Pretty Pink Bows and Crimson Apples...


I've finally done a new DIY project!!! I got the idea...here. Instead of doing the double bow I did a single bow(I guess that's what you call it). I had a little bit of clay left from one bow so I made a "delicious" crimson   apple ;).

Two Loose Screws...

You might say I have a few screws loose, but I have finally thought of  a DIY project that I think is worth sharing and it's SUPER easy too! Screw earings! I mean...uhrr...earings made out of screws...:) 
What you'll need:
2 of  these funky little sharpish metal  thingys...aka: SCREWS

2 twisted wire needles
1 pair of (in my case,  RUSTY) beading pliers
 


A pair of earring hooks (that means 2 of this little baby)
And lastly:
Nailpolish!

Do This:
Slightly bend the wire around the screw.

Now bend it with the pliers. 
See if it fits snugly around the screw...
and if it does, start twisting it toward the sharp point. 
Now bend the loop upward so that it's straight (trust me, you do not want a skew earring!)




They should look like this...remeber to turn them into earings by adding earring hooks! To find out how to do that, click here.

Drumroll please...

VOILA!

You can leave yours unpainted or give them a pop of color with your favourite polish. Let them dry and then...
HAPPY WEARING!
P.S.: The coiling (twisting the wire needles around) takes practice to perfect, so don't get down in the dumps if you "screw up";)

----The End----

My first project: dip-dyed tee.

I've wanted to dip-dye a t-shirt for so long and now I've finally done it! I followed the instructions on Wit & Whistle. Click here to see them. So if you want spice up a boring tee, dip-dying is a great way to do that! Here is a pic of my tee...

Love DIY

Hi there!
I love creating things. Instead of buying things, I sometimes make them myself or customize store-bought items. Sometimes they even turn out better than products from the shops. From t-shirts to smoothies to jewellery and loads of other stuff, I have done a lot of DIY projects, and I have decided to start sharing my  projects with you. So hopefully you will be inspired by my blogging and create along with me!
Au revoir!
