DIY Floral Crown

 I know it's winter but i finally decided to make it. i think it turned out really pretty, but it looks kind of bridal-y. I suppose i will probably wear it in the spring time. Now to find a dress to go with it. :D
It only took $2 to make!! i had coupons from joann's.
Fake flowers 1.80
paper wires   1.20 for pack of six so 20 cents each
total $2.20
enjoy the tutorial!!

You're going to need: 

-1-2 stalks of fake flowers

- paper covered wires

-pliers (optional)

buy these paper covered wires. (you can go for regular wires but this looks more natural). You're probably going to need two wires per person. make a circle big enough so your head can pass through.

 clip some branches of the fake flower off . then wind the "backbone" (thickest part) around the paper wire circle. It may be thick so i used some pliers. Then wind the branches you clipped off and you can rearrange the flowers and leaves by plucking them off gently and replacing them.

intertwine the flower wire between the paper wire so it's secure

done!

Sorry for bad lighting. looks pretty though.


 

DIY ideas for Christmas

take a plain shirt and sew some lace trim on the shoulders, or down the side of the shirt. looks instantly more expensive.

DIY Lace Mickey/Minnie Mouse Headband

I've been obsessed with mickey/minnie mouse ears lately and had some black lace laying around, so why not combine the two?

Your Going to need:

headband

lace

rubber wrapped wire

black electrical tape or black paint (if your wires aren't black)

chalk

pliers

sewing machine

hot glue gun

bend the wires around something round. the two circles should be around 4 inches apart.

trace one ear onto a piece of paper leaving the bottom as a rectangle. cut it out

trace out four pieces of lace using the template.

stack two pieces together and sew using zigzag stich. repeat to the other two pieces.

wrap the wires with electrical tape or paint only if the wires aren't already black.

bend the wires around the headband to secure. make sure they're sturdy and won't move.

turn the two lace ears inside out and insert the wires.

glue the ends of the lace by wrapping it around where the wire meets the headband.

take a black ribbon (used velvety fabric b/c didn't have any) and cut into a long strip.

start wrapped it around the headband and secure with hot glue.

this is what it should look like.

 

for minnie mouse wrap a red ribbon in the middle.

 and done!!

Day Three

Left really early in the morning to Hollywood. By the time we came back the power was back on. Now I kinda miss not having electricity.

Day Two

Well more like part two. Last night we sat in the dark with a flashlight in the middle of the table and ate guac and chips. Some jarred salsa. And some persimmons. Couldn’t sleep last so stayed up playing with the ipad until 20% battery left. Then sleep.

Next morning still no power. Sadd.. but heh this is actually kind of fun living without power and relying on candles and flashlights. Today we were able to go to my friend’s mom’s office which had electricity. Thank god. Watched all the dramas and youtube videos I could. Too bad I didn’t take my cell phone charger. Running low on batteries. One bar left. Blehh.

Just took a shower with a flashlight. Takes on a whole new meaning to 5 minute shower. Heh my dad brought home some super bright flashlights. We’re probably the house with the most light right now. Well end for now. I’ll be blogging until this electricity is back on.

The Apocolypse Is Coming!!!

if you are living in the la area you will know what i am talking about. This wednesday,November 30th, winds up to 40 mph went through our town and raped our trees. It started at about 11 at night and didnt stop til morning. It was so loud that i had to go downstairs to get a pair of earplugs and it sounded like our house was getting attacked by ghosts.(if ghosts were to make sounds that is what they would sound like)

Next morning was a freaking disaster. OH and did i mention i don't have electricity???  meaning no lights.no internet, no homephone, no microwave, no cooking, well you get the point. but fortunately gas and plumbing all worked and i had a lighter. Had to make toast with a pan.i have no idea how i survived the whole day without electricity. >.<

outside was even worse. our trees in the backyard were all naked.we were considered lucky.the neighbors across the street weren't. unfortunately they had left their car parked outside and unfortunately a tree fell on it. All i heard the whole morning was a chainsaw being used to cut that tree into pieces.


walking to my friend's house i saw more damage that the wind had created.the creepy old house on the corner had trees surrounding it. They didn't make it. They toppled over the chainlinked fence and took the traffic light with it. school was canceled and most of the stores and restaurants were closed.

night time was even worse. we only relied on one flashlight and a super dim flashlight and candles. the candles were freaking tealight candles. not much light. sadly my friend didn't have a lighter so i had to strike a match (which i've never done before. took me forever.) to light the candle. Now you're wondering why i didn't light the gas with the match, because it is freaking short. so i have to use a wooden chopstick to light the pan. ugh. so much energy just to make toast again. night time was soo creepy. pitch dark and with not enough flashlights we had to stick together. do you know how scary it is just the use the restroom? *sigh* okay this is a super long post.alrighty. byes!
