Wesite Reveiw! (yay!)

Hey, Priscilla and I have been having a VERY SERIOUS TALK, and we have decided, as a new feature for Happy Hamburgers, to add super awesome websire reveiws! Awesome!

To start off this feature, I have taken the liberty to write a post about a little, lovely website called Frankie. (www.frankie.com.au)

Frankie is in fact an Australian magazine, which focuses on craft, music, fashion and loads more interesting things! What I am reveiwing is the magazine's WEBSITE. Just so you know.

Like the magazine, the Frankie website is very beautiful. As soon as you hit 'enter', you are face to face with a whirl of bright colour and floral print. Trust me, it is very nice!

The website mainly contains stories and extras from the magazine, which currently looks like this:

Its nice isn't it? This issue was, in fact, the 50th issue, so the cover was beautifully made and textured to look and feel as if it were embroidered. Frankie.com has a little icon with an image of the current issue. If you click on it you get a little sneak peek! You can also access bit from previous issues, subscribe, shop online, download snazzy wallpapers, sign up to their e-newsletter and find them on Facebook and Twitter!!!

All mixed together with a generous amount of pretty pictures, like these:

Pencil tins + How To Make Them! (yay)

Check out these really sweet pencil holders I made on the weekend! If you like them too, here's how to make 'em!

Difficulty: (=^;^=) (=^;^=) (=^;^=) 3 out of 5 kitty cats

FOR THE TWO SMALLER ONES:

U will need:

Two baked beans tins

Some brown butchers paper (or a brown lunch bag!)

Some pretty patterned paper (i used pink leopard print and white/yellow zigzag paper)

Double-sided tape (you can get this at most craft stores!)

How To Make Them:

1. Using a tape measure, measure the width around the tin. Then, using a ruler, measure the height of the tin.

2. Cut the brown paper to these sizes. TIP: Cut off a little bit extra just in case!

3. Cover the tin in brown paper by wrapping it around the tin. This might be a little bit tricky!

4. Do the same with the patterned paper, but make sure it is cut half the height of the tin.

5. Stick it on the top half of the tin, over the brown paper. Voila!

FOR THE BIGGER ONE:

U will need:

A large tin (like a Milo tin)

Patterned paper (I used floral!)

How To Make It:

It is exactly the same as the smaller tin, except you don't need the brown paper and the tin will obviously be bigger, so the paper will need to be bigger too!

Cute!

Very cute One Direction cartoon which I drew myself!
I swear I didn't trace it, although I got the idea from the original pic on the interwebs.

Badge hats are COOL!

What was once a small hobby suddenly turned into a HUGE COLLECTION!
My vast collection of badges needed a home, so I stuck 'em on a hat!
I remember once going down Brunswick Street (Fitzroy) and seeing lots of people staring at the 'thing' on my head.
Well I don't care! I love my badges and I am proud of them!!!
If you would like to start a badge collection, you can pick some up from pretty much any market for around $2.
BADGES RULE! yolo

My Pinboard + How To Make One!!

THIS IS MY PINBOARD!! I love it alot, and it inspires me to do AWESOME STUFF!!
If you think my pinboard is pretty snazzy too, HERE IS HOW TO MAKE ONE!

Difficulty: (=^;^=) (=^; 1.5 out of 5 kitty cats

U will need:
A cheap pinboard, which you can get from a craft store or a discount store (I got mine from Spotlight for about $10! Love a bargain!)
Some stuff that inspires you and can easily be stuck onto your pinboard.

How 2 Make It:
1. The first step is definitely the most fun! Here you have to decorate your pinboard with all your crap (haha kidding, I am sure your stuff is lovely!) See below for some ideal objects to put on your board.

2. Now all you have to do is secure it to a wall with some picture hanging strips which you can find at craft stores or maybe even supermarkets, I think! If you can't decide where to hang your board, see below for ideas!

PLACES TO HANG A PINBOARD:
Above your desk
On your door, so you can be inspired when you wake up!
Above your bed (but make sure you secure the board well because you don't want it falling during the night! Ouchies!

THINGS TO PUT ON A PINBOARD:
Feathers
Photos of your buddies and family
Origami (if you look closely, you can see an origami penguin, heart and windmill on mine!)
A dream-catcher (I love these!)
Neclaces (they add a bit of bling!)
Perfume samples (sounds weird, I know, but at least they smell good)
Ribbons (this could mean the present-type ribbons or the award-type ribbons. Or both!)

By Alice

Spotty Nails!
I did this while on holiday in Daylesford

This was really fun to draw. And it is very colourful!
I am planning to give it to my Aunty as a house-warming gift.

More Macrame! By Alice

Even though this top may look like a bit of a fail, it was so much fun to make!
(Even though it only took 10 minutes!)
By Alice & Priscilla

My mum actually did this French Plait in my hair.
Okay, so this isn't exactly craft, but its still really cool!
By Alice (& her mum)

This is what I call a Grafiti Crane.
After my cousin taught me how to make them, I was hooked!

I am pretty much addicted to making these macrame bracelets!

I swear I did not trace it from anything (totally frehand!)
