those boxes that hold the reams of A4 paper from your office. Wrap them up nicely and no one will know what's underneath. Saves $$ too

 

[cornwall]

Hello Huiz
wow ok.. I didnt know that!
Thanks alot .. I will go scout for one on monday.

Cheers,
C

Hi Huiz,

Your corsages look lovely...can i know where u get those flower? Other than these 2 color is there any other color? Oh and the leaves too....

Pls advise...

 

[huiz]

Hi hippoeyore,

Err, these flowers (and therefore the corsages) cannot be bought anywhere. I made the whole thing myself. How many do u need?

 

[hippoeeyore]

wow huiz....very nice leh!!

No lah..thot can DIY more meaningful. Nvrm i go and source around for other flowers.

Thanks yah.

 

[huiz]

hee thanks for the compliments

There could be some good ideas on DIY wedding crafts on the net that u can check out. www.offrays.com have good instructions on making DIY ribbon roses. Perhaps u can get some DIY ideas from there too

[iceydragon81]

wow all the ang pow boxes are very nice! i found a box, squarish size and wrap using red wrapping ppaer, glossy type. but after seeing so many designs, i will go buy some cute stuffs to add on to the box .. hehe

 

[georginat]

for sharing...I did the ang pao box myself..the ribbon and flowers from a store at Arab Street, the butterfly from K-mart, Perth and the box from Malacca..all in all it costs about $15

 

[huiz]

Hi Georgina,

Did u go to this corner shop at Arab Street that is selling lotsa ribbons at wholesale prices? Great place that is

Did u make the roses or got them ready made from the shop? Think they do sell ready made roses too

Btw, did u get the box from Mahkota? Think I saw something like that there

 

[georginat]

HI Huiz,

yes, i bought from the store at the corner (nearer to beach road) of Arab Street. The flowers are ready-made. Yes!! i bought the box from a gift shop at Mahkota and it costs only RM8.90 !! quite a big box actually ..hee hee so can put more ang pao !!! haha!!!

 

[huiz]

Haha,this is such a coincidence. I frequent the Arab St ribbon shop and also saw the box at Mahkota when I was there visiting my ILs last week. I was lazy and stingy though. Just took those boxes that contain the reams of A4 paper from the office and wrapped them up as my box that u see above ;-P

 

[stepford]

Hi.... may I know where is this Mahkota shop?

 

[huiz]

Hi Stepford,

I am not sure of the name of the shop. But I do know that there is one on the ground floor, a corner shop. Keep a look out for this one that has a few chinese bridal figurines on display in the cabinet facing the main walkway. I suppose there should be other gift shops on the other levels too.

 

[georginat]

hi stepford,

the shop where i bought the box was from Shiok Novelties, Mahkota Parade, forgot which floor, but i think its on the ground floor..


Huiz, you made a very nice ang pao box, bigger than mine !!!

 

[stepford]

Thanks Georgina and Huiz... I desperately need an ang bao box and this is really last min! Will go tomr to take a peek. ;-)

 

[huiz]

Hi Stepford,

U going to Malacca for a short getaway tomorro? Enjoy!

 

[stepford]

Wait... u mean that Mahkota Parade is in Malacca????

 

[georginat]

yes, stepford !!! Mahkota parade is in malacca..i was there holidaying in sept and i saw the box , i liked it so i bought it there !!!

you can get boxes from a few places , like concourse, book stores, i think paperchase at borders have... or else can take one A4 paper box and wrap it with nice wrapping paper

 

[huiz]

Yes, Mahkota is in Malacca. Oops, sorry Stepford for not clarifying earlier. For a moment I thought u are going there for a short holiday over the PH ;-P

Yah, I think Kalms also have some nice boxes. Another place to go is Ikea. Their boxes come in round ones too and are really very classy looking

 

[stepford]

hohoho... I'm so blur. Thanks for the info! My wedding is a wk away so you can tell by now, I'm super desperate. How's your preps coming along?

 

[huiz]

Hi Stepford,

My AD is still sometime to come, so I am still in a very relaxed mode now. But I have got most of my wedding stuff done, i.e. the AP box and the corsages.

There's some nice boxes on sale in the forum here. U can try those if u don't mind

 

[jaspire]

Hi Huiz,

How do you do the corsages? It is very unique and beautiful!~

 

[huiz]

Hi Jaspire,

Thanks for the compliments

I crocheted the flowers and assembled them into a corsage

 

[elias29]

Hi girls,

Any idea where to get cheap couple bears to decorate for ang pow boxes?? A4 size is it abit too long? Possible to cut 1/4 off and wrap as a square box??

 

[huiz]

Hi M&M,

I think the length of an A4 box is ok. But I find the height kinda too tall oredi. so u might want to consider cutting it a bit shorter

 

[elias29]

hmm, okie. Hopefully it will turn out nice..keke. It will be my 1st time doing ang pow box..but need to racky where to get the materials.
Do u all wrap with wrapping paper or cloth? Do u all tape the cover to the box? or can just use a ribbon to tie round it as decoration? I tot of getting my box from Daiso but dunno will the cardboard be too hard to cut the opening anot. Maybe have to drop by to check it out.

 

[huiz]

I wrapped by box with brocade and satin cloth. In order for the cloth to stick nicely on the box i.e no creases I used spray glue. The cloth was held down very nicely. If u wrap with paper, then there's no need to use spray glue.

I did not tape the cover down so that it'll be easy to open up to retrieve the APs. Don't want to destroy the nice box ma

 

[elias29]

Okie, thanks Huiz for your info. Looks like u know what to use, etc. Professional siah..keke. I will go hunt ard for nice materials & box.

 

[huiz]

Errr, no la, where got professional? hehe... I just like to meddle around with craft stuff so I "trial and error" to see what's best lor
