The Ekiti Experience

 

Serrano's was at the NYSC camp, Ise-emure, Ekiti in November, 2013. Another three-weeks experience, we became corp members again...lol. We trained corp members in Bead-making and Fabric Accessories Craft. AdornedbyJoy of Adorned Fashion House was also there to tutor corp members in make-up Artistry and Gele tying. It was fun interacting with different personalities. Some became friends, some became family. CEOs were born. Pictures speak!

Students turned "CEOs"

So I decided to do a post about my students. Everyday a CEO is born.The unemployment rate in the country is virtually turning everyone to a CEO...lol. I've been privileged to train several people and its been a wonderful experience meeting and interacting with these personalities.Here are some of the wonderful people I've met;

Blessing, CEO, B'zign crafts. Very gentle girl and cute too. Our training sessions were nice.

Bimpe 'alagidi of life', CEO, O'beampeh Couture. Very stubborn girl. It was a tough time with her but very interesting too. Bimpe i 'milz' you oh...

                                Jenni, CEO, Beads by Jenni's. Another 'alagidi' girl.

                               She truly looks like a CEO...lol

Bisola, gentle babe. She hasn't come up with a name yet but soon i know she'll be CEO "somtin somtin'...lol

Aunty Tutu, CEO in-the- making. Very hospitable lady...I was treated like a special guest on this day. Sis, i wanna come again so i can 'bellewise'...lol

Ronke 'alaako', CEO, Cherri's....This babe can make shakara for Africa...lol

                                            Stay tuned. More to come. *wink*

Do-It-Yourself: Fabric Notebook

                                Wondering how fabric notebooks are made? Its so so easy. 

                           All you need is your notebook, scissors, tape rule, adhesive gum and fabric.You can do it yourself. Its very easy. Follow the steps below:

1. Measure the height and width of your notebook. Add extra 2inches to your measurement(this excess will be folded in).

                                                     2. Measure your fabric and cut.

                                                   3. Place the notebook on the fabric.                                                      

                  4. Apply gum(not too much) to the front cover of the notebook and place the fabric on it.

               5. Repeat the step 4 on the back cover of the notebook. 

6. Open the notebook, apply gum to the edges of the front cover and fold the excess fabric in. Repeat this process on the back cover.

                                                    You'll get this after folding.

  7. Apply gum on the inner-section of the front cover.Stick the first page to it. Repeat this process on the back cover.
