Thank you so much! Remember to send us any requests or suggestions :)

sempiter-no sent: Okay so I have a black, short-sleeve shirt that zips up the front. Despite the zipper, I think it's a bit bland. I was wondering if you might have any ideas on what to do with it? I'm thinking of making it like a punk-ish/goth-ish shirt :)

The first idea I have which is my go-to fixer-upper is studding it. Add square studs the color of the zipper around the collar spaces about half an inch apart each. Do the same around the sleeves. You can also sew lace trim around the edges. Hem it on INSIDE OUT so it pokes from underneath the shirt when you put it on. Lastly, you can buy a long chain strand from craft stores. Buy a very thin chain the color of the zipper on the shirt. Turn the shirt over and lay the chain out in crisscross formation like a corset. Sew each “corner” of the zigzag so the chains dangle. You can also do three or four chains across the lower back of the shirt like this

You can even use the chains to tighten the shirt up a little if it’s loose. Experiment with these different things! hope this helps :)

Ombre Lips

Yay or Nay?

For the “white” use concealer or highlighter. This often makes lips look bigger and plumper. What I like to do is instead of using white or skin color, I use a much lighter almost nude pink, that way my lips don’t look too faded.

Oreo Popsicles

These are delicious and perfect for the summer. The tutorial is from little inspirations.

What you will need:
6-10 Oreos, crushed
2/3 cup of heavy whipped cream
1 cup of Cool whipped topping (thawed)
1 tbs of sugar
1 tsp of vanilla
Oreo crumbs for garnish
Shooter Glasses or popsicle molds

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the whipping cream, whipped cream, sugar, and crushed oreos. Mix it very well but it’s okay if it’s still a bit crumbly. Pour the mix into the shooter glass or popsicle mold. Add the oreo crumbs on top and freeze for an hour. Then add the popsicle sticks. Freeze for another two hours. Add warm water to a small bowl and insert the popsicles in their container to soften for a few seconds, this makes them easier to extract.

Made them? Let us know how they turned out!

Murica Shorts
Cut out star shapes from cardboard or plastic, something thick that paint wont go through. Lay them out on a pair of jean shorts. Place a peice of cardboard inside the shorts so the paint won’t bleed through. Paint over the whole half of the front panel of the short. The blue paint shouldn’t go all the way around to your butt. Use acrylic or fabric paint. On the other side you can use tape to make stripes. Fill them in red. You can optionally paint every other stripe white, but if your stars are going to be jean colored, so should the stripes.
Let them dry for a day to be extra safe.

Wine Bottle Light
If you’ve yet to make one of these, then you’re missing out! These are super easy to make. All you need is any colored bottle (preferably wine bottle because of the size), a drill (optional but looks better), and a short string light strand or other small lights.
First you need to make sure you wash out the bottle and take all labels off of it. Next you drill a small hole on the bottom side. Feed the lights in through there. Make sure the wall plug is still sticking out. Plug it in!
A lot of people cork the top up but I do not recommend this. It will heat up the bottle too much.
Three in a row of these always makes any room look good :)

Made the project? Send us your pictures to show our followers!

How to make a fimo rose:

you need: red fimo (but you can use also pink, yellow white ecc.) and a cutter

1. make seven balls from small to big
2. press them until the are very thin
3-4. roll the smallest one to form the rose’s center
5. now roll the the second ‘petal’ around the flower’s centre
6-7. do the same with the other petals
8. cut the rose’s bottom
9. open the external petals

That’s done :) (you just have to cook it at 100° C for 30 minutes) than you can use it as a charm , as a ring or whatever you want ^_^
