Playing around on pinterest today, I came across a great tutorial for an adorable Anthropologie bow necklace, and then I decided to take a peak at the rest of the blog and found a bunch of gorgeous tutorials, I am so excited to get working! I am also looking forward to using some of these ideas in an upcoming 4H FACSY camp were I am teaching a Fashion Revue class!

DIY Scissors

These DIY Scissors are so easy to do, and so much fun! Take a regular pair of scissors and spruce them up!

Materials used:

-2 pairs of scissors (one to cute to shape and the other to decorate!)

-Scrabooking Paper

-Beacon Liquid Laminate (I'm sure ModPodge would work just fine as well!)

-Pencil

1. Cut a rectangular piece of paper that is large enough to cover the cutting parts of your scissors.

2. Put the piece of paper face down on the blade part of the scissors, take your pencil and draw around the little circle or triangle part on top where the cutting part ends.

3. Cut out the part that you just drew

4. Take your Beacon Liquid Laminate and apply it to the blade part of the scissors, try not to get it on any of the joints!

5. Stick your piece of scrabooking paper on it.

6. Trim.

7. Repeat on other blade.

8. Finished!

{Enjoy!}

Ruffle Shoe Tutorial

Ruffle Shoe Tutorial

I've been seeing these adorable ruffle shoes all over, Delias, Jcrew, and other stores. They are so cute! However, at Delias they are priced at around $44, kind of pricey for my budget. So, I decided to make my own! I used plain black shoes that had a hint of sparkle to them from Target and black with white polka dot material for the ruffle. They turned out even better than I had expected and I LOVE them! So, I will share a tutorial on how to make them for you! If you make a pair, please email me so I can see how they turned out!

Oh, and I'm sure you wouldn't do this, but please do not resell the tutorial or the shoes that you created! Thanks!


Also...

I forgot to take pictures for the tutorial after number 16, I guess I was too excited to get it done! All you do after you complete the steps below is hot glue the ruffle to the shoe, let dry, and repeat the process on the other shoe, oh, and enjoy wearing them! Don't forget to take a picture so I can see!

Enjoy

Sewn Jean Dress

I finished sewing this dress a while ago, I think about a month, actually, but here are the pictures!

It is a jean dress, it turned out very cute! The one thing that I am sad about is that it turned out sort of short, I'm thinking about adding a ruffle of sort under it so that its longer.



As you can see, I haven't put the eye hook in the back yet, so it is not closed at the tip top yet....the rest is a zipper.

Do you like how it turned out? If you would like the pattern number, let me know!
