It's Official!!!! I Finally Became Toyoutpost Merchant.

Hi hi, sorry i had been busy lately. I mean really really busy. I was preparing products to be sell at one of the Toyoutpost or Boxboss outlets. Just by comparing these 2 different companies gave me lots of headache @_@.

My lovely readers, if you are staying in Singapore and want to try to sell something or become an entrepreneur check out their website for comparison:

I stay in Yishun and there is Boxboss outlet at Northpoint Shopping Centre. I can save lots of transportation cost if i want to rent a locker there. However, the place were too small and narrow. 

I went to few outlets of Toyoutpost or Hako (Bugis, Jurong & AMK) and also Boxboss (Yishun and Bukit Batok) to do some research and comparison . I need to see the crowd on each location. I also want to know how many people come there, what age range and what kind of products mostly they bought.

Oh for your info, for both Toyoutpost and Boxboss, most of electronics products such as smartphone cases, power bank and accessories are often exceed their rental quota. So, you might want to check with the staff first. Usually they have the fixed locker location for those products (near cashier or near power unit). They both have special rental price for that specific products.

The sizes of the locker for both almost the same. The standard for Boxboss is 40x40x40cm for single locker. For Toyoutpost is 32.5x44.5x43cm. Comes with LED strip lights and glass door, which you can ask them to remove if you feel you don't need one, no extra charge. The extra charge only if you want your locker to have power unit.

The rental fees also varies, depends on which box location you choose. They have island, facade and wall. Also have few rows of lockers. For commissions wise, Toyoutpost charged 8%, while Boxboss 10% from monthly sales. So choose wisely ^_^

After few weeks of consideration and research, i finally decided to become Toyoutpost merchant at Causeway Point, Woodlands outlet. I choose side island with level B, which is the top level.

It's Official!!! I open rent a locker on Toyoutpost outlet at Causeway Point, Woodlands.
I know, the display not really beautiful. But i will fix it next week when i come to restock ^_^
Now, i want to enjoy my moment of happiness.

Fabric Covered Button Earrings

Hi, friends ^_^

I always want to try to make a pair of fabric covered button earring. They are cute and simple. You can mix and match with your wardrobe. 

This is the result.
(Sorry for the blurry photo)
 

Gather all the material:
 I'm using the tool from Daiso. Very cheap, for S$2 you will get the tools, the circle pattern and 15 metal buttons, the finish button will measure 22mm. A strong glue, i'm using E6000. Erasable laundry marker, to draw the circle to your fabric. 2 Scrap fabrics. 2.5cm Circle plate and 2 ear hooks (i don't have flat back ear studs, if you have, you can use them). Another tips: you may want to use circle plate bigger in diameter than your finish button. My button finish at 22mm, therefore i'm using 2.5cm circle plate. And last is scissor to cut out the patterns.

I took out the package. Inside there is 1 button mold with clear color. 1 Red pusher. 1 Card circle template. And 15 metal buttons plus their loop buttons back.

1st: With round-nose plier, carefully take out the button loop. We need a flat back. If your button already have flat back, kindly skip this step.

2nd: With the circle template traced it onto your scrap fabric with erasable laundry marker. Then cut. To make a pair of earring, you will need 2 circles.
(Again, sorry for the blurry photo)

3rd: Push fabric to button mold. The printed side should be face down on top of button mold. Then place button upside down on top of fabric circle.


 You can see through from button mold to see if the printed place nicely like the way you want to.


4th: Place the red pusher on top of fabric and button. Push until you hear "click" sound.

 Gently release the fabric button from the mold. Almost done.

5th: Using a cotton bud or toothpick spread thin layer of E6000 glue (or you can use any type of strong glue). And place button on top of the earring plate (or again if you have flat back ear studs). Let the glue dry. You are finish.

I like the result, and i think i will make more. Hope you enjoy.
