Bantal Kekabu (Kapok Pillow)

Finally! I finally managed to finished the pillow project. Only a pillow, one, uno but it took me yearsss to finished it. LOL. Simply because I do not want any debris remain in the kekabu.

The materials I used:

- cotton fabric

- kapok

plus of course sewing machine and a pair of scissors

The kekabu was sold at RM 12/kg - mind you that was few years back =p

The half filled pillow.

And of course the final product.

I managed to have this 1 pillow (50cm x 80cm) and another 2 small (very small ones) for the boys (I have no intention of showing it here as its already stained with designs of 'maps' from many forms of liquid) with some extras.

Yeah 1kg only gets you a pillow but the cost is only like RM 15 with the material (even trough it took me years to finish it).

Duck feather pillow could easily fetch RM50 and that is during sale plus kekabu is much better to rest your head on than polyester.

epoxy paint anyone?

Turned few other powder milk cans into storage containers with my darling's help - detail in this post,

... and further to the first attempt, the subsequent attempt.

He seems keen on spraying other products too. Other products which fall into similar category is acceptable for beginners, ni tidak, dia mau try product ini when i showed him this:

Its epoxy for appliances. I asked him, 'what do you plan to paint it on? fridge?'. En. suami, agak terlalu ambitious mungkin. Someday dear, someday.

Welcome 2012

happy new year

I noticed that I have few posts which falls into home improvement - frugal living category, since its new year, I simply decided to create another blog for the related home improvement and frugal living category. Named mod-living : moderate or modest as we Muslim should be practicing in every single aspect of daily living. *should have created it during maal hijrah not new year =p *
