How cute are these, even if I do say so myself? I’ve seen simlar little bracelets a few places. You know me though, why spend money on something I can make myself. What you need: Leather Cord – eBay Rounded Metal Beads – eBay Curved Tube Beads – eBay Scissors This tutorial hardly seems worthwhile, if my five year old neice can make these so … Continue reading DIY Delicate Beaded Bracelet Tutorial
Ripped jeans are such a massive trend right now. I’m not about to spend £40 on something I can rip up in my dining room in under an hour. Particularly when this old Gap pair have been balled up in the corner for a year waiting for a DIY, can you tell? I started out by pulling them on and marking where I wanted the … Continue reading DIY Ripped Jeans Tutorial
When you can’t find exactly what you want, make it yourself. My brother’s wedding turned into a DIY extravaganza, firstly with my skirt and at the last minute this little fascinator. After a nightmare trying to find the right top I gave up searching for the right fascinator and headed to Remenant Kings instead. I picked up everything I needed for under £15. 1/4 metre … Continue reading DIY Fascinator Tutorial
For those of you that follow me on Instagram and facebook I promised this tutorial last week, my apologises I got caught up with holiday plans. A few weeks ago I shared my love of full skirts, I’ve not been able to find the perfect one for me though. I wanted green, satin and a big bow, so figured I’d try and whip one up … Continue reading Your Finest Inspiration: Full Skirt – Tutorial
My DIY posts have been seriously lacking of late. When Hillarys invited me along to their crafternoon it didn’t take long for me to reply. I didn’t realise that Hillarys were so crafty, but with every new line of fabrics they have a little craft event, explore what else can be made rather than just blinds. The lovely Ladies from The Crafty Hen were on hand … Continue reading Hillarys Crafternoon
The full midi skirt made a serious comeback last year, I somehow haven’t yet managed to pick one up though. In recent months I’ve become a bit obsessed with them. I kinda want one in every colour but typically every one I fall in love with is massively out of budget. All of these dreamy skirts I came across on Pinterest. While I was exploring … Continue reading For Your Finest Inspiration
Kimono’s are everywhere, definitely a must have this summer. I love them and have been eyeing a few up for a while. When My mum brought me back this lovely scarf from Portugal I figured I could easily turn it into one. I loved the print but I’m not really one for scarfs. I’ve seen a few different ways to do this but I wanted … Continue reading Fashion Friday – DIY Kimono
I saw this awesome necklace while browsing Look magazine a few weeks ago. Much as I loved it I though £18 was a but steep for effectively a gold plated necklace and some embroidery thread. So I thought I put one together myself. All you need is: Gold necklace – I got mine for £2 in Primark Glue – I only had PVC to hand … Continue reading Got Them Gazing at my Necklace
Not Papa but me! I was inspired by Thankfifi’s wonderful sheep clutch and figured I could make a similar one with some fur I still have from my Care Bear costume. I’m not normally a pastel pink kinda girl but pastels are everywhere just now and furry handbags where dotted all over the catwalks recently. It’s a fairly simple design, which I can’t take credit … Continue reading Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag
I know it was last week and mostly likely faded into memory but I had to share a little Halloween ootd with you. Those of you that follow me on Instagram will have seen a few pics from the ODP Halloween party I attended on Saturday. What do you think of my homemade Care Bear costume?
