  No, don't worry, I'm not flipping you off at all! I'm showing my 1nici finger! Use washitape, nail polish, paper tape, paint, glitter, tiny rings and whatever you can think of, and make your 1nicifinger (ring finger) unique ! Match custom decorated nails with custom decorated rings and upload your best picture on instagram #1nicifinger  Join the fun! How to make? However you want! I have mostly done this: Paint the nail in a colour, cut out peaces of washitape and put on the nail. Then add a layer of clear nail polish! After that i would use the same tape/style to match some jewelry items (rings, but also bracelets, earrings and necklaces). You could paint over the tape or use nail polish only or even make some of your own drawings on paper tape etc. Just be creative and enjoy the process:) I'm sure you can do better then me!!!! So show it off;) Extra tips: if the washi tape or paper tape does not stick good enough to the finger or jewelry, stick some doub...

6 Squares - 6 easy DIY Tops!

Image
We are going to make not 1 but 6 tops (or as many as you want of course;)! Don't be afraid to pick your best/prettiest leftover, handkerchief or tea towel, the tops are easy to make!:) Needed: Squares! A fabric that can be made into a square...use a tea towel and fold it in a square to get the basic size. Cords and/or elastic (check what you need for the version you want to make). Extra: maybe some rushing or lace or other trimming material, elastic, trimming will go much faster with a sewing machine but if trimming is already done (handkerchief) it's doable by hand, basically add whatever you have or want to finish of the look:) 1.  2. 3. 4. .5   6. WARNING: It's very addictive! Because it's so easy and looks so good and every style and fabric make it a whole new look. Make them all and more if you want ;) ,but i can suggest to start with nr.1, just to get the hang of it.  Just choose a version and follow the instructions...and Enjoy...

Rounded comfy pillow

Image
It's actually quite easy and the result looks like I've paid at least a hundred bucks for it, but i used leftover fabric and some cord, and only spent a little bit of money on the filling:) I've made a really big version to cover the whole length of the couch and width of the bed. It's super comfy and can even be used as pregnancy pillow or humanpillow. But you can start with just a cute tiny neck pillow and go from there;) 1. strange pinning Make sure the stroke of fabric you have is wide enough to trim the edges and go around the circle. You decide the size and circle. Use a cooky-box, plate or big vase to draw the circle on double folded fabric and cut it out. To decide the width needed for the stoke you take a cord or peace of thread and lay it around the circle. Then lay that straight next to the fabric and cut a bit extra for trimming. Now fold the stroke inside out and sew the ends together (all the way on one side and stop a bit before the ot...

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...

Jeans to raggedy shorts

Image
This is a "refashion/upcycle" project so we start with some normal length jeans or a boring jeans shorts. We are going to trash them to be able to save them... Make sure it still fits;) or try to make it a bit bigger first by taking away the thread in the sides and putting it back together using less fabric to fold inwards. Needed: some sandpaper (tiny peace is enough!) and/or cheese scraper and whatever else you might want to add (lace, iron on emblems, or pocket applications etc) Ok, Ready to say goodbye to the boring old jeans and get ready for a delicious summer? 1. The unraveling/revealing Cut the jeans at your preferred length (tiny bit longer for unravelling) and start to use your fingers and some tiny scissors to make the bottom unravel and look raggedy. If its going to much or you're scared it might get too much then stitch shortly above. 2. Demolishion time Now take the sandpaper and start making movements (check what works best sideways or ...
