♒ 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

Situation of my hair before I color!

New store update! ❤

Hello everyone,

                        oh yeah! you must be wondering, store? what store?
It's actually still on beta testing stage. I opened up a facebook page for my cold porcelain miniatures and charms. Why? because I often get lots of people asking to make some for them and I simply say oh sorry I just make the for a hobby and they often give me the crazy eye asking why don't I do it as for a little business and take orders. I often will give a slouchy answer like oh I have school I'm busy and runaway as fast as I could from them.

So I said to my self what the hack and opened a fanpage yesterday. To be honest it;s exciting.

https://www.facebook.com/colourmeeverywhere 


Now that is the page, I'm planing to sell my miniature charms from $1 - $5 (Rs.100 - Rs.500) nothing more than that. I do take custom orders. Shipping will be ttly free and also I target customers in Sri Lanka and Canada mostly but I'm wiling to take orders elsewhere too..

And to show you whats available for now in my store,

These sell for $1.70 (Rs.200) each and there will be more available in another two days of time :) I will make sure I update this post by then.

Thanks lovelies!
Enjoy your week!   

❦ 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 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!
