DIY: Framed To Do List


Finished Product


Supplies:
- Magazines
- Frame
-White Board Marker


Search through the magazines and find images that would work for a background of your to do list. Stay away from anything too dark, the marker won't show up.


Pick your image and place inside the frame.


Draw your to do's or your grocery list or whatever your heart desires.



 Put up near your desk or somewhere you will see it often, and there you go. A cute way to keep your life organized and keep all those papers with lists off your desk. Super easy and fast, and you can change the background as much as you want! Schools starting to get busier so these fast DIY's are all i can fit into my schedule.

P.S. Super excited that the light in my dorm room is so good for taking pictures!!

DIY: Easy, No Sew Pillow


Finished Pillow


Supplies:
TOMS Bag
Fabric Tape
Iron
Stuffing


Fill the TOMS bag with as much stuffing as you wish.



Measure the amount of tape you will need to close the bag.



Pin the tape in-between the two sides of the bag. ^


Pin it completely closed, with the tape in the middle.


Iron over the edge of the bag, taking the pins out as you go.





So finally figured out what to do with all the TOM's bags i had laying around my house, makes a super cute pillow! It's so easy to make pillows using the fabric tape, takes only a few minutes to pin and iron shut. Awesome for someone who doesn't know how to sew and it also makes your room look super Tumblr! lol

Hope your new year has been great so far, finally back at school so i won't be able to post as much with school work, but I'll do my best.

DIY Twig Candle


Finished Product


Supplies:
- Twigs
- Container
- Scissors
- Hot Glue & Gun
- Spray Paint
- Glitter Spray 
- Paper  Towel to protect surface while spraying


Measure the twig to make sure it is slightly above the glass, I made mine several different sizes, so it gives a more natural look.



Lay out the twigs and spray with the spray paint and the glitter spray. Allow to dry and spray the other side.


Add glue to the twigs.


Firmly place the twigs around the side of the container.


Add a tea light inside and put on display.


 Okay, so i might be slightly obsessed with candles and gold glitter, but really who isn't? Hope everyone had a great holiday with your family and friends. Only have a week left until i go back to school, excited to get back to the city but I have been enjoying my time with family and friends.
Happy New Year!
