How To Make Your Own Pretty ICING Accessories Display Frame

There were some customers who asked about our ICING Accessories display frames of late. They too wanted to hang up their accessories the same way at home.

So, we'll share how to go about doing one up for yourself back home.

Materials needed:

• Picture frames, we got ours from IKEA but you can get them from elsewhere and just discard the glass covering if there's any.
• Pretty cloth or fabric
• Thick cock board (~1cm)
• Sponge
• Cloth tapes with thick width
• Art glue
• Pins with thick heads so that the accessories can be hung onto them; Cute or pretty ones preferably, like those below.

Steps:

1. Paint or spray paint the frame in a different colour if you prefer. You'll need a steady hand to spray paint. For oil paint, take care to let the many layers of paint dry thoroughly before painting over to avoid creasing.
2. Cut the cock board and sponge to size of picture and use glue to stick on cockboard on the backing first. If you're unable to get a thick cockboard (1cm), do use 2 pieces instead to secure the pins. Glue the sponge such that it is on the topmost layer. Choose a fluffy sponge so that the middle portion pops out.

   

3. Measure the pretty cloth and cut out enough to allow the cloth to cover the front and be folded behind. You can fit the frame backing (with the cock board, sponge and cloth covering them all) into the frame.
4. Tighten the cloth and pull them lightly to neaten the crease and ensure it's adjusted tautly before using the cloth tape to tape down the loosed ends behind.
5. Push your lovely pins in and ta-daa!! Easy-peasy!

You now have your own ICING Accessories display frame at home too! You can even hang them up on your walls! =)

ICING Musical Range of Accessories in Synwin Music

This post is long overdue. I have been wanting to post the pics of the new outlet we're in here.

And here they are:

Synwin Violins @ Marina Square
#03-117 Raffles Boulevard
Marina Square

Jan and myself was captivated by the beautiful store when we first came across it. It is all white and musical and has rows of violins hanging from the ceiling!

This outlet carries solely the ICING musical range of accessories.

And it brought back memories of me wanting to learn the violin as a child...

I love the sound of violin, together with piano. It's a good thing my mother didn't want me to take it up before I master my piano playing well first. I doubt I have the patience and passion to see it through.

But admiring the beautiful violin artwork and the other string instruments in the store is another matter altogether.

So, if you're like myself, it's ok too to drop by and check out the other lovely musical merchandise in store.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of music.

Pressies For Mummies This Mother's Day

Mummies are easy to please. For if you give them something that comes from your heart, they'll treasure it and love it to bits.

What are you giving your mum this Mother's Day? Here's some ICING Earrings that I find suitable for mums. There's more new designs available online now.

And I know my mum will treasure time well spent so I will buy her a meal too.

Do share with us your plan this Mother's Day!

Simply The Cutest Blogger's Template Design

I must share this website. It's called "The Cutest Blog on the Block", how cute can it get?

It's a mix and match concept and real fun to use. First you grab a free background, then a matching banner and lastly, add more extras if you want to.

We're using one of their pretty templates now.

And you can get started on your own pretty blog now too! =)

8tokyo.com Meet Up In Singapore

Just last week, we were invited to the first ever 8tokyo meet up in Singapore, jointly organised by Tricia and the owners of 8tokyo.com.

The hospitality and thoughtfulness of the Ms Yo-ko and Yamada-san really touched us. The event was a blast!

All guests were given a different coloured 8tote bag and individually packed special edition snacks brought over from Japan.

The 8tote bag which maybe coming to Singapore very soon are really easy to match with any outfits. And the best thing is that you can even customized one in the exact colour combination that you want!

There was even a bingo session with lovely gifts like Paul & Joe T-Shirts, Marc Jacobs pouches and such. It got all the girls really excited. Even those who did not "win", walked away with a cute soft toy of their choice.

Ms Yo-ko also shared with us the Tokyo upcoming trends and delicious food because she is a foodie at heart! Of course, we were served lovely treats while they presented the brand 8tokyo.

Thank you for the lovely and thoughtful gifts! We absolutely love them! And most of all, thank you for your time and effort to hold this event, we really enjoyed ourselves!

And a big thank you to Tricia for inviting us too! =)

Meeting like-minded individuals is definitely one of the perks about running your own business.

The event made our day and we are simply thrilled by the "kaiwaii-ness" of it all! **Heart**
