TIPPED OUT - thebeautydepartment.com. All photos: Kristin Ess + thebeautydepartment.com post designed by kristin ess Lots of emails this week asking for a tutorial on Lauren’s temporary bright colors.
Here I’ve replicated the process for you in 7 steps on an extension. While I never recommend bleaching out the ends of your hair at home, if you want to do the fun colors yourself, maybe get the tips bleached out by a pro + then play with the temporary colors on your own. The best things about this color– you’re able to hide it in a bun for work if you need to, AND you’re only doing a couple of inches on the bottom so it won’t kill you to cut it off if you get over it quickly. TOOLS: highlighting comb, clips, foils, color brush, hair bleach with the appropriate volume (always seek a professional when using bleach), light pink color, dark pink color, light blue, dark blue, clear gloss.
Step 1 Highlight the tips of the hair using hair bleach with the correct volume. Step 3 Shampoo and lightly condition bleach out of the hair. How To Make a String Tree Wall Mural. The Shabby Creek Cottage (chalkboard labels) This idea is super simple.
So simple that I almost didn’t post about how to make chalkboard labels. It almost seemed too easy. But, it’s kinda genius. I love chalkboards in almost every form. And I really like those removable chalkboard stickers, but they do lose their staying power after a while – and I was looking for a more permanent solution. You’ll need: Kryon chalkboard spray paintsome blank mailing labels (I like the larger ones)some sort of tape – packing tape, masking tape or painter’s tapecardboard for a base (I used the side of an old box) Tape a sheet of labels to the cardboard Use Krylon chalkboard paint to spray several light layers of paint on the labels. You could use them on jars, boxes, or even buckets. *Krylon supplied me with the paint for this project (and others to come). How To Alter Dress Forms. While you wait for the day to score yourself a vintage dress form at an estate sale you can make a new one look old and save a ton of money in the process This started out as a new $20.95 white form.
The back of the form is open and has a knob for adjusting the height. It has a heavy solid acrylic base. I Mod Podged on vintage sheet music (I have a love hate with Mod Podge...what a mess!) I printed graphics from Graphics Fairy onto sheet music by putting sheet music in my printer instead of plain paper. To age it I used walnut ink stand back and spray of fine mist over the the form and then pat with a dry cloth if there is any large blobs of ink I hot glued vintage lace on the bottom and I have myself a vintage looking form.
