DIY - Vintage Inspired Jewellery Display

Hello crafters,


                           Today I have an exciting new project to share with you all.. it's a two in one vintage inspired jewellery display. Lately I have been trying to get my jewellery organized in a matter that is handy to gab and wear without trying to look for it every morning. So I have been searching on pintrest of nifty ideas.
That's when I came across this super duper idea :)

I think it's very beautiful and efficient, also it's cheap and easy to make.

You'll be needing, 

- A Photo frame 
- Decorative paper ( Scrapboooking paper)
- Some tiny nails (About 1'')
- A Kitchen wire brush (Or sandpaper)
- Hammer 
- Acrylic paint and paint brush
- Pair of scissors 
- Glue






You can find all these items at your local craft store or a dollar store..

1. First I started by painting the frame. I didn't remove the glass so I will have a guide line where to finish off painting. 
you can also use spray paint. 

2. After the paint was dried I carefully took off the stand attachment at the back 

3. Then using the handy little wire brush (or sandpaper) I scraped off some of the paint to give it a worn out look. 

4. Next I took the glass off and the paper inside. Using the paper as a guide line I cut off a piece of decorative paper for liner.

5. I used my trusty ol' E6000 glue to stick the paper on and also secured the back as well. 

 The paper and the frame went so well together it looked so pretty. At this point of time I couldn't contain my excitement I ran around the house with it. lol 

6. I used the horizontal side and started marking where I wanted my nails to sit. I carefully hammered the nails in place. 

If you are fairly young please get an adult to do this. Sometimes because the nails are delicate it can fly off and you'll end up hammering your tiny fingers.

7. For the empty place with the paper I hammered some nails from the back and when I push them in I put some glue so they will be secured. Also glued some beads to the sharp ends so I won't poke my self.

And there you go :) easy enough.

A wonderful vintage inspired jewellery display.

I donno whether I should call it new or old. lol

Stay beautiful.

DIY - Earring holder (Starring The Doctor(s))

Helloooo :)

                Hope everyone is doing fantastic. Oh I have been busy with work and school.. Yes yes I know I always give excuses. -_-


Before I forget! I'm finally meeting MATT SMITH AND KAREN GILLIAN (11th Doctor and Amy Pond) and at Calgary Comic Expo this weekend! :D

I'm so freaking excited. Finally a Whovian moment to remember!


How many of you have had little bowls full of earrings? and you just dig through it to find the other one of those tiny pair, it's like a never ending dig isn't it? like you are digging a tunnel to China.. ha

What a catastrophe!

 Here I found a beautiful way to arrange your earrings and also to display them very nice and neat!

With this I think I'm more organized. lol

I used some things I gathered from a Dollar store.

So the things you'll be needing,                       

- A Canvas/Frame                               
- Duct tape
- Plastic Cross stitch cavas

easy enough? 

We don't need the Canvas just need the frame..

In that picture I just took it out! And also you can use just a picture frame.


Next you just have to cut around the Plastic Cross stitch canvas for it to fit the frame and glue it down. 

The I just used my duct tape to wrap around the frame so it'll have a nice touch.

aaaaannnddd my duct tape ran out... 

lol then but I found a spare pink one... wasn't that bad was it?

And done :)

Hope you enjoyed my post with The Doctors! lol 

Love ♥

DIY easy Oero cookie crumble frappuccino recipe

Hello ladies,

                  Hope everybody's having a fantastic weekend :3 Weather is beautiful in Calgary although it's looking a bit cloudy right now.

So frappuccino talk! :D I love Starbucks but not really a hot drink fan there. I always order a Java Chip.. oh I can hear the angels sing when I take a zip I swear.

Not quite the Starbucks menu's knock off drink but this taste sooo good as if you were enjoying some of theirs. It doesn't even take 10mins to make this seriously.

Making a delicious drink like this can`t get any simpler!

What you need, (3 servings)

- 2 cups of regular dark coffee (475ml)      

- 1 1/2 cups of milk (350ml)
- 2 cups of ice cubs 
- 3 tablespoons of sugar 
- Few Oreo cookies
- Chocolate syrup (optional) 


So after you gather all your items you just have to add them to your blender and blend a little. Make sure cookies and ice don't get crushed in to bits. We still need be able to have some crunchy goodness. Don't we? :)




- Blend away ( oh, look at the way they dance.) 

Optionally I added some chocolate syrup to my yummy cookie crumble.! (oh so beautiful) 

And some appreciation on my Yo Gabba Gabba shorts :3 

I store the left over in the refrigerator for my sister. Little did I know half of it was gone an hour pass by. Lol What happened? my mom that;s what happened! 

I tried to clean off my closet and I ended up with a garbage bag full of cloths I don't wear anymore. They are going in to a donation box! :)

Hope everybody will have a lovely weekend, make some frap and relax!

♒ DIY kool-aid hair dye & DIY hair lightening ♒

Hello ladies, :)

                   Hope everybody is keeping there well. So today with hair talk.

 I'm sure at least once in a life time you have colored your hair..right?

 There are hair color with various chemicals out there, but here I have a chemical free way to get any color you desire. 

*A quick little note, if you have black or dark hair this method won't really give a pigmented color. So to achieve a high pigmented color you can lighten your hair with this method,

Hair lightening

you'll need,

- Lemon or lime juice   

- Sun light

1. Squeeze half of a lemon or lime in to a small bowl.

2. Part your hair, and add your lemon juice on strands where you need to be lightened.

3.Stay outside in sunlight for about 30mins 

4. Wash your hair as normally and dry  

5. Do this few times until you achieve to results you expected. 

So if you are happy with  the way you hair turned out, lets go and color it crazy shall we!

Kool-aid hair dyeing

Kool aid! yes yes! the refreshing drink!

I'm sure you have heard of this before, but didn't really try to do it.  I really don't know if there's a substitute for kool-aid for those who can't find them. If i came across something I will be happy to update this post.

Dyeing few strands,

You'll need,

- Few single packs of kool-aid

- A tall container

- Some water

Situation of my hair before I color!

 1. Boil some water and add few packs of kool-aid until you get the color you need.

Here's a chart of colors you can get by mixing different flavors kool-aid. 

2. Wait till the water cool down and pour it in to a tall container.

3. Place your hair in to the container and.......wait! 

First I was like,

But then, 

I got tired lol

4. Wait 20 mins and wash your hair with conditioner. 

Dyeing a large area

1. Mix some kool-aid powder with hair conditioner 

2. When you achieve the right color, lather the paste on your hair

3. Wait 20 mins and wash the paste off.

Here's how my hair turned out,

Color on lovies!!! :)

❦ DIY Jewelry travel roll ❦

Hello Ladies,

                   I'm here with another DIY. For this I got inspired from Mr.Kate, She has a great alternative way to carry your jewelry instead of.
This,

I know many of us just have a very grr arrrm argh times when we untangle our necklaces and bracelets like this.

Mr.Kate has a super genius alternative way that you can carry them without those moanings and groanings that cannot be uttered lol,

so I took a shot on my own way to make this, it very easy and I customized mine,


Let's get Started shall we,

You'll need,  

- Two pieces of rectangle fabrics 
- Ribbon
- Fabric glue or any other glue you like (I used hot glue gun)
- Pair of scissors
- A lighter








1. I cut out my smaller square to be 40x30 and for the lager square I added 2-2.5 inches around 

2. Fold the outside extra bit half. Fold it again and glue to make the edges nice and neat.

3. I left one side open. I cut few ribbons that are about 5 inchs long. Mark where the outside fold in, make them in to a loop and glued them in a raw. 

 4. That's pretty much how the basic roll is made. You can hang your necklaces from the loops you just created. 

You can attach a long piece of ribbon on the outside or two, so you can tie your roll close 

As an extra add on I made a roll of faux fur to hold my rings :) 

Easy pacey? and head over to Mr.Kate's website (here) to see her tutorial on these with Ispy DIY.

Enjoy :) and happy Diy-ing! ❤

DIY - Ever so famous bow earrings

As I promised, this is the second post for the week.. woohoo :D

So , many people have been asking and buying my Ever so famous bow earrings.  lol thats what I call the anyways. 

And they look like this.

So here's me trying to teach you guys how to make one of your own very easily.

This is just a one way I make them :)

To get started we need,

- Ribbon (about 1/2 meter)

- Little rhinestones

- Fabric glue or any kind of  strong glue

- Elastic bands

- A pair of scissors

1. Fold your ribbon like below to determine the length you want your bow to be. 

2. Cut out tiny triangle shapes from ends and burn, do this to prevent your ribbons from unraveling. 

3. This is my secret little weapon :D elastic hair bands!  

5. To prevent elastic from cracking, secure it with the glue of your choice. I used Aleen's dry cleanable fabric adhesive. 

6. After those dry off add a little rhinestone in the middle. 

 7. Let those dry up and add your earring base and you are done :) 

:) and of cause I take custom orders just drop me a message. Here are the ribbons I have for the orders. 

Happy Crafting!
