Day 18:- Copper wire ring

I'm a ring kinda girl and am currently obsessed with full finger rings so when I acquired some copper I was like fook yeah lets do this. So this is really super duper quick and easy, my shortest video yet.

Video after le jump

Day 10:- Ankara sunglasses

Day 8:- Moo Moo to maxi skirt

So if you follow the blog you'll know I have a YouTube obsession and currently one of my favourite Yt shows is the couple. So when I saw this episode I died a little inside because i have a few moo moo-ish dresses and i love them but alas, if you want to take your moo moo from frumpy and comfy to sexy and comfy stay tuned. 

Day sorta 7:- Ankara Clutch Revamp pt 2

So apparently blogger and I have some issues to deal with in couples therapy. Blogger is insistent on ignoring my efforts and allowing me to show them to the world. So be prepared for multiple post in quick succession.

Day 5-: The Head band

(Damn you blogger for not rotating my pics)

Another simple tutorial. Completed in one episode of Big bang.

So for this DIY you'll need :

strips of cloth and you guessed it im using ANKARA.

Elastic

Sewing needle and thread

optional: Glue gun

Day 4:- ColourBLOCK shoes

So this DIY was prone to a lot of trial and error. Initially I tried paint but it didn't look how i wanted it to so I looked through my stash of material and found a sexy fuchsia scraps and was like 'this will work' . So this DIY was about the length of an episode of Single Ladies excluding drying time.

 So I started off with a pair of flats that just weren't cutting it. #Oldladychurchshoeswag

Day 3: Ankara Clutch - The Revamp

So this clutch is actually a travel pocketbook for your documents that my mum has had for like a billion years. It was falling apart and needed to go in the bin but my inner hoarder said NO STOP WE CAN STILL LOVE IT (seriously i need help). So I grabbed some ankara and my glue gun and gave it the loving it needed, while watching Nollywood. And it only took about 20 mins . 

All you need is your cloth, an old bag an adhesive (i'm using my trusty glue gun) and a pair of scissors (and a ruler is optional)

Begin by measuring your fabric leaving a centimeter perimeter 

Cut around your material 

 Glue around the seams that are already there and press your fabric onto the adhesive putting a book on it to mesh the two materials together.

 Seeing as it was orgininally a pocketbook for documents I had to cut out the tags on the sections 

 Next find your clasp

 And make a small incision and push it through 

 Any excess material can be pushed under the clasp to neaten and secure.

And Voila a simple clutch revamp. 

Day 2:- Knee High Boots To Ankle Boots

This is a really simple DIY and a perfect chance to transform some of your winter wears to spring ones. 

I've had these blasted boots for ages, but being the hoarder that I am, I couldn't simple throw them away. So what to do with hideous boots, you ask......turn them in to ankle boots. 

Firstly find the seam of the boot and if yours have a really low one then create one a little further up. 

Then cut all along your seam.

Next try on the boot to see how the ankle fits and ifs its to large measure how much space you would need for a snug fit and make a crescent at the back of the boot then cut  along that crescent you made.

Next pull the cresent down to the point you have measured  and either glue or sew it down along with the rim of the mouth of the boot an Voila instant ankle boot.

Warning: If you are using a glue gun please be careful, I have lost skin to that bloody machine. 

Anyway Til tomorrow 

Peace 

Boo

Idiy: Nailz did

Dope right! I found this on Miss Jia's tumblr and tried it.

1. Paint your base coat
P.s choose a light colour so the print will show clearly
2. Once your nails are dry, cut out some squares of news paper, then soak your nails in alcohol and press the news paper on them and Voila.... printed nails

Here's my version


Not the best maybe because I got a little too excited and didn't wait until my nails were fully dry. Le sigh.
Til next time kids

This Moments inspiration...

So I have decided.... for the next couple of months, I'm going to be cheap and not give in to binge shopping. Purely only to encourage and motivate myself to actually get out my sewing machine and release my inner 'Gok Wan'!

All I need now is some inspiration to get me going....
