MockingJay Necklace

I know, i'm awesome you don't have to tell me. What's that? I'm not awesome? Well i'm going to hunt you down and kick your ass prove you wrong. I recently started reading the hunger games (Don't mean to be a hipster, but i'd heard of it way before the movie came out. Although that does look amazing!) and i fell in love with the cover. And the book, but mainly the cover. I love the idea of the MockingJay so i decided to make my own brooch/necklace. I haven't decided which yet, but i think i might make it both! In the course of writing this DIY out, i decided to make it into both.

Ingredients:
- Shrinky Dink
- Hunger Games book or a template
- An X-Acto knife
- Paint/Nail Varnish
- 2 Pairs of pliers
- Chain (If you want a necklace)
- Brooch Back (If you want a brooch)
- Pencil
- Jump Ring (If you want a necklace)

Jumping on the bandwagon'

Interchangeable Necklaces

I love to match my jewelerry to my outfit. I thought this necklace was cute, so i then though, why not make more of them? Make them interchangeable! I made three different colours, pink, blue and green.

Ingredients:
- Chain
- Fimo (Three or more colours)
- Round object to draw around or cut with
- Two pairs of pliers
- Three jump rings (Or however many peices you've made)
- Push pin
- Lobster clasps (Optional)

Guitar St-Rings

My boyfriend plays guitar, so i asked him if he could keep his old guitar strings for me, so i can DIY myself some pretty things. Today he handed me a pile of rings that he'd made which were he cutest things in the world. So i decided that i needed to share it with someone. So here's todays tutorial:

Ingredients:
- Old guitar strings
- Wire cutters (Not your best ones because they really blunt them fast)
- Ring sizer or something that's the same size as your finger (I used a nail varnish bottle that's the same size as my rings)

- A heart template. Draw one or steal mine

Blog Adorin'

Impulsive

That title just completely describes my mood as i wake up this morning. I just impulsively (Eh? Post title and big word, right there) made a rugby ball/american football necklace. I woke up with the idea (And the realization that i'm in love with Rizzle Kicks), so here's my first real tutorial:

- A cutting mat
- An X-Acto knife
- Some Fimo
- 2 Pairs of pliers

Crisis!

I'm currently in a bit of a style crisis. Mainly because the freaking weather just cannot make up it's mind about what it's doing outside. One minute it's sunny >Cue visions of frolicking in meadows in floral dresses< and then the next minute it's puring down with rain >Cue visions of those floral dresses in tights under just as floral unbrellas< I like cute umbrellas as much as the next person, but i'd rather not have to use them. With my crisis underway, i take to yahoo answers to see what's goin' on there and if anyone can help. Of course they can't. I've decided that to help with this crisis, i'm going to make my own peter pan collar, tutorial will follow later ><

Shiny things? Shiny things!

So, one fine day i wake up with an idea. Well no, i lie. I didn't wake up with an idea, i woke up with the intention of making something, and thought: 'Hey, if i'm gonna make so much stuff, maybe i should share it with someone? But how would i do that...' And it brought me to this idea. A blog. I like reading blogs, so why don't i make one?! So i did. I'm gonna put a whole bunch of tutorials, and maybe links to other peoples fancy tutorials and my own versions of peoples fancy things (If they don't mind!). I also might set up an etsy shop in the near future... So look out for that! Don't forget to comment on my things and tell me how i'm doing!
