DIY Floral Head Piece

Here is my first rendition of a floral head piece!
I think they are beautiful designs; very elegant and poised.
It's a dramatic statement of simplicity and beauty.
Super easy to make, and super-duper inexpensive! :)

Supplies: You will need artificial flowers ~ and this can range with any kind, style, color, etc. Honestly? I bought these two bundles at the dollar store. Although, Hobby Lobby has some excellent selections on artificial flowers, and they are often 50% off. You will also need some wire cutters, some strong yarn/ribbon/or twine (I used twine), green floral tape, and scissors.

This entire project only cost me two dollars, as I already had all
supplies except the two artificial flower bouquets.

The first step, once you have collected your supplies, is to cut each floral stem off of the artificial bouquet so that it stands alone.

Then, you are going to lay out your design.
I simply put the two different colored flowers together, along with the twine, and then proceeded to the next step.

Next you want to wrap everything together, tightly.
The first time I used green floral tape, I found it a bit tricky (and a bit sticky). Just take your time (go slowly!) and you will do great!

This is a photo about half-way through the wrapping. I did everything in two's, to keep it easy to wrap, and then just added on down the line.

Here is my finished project! It isn't perfect, but there is beauty in the imperfections. Later on, I want to make a full wrap-around head piece, but this was a good start and first experience! It was very simple, inexpensive, and I love the finished result!


Here are some photos of my wearing the floral head piece:

Hope you enjoyed!
Please send me photos of any designs you create!
P.S. Half the photos of myself were taken by my darling and wonderful husband.

DIY Phone Case

Hello my darlings!

Life is a little hectic these first weeks of school, but I have so many idea's for fabulous future postings! Modge Podge. If you have never used it, you simply must. It is like the ultimate form of glue for any sort of decoupage project you could ever imagine! I'll probably end up having an entire post for Mod Podge, but for now just know it is indeed a crafting wonder that is easy to adore.

Okay, here is my four step guide to Mod Podging your cell phone case.

1. Make sure you have a clean area to work on, and that your product is clean. If you are adding glitter, I would suggest placing a paper underneath so that you can put the glitter back in the tube so that it doesn't get everywhere.

2. Paint on your Mod Podge unto the surface that you are going to be adding the glitter to.

3. Sprinkle glitter over the entire surface of your cell phone case (my favorite part!).

4. Let dry, then seal with several coats of Mod Podge on top. I think this is the step most people forget about, and thus getting into trouble with chipping.

Et voila! You will need to let everything dry over night (and perhaps have some drying time in between coats of Mod Podge)and then you are good to go! I have gotten many compliment on my cell phone case and it was such a simple project that added so much flare!

I hope you enjoyed this post, as it perhaps added some bedazzle and glitter to your life! Have a wonderful afternoon, dear friends!

DIY Earring Holder

Hello darlings!



Obviously, this is an issue. You cannot always find the second earring to the pair, or if you are like me, when things are simply in clusters... they are more prone to get lost! So, let's resolve this issue and make something, darling.

Supplies you will need: A picture frame (preferably one with a back, though it is not required), some cardboard (I used an old box from the post office), E-6000 glue (best stuff ever), black electrical tape (or fun duct tape could be used for more flare), scissors and then a piece of decorative paper or fabric (of your choice) for your background (not pictured).

You will need to cut the cardboard to fit inside of your picture frame. You want to also cut out your paper or fabric so that it fits properly! I went ahead and used the E6000 glue to ensure that the paper and cardboard did not fall out of my frame. This step isn't necessary, but I would highly recommend it.

Then, you want to go ahead and tape up the back. If your frame fits inside and you can fold the little metal pieces over, go ahead and do this! But my frame was too small in comparison, so I used tape to make sure the backing stayed on and did not fall apart. That would be such a tragedy!

Here is a picture of what my frame looks like standing up like a picture frame. If I had more counter-space, I would keep mine standing upright like this because it is so cute! However - due to limited counter-space, and endless wall-space in our home, I chose to hang it instead.

This is my final result! To the left, the frame is hanging without any earrings posted in there yet. To the right, I simply punched the earring back through the cardboard to hold and display them in an organized fashion.

Hope you enjoyed this post! It was a fairly easy project, inexpensive and didn't take much of any time at all! If you make this, be sure to tag me, email or comment your results. I would LOVE to see them!

Bienvenue à tous!
