makeup brush deco

    I saw this Pinterest pin and was inspired to do something like it. So, I tried to paint my brushes and that was a fail. So, my next attempt was washi tape. Success! I love the vintage look it has. I thought I would make my own tutorial as part of my summer series. This brush deco is super simple, all you have to do is wrap the washi tape around your brush and ba-bam!

What you will need:

-makeup brushes

-washi tape

-scissors

 

1. Start wrapping the washi tape around the brush and keep wrapping until the end. 

 

There ya have it, I love the vintage, artsy look to them. Thanks for reading. xoxo

diy coaster

            Mod Podge coasters is something I have been making for a while. My sister first introduced me to the craft a few years ago and ever since I have loved making them. They are super easy to make and make great gifts! The best part it only cost you less than $1. The most expensive part of this project are the felt sticky pads and Mod Podge but the coaster itself (blank white tile) is only around 17 cents. This post is #2 of the summer series. Yay. Enjoy lovelies.

Supplies:
-Mod Podge (here)
-White tile (something like this)
-Sticky felt pads (here)
-Patterned paper (or printed quote)  (print out)
-Paint brush (here)

1. Apply sticky pads on all four corners of tile.

 2. Apply Mod Podge all around the front of the tile.

3. Put your paper on top of the Mod Podge you just applied

4. Apply Mod Podge over paper and whole tile again. 

    

5. Let Mod Podge dry for 10-15 minutes and then reapply on the top 2-4 times. 

All done coaster below, and this is how it really was put to use, holding my happy hour slushy. Yum.

Thanks for reading. xo.

diy pocket tee

   
    Today, I would like to announce I will be starting a DIY summer series and this blog post is part one of six. This summer series will have anything form seashell bracelets to a pretty pocket tee. Through this series I hope to attract more readers and grow as a blog. The tutorial I will be showing you today is how to make a simple pocket tee. I have gotten a lot of compliments on this shirt so I thought I would make a tutorial. If you are a beginner sewer or beginner DIYer, then this is for you or even if you have sewn or DIYed for years, this is for you too! The tutorial is pretty simple it only has a few steps.

Supplies:
-solid color tee (something like this)
-fabric (fat quarter)
-scissors
-sewing machine
-pocket pattern

1. Gather materials (make sure to wash your tee and fabric).

2. Cut out pattern (here).

3. Pin on fabric and cut out (two prices).

4. Put right sides together.

5. Sew all sides but leave a small opening at the top (like below).

6. Turn back inside out.

7. Fold over your opening and sew down the top.

 

8. Pin on your shirt and sew down (make sure you only sew on the front of your shirt not back).

Tadaa, you have made your first pocket tee!

How to wear it:

This tee is great  with some shorts, jeans, a skirt, just about anything. The great part is it gives your old tee some new life! 

 Enjoy and have a lovely day. xo
