HOW TO: Paper Bunny Ear Headband [Video + Contest]

Hi, everyone!
Few days ago, I created a DIY Paper Bunny Ear Headband and today I'm gonna show you guys HOW! It's super easy and cheap and I promise you the result is pretty cute. ;D
Yes, I also made a tutorial video on Youtube for this. To watch it, you can click this link (bit.ly/paperbunny) or simply click play on this video. :D ↓

Preparation
First of, let's prepare the tools and materials you'll need to make this craft:

Scissor
Glue

Plain headband
You can find a headband like this almost everywhere! I bought this one for IDR 10,000 (USD 1) at an accessory store in a mall. XD

Paper 
You can draw the pattern of the bunny ears, or you can just download the pattern I made here:
Download link: bit.ly/pbehpattern
Simply download and print it as your guide. :D

Step by Step Tutorial

Step 01: CUT
Cut the pattern along the solid line. Do not cut on the dashed line (- - -) because it's where the fold should occur. There are two patterns here: one is the bunny ears, one is the tie.

Step 02: FOLD
Fold along the dashed lines.

Step 03: Glue
Put the glue on the middle of the fold.

Step 04: Wrap & Glue
Attach the 'tie' on the glued surface, then wrap it around the headband. Seal the end of the tie with the glue and stick it. Make sure it really sticks.

Step 05: WEAR
Now that your very own Paper Bunny Ear Headband is done, wear it happily!

Faunia Paw Game Review

Paw! P-P-P-PAW!!!
We are addicted to this award winning game called Faunia Paw lately and we want you guys to join the fun!
‟BEST 2014 PUZZLE GAME”
‟WINNER OF 2013 INDONESIAN GAME DEVELOPER AWARD FOR BEST CASUAL MOBILE GAME”
‟BEST MOBILE GAME 2013 - KOTAKGAME AWARDS”
If you like tile-matching swap puzzle kind of game like Bejeweled or Candy Crush, you'll LOVE this! Jess remembers that she switched from Nokia to iPhone because she loved playing Bejeweled and Nokia didn't have the touch screen feature back then lol.

With cute RPG style, this game offers more to the eyes and ears than other games alike. We love the songs and sound effects, they're really cute and entertaining! And the overall design is EXCELLENT.
We mean, look at the details of these maps! Awesomesauce!

Our favorite battle place: Sky Island. Because it's sooo pretty in pink and yellow!!
♡♡♡

By the way, we were kinda shocked when we found out that this game is made in Indonesia, and more over, one of the graphic designer is Jess' classmate in college lol, what a small world!! XD However, all aesthetics aside, we wish the overall layout and system could be simplified because we think they're a bit too complicated for a casual game like this. And we couldn't help but notice that it takes a pretty long waiting time between games, about 10-20 seconds? But it could be our slow internet connection, though. (˘̩̩ᴗ˘̩̩ƪ)

How To Play
First, you can download the game here:
Now, Faunia Paw is a 60 seconds battle kind of game. In this battle, you have to be quick! Match a minimum of 3 orbs as fast as possible to make them pop and disappear. Create as many combos as you can to reach high scores! Now by matching 4-5 orbs, you'll get shrooms that will help you pop MORE orbs:
SHROOM: Match 4 orbs in a line (vertical / horizontal)

GRENADE SHROOM: Match 5 orbs in two intersecting lines (horizontal AND vertical)

 ULTIMA SHROOM: Match 5 orbs in a straight line!

 These 'shrooms' are the BIG GUNS!! They swap the combos like mad, thus help you reach higher scores, create combos and win the battles! Our favorite is definitely the ULTIMA SHROOM!

Challenge or Fight!
You can challenge your Facebook friends or random people for a battle and vice versa, they could also challenge you!
CHALLENGE SOMEONE
Click BATTLE on the bottom right and Faunia Paw will find someone for you! When you're done playing, click 'Send Challenge' and it will show up on that person's Challengers board. When you challenge someone, you have to wait until they fight your battle to see the result.

FIGHT A BATTLE
Pick someone on your Challengers board and click the red 'Fight' button! After you're done playing, click 'See Result'.

Each time you finish a battle, winning or losing, you'll get coins and experience, which will help you level up! Level up will unlock features, open up new maps, increase your score AND give you surprises like these:

For power ups like coins, hearts, eggs, avatars… you can win some or buy some! There are plenty of ways actually, and logging in daily is one of them:

ANDDDDD you can also get a really awesome Avatar by playing THE QUEST:
Defeat all the bosses on the right side and you'll get the prize! Play quickly, though, because this is a timed quest. Different quests are coming every week or bi-weekly so you have to finish it before the time runs out! ;D

Result of Playing Non-Stop!
Mehehe
TIPS FROM JESS:
Play with BOTH HANDS!!
It will definitely make you move faster or at least, one hand would do you random swaps while your eyes are concentrating on the other hand's swaps.

What we wear: GOWIGASA Denim Overall Shorts (available in Light Blue & Blue)

Okay then, thanks a lot for reading, hope you guys enjoy Faunia Paw as much as we do and see you guys on our next post! (ˆヮˆ)づ♡
