DIY | Glitter Jars

Another one before the last movie of the night, three so far....
Just a fun little decor for my new room!! i will post photos when it is finished!!! <3

Here we go, again:
Glitter Jar 3 min. {per jar}

1st
you pick out your color glitter & get your glue, {you can use hot glue if you want} and find your jars!
 {excuse the iPhone & Lens cap, thank you!}
 {Izze bottle, mason jar, & mini jar.}
{I just choose silver glitter, I was going to do two different colors but, like this one the best}
2nd & 3rd
Apply a good amount of glue evenly around the entire jar & once done "gluing" add your glitter. {This is best done with a bowl underneath the jar while pouring the glitter, see photograph.}
{repeat with as many jars as you wish!}
That is it!! It is a easy, fast, & fun way to add some fun & sparkle to jars or any container! I did the mason jar with strips & the bottle plain just like my mini. :)
FINAL PRODUCT:


 {then add to any bedroom or office area!}


 {ignore the Ibuprofen...}
I hope you all had a great & fun Saturday! Comment below & let me know what you think! What is your next DIY?

DIY | Feather headband

So this Halloween my costume needs a few "accessories" & I wanted to make one of them. It is a simple & super cute feather head band! I decided that it would be easiest & cheapest to make it myself. I wanted a little bit of a challenge and a fun thing to do over the weekend! I wanted to share it with all of you! You can adjust the colors & feathers you use. I choose these because the pink went with my dress & the black went with my high heels & the gold was just a fun extra bit!

Here we go!
Feather headband approx. 5-10 min.

1st.....
You get all you supplies {I went to Joann's & got a tiny bag of little feathers, the pink & gold, then another baggie with just one big black feather. I also got a roll of elastic, sequined, gold "string"; you can also choose how thick you would like it to be.}
2nd....
You measure your head/the "subjects" head, you can also messager a headband that you have that fits you well. {Turn on the hot glue gun after this step.}

3rd
You cut the elastic a little bit less than the size you measured. It will stretch, you want that.
4th
You can now hot glue the two ends together. I used hot glue & it worked perfectly, you can also sew the ends together. No matter what you will need the hot glue. :)

5th
Now that you have your beautiful, basic, headband, you can now start to design you long sort & medium feathers {I used one big black feather & one medium gold feather with four little pink ones.}

6th
You can, once you have arranged the feathers, hot glue them together.

7th
Now you are ready for the final step hot glue the headband & feathers together! Now the beautiful final product!




I hope you are all having a great fall & a fun weekend! Now I am off to bake some pumpkin bread & go shoe shopping! {FYI: I want my costume to be a surprise, I think/ hope you know that I decided not to be Mary Poppins. haha}

Months of DIY

I am so happy to say that I will be doing DIY crafts & fashion things. I love going onto pinterest and seeing the latest fashion DIY and the fun & easy craft/decor DIY.  It is amazing to see the things people come up with. They are so amazing & so easy, I sometimes think to myself "Now, why didn't I think of that?" It is so funny to think that you can easily & quickly make fun little crafts & update your wardrobe.

It was easy for me to come up with some of the DIY things i will be doing this year. I knew i had one in mind that I thought of myself & then lots of others that I found on pinterest & other blogs. I have always wanted to try ombre & dying all sorts of things.

Here are a few of the things i hope to do this year.{by this year I am saying this 2012 year, not this school year.}
