DIY's: Funky Badges

I just love collecting 90’s badges and pins, until i lost all of it. So since then, i started to make my own badges. Badges are one of my favorite thing to craft! they’re both easy and it only took about 15 minutes. So, let me teach you how to create your very own badges! the fun thing about this DIY is that you can create and design your very own, and i promise you, it’ll going to be so easy.

You’ll need:
1. Unused badges, anykind of badges will do;
2. Glue stick;
3. Scissor;
4. Pencil;
5. Small pictures/stickers/ or whatever you want to stick on your badges.


How To:1. First, create a circle pattern on a paper that you want it to be for the background (just put the badge backward on the background paper and outline the badge circle shape using your pencil) result as shown below

2. Glue the background paper and tape it on the badge, and make sure it doesn't peel off from the badge.

3. Prepare the picture for your badge and cut the background until you have nothing left other than the picture itself. 

4. Glue the main picture to your badge, make sure the picture that you attached fits the badge for the perfect result.

5. And finally, attach your new badges to your denim shirt, your vest, or even your bag!  Go on and make your very own funky badges!

♡Turkiye seni seviyorum♡

this year summer holiday has been the greatest 2 weeks so far, it was tiring at first, i got to grunt about my sore ankle to my mom almost every night, but it was worth it. I LOVE DENIZLI AND TURKEY. the people there are too sweet, not to mention our own country being the most craziest people when it come to bus ride! two new songs that got stuck to my head "bara bara bere" and "yatcaz kalkaz oradyim" i'm not sure about the spelling tho. our two lovely tour guide, hatice and aysegul would play those songs as a mood booster before the performance and after the show. we still hit'd it. there are tears and joy, i don't really got to share tears, except after the gala perfomance, almost everyone were on tears. i love the dorm because they got us some wifi at the cafetaria downstairs  yeay for wifi 

the color of our dorm was pastel pink with baby blue stripes on it. my first impression was cotton candy, it was the kind of building i would see on tumblr, like apartments and motel and such.
we got to visit Istanbul before we went to Denizli by bus for 10 hours, it was quite a road trip. my body kinda hurt and i got cold easily, it was frustrating. Istanbul was amazing, it was filled with lots of flowers! you know i have a thing for flowers. there were building and houses with flowers growing on it walls. it was so nice, made me wanted to go to Greece for some reason. They even sell flower crowns on the street, back in Jakarta, flower crowns probably be drinks and cigarettes. i got to buy two flower crowns, and one of them are daisies! which is lovely. it was filled with delicious turkish ice cream and kebab. Turkey is the land for good looking guys, even taxi driver are good looking, me and syifa would point and look at each other every time we see a good looking fellow. unfortunately it was too much to handle. i was amazed by turkish unique items and print, they're so lovely, there was this lamp that me and syifa got our eyes on, they were SO BEAUTIFUL. i didn't buy it due to the heaviness and fragileness (is that even a word) of the lamp,but syifa bought one, jealous.

Denizli weather was mad, it was striking hot, Istanbul was hot but it was windy which make it okay. Denizli was just hot. i wear flats the other day, and now my foot was more like half tanned and half normal. gross. 

The Festival was amazing and i had so much fun, we performed Indang, betawi, and gaba-gaba, and from the crowd applause, we did a great job. i don't know how well we danced until Ka Nasha told us that someone just offered us Indonesian delegates to perform at another dance festival after the turkish one finished, in Poland! And he told her that they will fund all our tickets and stuff, and he told her that he was interested with out dance and culture because he find it interesting and different. by that he meant we dance excellent. i was so happy and want to take that offer, but then i remember we got euro trip coming up after the festival. sh-a-d.

the last performance was emotional, i pour all of my energy out, and i was pretty satisfied, Indang was my favorite dance by far, and everyone was amused and entertained, so glad, remembering the fact that other participant was a professional dancer, and were just students. but we got treated like professionals, soooo happy. we got to learn the turkish dance as well. it was the most amazing experience i've ever had. last night at the dorm we got our self a t-shirt and a marker, and everyone was asking each other and other countries signature. didn't get all of them, since lots of them rush to the airport as soon as they got home from the open air theater. it was a fun ride, sooo many ups and downs but mostly ups.so sad i didn't get to know all of the participants name tho.
