We had a fun DIY day in our office today. Pui Chi, my sister-in-law, came to our office to start her own new project. We work together with her to help her make her own chop collection and she will also make some buttons for our shop. We ordered all the machines and equipment already and today we tried out all of them. She made some really cute buttons with some leftover Hello Kitty fabrics and Japanese fabrics. Then we tried out the chop machine. I was really surprised, the chop making machine is amazing. The quality of the final product is really, really good. I documented our day with some pictures:
Hello Kitty buttons and strawberry buttons made by us
cute button made with Japanese Kokka fabric
first step to make a chop: we designed it on a computer, then printed it on special paper
next step cutting out the chop sponge and transfer the image onto the sponge with the special machine
we dropped a few drops of ink onto the chop sponge and started testing. The result is very nice and very detailed.
