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 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 - 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! 

DIY Feather Clutch

Heeellooooowwww :3

Yes yes I know I haven't been here for a while, well sorry :| 

I've been working on few sketches and doing some art work..yup!

So, I came across another easy DIY for my lovely readers :) 

Inspiration.. 

Mine....

what you will be needing,

1. A simple pencil case

2. Feathers 

3. Ribbon

4. Glue (Fabric glue/ superglue/ glue gun etc.)

6. Embellishments

Be careful and be patient when you paste on the feathers to your pencil case. Trust me if you won't, adding these feathers will be a pain in the butt! 

This is how mine turned out.... 

added two lines of ribbon and added little pearls and golden bead flowers to embellish.

Have Fun!!!
