WHAT'VE I BEEN UP TO

I'm a big fan of necklace stacking so I searched for cute pendents and beads in my old things and made a bunch of necklaces! Firmly advice you to do the same! It's great to turn those old neclaces that aren't worn in ages into something new and fresh.
Use different strings and chains for a more interesting look.



Another thing I made (just finnished today!) is a pet tipi. What is a pet tipi you ask? Here, let Ari from Boat People Vintage tell you guys!



Please do visit this AMAZING channel or their blog. It has the best DIY tutorials ever and they have amazing good taste.
So here is the result of my Pet Tipi.


Happy really enjoyed sleeping in her new tent.

I had a little help from Happy in the process.

I'M BACK

No excuses.
No apologies.
No explanations.

Just a comeback.

We♥k

This week the weather was pretty dull for summer so I didn't went to the beach once. I tried to ocupied my time with DIYs and I come up with some pretty nice ideas. My favourite was this painting that I hang on my bedroom wall, that is a representation of books I've read that I will never forget :)


I started by drawing with a pencil, and then I used watercolors and black fine-tipped pen.


I remember I had this lights stored somewhere from when I was younger. Now, they hang from my mirror and make it look much prettier!



As my room takes shape, I love it more and more. This is a detail of my nightstand that includes my lamp's foot, two candles, a plate where i keep some lost jewelry and some books.



My mom bought this to me when she was in London last month and finally this week it found a place to stay in my workshop :) I think it's so lovely! Thank you Mom!



Another thing my Mom brought from London was this lampshade that comes with 30 elements that you link (like a puzzle) to create different forms. I did the classic round one for now but you can always change it. You can buy one here.

Studs all around

I love to mix all kinds of bracelets and one of my favourite type of bracelets are the studed ones, I think they look badass. So today I tough I would show you guys how to make one. It's really simple, you just have to be a bit perfectionist if you want it to look good.

So this is what you'll need:

2 simple silver bracelets; silver studs (17); pliers.


 Let's start:
Tighten the stud around one of the bracelets; make sure to press it with the pliers.


Then, attach the other bracelet to the stud.


Keep adding studs, repeating the same process.


This is how it should look.


Add studs all around the bracelets and you're done!

Belt Organizer


As I've already told you guys, I'll be posting a lot of Home Decor DIYs for a while. The one I bring you today it's a belt organizer wich, I think, it's very helpfull.
You will need a long board. The one I used was 50cm (19,5') long. A wire hanger that you can cut. Hooks, as many as you want (I used 10). And finaly some ribbon for decorating. When it comes to tools you should have a ruler, pencil, glue, cutting pliers, and a bradawl.

How to:


*Mark where you want your hooks to be. Mine was 2,5cm at each end and then 5cm between each hook. Find the middle of the board where you will put the top part of the hanger.


* Cut your wire hanger as seen in the picture and, where you've marked the middle, make a hole using the bradawl and glue the top part of the hanger.


*While it dries, start attaching the hooks to your board using the help of the bradawl.


 *Now you can decorate it as you like! I used two types of ribbons and I only glue it  on the back because this glue leaves quite a mark on the fabric.


 *Once you've finished you can place a hook on your closet door (or any place you like) so you can hang your belt organizer.


*And here it is! Hope you guys try it, it's easy and very usefull :)
