DIY // Collage Heart Dish

  I have a bad habit of taking my accessories off anywhere, the car, the desk, the bedside table, my purse...you name it. I've been known to lose jewelry quite often. I have this jewelry display I use at home but I decided I needed a "place" for my things at Chris' house. I used to love making collages from magazines and wanted to apply that look to the jewelry dish. At first I was going to go with a few images from my pinterest but with Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought a collage based around love would be fun. 
 Supplies: Heart Ceramic, Glitter, Brush, Scissors, Triple Thick Glaze, Glue, & Images
Start by spreading glue to ceramic, sprinkle with glitter, and shake off.
 While the glitter dries, cut up images into shapes or add writing to personalize.
 Think of the collage layout you want, glue down to dried glitter, and then spread triple thick glaze.
 Let dry and you're done!

**easy alternative to simplify this diy**
Trace heart onto cardstock. Then build your collage onto the cardstock. Glue the cardstock down to the dish and cover with triple thick glaze.

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!!
