While on instagram I found another great tutorial for very stylish nails and Nik (the instagramer) has allowed me to feature her on my blog and here she has put together instructions with handy photos, to tell you how to get fashionable nails just like hers. (Thanks Nik!) Enjoy! Happy nail painting :)

DIY: Belt Purse

While I was researching diy tutorials on instagram I came across a rather interesting and smart creation. A purse made from belts, the instagramer being Lisa agreed to let me feature her diy tutorial on here for everyone to try. Thanks Lisa Succo!

Method:
STEP 1: gather supplies-hot glue gun, scissors, sharpie, and (depending on the size purse you want) gather an odd amount of belts (3,5,7,etc.) to create balance, and an additional belt to use for the strap.

Mother's Day Cushion

I didn't know what to do for my mum for mothers day and because I have been trying different techniques in making cushions, I decided to make one for her and try something new for my self. I didn't have filling for the cushion, that's why the cushion looks saggy, however it turned out well, I did my first automatic buttonhole with my sewing machine and made it rectangle instead of a square. Here's how it turned out:

Cushion with matching couch

Rebel Rebel

Feeling like you need a causal and rebel look, why not try this! 

Its easy to put together and can be mixed and matched with a lot of other accessories. 

A little bit of skater, a little bit of black, red, white and a little bit of coolness, 

will give you this fashionable look. Enjoy!

Pastel Chalk Hair

So I'm gonna dye my hair soon and I'm doing dip dying, purple and wanted to try if dip dying would suit me, so I found a temporary way to view this. I found a link to colour your hair with chalk pastels (http://crazetexture.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/hair-chalking.html?), it easy and fast to do, though I found it tends to work better with people, who have light coloured hair. However here is how mine turned out. (My before after dip dyed hair up soon!)

Hope you Like!
