Eye For DIY game up for the RP Blogger Challenge 2012 


The girls behind EyeForDIY hopes to win big at first blog competition held in Republic polytechnic

Singapore, 26 January 2012 – EyeForDIY was formed by a group of girls due to their passion and love for pretty handcrafts, beauty remedies, and tasty homemade snacks. Readers of EyeForDIY can expect sharing of deals, steals, tips and tricks. With the emergence of RP Blogger challenge 2012, EyeForDIY hopes to be a one stop DIY blog which caters to all the needs of the budget conscious girls.

EyeForDIY is made up of four categories of beats, mainly:

Craft – Recommendations for DIY crafts (such as those meant for handmade bracelets, floral garlands, or even necklaces) are specifically made, catering to our price-conscious readers.

EyeForDIY helps readers to acquire an edgy flair, aside from bringing together a fine collection of buttons, strings and twinkling gemstones – all of which are maintained at reasonable prices (check out our previous post: Team Eyefordiy goes shopping; eight DIY items below $20).
Fashion –Unleashing classy styles, while maintaining the frugal attitude, is what EyeForDIY strives to achieve in its whole fashion expedition. In line with EyeForDIY’s fashion updates, readers would find themselves among those who bring originality to a whole new level.

“With $20 at hand, I can only get a top at a consignment store. But with that amount, I can get a whole outfit, a top, bottom and shoes. Call me cheapskate but I believe in maximizing my dollars,” Nabillah, 18 year old contributor of EyeForDIY reveals.  

Beauty - You don't have to spend a fortune buying cosmetics off the racks or paying professional manicure saloons to do your dainty nails! Here at EyeForDIY we'll share homemade beauty remedies which are pocket friendly.

Food – Swiftly throwing together an array of ingredients, as peers abruptly decide to hold an impromptu party; readers need not vex. With a list of quick-to-learn homemade recipes made available in EyeForDIY, fellow DIY-ERs would find themselves whipping up appetizing dishes in no time.
EyeForDIY was founded with the mission statement; if we can make something with our own two hands and make it really cheap, why buy from stores?

While on a trip to Bukit Panjang Plaza to source for materials to make Christmas gifts and goodies, contributor of EyeForDIY, Adila, quipped; “For the price of that bracelet at Watts In, I’d rather buy beads and two spools of quality thread and make ten! My bracelets would be more unique and special than anything you’d see in here!
