DIY storage pots from Body Shop tubs

Just a quick inspiration post! These little cuties are recycled mini Body Shop body butter tubs (wow, alot of adjectives there). I just cleaned them out with hot soapy water and used gems and all purpose adhesive to stick them on. These are the perfect size for holding my gems, buttons, mini sewing kit and god knows what else.

Love these little storage options for Uni!

Have fun xx

DIY Colour Block Necklace

 It's August and I'm prepping for my summer holiday which means bright warm colours and big ass beads! These beads were upcycled from an old necklace I really hated, it was too long and the beads tortured my hair by pulling out chunks at the back, not cool. This new design is so much better, I love wearing leather/pleather as it sits on the skin so much nicer than metal! All you need for this little number is:

• Wooden beads
• Leather string
• 1 Clasp
• 1 Finding
• 2 End caps

First of all, clamp the end cap on one end of the leather. Make sure it's secure and that the string can't rotate.

Then lay out the beads in the pattern you want, then slide them onto the string.

Once you've done that fix on the final end cap then secure the finding to the end cap and clasp.

Voila! This is going to look ace with a bright lipstick and some wedges or even just a colour block bikini. Have a great summer and have fun! xx

Keyring Earrings!

Times are getting hard, money's getting tight and the last thing I'm spending my money on is jewellery. But who needs to when these beauties were practically free and so much FUN! These key rings were given away whenever my mum bought a rum and coke on holiday. Shame she didn't drink much or I could have made a matching necklace, but let's put them to good use!

 All you need are earring hooks, findings, pliers and two fun (or boring?) keyrings. If you don't want to buy the fiddly bits you could always disassemble an existing pair that you've grown to loathe. stretch the finding out and slip the hook and keyring together then close it back up.

That was so easy, it was almost weird right? So get the tools out and get cracking! I want to see plastic aliens, tassels and plenty of kinder-egg-esque  designs hanging from those lobes. In the meantime I'll be hitting the disco like a mad thing, so have fun! xx
