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 ♥

Gift For All Occations: Cake Pops!!

Hello crafty girls! Since Mother's Day is coming up I wanted to do a DIY that you can also do for ANY HOLIDAY! What is tastier and cuter than some cake pops?! They are easy, but a little time consuming I must admit. Nonetheless, they are completely worth it! Here is how I whipped them up!

Ingredients: Any cake mix, cream cheese icing, candy melts, lollipop sticks, and any form of decoration (sprinkles, chocolate, icing, etc).

Super easy instructions:
1. Follow instructions on the cake mix and bake.
2. Once it cools mash it all up and add the icing mixing evenly.
3. Make your balls (place on cooking sheet) and refrigerate for a few hours, or freeze it like I did for like 45 minutes.
4. Heat up the candy melts and first dip the tips of the lollipop sticks to stick on the balls. Let it harden.
5. Now coat the whole ball with the candy melt mixture, decorate, and let it dry & harden (I used a foam piece).


Now all you have to do is either package them individually in little plastic bags or the whole base and pops with plastic wrapping. That's it!! Hopefully you love them because they are a great gift! I hope my instructional pictures help you visualize the easy process.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Crafting :-)!

PS. This gift ideas is even great for men! Here is my picture to prove it ;-) lol! The Mustache stencil is from here: http://www.kandeej.com/2011/12/diy-craft-gift-idea-mustache-mug.html . Happy Holidays!

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 :-)

  

February Nail of the Month: Sexy Lace

Instead of going CUTESY and LITERAL with hearts everywhere, I chose a sexy little number in LACE ;-). Don't forget to be creative and have fun with your nail designs! I created this look using my beloved Stamping Nail Art kit!

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!

DIY: Hair Bun Maker + Short Hair Tutorial

Just because [we] have short hair, doesn't mean we can't rock a cute up-do, whether it's messy or slick and polished. Sure, we will need an extra amount of bobby pins in our hair but nonetheless, trust me an up-do is possible and easy! I've wanted to make this blog post for a while now for all my short hair ladies out there wanting to create an up-do, but thought it impossible, before now! What better time than around Valentine's Day, Prom, Wedding, and Graduation season!

For the bun maker all you need is a pair of tights OR socks (if they match your hair color even better), and scissor. That's it!

Now all you do is cut the foot of the tights/sock and start rolling it from that cut edge and just keep rolling until you finish! You will get a do-nut shape like this (below). Make sure the elastic is at the end because it will hold your bun together!

Now I couldn't show how to make a bun maker and not show how to actually use it and style your hair. So check out the video below for my bun making instructions in action and hair tutorial. So short hair ladies, you too can rock your hair in infinite ways! Love your hair, and happy crafting ♥
