DIY: Waterfall Skirt

1. Start off with a dress of skirt that you don't mind altering.

 2. Fold the dress/skirt so the crease is in the center of the back and front of the garment, not at the side seams. Mark a dotted line with a permanent marker asymmetrically southwest.

3. Cut slightly above the dotted line.

4. Touch up any mistakes and cut off the top of the skirt. My dress had an empire waist so I just cut right above the elastic.

Hope you all enjoyed this post.

DIY: Fur Bag

In this DIY post I'll show and explain how to create a faux fur cross-body bag.  

Tools:

-Bag that you want to cover

-Measuring device

- Highlighter

- Scissors

-Thread & Needle

- Faux fur fabric

1. Place bag flat onto the back of the faux fur fabric. Outline the purse, leaving about 1.5 inches of space, with a highlighter or pen.

2. Roughly cut out your faux fur fabric along the outline.

3. Repeat step 1 & 2 on the other side. Place fabric appropriately on both sides of the bag. Begin to stich the fabric to the bag.

4. Keep in mind to only sew the fabric to the top and the two sides of the bag. Leave the bottom loose.

5. Cut the excess fabric from the bag around the sewn edges.

6. Sew the bottom two pieces of fabric together, not to the bag. Then stitch the sewn fabric flat. Cut off the excess.

DIY: Inspiration Board

My inspiration board needed an update. I had the same things on it for 2 years and it's crazy how your inspiration can change in two years. So I grabbed a couple magazines and catalogs, scissors, and tape. I also organized my desk area while I was in the mood, I'm pleased with the results.

I encourage everybody out there to either create, or update an inspiration board. They are fun to make and evern better to look at every morning. Inspiration is everywhere, create it, feed on it. Inspiration is fuel to making things happen. We must not just stop at inspiration, act on our goals. Don't just admire them. xoxo

DIY: Beaded Bracelets

So I was rambling through my room and found a jewelry kit full of beads and paper thread. It is my mom's, she used to make book thongs and sell them. I decided to make some bracelets with the materials I found. I ended up making 5 bracelets, which is cool because they were free, and I spend a lot of money on bracelets. I love them.

I simply took about 12 inches of paper thread and made a loop with the first bead inside as the toggle. Then i randomly added beads until it was enough to comfortably fit my wrist. I made an empty loop at the end. 

I encourage people to look around their house for DIY projects. It feels good when you make something new and didn't have to spend any money.
