DIY Doctor who River Song's Diary


Hello Lovelies :)


      Hope everybody's keeping well..I haven't been able to do much of the Diys past few weeks with work. But summer's coming so I'm planing to do few tutorials of summer dresses :D hope I will get time to do as I say lol (#1 rule Doctor lies! Maybe I do too xD)

Grab your Sonic screw drivers because we are going to save the world with a journal update today.. Yeah hm hum..badass

As you may already know I'm a huge Doctor who fan aka a Whovian.. I was going through Pinterest few days ago trying to find a DIY tutorial for River songs's diary.. But I had no luck. The only tutorial that was there wasn't there anymore..If that makes sense.. 

So here is my take on the infamous Diary :)

You will need..

- A sheet of craft foam 
- Tissue (later I used toilet tissue paper lol)
- Some glue
- Pair of scissors 
- Tardis blue paint
- Ruler
- Blade

And of cause your Sonic Screw driver.. Pfft I mean then whole process would be nothing without it..

Oh and don't forget some epic background music..HERE I found like The most epic mix ever.. I mean EVER!


- This is my boring old Journal I do sketches on



1. First I covered my journal with some watercolor paper so I can hide the binding and provide a great light background for a even paint job.


2. In advance I actually sketched down how I need the structure to be so I could measure out how much foam I will be needing



3. This is how it looked like after I covered it..


4. I went ahead and cut 5 1cm stripes and 8 3.5cm squares for it to look like the design infront of the Tardis 


5. Placed and glued the pieces in order.. My Sonic Screwdriver helped a lot.. Yeah  



6. To make it look worn out and used I used some toilet paper (it's not only to wipe your poop :D be creative with it) and mixed white glue with water to liquidize it..
Lather the mixture and place the paper on top. It will give it a wrinkled texture, make sure you apply few coats of the glue on top as well.. 
I left it to dry over night.



7. Mixed my self few shades of blue with black to get the effect of worn out Tardis blue.. :3


Allonsy!!! :D now wasn't that easy peasy like Fish Fingers and Custard? 
I think the Doctor was pleased!



Till next time :)

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!
