DIY T Shirt Update

Greetings to diy junkies and happy new year :)
Hope everybody's new year will be full of happiness,

Starting off with the new diy post, let's admit t shirts are the most comfortable things in the whole wide world next to sweat pants, so here's how to update a boring t shirt to a brand new one screaming your personality.

so we'll be needing,

-  T shirt transfer  ( I got mine from Target)
-  T shirts (Duh) 
-  Pair of scissors 
-  Inkjet printer 
- An Iron 




- Make sure you pre wash your t shirts, most fabrics tend to shrink after washing them 


- I decided to kill two birds from one stone and set up both of my designs in one page,

Yes! I am a Whovian ;) 

- Make sure you flip your image if you are using letters, I used Picmonkey to edit my pictures 



- Cut around the design you printed and carefully place it stright where you want it to be,
- Iron over the paper and make sure you give it a good heat press, if you lack heat the transfer might be stuck to the paper not the fabric and tend to peel off afterwards 


- On the white t shirt I decided to cut carefully around the letters so it won't leave a trail of ugly glue residue

-  Also I heat pressed it a little low to get the rustic vintage look.


- To get away from the boring-ness I cut few straps and stretched it in the back.



For the Whovian representation (hahaha) I cut out the sleeves and made them bows ;) (tutorial here)

because bow ties are cool!

Enjoy!

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!

DIY - Tights/leggings/jeggings refashion

Merry Christmas :)

Hope yall had a wonderful Christmas!!

Today I'm bringing my lovely readers a refashion/upcycling project and It's going to be a really straight forward project ^^

Well, enough babbling, lets get started shall we?

You'll Need:

- Old pair of tights,leggings or jeggings!
- Scrap piece of fabric
- Need and threat or fabric glue
- pair of scissors 


I found an old pair of tights that had a ugly hole in the knee area.. I loved the color so, I thought it would be awesome for this project..



- Lay the tights inside out. Mark about 4'' lines starting from up-top wherever you want! 
like this,


- Cut slits along the line.. Make sure it doesn't go through the other side of the tights. We want just one layer of slits! 

- Take your scrap piece of fabric and cut off about 2.5'' x 1'' strips.



- Take a strip between two strips and fold the strip and sew or use fabric glue to make a bow shape!  


- You should end up with something like this after all of your bows are made :)


There you go :) easy peasy right? now you have cute bow tights to rock on with your booties or heels!

Simple to Unique

I personally don't like wearing plain knit tops. They are boring to me. So I usually get plain tops and make them in to something unique :) something only I have. Here's a great way to spice up your boring tees and tops. 

You'll need,

- Knit top/tee
- Extra piece of fabric of your choice
- Cut out of a heart
- Pair of scissors
- A pencil
- Ruler
- Some pins
- Needle and thread

Here's How to :)



Don't draw outside, remember to turn your tee inside out before you draw and pin


Place the cut off strings wherever you want, may be braid? I did one :) 



Have fun ^^
