Ever the task oriented ppl, the duties were delegated with clockwork efficiency. Being the unemployed bummer that i am, i decided to volunteer my "creative help" around considering ppl do have day jobs to be at. wandering our way around the streets of bugis in search of inspiration n materials for "deco", scratching our heads as to wth the latter constitutes, Nad and I had a "are u thinking what i'm thinking moment" after visiting one of the party stores there.
Armed with our newfound creative mojo, idealistic illusions that we were actually creative, courage to start thinking out of the box (quite a feat for one civil servant plus a former gahmen) and a budget of $30, we started scouring ABC-Value for money stores for tools and materials. So here is an atempt to create our version of a Baby Mobile (yes, Nad its not a Baby Chandelier, tho that sounds cute too).
Equipment/Materials need:
- Your mum's clothes hanging pins thingy for drying clothes
- Balloons of ur desired colors, embossed motifs
- Nimble hands
- Dad's fishing string or any nylon strings available at ur friendly neighbourhood store
- Cutesy animal clips
- Nimble Hands
- Someone who's has the stomach to blow them balloons or can be substituted with anyone who naturally has loads of gas/flatulance
- Backup: 1 kg flour
- *cough* semangat *cough*
Next is the tricky part....tying!!! thank god for Nad's nimble hands. The first one:
Disclaimer:
Balloons have a way of not retaining the air you invest into them. So when all gets deflated, raid your cabinets, for mum's trusty packet of flour.
Viola:
Maciam like jemput-jemput can! Love the cute animal-esque clips.
...u may not want to put us incharge of deco....lol.
