New Years Giving~ UPDATE FINAL 29 Jan 2010 + little request

SO! will this event take place? =D
percentage? XD

HAII~ It's arranged~ club members, you have to make something because it is so much better than bought gifts! You can use the ideas given or search around for another idea!
Hmm, I guess it would be easier to combo it with the Amazing Race event, I like the pass the parcel as well~

Rawwwwwwwwr I have no artistic skills

YOSHA! time to get thinking and making
pass the parcel is awesome
but the thing is we all get to touch and see the present
.. for some reason it seems unfair thats all
cos of people's different thinking.. not saying that we're stingy or anything
but yknow.. it happens unintentionally

I am definitely going to make papercraft too~ (spies the Mayoi model)
Hmm I know what you mean Danny! And if we are going to make paper-craft as gifts, I don't want people squishing it...=.=

I give up papercraft is impossible, any other ideas?

Origami isn't bad, there is no glue involved!
Sewing~
Beading
Making keyrings/stickers
Modelling clay

I thought of something! If we do make the pass-the-parcel giving style, maybe we should have a size restriction and make everyone put the present in the same kinda box (size and shape) with different wrapping paper! That would solve the big box small box issue.

Yeah good idea, but who's going to bring the boxes? Anyway I found some things that I can make (not origami, they're kinda like childrens toys made from paper, it's more interesting than it sounds)

hrmmm yeah.. the problem is we all having the same boxes if we do pass the boxes..
i guess you could give the measurement of a suitable size..
and we'll try to find boxes around that size ourselves.. maybe if slightly bigger or smaller should be okay .. hows that?

Yep, I figured it would be hard to find boxes exactly the same size...I am going to have to get measurements and stuff...so far, box should be square-ish.

alright.. just post here when you're able to get the measurements of the cube 8D
we'll try and find similar size box to that measurement =)

I have an urge to steal Vincent's idea! *cough 100 paper planes cough*

It seems like I'm running out of ideas as of late, but I think I will just go with something simple and attach a random anecdote to convey its existence!

ah thats a good idea, 100 paper planes

LOL! i wouldnt mind having that as a present.. 100 planes.. wanna hang it on my ceiling 8D
lols.. imagine 3 people giving 100 paper planes.. or maybe someone should make mini planes and see how much they can make until the event 8D
this is getting exciting
i better go out soon and buy my materials to make my stuff =)

Meh, I've given up on 100planes any other ideas?

clay or blu-tack?.. you could roll into a ball and touch up with paint or something
voila.. kirby hahaha!
i was looking at this kids arts and craft book.. and they made like a telescope out of the toilet tubes hahaha.. which was quite funny =P
i guess you dont have to make.. how about drawing or something
a picture frame is easy to make too
get 2 a4 or whatever sized hard cardboard.. one of it cut a rectangle or whatever shape in the middle
then glue/stick the whole sheet + the cut sheet together but leave one side open for the picture to slide in
voila. .frame hahahah.. im just reading this ._."

Play with beads!!!

Gifts are supposed to be unisex Kai, most guys wouldn't enjoy receiving beads... unless they were magical.... are they magical Kai?

i completely forgot about the unisex part.. LOL
hopefully what im making is fine with guys... its quite unisex i guess hahaha
just.. i guess they wouldnt want it on their phones or somewhere ^^""""

Hey you can get those wooden beads and string them together and make it a monk's necklace that banishes evil spirits, sounds pretty magical to me xD

ummm soo... i forgot what was going on but..
was the dimension of the box 20cmx20cmx20cm
or was it open size so whatever size? hahaha!

Oh gosh, now that this event is being bundled with the Amazing Race, we only have less than a week to produce something that has effort all written over it. I'm temped to make a swan by combining a heck load of small folded pieces of paper, but the fact that I still haven't got a clue on how to form the base and body, this is going to be hard work! Paper planes, paper planes, paper planes...

Hahaha I know what you mean but I guess we combined it since it's convenient while everyone is already there
times running out D=
I'm sure you can figure it out haru for the swans and the pieces
I'll try take mine apart and take a pic of how to make the base for you

Haru YOU suggested that we make our own gifts you can't complain now

Hahaha otoha
I think what haru is saying is that the event is so soon and that we don't have enough time ^^"
rather than about making is complicated hahaha
