DIY | Cheap Heart Shaped Ring Light

art 8:34:00 PM

Heya guys! What a great Saturday it is!

I recently made a video on this cute and unique DIY Ring Light with just an LED strip light from CD-R King. The rest of my materials are accumulated at home and basically from my dad's tool box. Well, it's actually pretty easy, I bet you all can do it with your eyes closed. Just kidding!

Anyway, if you're just like me who doesn't want to spend that much for a ring light then this video tutorial is for you. Imagine I only spent more or less Php 880 pesos for this project compared to the Php 7,000- Php 8,000 ring lights sold by Glad King. I could literally make 7 led lights
with that money don't you think?

Okay, enough with the blabbering. Watch the video tutorial below and let me know what you think.

RAINBOW LOOM CRAZE

crafts 9:33:00 PM

My Rainbow Loom Kit is here! Was really excited when I got my hands on these last week since I missed doing DIYs here. It's been a long time since I posted a tutorial so I thought this would be my chance to share something new. I will soon update you with some of my Rainbow Loom tutorials here. Are you excited? Me too!

You might be wondering where I bought my kit as well as my super colorful loom bands here in the Philippines. You can get them from @loomsncharms. Actually, you can get the original Rainbow Loom Kit at Toy Kingdom or Toys R Us which retails for Php 800.00+ for a set of 1 Loom board, 1 Looming hook, C clips and 600 pcs assorted colorful loom bands. You may also check the difference between the original Rainbow Loom vs fake in this article.

For beginners like me, I settled for the cheaper kit first for basic Rainbow Loom Accessories since I wanted to get more loom bands as well. Loomsncharms sells I think the cheapest loom band packs on Instagram. For 200 pcs per pack, it costs Php 50.00 only and for 600 pcs of loom bands they retail from Php 135.00-Php 190.00. They have different varieties like Silicones and Thermo Plastic bands and they're Latex free! So it's safe. They're also available in Glitters, Neons, Glow in the dark, Basic colors, Tie-dyes etc. I bought a total of 11 packs from them and they are very kind to have given me a freebie!

What i've just noticed while I was doing an owl charm yesterday, it would not be easy to make complicated projects with a plastic looming hook since it would break easily. It's better if you get a Rainbow Loom Metal hook like this

or if you're in a budget, you can buy a crochet hook as an alternative.

So there, get your loom kits ready and let's join the craze!!

Things you'll need :

1. Apple charger

2. Gradient metallic studs sheet (Plastic type) - Charm's Corner

4. Loctite / Mighty Bond

FIRST : Measure the size of your charger, by this you'll know what length to cut on your stud sheet.
After doing so, cut it one by one.

SECOND : Stick the studs with Loctite/Mighty Bond and cut the excess. But, make sure you

follow the right pattern shown on the picture.

THIRD : Continue until the end. And you're done! There's a lot of things you can do with studs sheets, projects like blinging your iPhone cases or your compact mirror! Hmm.. I'm thinking more of these kind of projects to be shared soon! I'm excited! Are you?

DIY : FLOWER WREATH

accessories 2:09:00 AM

Hello guys! Here's the flower wreath tutorial I promised you which I wore here. I know everyone's been raving about flower wreaths/halo. It has become the sweetest trend nowadays, agree? I love this so much that I bought new sets of plastic flowers again. Anyways let's get this started, these are the materials you'll need : PLASTIC FLOWERS, PLIERS, HEADBANDS, CLEAR GLUE STICK, GLUE GUN.

Where to buy :

Plastic flowers - I bought these lovely flowers in Divisoria, they're much cheaper outside malls. But, more designs are available inside 168 mall. Prices ranging from Php 50-200.

Pliers - I bet almost everyone has one at home.

Headbands - I bought these plain headbands at Wellmanson, Quiapo. It's a haven for DIYs, and craft materials. It has been my favorite spot ever since I started my business.

Glue stick and Glue gun - National Bookstore.

FIRST : Cut the stems one by one, you may include the leaves if you prefer.

SECOND : It should look like these once done cutting. But then, you wouldn't need the remaining stems since you need to cut until the end of the flower bud.

THIRD : Start sticking the flowers one by one but leave a space for your ears and under it.

AND YOU"RE DONE!! TADAAAA!!

Charmscorner 3:31:00 AM

Hello everyone! Here's a quick DIY tutorial for you! Flaunt your nice bikini with style with an added twist by adding studs! All the girls would definitely go gaga over your nice tube bandeau when you hit the beach. Wanna know how? I'll show you ..

First, prepare your studs, I got it from my favorite STUDS AND SPIKES shop in the Philippines Charms Corner , go and visit their shop and get your studs at affordable prices! They have a nice variety of designs and colors to choose from. But, for my bikini, I chose this nice cone shaped stud.

Second, imagine where you want to place your studs. I wanted to have an outline on top until the center to make it fixed since its style is twisted. Such a good idea! lol

Third, here's the fun part! Studding! Go all the way to the center and continue until the other end.

Tadaaa!!!

My lame neon bandeau swimwear turned out into something more interesting.

I hope you guys like this tutorial.

OUT IN THE WOODS WITH MS. FOX

DIY 9:35:00 PM

Animal faces are getting a big hit in fashion nowadays, mostly about CATS. I've seen almost all fashion bloggers on Lookbook who've worn cat ears, cat stockings, cat sweaters etc. It was all about cats, and yes, it's really cute. But me, unfortunately, doesn't have any of those yet, all I have is this fox faced button-down top. I got it from Threewishesshop, and I thought it would look more cuter with my new DIY project, the floral headband I'm wearing. I haven't posted the tutorial yet so be sure to check my blog from time to time.

I thought I needed a basket because I look like I'm having a picnic with Ms. Fox. teehee! So yeah, I took a break from the edgy-all-black me, and I failed, my skirt is black and the shoes as well. I'm sorry it's still cute right? My shoes from MARTOFCHINA is my favorite shoes nao, it's really comfy and lightweight. Please do check their shop, they have lots of cool and affordable items in store. Anyways, I hope you guys like this new look! Comment down below what you think :)

And don't forget to HYPE my look here!

DIY : PAPER WALLET

craft 10:01:00 PM

Hi guys! Today, I'm going to teach you how to make a paper wallet! Very simple and easy to make so get your materials ready for this is fun! But first let me just show you this awesome book that I bought from the World Trade Christmas Bazaar last December. I got this for P200.00, lucky me! This is actually used for covering books but the designs are too lovely to waste! We will be using this book for this project. Don't worry you can also use other printed papers too but it is best to use this because it's water proof.

Prepare the ff. materials (Scissors, Fabric tape or Washi Tapes, Pen and Water proof paper or any colored/printed paper).

ONE : Choose desired paper design. I chose this vintage looking script paper.

TWO : Cut the paper in half (this is only if you have the same book cover as mine because it is folded in half so the actual size is double). In case you don't have this, 8x11 papers will do.

THREE : Fold it in half then fold each sides going to the center.

FOUR : Open it again and draw lines on the sides. As you can see I also drew a diamond shape on the third rectangle. Use a ruler or a business card for this to make the lines straight.

FIVE : Now, cut and fold the sides just like the image above. The third part with the diamond shape is where your cards will be stored.

SIX : Poke a hole on your diamond outline and start cutting from the inside.

Now you should have something like this!

Next...

SEVEN : Fold it back again like the third step.

EIGHT : Fold it again in half. CUT the white unfolded part.

NINE : Get your fabric tape and measure the sides where you'll be sticking it. Cut it and stick the half outside and the other half inside to secure the sides of your wallet.

TEN : And you're done!!! Simple and easy!! I told ya!

TIP : you can also stick some fabric tapes on the inside of your card holders to make it more cute!

TADAH!!!

What I like about this paper wallet is that they're slim, customizable and unique. You can also use it as a secret storage which you can insert on your book or planners. It's such a great disguise for thieves!BWAHAHAHA! Great idea *insert light bulb here*

Yay! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial, let me know if you worked on this project too!
