DIY//Ryan Gosling Ornament

 Today at work my job is having a Christmas tree lighting and they asked us to bring a special ornament. I always like to have a little fun with the holiday festivities at work so I thought this diy ornament would be a hit. I mean, come on, what's more Christmas than Ryan Gosling wrapped up in lights?? This diy would apply to any photo you have of you and your loved one or your pet...just have fun with it.
 Supplies: Scissors, brush, glitter, mod podge, ornament, photo (mine is just printed from the computer) via here
 Cut off corners to round out and fit to ornament
 Apply mod podge to detailed areas you want glittered.
 Sprinkle with glitter.
 Shake off excess glitter, let dry, and apply with mod podge all over.
 Once dried, apply more mod podge to edges and glitter. 
 Let dry and then apply mod podge again to seal everything in.
All done. Hang from tree!
Happy Holidays :)

DIY//Drawstring Bag

Lately my life has been spent working and then heading to the gym straight after. Preparing the night before by packing up all my workout clothes has really helped me stay on track that way in the morning I'm ready to go. I have tons of tote bags to throw my things in but non that are fun enough to really show off. I'm loving this ombre shimmer one I made, it's perfect to put all my gym clothes in or for a day at the beach. 
Supplies: Drawstring bag, Scissors, Fabric Glue, Ribbon Trim
1. Cut pieces of ribbon and measure spacing between each piece.
2. Apply fabric glue and stick in place.
3. Cut off excess trim to length of bag.
4. Ready to use...fill up with all of your favorite things!!

DIY//Stud Bobby Pins

With the spike heels I bought recently and the rock concerts I've been going to lately, I've been having that rocker girl mentality. I pulled out my studded cutoffs over the weekend and they reminded me how much fun I was having studding everything last year. I knew another diy involving studs was next up on my list. These are super easy to make...(which is always favorite in my book) and they make a big statement especially if you double up and wear both at the same time.
Supplies: Bobby Pins, Glue Gun, Felt, Studs
oh and just a tip...I'm always getting asked where I buy my studs. I actually go to the thrift store and buy a studded belt. I end up paying about $2 for the belt and get a ton of studs.
  1. Glue felt to bobby pin, my felt is the length of one stud and the width of three studs
2. Glue Studs onto felt
3. Ready to wear!
