Pop of Neon...and Leopard

                      

 Remember how in another post I talked about a pop of neon?  Well this is my kind of a pop of neon!  I just like to add a tiny bit of neon and here it is in my belt! Can you believe it was only $1.50 from Forever 21?

While we are talking about pops of color, what about my pop of leopard on my feet. These are my favorite shoes right now!

This is me on my way to the bus stop.

My belt is too big so I just kinda wrapped it a bit to fit!

I love these shoes!

Roller Skate Rescue......

         My awesome mum got me a cool pair of roller skates at the thrift store.  The only problem was they were a little boring.  So I decided to make them look way better by adding some simple things!!!!

Here is what you need.
Roller skates
Glitter
Hot glue gun
Neon paint ( love Decoart Americana neon paint in Sizzling Pink)
Blue painters tape
Felt
Paint brushes

This is the before...Kinda boring right?

Use blue painters tape to mark the areas you want to paint.

I used Decoart Americana paint in Sizzling Pink.

Dab the paint on the area and let it dry

I don't love the writing and wanted to cover it up.

Trace a heart onto felt

Draw a heart inside the heart

Cut it out

I use tacky glue

Paint the glue in the little heart

Add any colored glitter, I liked the pink!

This is how it should look

Hot glue the heart over the words

How cute are these!!

Photo by Kristen Gardner Photography

Here is what you need

Sewing machine

Scissors

Disappearing ink marker

Scraps of fun fabric

Stiff interfacing

24 inches of ribbon

bottle cap or something else circular to trace. I used a medicine bottle cap (ask mom first)

Step 1

Trace 20 circles onto all different cotton fabrics. I cut 2 circles of each fabric.

Step 2

Trace 10 circles on a piece of stiff interfacing

Step 3

Cut everything out

Step 4

Place one piece of interfacing between 2 pieces of fabric, kind of like a sandwich.

Step 5

Sew 6 lines on the circle in a snowflake type pattern. It doesn’t have to be super neat so don’t worry.

Step 6

It should look like this

Step 7

Trim around each sewn circle so it looks nice and neat

Step 8

When you have sewn them all, lay them out how you want them to look

Step 9

Sew the circles in a row, as you sew across one, quickly put the next one under the machine and keep sewing. Go back and forth a couple of times so it is really secure.

Step 10

Do this with the other rows . Its really easy!

Step 11

It should look like this

Step 12

Cut your ribbon into two 12 inch pieces. Sew each one onto the back of the two top circles

Step 13

Cut all the annoying threads

All done!!!

Polka dot shoe DIY

I see Polka dots everywhere I go. It seems that every store I go into has loads of Polka dots for Spring.

I have always wanted a pair of  Polka dot ballet flats so here is a wonderful and inexpensive way to add them to your boring pair of shoes!

You need a water soluble white pencil and a white fabric paint pen

and a cheap pair of ballet flats. Mine were $10.

Use the chalk pencil to mark the circles

Carefully color in the circles with the paint pen.

Oh my gosh, Don't you just love them!!
