Headband

Hey guys sorry it took so long to blog. I had exams and I had to study a lot! But I'm done now. And there is Christmas break! So excited. So I made this headband like a long time ago, and I can't wait. I have a lot of ideas for the next few diy's.

So you will need:

• string


• time

So I normally take the string and cut it about the length of both of my arms. Pick 5 or so colors (depending how many you want) and then I braid it. But I do it a certain way. A friendship bracelet braid. If you don't know how check out this video.

It really looks cool when your done. Its fast and easy and you can make tons, in different colors. Hope you like. Enjoy!

Button Journal

Sorry I haven't made one in a while. I want to do at least one a week. But I had a retreat last weekend, and I have exams coming up. But don't worry. I have many ideas!

Here is this cool journal I thought I would share with you. I think this has to be one of my favorite diy's ever. It is just so cute. So you will need:

• lots of colorful buttons
• a journal
  
• glue
• (possibly paint)
  

Ok so first you paint your journal. I only did because my journal was old and I just didn't like the color. But this step you can skip. Then get out your glue. I just use some simple Elmer's glue. Then just randomly glue your buttons on the journal cover.

Tip: I like to use big buttons and small ones to make a more random pattern. Plus if you have a bunch of small ones you can put them in between the bigger ones. Also don't be afraid to let there be spaces in between the buttons. And the glue will dry clear! So just wait a while.

Now that your cover is all filled up, let it sit and dry for about a day. But I let mine go a day or two, just to make sure. And it stays well. I have had mine for the longest time, about a year or so. If you have any questions just comment. And tell me what you think :)

redo them ornaments - diy

So I did something I really liked yesterday. I was putting together our Christmas tree and so I was looking at some ornaments. One I really liked but it wasn't that cute. Well it was, but it needed some sprucing up. So I got out my nail polish and did some stuff. I love what I did I will put the pictures up asap, but I just wanted to say I love this and I'm happy its my first DIY!
So what I did was I just took some cheep nail polish and Qtips and dipped the Qtips into the nail polish and did some decorating. you can do any sort of design you want I like this simple one. It just adds a little something extra to it. If you can see I also painted over it all with some clear sparkly polish to add some shine. And thats it. It takes as long for it to dry as your nails do. :D

Oh and NYC has cute cheep nail polish for only about 94cents if you don't want to use up any nicer nailpolish. (but hey it still works really great on your nails too.)
