DIY : Front knot tied crop top // Tee-shirt noué devant | A DIY lover can never DIY enough plain tee-shirts. EASIEST.THING.IN.THE.WORLD. Here is another idea inspired by my early years as a Spice Girl wannabe this year’s crop top trend. It’s amazing what you can do with a pair of scissors, a bit of a tie here and a knot or two right there ! Here we have a simple man’s tee-shirt (again, from Gap !) Une fan du custo n’a jamais assez de tee-shirts faits maison. The below pictures say it all : just cut off the back of your tee-shirt at the correct length and then make a V shape with the front by cutting off two triangular pieces on each side. Les images ci-dessous dévoilent tout : couper le derrière du tee-shirt à la bonne longueur et couper l’avant du tee-shirt en forme de V. Enjoy ! xx Author : Aimee WoodFreelance blogger, content creator and social media manager

The Beauty Book: How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes Like a Pro Public rest-rooms. Getting ready for a girls night out. Cars. These are all places that I have seen countless girls apply their makeup. Most times, it is with dirty brushes that have been caressing the dirt and bacteria at the bottom of their makeup bag for months (or even years!) When bath-time eventually does come around for our little hairy friends, a lot of girls just use any soap laying around or spend a lot of unnecessary dollars on expensive brush cleaning products. Here is an easy method that I use every time to cleanse my brushes. What you will need: 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) Directions: 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) Optional Extra Step: 8.)

How to Make a Shirt Smaller When you buy most of your wardrobe off the clearance rack and from thrift stores, odds are that most of the stuff is not going to be in your size. ie: GiNoRmous trousers and teeny tops. :) While I haven't figured out a way to make small things larger, I do have a system for making shirts smaller. Fair warning-- this is not rocket science and I'm not one for specific measurements when it comes to sewing up thrift store finds. This makes my detail-oriented, sewist/seamstress of a mother VERY uncomfortable... but that's just how I sew. ;) Step 1: Try on your extra large shirt and figure out just how extra large it really is on you. Holding the seam of the shirt together at your side, take a ruler and measure how much you want your shirt to be taken in. Step 2: Take off the shirt and turn it inside out. Step 3: Sew it up! PS-- Sorry I don't have more tutorial photos. From extra-large to a good fit. :) Wearing my mint pants and my DIY Anthropologie scarf flats. And my chevron belt.

1928 | Vintage Jewelry, Vintage Bridal, Fashion Costume Jewelry the DIY: JAPANESE STAB BINDING MINI NOTEBOOKS I saw this technique online a while ago and finally got around to making a few little notebooks. I'm not gonnnnna lie... explaining this technique is really tedious and confusing but once you understand it, it makes sense. It's really better if you go through this tutorial while actually making the notebook. You'll need some copy paper (I used 8-10 pieces in these little journals), a piece of scrapbook paper and a piece of cardstock. You will also need a glue stick, a needle and embroidery thread. Cut all of the papers into the same size. Fold all the papers in half, keeping all the copy paper together. Glue the cardstock on the inside of the scrapbook paper to create the cover. Punch 5 holes down the folded side of the copy paper and poke holes in the cover in the same places. Take the needle and thread and thread it through the second hole from the left side. Loop the needle around and back through the same hole. It should look like this. Then loop it through again. Finished!

easy, affordable lace boot socks . how to-sday Months ago, I kept seeing these boot socks all over Pinterest. They're completely perfect - crocheted, soft-looking, tall, and lined with just a hint of lace. I thought they'd be perfect peeking out of a pair of boots, but alas, I can't justify £48 for a pair of socks - no matter how cute! Naturally, I decided to make my own, and I'm quite pleased with how they turned out (though I still wouldn't mind having that schmancy pair, either...)! P.S. I beg you not to judge my knobby knees.

PATTERN Slouchy Newsboy Hat with Short Brim by GoodKnitKisses Map Pendants A while ago, my dad unearthed an old pocket diary and – since it was dated 2005 – was going to put it out for recycling. Of course, I rescued it! In the back of the diary was a set of maps, which I promptly pulled out for crafting with. (I have a thing about map crafts recently!) Using sections of the maps, I put together these simple pendants. Construction is really simple and uses items easily found on eBay or in your local craft shop. Here’s a tutorial! You’ll need: Map Pendant cabochon setting* Clear cabochon to fit setting* Strong, clear-drying glue (I used multipurpose) Chain** Clasp** * I used 18x25mm cabochon and setting **Alternatively use a length of ribbon or cord, and tie on. Tools: Scissors Round-nosed pliers Flat-nosed pliers Wire cutters 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. This is such a quick way of making a piece of jewellery! What with this and my Map Letter Canvas, I'm getting quite an addiction to maps!

The L-T Experience: Macrame Monday - How To - Macrame Sandals Ooooh I'm so excited to show you this project. I made my own Macrame sandals! Eeeeee!!!! Check them out. Wha?!!! You totally can! Here's how: Time Needed: About an hour Skill Needed: This project only uses one macrame knot (the square knot) - so knowledge of that is a must. I used this ball of nylon-esque yarn that I got from the thrift store. Step One: Take the original flip flops apart. Cut 5 long pieces of t-shirt yarn. String 4 pieces of the yarn through the middle "toe" hole making sure that the middle of the yarn is in line with the hole. Step Two: Take the 4 pieces of yarn sticking out the bottom of the flip flop and string two of them through each of the two holes near the back of the flip flip. Then take the final piece of yarn and string it one end up from the bottom of one hole and the other end up from the bottom of the second hole. Step Three: Start knotting a chain of square knots using the four yarn pieces poking out of the top hole. Step Five: Step Six: Step Seven: Step Eight:
