DIY//Floral Belt

Whenever spring comes around I feel like I want to incorporate florals all the time into my wardrobe. I thought this belt would be cute for wearing around during the warmer weather. Maybe even on a floral dress. 

Floral on floral...that would be fun.

 Supplies: Belt, Leather Flower Pieces, Scissors Glue Gun, Thread & Needle

(To make my floral pieces, I used leather from an old skirt I bought at the thrift store. I painted a small piece of the leather white, used a flower stencil and traced 5 pieces)

1. Thread a small cross in the center of your floral piece

2. Continue to thread through until you have a full center

3. Try on the belt and measure where you want the placement of the flowers to be, I stuck pins in the belt so that I would know the range of where I wanted mine to be.

4. Glue your floral pieces starting from the center out

5. Ready to Wear

DIY//Statement Headband

Hey, I'm back with another hair accessory.  I wanted to make something really spring-y and fun for the Easter holiday. Oh and I especially love that it's such a statement piece...plus this mix of colors just makes me happy. This project was really easy, you just have to be patient between each coat of polish. Much like the enamel bobby pins, the possibilities of color combinations are just endless. My heart is already racing just thinking of a pretty one in mint! 

 Supplies

Rhinestones, Headband, Nail Polish, & Glue Gun

1. Paint each rhinestone with color of choice.

 2. Let dry completely if wanting to add another coat

3. Start by adding glue to the center of the headband and attach rhinestone.

4. Repeat until you have your desired pattern

(add a thin strip of felt or cut into circles and add to back of 

rhinestone for extra support and a cleaner look)

vvv ready to wear vvv

I tried this on when I only had the pink and orange added to the headband and really liked it with just the two colors but decided to add the yellow in the end. So if you don't want to add as many rhinestones as I did, don't worry, it will still look great. Just have fun with it.

DIY Rhinestone Sparkle Headband

I wanted to share a cute and easy diy for spring now that it's finally around the corner. This involves two of my favorites; a pop of color and something sparkly. I originally wanted to try this headband with a neon green thread but ended up going with a bright orange. I love the way it turned out. 

Supplies:

Headband, rhinestones, embroidery thread, glue gun

1. Glue strand of rhinestones to headband

2. Secure thread to headband with a dab of glue and string thread around the rhinestones.

3. Once you get to the other end, apply another dab of glue to secure the thread.

4. Ready to wear!
