Chair makeover- First timer ( a Tutorial ?)

i love to read about furniture makeover ( sebulan dua nih! )

and few days ago terjumpa thiss blog ...so sori...tak ingat

and there was the tutorial yg dicari2.....

kerusi makeover!

bahan experimen adalah kerusi kecil budak nih...

I hate when this happened..

ok....

Barang2 yg diperlukan:

stappler besar - bole di beli pasaraya ( Mine- Rm 15 )
PU/ Pvc- ( i used PU , a very soft soft one RM18 per 1/2 mtr )
Gunting
Glue Gun
Pemutar skru

Lets begin.......

1. Disassemble

Inspect kerusi.....mine jenis guna skru yg kena putar dalam lubang

Longgar dan letak tepi--

2. Kita mula dengan bahagian seat dulu

Ambil PU dan ukur agak2 keluasan yg perlu dipotong

3. Mula staple pada bahagian tepi ( this is the fun part )

staple..staple...

--- no rush, take your time..

4. Untuk bahagian corner, lipat secara kemas and staple

(hmm...i dont know how to explain this--self exploratory ! )

5. Kemaskan dan seat siap !

6. Lets move on....bhgn body

Saya koyakkan semua PU yg asal, tinggal bhgn sponge shj

7. Ambil PU, terbalikkan dan ukur badan kerusi

Ambil jarum dan sematkan PU kiri dan kanan badan kerusi

Then lukis line kiri dan kanan mengikut jarum tadi

like this...

8. ..and jahit kiri and kanan atas line tadi

KALAU TAKUT TERSALAH KETAT,

LEBIHKAN BASI( seam allowances) KIRI DAN KANAN

Acu cuba try test pada body kerusi- muat tak?

Kalau longgar, bole jait lagi sehingga padan

Next step..

9. Square kan bucu atas kiri dan kanan, dan potong

( gambar contoh, terlupa snap )

Terbalikkan PU yg dijahit dan pasang pada body kerusi

This is to show good and bad 'squaring'

Body siap !

Opps! Cacat !

Bila dah siap baru nampak...

tersalah potong pendek pulak bawah!

hmmmm........takper........

10. Assemble

Ok...secrew balik semua bahagian kerusi

( jangan lupa tebuk lubang screw jika terbalut dengan PU tadi, jika tidak screw tak boleh masuk ! )

Lebihan PU saya gunting jd flower dan lekatkan button,
terus tampal pada bahagian cacat tadi ( kiri dan kanan )
( all using glue gun )

yeah.....

BEFORE

AFTER :)

Sorry for all the bahasa rojak
This is my first try and my first tutorial !

Selamat mencuba!

Total Lunar Eclipse 15 june 2011 (Reuters-Nir Elias)

Millions of people were able to view the longest Total Lunar Eclipse in over ten years, lasting a cool 100 minutes; another words a whooping

1 hour and 40 minutes of totality. A wonderful and beautiful crimson red Moon greeted all those who peered towards the south eastern sky and were rewarded by our humble Moon looking radient and majestic displaying a magnificent red.

But Why does the Moon turn Red?

One may have thought that when the Moon drifts deep into the huge shadow cast out into Space by Earth, that the Moon should really become invisible for the duration whilst deep in Earth's umbra shadow, and so it would but for the fact of Earth's atmosphere; light from the Sun strikes Earth's atmosphere and dust particiles, water molecules and any volcanic ash floating around in the atmosphere refracts the light and hits the Moons lunar surface changing its appearance from the usual white to a majestic colour red, which is then reflected back to Earth.1

Ade sape sempat tgk gerhana bulan ?

Saya tak sempat ....

...............When is next eclipse?
