chop chop chopsticks



In this post you will find a Home Decor version (chopsticks for eating) aswell as an accessories version (chopsticks for in hair). Enjoy!

Home Decor:
Find some clear wooden chopsticks (usually sold in 3 to 10 pairs) and decorate them with paint, nail polish, glitter glue, washitape or whatever you like! Then all you have to do is let it dry and apply a layer of varnish (so it doesn't get in your food and stays good when washing) an done! You can personalize them for different people at a dinner party, add names, or make them match your tablecloth or bowls etc. So easy,& fun and really satisfying when you see the result in action:)

Accessories:
Find some clear wooden chopsticks (usually sold in 3 to 10 pairs) or even use some old pencils or the tiny sticks used for bbq sticks, and decorate them with paint, nail polish, glitter glue, washitape or whatever you like! Then all you have to do is let it dry and apply a layer of varnish (so you don't get the glitter in your hair and it's smoother to put through the knot) an done! You can make one matching any outfit! And if you have never put them in your hair before..just practice 5 times and i'm sure you got it..it's easy!
1. grab your hair and twist it a bit and then roll it in a tight bun/knot 2. push the stick a bit from above straight towards your skull. 3. feel that you grab some hairs from the root before turning the stick to go back out again. 4. let go..and it should stay!:)

Easiest Summer Bracelets

Image
I want to post some more complicated jewelry as well, but lets start with some fun and really easy bracelets to brighten up the summer even more!:) Needed: elastics (preferable coloured an good looking but even normal elastic or hair elastic will do), charms ( I've mostly used open charms for this example to make a double elastic side but Making a single one is even easier (check anklets) so normal charms work good as well!), caps! soft metal caps to hide knots;) And if you like add beads, use cord with magnetic closing etc. More tutorials coming soon:) Take 1 peace of elastic, pull it through the charm on one side and then on the other side. Now either tie them together at the end, or 1 cm from the charm on both sides leaving a single (more stretchable) elastic in the back. Use the caps  to hide the knots and...Done already! :D on to the next! A good reason to work with elastics is that it fits anyone and it doesn't discolor (like chains or other metals) And (even t

Sweet Dreams Catcher

Image
Easy and super fun to make, with lovely results! <3 Make it in any shape you like and with any material you like just make sure you have so e tiny twinkle lights (i used VISVISS ikea - no they are not paying me to say this..unfortunately;p) and that the shape is big/small enough to at least go around the edges and down three times. For this example i used a placemat i found, but you can also create your own shape with iron cord (see twinkle post  for tips) or make it out of cut outs cardboard or lace! Anyway let's catch some sweet dreams...let's get started:) 1. Lovely shape Create your shape and make sure it can let enough light trough. Then attach the beginning and end of the light string where they need to be. Now you see exactly how much you have left for lighting the shape. Attach it (by bending or with tape or string or iron cord) around the shape and the hanging parts (will become a loop, so try to balance the lights). If you have leftover string, Great!, no

From Showercurtain To Raincoat!:)

Image
It worked! I had this idea, that the fabric of a showercurtain might be perfect for a poncho or a raincoat. So, i got a new one, and tried it out! Now, i have to admit it was a lot harder then i thought (mostly because I've never worked with this kind of fabric and I've actually never made a coat or a hoodie before;). But..It works! I'm going to tell you how i did it and I would love to see what YOU make of it! 1. Close the cutains Lay the showercurtain on the floor and fold the top and bottom to the middle. (a little bit more of the top/bottom if it's not trimmed correctly yet, mine had a good bottom and even buttonholes on top so i could totally use it as it was). Then start pinning or (to make it even easier) start taping paper tape on the places where you think you should cut/sew. Make sure to leave a stroke on top or bottom to make the waist belt later. 2.  Fill in the gaps You can either pin and try on first, or if you feel confidant sew the side and s
