DIY Stuffed Animal/Toy Handbag. Alright, so I have to admit that I could actually never do this to a loved childhood toy, either. I ended up finding the most unloved toy in our house, making absolutely sure that no one had any kind of sentimental attachments to it whatsoever, and I still felt really bad doing this. I felt properly evil. Like I was destroying happy childhood memories. I think the best option for this DIY - if you've got weird guilt-problems like me - is to visit a thrift store/op-shop and pick something up there. ANYWAY that's enough neuroticism - here is the DIY! An evil heart that makes you okay with cutting up plush animals that did NOTHING WRONG (alright, I need to stop anthropomorphising my toys now or this is never going to get off the ground) 1. 2. 3.
All you need to do is cut the fabric to the width of the slit you made in the toy, fold it over, and sew down both sides like this: ...so that you have created a pouch. 4. Hopefully you will end up with something like this... 5. 6. Love love love, DIY Ice Cream Pockets Skirt. Hey guys! This is what I made today - and another idea for pockets if you want to give my DIY skirt a go! (Thank you so much to the ladies who have made & blogged about this DIY skirt! I've loved seeing what you're coming up with!) I made the pockets a little larger than the blue gingham skirt, and appliquéd on some ice cream shapes, using slightly different patterned fabrics for each ice-cream scoop.
I really like them :) wearing t- shirt - Forever 21 skirt - DIY shoes - Raben footwear Onto some science - if you needed any more proof that science is awesome, then please take a look at these nail designs from Cosmetic Proof.

Glitter Shoes! These exquisite Miu Miu booties were the inspiration for this DIY project.
There is no way I will ever spend $850 on a pair of shoes, no matter how gorgeous they are. So I thought about how I could recreate the glittery look with a pair of my old shoes that have been gathering dust in the back of my closet. I had a stash of barely used champagne holiday glitter that would come in handy. Well, I found the shoes! This is a pair of pukey green and brown Steve Madden wedges circa 2006. My supplies: 1. glitter 2. pink spray paint 3. 4. paint brush 5. sandpaper First, I scuffed the wood part of the shoe with sandpaper to prep for the spray paint.
Next, I combined equal parts glitter and Mod Podge into a bowl and mixed with the brush. OH snap- check them out! TWO DAYS LATER… So I still had some of the mixture left, which I stored in a plastic container. I think it’s a neat idea to paint the bottoms of your shoes – think of the red bottoms on Louboutins. Hair Chalking Tutorial. Here is a fun, easy, and inexpensive way to add some vivid highlights to your hairstyle!

So I made this double bow necklace out of polymer cay. Read on for the tutorial! Polymer clay Cutter Jump rings Jewelry pliers Clasp Chain Oven Pencil Pin It's so easy. You might want to lay out wax paper so the clay won't stick on your surface first. Pinch the sides like pictured above, and then pinch both sides together. Next take a small bit of clay, roll it out and flatten it like in the first picture. To make holes, it helps to put a pencil or any barrel shaped object inside - it's used to hold the shape.
