Today my DIY is about making your own study material. Im currently studying japanese, its a bit hard because my language is portuguese... so the base has nothing to do with it, but... japan has adopted several portuguese words because we were the first country to go there by boat in 1514. (check this list if you are curious about japanese word with portuguese origins here)

So how to do your own study material for japanese, you can adapt to whatever language you are studying.

1  Study Cards 

Get an hard paper and write on one side the japanese word and in the other the way you pronounce it and the meaning, my big advice here is do not buy the cards, make them yourself, it will be a learning experience by it self. If you want them pretty just buy a lot of paper, cut it the same length and make a hole, use one loop of shower curtains an like that maintain them all together.

Being a girl that loves earrings i never used them that much... and why? Because they were always tangled! It was awful to wake up in the morning wish to chose something quickly and get out of the house... so i thought about a cheap and easy way to do my own earring holder.

I got some wood that i was from the local carpenter... he was going to throw it away so it was free!
I went to a cheap store and got a lot of those nails with a loop... and then i just coated all my wood with some watery black paint, so that the wood grain could still be seen afterwards.

To connect all of it i used some regular nails and fishing cord.

And this was the final result!

Cheap because it costs less then 5 euros and it can hold 84 earrings if you put them separated or 168 if you put the pairs together... right now I have it almost complet.. and is so easy to find the right pair ! :)

Hope you like it, kisses !
