Glow Stick Fun



glow stick + glass bottles = beauty = photoshoot

















HOW TO:
Well it's pretty easy! All you do is get some glass bottles or jars or whatever and break a glow stick into them, then shake it around some

DIY Headscarf






Anybody else love that boho chic look of headscarves?

Well considering my empty pockets, I decided to make my own!




Here's how:




GATHER YOUR MATERIALS:
  • An old scarf, preferably one that's pretty thin
  • scissors
  • a silver sharpie {not completely necessary}
  • your head!



STEP ONE:
Tie the scarf around your head and keep it knotted. Try to tie it towards one end.



STEP TWO:
Mark off where you want to cut the scarf.
You want the ends of the headscarf to be semi-short - you should be able to tuck them under the scarf when it's on your head.



STEP THREE:
Cut where you have marked. {You'll probably want to do some extra trimming once you've cut it and played with it some}


{When I wear mine, I usually tuck the loose ends under 
the scarf so you just see the knot on top}

enjoy!

DIY Map Box

we all love take-out, don't we?

well how about turning take-out into art?
I'm not sure what I'll use it for yet, maybe to hold jewelry or notes


Here's how:



GATHER YOUR MATERIALS:
  • a map (preferably an old one that you don't use anymore)
  • scissors
  • a pencil
  • mod podge (or glue)
  • a paint brush (to spread the mod podge or glue)
  • a Chinese food take-out box




STEP ONE:
Unfold da box. Easy so far, right?



STEP TWO:
Trace the box onto the map in a desired area & cut it out



STEP THREE:
Glue the map piece to the box & fold it up!
VOILA!


Enjoy!

Here are some more photos of the process & finished product:
