mika's online diary: Tutorials

It's a new year already! 2015 has been a kawaii year, but here's to hoping for a more kawaii 2016! So for my first post in 2016, it's a tutorial on how to save your Purikura's on your phone (HD)! A few people have asked me on how I saved mine since the instructions provided on the Purikura Machine itself is kind of hard to follow, since they're in Japanese and the instructions are like crazy fast, I'll tell you how I got my HD picture!

Like this! I didn't have this scanned, I actually tried scanning the pictures, but they were really not that good in terms of quality~ so! First things first, where to get your Purikura of course!

(from Kawaii PH)

These Purikura Machines are currently available at Kidzoona in Fairview Terraces for 150 php! You get 2 strips for that price after you've taken and designed your photo! There are 4 Purikura machines in the mall and they're all beside each other so you get to choose which one you like!

Me and my boyfriend Mike tried the Me <3 Her Jyoshi! It's kind of overwhelming at first but it's pretty much simple to use! So once you're at the end part, the machine will ask you if you want to save to your phone, and will make you choose 2 photos that you want to save. You'll get the strip and at the bottom notice an ID number

I covered mine lol! But don't worry! this doesnt mean that you can only save those 2 photos you chose! Technically, they'll be the "free" to save pics! First things first, download the application!

The App name is Puripix and you can DL this in apple store (not sure if they have this for android) it's a free application so no need to worry!

Once that's open, this would pop up! and you need to enter the ID number of the Purikira strip! once entered, it'd take you to a page where you can the chosen photo with a tag "free" on it, and your other photos with a padlock on it!

So go ahead and save the one with the free tag on it, and if you have a credit card or visa debit card, you can buy a ticket worth 0.99$ only and unlock ALL your other photos! which is actually what I did!

I love how it's HD! hihi~ I wasn;t able to unlock all my photos for the second strip (since I forgot to deposit money in my visa debit card) but I was able to save 2 photos! Since you do have 2 ID numbers in 1 strip! So be sure to download all your photos!

Important note: The server will only keep your pictures for 1 week!

So be sure to try to get all your Purikura photos! will be getting mine tomorrow as well! lol

Anyway! so that's how you get your HD copies of your Purikura photos!

Hope this was a bit helpful for you guys!

Happy 2016!

Hi guys! so I'm back with another blog post, but this time, it's not just any old review or candy kit tutorial I'll be doing, this is a Kawaii DIY phone case tutorial! I posted a photo of the finished product a few days ago and people have been leaving comments expressing their excitement with the tutorial I'll be doing, so first of, I'll be listing all the materials needed, and at the end, i'll be giving TIPS so make sure to read the whole post before asking questions lol

LETS GET STARTED!

I. THINGS YOU'LL NEED

CLEAR phone case. It doesn't have to be an iphone case, it can be any phone case you want as long as it's a clear one and preferably rubber or silicone texture. I got mine at Alabang Town Center, but most "Tiangges" have these clear cases, and even amazon or ebay.

2.) Your Sakura Card stationary or Clow card stationary (whichever works for you)

WHERE TO GET YOUR CCS STATIONARY: you can order/purchase your own pad of kawaii CCS stationary from JapanLover.Me Store (you can follow the instructions on how to order and they'll be ordering it for you!)

3.) Kawaii Stickers you may want to stick to the case (OPTIONAL)

4.) Pencil and Eraser

5.) Extra Accessories

6.) Scissors or Cutter

II. PATTERN AND CUTTING PROCESS

**Disclaimer: My boyfriend traced and cut the paper out for me so credits to the amazing mike for the awesome and flawless cutting, but WARNING, there was a mistake made here, which will be corrected later on**

First, you place the case on top of the Sakura stationary and trace out the case on the paper.

After tracing it out, if you don't have a cutter, you can use scissors, but if you don't want to fold the paper to cut in between the camera hole, you can actually cut from the top, cut the circle, then tape the back of the paper and it's not noticeable from the front.

Don't forget to cut the edges as well!

Once you've taped the back, you barely notice the cut on the top part to cut the camera hole

NOW, here's the mistake, when we were about to attach it, we realized he traced in the wrong face of the paper, which ended up being on the opposite side, so, what he did, was he taped back the hole he cut out, traced it again, and cut another hole on the other end (the correct end) and we just placed the paper under the case before inserting the phone, and voila!

If you can see, I actually sticked a sticker just to divert the attention from that hole, so DON'T make the same mistake we did lol! My case actually had holes for accessories to go through, so I added my CCS star key pendant and sakurafied my phone!

You can also get the star key from JapanLover.Me Store so order now!

TIPS:

Make sure you're paper is facing the right direction before tracing and cutting
Order these awesome sakura papers/stationary pad from JapanLover.me
You can choose other designs as well for the star key
if you have a larger phone, for example an iphone 6 or a note 3 or 4, just use more than 1 stationary (when you order this it comes in a pad so there's a lot) cut between the stationary and just combine them one by one on the inside of your case, sort of like a puzzle, again you can use more than 1 paper for larger phones, for smaller phones, just trace and cut through it.
No need to glue/stick the paper to the case, because it will be on the inside of the case so that it will look like it's printed onto the case itself
AGAIN for larger phones, use more than 1 paper, if you want, you can actually label them underneath to make them look like they're different sakura or clow cards.
ANOTHER thing you can do is order the blank sakura card. (from JapanLover.Me as well) If you notice on the first picture, you'll see sakura cards that are blank, it's the front view not the back view, and you can draw/design/name them anyway you want, and they are also larger than the actual paper I used on my phone, so you can totally use those as well, plus! you get a more customized feel to it!
here's an example by Jenni our kawaii illustrator at the Cardcaptor Sakura Club

(photo from Jenni Illustrations)

These sheets are larger so you can order these instead for larger phones if you want to customize/draw as well!

So those are the tips that I can give you but if you still need help, feel free to leave a comment!

That's it for this post! bye bee!
