DIY: Hair Bows

Hello all!  Here is another fun and easy DIY for you.  Cute hair bows that anybody can make. You can make little bows or big bows.  I got the steps from www.domesticfashionista.com.  Usually if I do things a little different I would take pictures, but since I did everything exactly like how she did it, I decided to just show her steps.  Let me know if you have any questions and have fun with it =)  This floral fabric was from a skirt that I alter and I saved the extra fabric.  So, you could just take a old t-shirt that you don't want and use it.  Comment me below if you do try the DIY, so I can see how your bows turn out.  Have a great day!

Supplies:

-Fabric

-Needle

-Thread

-Some type of hair clip {or you can always bobby pin it into your hair}

-Hot glue

1. Cut rectangular piece of fabric.  The bigger the piece, the larger the bow.  

2. Hold over the top and bottom.

3. Fold again to tuck in non-sewn edge.

4 and 5. Fold over right and left side of fabric so they slightly overlap in the middle.

6 and 7. Hand stitch the two sides up the center.

8. Pull the thread so that the bow gets cinched in the center and wrap remaining thread around center and tie.

9. Cut a small piece of fabric for the bow's center.

10. Fold over the top and bottom so they overlap and hide frayed edge.

11. Wrap around bow.

12. Hot glue to bow.

13. Hot glue hair clip to back.

Walk-In Closet

I'm planning to turn the smallest bedroom in my new house into my own walk in closet.  All day today I have been looking at pictures to inspire me.  Here are a few that I LOVE!  I definitly want to have floral wallpaper on one side of the wall and paint the rest.  I want my room to be colorful and inspring.  How cute is the idea of using a cupcake tray as a jewelery holder?  :)  Also, I love the idea of buying old furniture and fixing it up. 

So, yesterday I went to Goodwill and I found the perfect dresser to fix up.  It was only $9.99 and it already has floral knobs.  I practically scream with joy in the store.  LOL.  I'm not sure what color I'm going to paint it yet.  Maybe, mint green??? What color do you think I should paint it?   The thing that sucks is that since I still live in an apartment I won't be able to paint it until I move, and that won't be until June.  :(  But bare with me, I promise to show you after pictures when I'm done. 

I've been tagged!

It's been awhile but I promise I will get better at blogging.  Who knew that buying a house would be so hetic!  I've gone through so many emotions with this house buying process.  I just can't wait for it to be over.  Anyways, a while back I was tagged by Jo from the http://www.thelittledandy.com/.  I'm so sorry for the late response but here you go.  I want to nominate every one of my followers to do this tagged and then comment me below.  I would love to read your answers!  :)

 

 

1. When did you start blogging and why?

I started blogging in February of 2012.  I have always love reading other people's blog, but never thought of starting my own until a few close friends convinced me to start.  I just wanted to share my fashion style with everyone.

 

2. What would you say is the  most covered topic on your blog?

Hrmm, definitily thrifting.  It's a big part of my style. 

 

3. Do you prefer lace or studs?

Studs!  Lace sometimes can be too itchy.

 

4. What is your favourite meal of the day?

Lunch.  I'm usually too busy for breakfast and I have night classes so my dinner is pretty plain. I always make sure to eat good for lunch :)

 

5. Single or taken?  Here you can gush to all of us about your current significant other! =)

No comment :)  I like to keep my personal life to myself.

 

6. Do you prefer pants and a shirt, or a sweet dress?

I prefer pants and a shirt.  I just like to be comfortable.

 

7. Are you a coffee or tea type of girl?

Neither.  The only thing I drink is water.

 

8. What state/province (and country) are you from, and what is your state/province best known for?  (You do not need to specify city!)

I am from the Midwest of the USA.   I guess we are well known for snow.

 

9. Can you justify spending over $1000 on a bag.  Explain.

NO WAY!!!!  I rather go thrifting with that money!

 

10. How do you like your hair?  Long/short?  Bangs/no bangs? Dyed/natural?  Straight/curly?

I have always have bangs and now that they are long, I feel that it looks weird on me.  But I want a change so I'm going to try my hardest not to cut them.  I also like my hair long. 

 

11. If you could meet anyone in the world for a lunch date (and I mean ANYONE, dead or alive, famous or a hobo..) who would it be and why?

Wow, I have so many people I would want to choose for a lunch date.  haha, hrmm I guess if I really had to only choose only one it would be Dwyane Wade.  Especially since the NBA playoffs are starting.  LOL.  I love watching basketball and I'm a big Dwyane Wade fan.  Growing up I was a big tomboy, so yeah I'm pretty much a sports fanatic. 

 

Hope this help my followers learn a little about me :)  Let me know if you have any other questions and tomorrow I will be posting more fashion related things.
