2011 Movable Stationary Holders

First batches of movable stationary holders for the year. This time I had tried new designs, adding more animals to the current designs. So far, it seems adorable enough to most. Hopefully it will sell just as well.

 
 
 
 

Mass Production...

For this Christmas season, I made several holders, trying out new designs, and refining the old ones, and trying out new colours... It certainly felt like I'm having a little factory going on. Making a few each, for each animals. My room was littered with cardboard pieces, dust, paints, etc... Haha...

Finally finished with the turtles. Tried to have different designs. Hopefully they will appeal to different group of people. Green colour seems to be still the prefered colour. The green turtles were all sold within a couple of days after they were put up for sales. The red turtle, which I put up last, is the only one left behind.

Another new design is sheep. Both were also snapped up within a day. Was a little concerned that painting the sheep blue might not be accepted. But still, it was sold.

Also get around fine-tuning the Cat design. Added the whiskers, which were kinda tricky to glue to the face. Anyway, think they now look more like cats... Strangely, they weren't as popular as the rest...

And of course, not forgeting to make more of the previous designs of Cow, Giraffe and Bears...

The Christmas sales was surprisingly good. Most of the stocks were cleared. Leaving behind only about 4-5 of them... It was indeed a Merry Merry Christmas...

More Stationary Holders

This new batch of movable stationary holders is my attempt to make the designs much cuter, more cartoon-y. Also my attempt to simplify the making process without compromising the design.

Did 2 different piggy designs.

HOpe this Moo-Moo are cuter than my firsts...

Hope this looks like little Hippos...

Am sure these Giraffes looks much better than my 1st attempt.

Change the bear design to this...

These doggies are definitely much better looking than my 1st attempt... Hahaha...

Recycle Me...

Pleasantly surprised by the support of the public in their willingness to purchase my handmade movable, cardboard stationary holders. Made a few more other designs, and hopefully more to come... Thank you...

Movable Toy Stationary Holders?

I've always loved toys, and I would like to do my part in recycling. Somehow, along the way, I decided to make use of those good cardboard boxes that I've collected, and make them into something useful, yet "play-able". Thus came the idea of making stationary holders that are movable... like toy cars, yet can carry some stuff in it... So made these...

I know they are not perfect, but am very glad that I made them. They are my prototypes, and thus will continue to 'polish' up my skills and hopefully the next few 'toys' will be much better...

Crafted Stationary Holders...

Running along the line of recycling, was wondering what could be done with the tons of magazine, cardboard paper that we used and threw out each day. Thus I came up with the idea of recycling them by making them into something use-able – Stationary holders… The only major setback will be the strenuous process of papier-mache. Not only is it time consuming, it also requires patience to ensure that each piece of paper is properly papier-mache so as to maintain the shape and smooth surface of the product. Nonetheless, the end products were satisfactory. To add to the finishing touch, the products were further decorated with fabrics.
