BCOME a last minute ADVENTCALENDER

December is startin tomorrow and you are in need of an Advent calender? How about this very easy last minute TetraPak Adventkalender?
You just need some TetraPak, some white A4 paper or printable A4 sticker, double-sided tape and a cutter ... ok, a printer will be necessary too, but I assume that nearly everybody has one at home.

Download the CutSheet for this Advent Calender and just follow the instructions.

Now, December and Advent may come, I would say!    

BCOME a HINAMATSURI

Today is HINAMATSURI, and for all of you who do not own a set of 雛人形 (,Hina-Ningyo) here comes a last minute cut-sheet to make your own 御内裏様, (Odairi-sama) and 御雛様, (Ohina-sama).


Just cut out the the 御内裏様 and 御雛様 from the BCOME a HINAMATSURI cut-sheet and get a modern version of the beautiful Japanese tradition.


Happy Hinamatsuri to you all !!

BCOME a printed MIZUHIKI CARD

For those of you, who are not so much into cutting round shapes, here is an easy-just-print-out solution to get a modern BCOME 水引 Mizuhiki card.

BCOME a MIZUHIKI CARD

Inspired by some great Japanese greeting cards, I thought that this way of creating a 水引 Mizuhiki is so smart that it is definitely a DIY project!

So for all of you who want to create their own modern Mizuhiki Card, just download the BCOME Mizuhiki Card, print it out, stick some red or pink paper on the back and cut it out with a sharp cutter.

Very easy with a modern but still traditional Japanese result!

BCOME a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY CARD

Happy Valentine to all of you !!

Whether it's chocolate or a rose or just a simple card, your beloved one will appreciate it!

For those of you who need a last minute VDay card, here comes the BCOME suggestion:
Just cut out a simple heart - needless to say, BCOME was upcycling and using a milk carton - fold it in the middle to give it the 3D touch and add it with glue or in case you have got a sewing machine to a card.
Than it's up to you if you want to add a message beneath the heart or write something special on the back of the card.

Showing that you are thinking of something doesn't have to be complicated - and can be so easy. Bring a smile on someones face with a simple heart-card!

BCOME sending out KIMONO PINS

This is how the Kimono Pins get send out ... a bit up- and recycle, very BCOME!

BCOME an ADVENTCALENDER

December is getting closer and closer and you are in need of a Advent calender? How about this very easy last minute TetraPak Adventkalender?
You just need some TetraPak, some white A4 paper or printable A4 sticker, double-sided tape and a cutter ... ok, a printer will be necessary too, but I assume that nearly everybody has one at home.

Download the CutSheet for this Advent Calender and just follow the instructions.

Now, December and Advent may come, I would say!    

BCOME a STAR

Although XMas is not a traditional Japanese event, you can see light illumination and XMas decoration all over Tokyo.

For those of you who want to give their homes a seasonal touch a new BCOME cut-sheet went online.

These white stars made out of simple paper strings are so easy and a wonderful decoration. Hang them from the ceilin, put them simply in a class bowl or vase, add them to a present ... BCOME a STAR and enjoy the upcoming season !

BCOME a TETRAPAK COASTER

All of a sudden Autumn knocked at the door - time for hot beverages ... and coasters to keep your table safe and clean.

Working on another artproject, the BCOME office got 'flooded' with juice and milk TetraPaks ... so it is not surprising, that the BCOME a TETRAPAK COASTER was born.

This BCOME DIY is really an easy one - as DIY should always be - and it will just take you about 30min before you can start drinking your beverage, using your coaster for the first time!

You just need some TetraPak, a cutter and a sewing machine. In case you don't have the latter, a strong tape on the back side will do so too.



01 + 02 Cut the TetraPak in 1cm wide, 10cm long stripes.
03 Braid the TetraPak stripes.
04 Use your sewing machine to sew once around the border of the braided TetraPak coaster - or use a strong tape and fix the border on the back side of the Tetra Pak coaster.
05 + 06 Ready - let's start drinking


(ok - I admit, beer is not really hot ... but the special Autumn beer edition was too teasing ... it matched so well the color of the coaster, so I couldn't resist to use it for the photo)
