DIY boho neckace

Hello again! In case you don't know, I love to DIY. Now, this DIY was inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest, which was basically this but with vintage buttons instead of just a bunch of random round things. I love this necklace! Especially because I had all of the supplies already so I didn't have to spend a nickel (;

Here is what you'll need: 

-scissors

-a scrap of felt

-random round things(beads, charms, buttons, whatever you can find)

-a hot glue gun 

-a  necklace chain that you're not using

1. First, arrange you're random round things on the felt in a tasteful manner

2. Use the hot glue to secure them to the felt.

3. Cut the felt around the objects, revealing the shape of your necklace

Make sure you leave a little tab of felt on one side, this is what we'll be hooking the chain to!

4.glue the claspless side of your chain to the back of the felt (make sure you measure how long you want it). And then you can just put use the clasp to clamp onto the little felt tab on the other side.

All done! Yay! Now you can live the bohemian life in style! Ohhmm......

Ready for the runway

I've heard time and time again "Life isn't a fashion show" from my mother, and you probably have too! But I'm here to tell you that life really is a fashion show, and your school hallways really are runways. Because of this, I always try and look presentable, especially for the very first day of school! So I'm gonna show you my "first day" outfit for my very last first day (I'm a senior this year!). 

We'll start with the statement of the outfit, my brand new black hi-waisted skinnys that I adore with my heart <3

I bought these for only $25 at Charlotte Russe, which is an amazing deal, I also got an olive green pair because I couldn't help myself! The link is under the picture :) 

Aannnddd I'm pairing said skinnys with a chic, black&white, chevron patterned sleeveless button down with an open back. 

I actually got this at TJ Maxx, and I would tell you what brand it is, but I don't know that because the tag was itchy and therefor annihilated. Also, as you can see, I really like to wear my necklaces under my collar. I'm sporting a gold, geometric necklace that I bought at the Love Inc. store a while back. I always like to shop there because the little money you pay for things goes to a fabulous cause, plus I love gold accents!

Last but not least, the feet! I don't actually own these, but as soon as I get paid I will :)

These black vans give it a more edgy look, I don't like things to look too pristine, that's just not me! Plus it gives the outfit kind of a grungy look if you're into that kinda thing. 

Anywayss, whatever you decide to wear the first day of school, wear it with confidence, and strut down those halls! 

spring is in the oxygen (:

So I went on a walk with my puppy through the woods today and picked up a little piece of moss (and named him Ross). I took him home and gave him a nice home...

DIY jar terrarium  

what you need:

Small pebbles

potting soil 

jar

plant(s)

 -First, find a nice jar and make it nice and cleanly-

-Then put about an inch of the small pebbles into the bottom of the jar-

-Fill the jar about halfway if you have rooted plants-

-then arrange the plants on top of the soil-

-Fill in the rest of the soil around the roots of the plant-

-make sure you water it:)-

*If you have moss, like I do, you don't need to do step 3, you can just fill it all the way. Also, I put a cute little kitten figurine that I got at an antique shoppe in mine, just to give it a little character.

*Water it whenever the soil is dry, however not every day because you don't want to drown the plant. If  you look at the bottom, and there is water among the rocks, you shouldn't have to water it.

have fun with your new pet plant. Be sure to name it so you get emotionally attached :)

<3get new perspective<3

Neewww pencills!

so today my advanced draw and paint teacher, Mr. Tiano, made my whole day! He comes out with these prismacolor colored pencil sets and says "These are for you to keep." and we're all like "FOR LIFE???????" and he said yes and all was well :) 

My cat (liberal personification). I made this. It looks really simple because the scanner didn't really catch all of the values, and I'm just not that good with colored pencils.

DIY custom notebook :)

Hey all! This is one of my favorite diys, just because I have this weird obsession with bound paper. I did this after dark, and I don't have my good camera anymore (sad) so sorry if the pictures are a little blurry...

DIY custom notebook! YAY!

You will need:

-some random nature :)

-paintbrush

-any kind of paint in a few colors

-10 pieces of printer paper(or whatever you have around)

-one slightly larger piece of thicker poster/bristol paper

-stapler(not shown)

the first thing you'll do is fold all 10 pieces of printer paper in half hot dog style all together. (0.o my hand looks weirrrrrd)

then fold your poster paper in half, and nest the printer paper inside (matching them in the center)

Staple all the papers together on the crease with the pokey side of the staples on the inside.

put 2-3 staples along the crease of the paper

you gotta love random nature :)

paint said nature with a healthy coat of any color you want

use the nature as a stamp and layer layer, and layer some more .

Using the grass gives you a really rough, grunge look plus makes anyone look like a pro.

I put a couple of embellishments on there including one of my found branches and a white silhouette of a birdy I doodled. For me, that's what really made it. Remember your creative license...

YAY ALL DONE ^_^ here's a cute celebratory bunny:P
