DIY: Jewelry Box

 
Hello crafty girls!! 

So this is literally the easiest DIY ever because you don't have to do anything, just accept sweet little gifts from the fellas ;-) haha! Whether it's a box of delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolates or the beautiful Valentines day sweets, the boxes all make perfect earrings and ring holders!! On some boxes you can even remove the bottom where the chocolates were, and have enough space for any jewelry piece you want! Ahhh why can't everything in life be this sweet ;-). Happy crafting

DIY: Customize your Cell Phone Case



Hello crafty girls!

Cell phones have turned into a major fashion accessory! I mean who doesn't have at least 2 cell phone cases? I know I do. As girls, we cannot stick to just one design. It's like wearing the same necklace or pair of shoes every single day, who does that!!? Our cell phone reflects our style and personality. And lets face it, we don't always feel like rainbows and butterflies. So here is an easy and inexpensive DIY project that you all will love! Also, did I forget to mention the designs are interchangeable? Yup, you only need one case for infinite designs! How did I not think of this before? It is so simple, it's just a matter of tracing the cell phone case onto scrapbook paper, cutting it out, and applying it to the inside of the case! Easy right?! I also added a video below to help you visualize it ;-). I hope you all enjoyed this extremely easy DIY project and have fun rocking your awesome cell phone designs! Happy crafting ♥

DIY: Decorate Your Shoes


Hello crafty girls! I'm so excited about this new DIY because it is very dear to me. Why is that you might ask? Well, this is THE project that made me decide to actually start a blog and a YouTube channel! So why did it take me so long to make and post it? Well I'm such a perfectionist and now with more experience and savvy technical skills acquired, I was finally able to make the video I envisioned!! So I hope you all enjoy it!

Decorating and personalizing your shoes is much simpler than you might think! With just a little bit of creativity you can make infinite designs that will wow your friends! You will get allot of, "Where did you get your shoes"? Then you can proudly respond, "Oh these, I designed them myself ;-)".  Awesome right!? It is also a great project for summer because let's face it, going back to school is all about new shoes, clothes, supplies, etc. So why not get a head start on a pair (or two) of newly designed shoes right?! I hope you try it out and have a crafty summer!! ♥

DIY Scarf Necklace...or Necklace Scarf

Hello crafty girls! It is officially the second day of summer, how exciting! I hope you all are enjoying your beautiful summer break! I have a lot more fun projects coming up so stay tuned!!




Today is all about the scarf (yes yet again, what can I say I love them!). Wearing a scarf can get kind of boring if you wear it the same way every time. So I came up with these 2 easy styles that can refresh and revamp your simple look to make it more interesting! All you need is a long necklace and a lightweight scarf! That is it, and it's simple and cute! I made an instructional video for you all, I hope you like it!!! If you all enjoy watching scarf styles let me know and I can do more!! Remember fashion is about having fun and trying new things. And when you can use items you already own, well that's just awesome! It's a modern way of recycling what you already have ;-).  Take care pretty girls and don't forget to always be creative ♥

April Nail of the Month: Animal Instincts


Hands down (pun intended  ha!) I had to give the Nail of the Month mention to my lovely little sister! Are these just not the cutest!?! It is a girly and colorful interpretation of a zebra print in red and hot pink! She used the stamping nail art kit (yes yet again). What can I say, it is our new little obsession. But why spend a lot of money on a salon manicure while you can make gorgeous, salon quality designs at home, and fast! But I promise the nail of the month for May (which is what I am rocking right now) is more simple and without the stamping nail art kit. So I hope our designs serve as inspiration for you to have some fun with your nails, because they are also a great accessory! Happy crafting :-)

DIY: Multicolor T-Shirt Scarf




If you didn't notice by now, I love scarves! They are such a great accessory because they add texture to an outfit instantly! But did you know you could make a scarf just out of old over-sized t-shirts? Shocking I know (HAHA), but it is true, and they come out super cute! This project is so creative, easy, and different that I am sure you all will love it!

All you need is different color  t-shirts (the bigger the better), scissors, and some kind of embellishment (pin, brooch, necklace, ribbon, etc). You can use just about anything, so be creative!

And lastly, I made an instructional video (below) to show you how to actually make your awesome scarf!

Don't forget to be creative and have some fun with it! Happy crafting :-)

DIY Manicure Using Stamping Nail Art!



I bought this new AWESOME "thing" for making super easy and fast mani/pedi designs. It's so amazing I had to share it all with you! I actually saw an infomercial for this and searched online. I was skeptical with the idea of "stamping" designs onto your nail, but it works like a charm! I actually bought my supplies on eBay and they were fairly inexpensive! If you are interested here is the name of the seller that I got my supplies from, which I am recommending because it is excellent quality and arrived fast!(Seller: xxkaraxx) The best thing is that you can use your own nail polish! You can buy everything separately if it's cheaper (like I did). So shop around! If you are buying everything separately make sure you get ALL these supplies, which are the stamping nail art plates and the stamping nail art stamper and scraper(sold together).
So check out the instructional video I made to see what my hype is all about (haha).

To answer my tip on applying clear nail polish over the design, make sure you wait a while, like a few hours. If you can apply it the next day, even better!

This manicure "miracle" has inspired me to start a "nail design of the month" segments coming up!Yeyy!
