Tutorial On Felt Hair Flower

Today we are going to make a hair flower!  Doesn't it look lovely?……


You will need felt (two colors)
scissors 
a button (for the center)
Hot glue gun
Hair clip (optional)

 You will need to cut out triangles like these….. 20-25 yellow and 20-25 blue :)

 Use a hot glue gun and put a dab on the bottom of the triangle...

 Fold the edge over…..

 And then put more glue and fold the other edge over!

 Look at all these cute, little petals!!!! :)

 Now we are going to glue them into a ring...

 Use your glue gun and glue them together in a circle one at a time...

 Now, you should have a flower with no middle!

 This is the back side….

 Next, take your blue and start gluing them down into a circle...

 It should look something like this…...

 I love felt :)))))

 Glue a button or whatever else you would like in the center and attach a clip… beautiful!!!!

I made another one because I loved the first so much!!!!!!


Enjoy!

Tutorial On Nail Art

 These are so cool and all you need is nail polish, tape, and time!!!!!

 Target Clearance :))))

I chose the colors yellow, pink, and blue…. 

Paint your nails one solid color.  Choose a lighter color for this step because we will be applying nail polish on top.  

Now wait 10 minutes or so until your nails dry….

Then tape off a section of your nail…. Like in pic above.

 Paint with 2nd color….. blue for me :)

 TA DA!   This was probably my un straightess line :)  It was also my first :)

 Repeat on every other one of your fingers…..

 See…. this line was better :)

 You can change colors and sides… See the blues are on different ends???

 Now wait 10 more minutes or until they dry, and tape of another section like in the pic above :)

 Now paint it the contrasting color….

 You can also do a technic like this where you tape off both sections and paint the inside….

 Like a triangle……..

 WOW!!!!!! Don't they look fantastic!?????  I love the way mine turned out.  Just remember to let them dry in between really good.  Otherwise you will take your nail polish off once you go to tape it. :)

Make sure you try different color combinations!!!!!!!!!! :D

Have FUN!

Tutorial On Lace T-Shirt

                                                           Ok, so here we go! 
I made this about 6 months ago, but am just getting around to posting it!  :)  To make this shirt, you will need:


~ A plain t-shirt (any color)
~ Scissors
~ Lace
~ Pins
~ Sewing machine
~Thats it! 


On to the tutorial….

 Take your shirt...

 And lay your lace on top of it…. mine was about 3" wide but you can adjust this.  :)

 On the bottom of the shirt,  fold it under and cut, leaving an inch under the shirt….

 See??? Now pin your lace in place on the shirt...

 Follow the pic to make sure you have it correct.  We are not going to worry about the top just yet. :)

 Take your sewing machine and using your ZIG ZAG stitch, run across the bottom.  Make sure you only do the FRONT of the shirt, otherwise you will have sewn your shirt together.  :)

 Just like this>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 Now sew along both sides, attaching the lace…..
Once again, Make sure you only sew the lace to the front of the shirt!!!! Not the front and back...

 Now on to the neckline of the shirt….
Trace around the neckline and cut around it...

 using your straight stitch… or zig zag… sew around the neckline… only sewing the lace o the front of the shirt.  :)

 And there you have it!!!!!!   Isn't it beautiful?!

Enjoy your new shirt!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) ;) 

Nothing Else to Post...

~Well, this my dear readers would be a…. "I have nothing else to post" post.  I really need to make something.  :)  And it's not that I haven't made anything!  I just have to take pictures of everything and then upload them….. SO much work!!!!  :) Just kidding.  It's rather easy.  So for now at least, you get an extra-large picture of my nails which I water marbled.

~ I first had to tape around my nails with normal tape.  Then, in a glass of water you drop in nail polish.  All colors.  Mine were purple, blue, green and white.  Soon after  the nail polish is put in the water, (as soon as you can) swirl the colors with a toothpick.  Now dip your nail inside this… It's a bit tricky and you might have to practice this a few times.  Once you have successfully dipped you nail in, take it out and then take off the tape.  Clean up the edges and you are done!!!!! This was my first time ever doing it so I kind of messed up.  :P

~ And that is all until next time.  Once again I don't have any pictures for this lonely post….. A post without pictures, how sad.  :(((  At least I have an extra-large picture of my hand??????

:)  

Headband Part 3

 Ok… the third and final chapter of this amazing headband!!!  The only other thing you will need is 2 18" pieces of ribbon, (the white) and 2…. 4" pieces of ribbon.   :)   Oh… and a glue gun!


To see the other parts of this tutorial, go here, here, and here.   :)

Now take all of your end yarn pieces and lay them out so none of them are overlapping each other.















Now take your glue gun and glue the ends together!!!

Keep on gluing until all your ends are glued together.  :)

Then snip the ends to make a clean cut… just make sure all the ends stay glued...

 I also glued this part… where my finger is, to keep it from gapping.

                                             SEE???  Much better.  :)

Wrap this ribbon around gluing as you go...

Do this to both ends…. and…..

YAY!!! :D you are finished….

TADA!!!! It looks sooooo good.  (and even better on.)  :)
