stylorectic: rainbow 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!

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.
