Loving this crazy life!: Last minute Easter DIY Projects!
It's Good Friday today. How is this year flying by so quickly? I'm planning an Easter Egg Hunt for the girls and brunch for us, my parents & a couple of friends on Easter Sunday. I only have a few itty bitty Easter decorations around the house. So, I went to my handy dandy Easter board on Pinterest and picked out some cute and easy DIY projects to do over the next couple of days.
so fellas, as promised on facebook , here is the result of the little diy. if you want to give it a try yourself you will need: -a boxy folder (as i used), or anything stiff/sleek that comes to your mind. -halographic self-adhesive foil which you can find in the crafting section of a stationery store. the one i used is silver without a pattern. -a stanley knife to cut out the studs -a scissor to cut off the excess foil when needed. -a little patience begin to stick the foil on at a corner. use your fingers to slowly sweep the foil over the surface and smooth out possible bubbles. you can detach the foil a bit to correct flaws. cut strips for the sides and bottom if needed. luckily the foil is very forgiving and possible overlaps are not noticable. hope you like it dolls! love you e

The Dainty Squid: DIY Scratch Off Tickets!
I love scratch off tickets, always have. I remember begging my parents to let me scratch off theirs when I was little. Now that I'm an adult I can't think of something more fun to receive with an order than a scratch off card with a coupon code so I decided to make some of my own for Circus Bear Vintage .

DIY Ombré Denim
Dip dyed ombré denim has been popping up here and there and not only do we love the look, it’s super easy to do yourself! We’ve combined Tory Burch ‘s dip dyed jeans and Miss Unkon ‘s ombré 501s as inspiration for a pink infused DIY that could be done in a jiffy. Start by rinsing your shorts with water. A bottle of RIT liquid dye amounts to 1 cup; you’ll dye your shorts with the lightest shade first and darkest shade last. Pour 1/3 of the cup of dye into 2 gallons of hot water and mix. When dyeing dark denim, you will want to use less water for a darker dye.After crushing hard on this vintage net bag spotted by Phil Oh on the streets of NYC, we knew we had to attempt to DIY it. Sprucing up a reusable cotton bag from the grocery store with some hardware and carabiners? Sign us up! In just a few simple steps, we’ll show you how to make our rendition of the net bag – perfect for a stroll in the park.
