[DIY Makeup Palette]

If you're a makeup junkie like me...you prob have lil samples of eyeshadows everywhere. Don't you hate it when you can't organize yourself or forget about colors you had and then buy more? I actually got this idea from very creative girls on YouTube.

The tricky part is removing the eyeshadow (in metal container) from its original case. It's kinna hard to explain..I suggest you YouTube it lol. It involves a hair straightener and something pointy to poke with.

Once that's done, all you need is glue, empty DVD case, cute paper or anything you want to cover it with, and your shadows.

I arranged it this way...but there are plenty of options. If you haven't figured it out already.....YouTube is the shit!

I'm such an ass..I know

Hey there everyone...I apologize for the looooonnggg delay. It's been kinna hectic...but anyway I promise to update soon enough. I've actually did a bunch of interesting projects but my camera is being an ass. -_- Def updating soon!

"Cereal Box-Purse Storage"....Wait? what???

If you're a huge shopper with little closest/storage space...I feel your pain. Buying storage boxes can get a bit pricey too. However! If you're in search of a quick storage tip, look no further than your kitchen garbage! Yeah that's right...who would of thought Cereal Boxes can actually organize purses?? They may not be the most chic/stylish way of organizing purses..but hey there's an economy crisis here people! lol

[materials]:

1 - (Doubled Bagged) Cereal Boxes. The single bagged boxes just can't cut it.

2- Three inch Scotch Tape

3- Sisccors

[steps]:

1- Cut off the top flaps of the cereal boxes. Luckily my family goes through cereal like water...so there are always boxes laying around.

2- I created my cubiles into fours. So tape every side where the boxes touch to make them hold better.

3- Stuff them in your closet and organize purses.

Easy!

[side note]: Of course you may paint them or decorate them any way you want. But I just wanted to show you all a quick storage tip. Poor bags where all shoved in there....but I had so many!

Need a shoe uplift?

I get bored of wearing the same shoes all the time...and i can't afford new ones so...RE-DESIGN EM! Can't go wrong with jewels and glue =-)

Before:

After:

[materials]:

(1) Gem-Tac Glue

(2) Old Heels --> I got mine from Strawberries for $25

(3) An old beaded necklace.

Or if you want to buy gems from an Arts & Crafts store, it's fine too.

Steps:

GLUE beads everywhere and anywhere!

I did the same thing with pearls on this heel below.

Don't you just love dramatic shoes?

~ NEXT SHOE design....SPIKES!~

Flower -Pearl Necklace Bib

Hi Ladies!..I've become obsessed with Bib Necklaces lately. I did the one below out of sheer boredom ;-)

[materials]:

- Plastic bouquet of flowers

-Gem-Tac Glue

-Bag of Pearls

-Black Fabric

-Sisscors

-Metal Necklace Chain

[how to steps]:

1. Pick your flower victim...(see below). [I got mine from AC Moore for $1.99. I liked the different values in the bronze color.] Any kind of plastic flower will do.
2. Start picking that poor flower apart! Pull those individual petals out of the stem carefully. My bouquet of flowers specifically had each individual flower held toegther into 4 petals (easier to glue).

3. Cut a black piece of fabric into the shape/size you would like. Mine is sort of a fat "U" shape.
4. GLue all the petals/flowers onto your fabric. You can be as neat / messy as you want.
5. Once dry (I gave it 30 mins), glue the little pearls in the center of each flower.
6. Let it dry overnight, glue the metal necklace chain on the top back of the fabric (gem tac glue is amazing! I use it on everything / anything).
7. Let it dry completely.

Yay! Enjoy & wear =-)
