Flower Bobby Pins

Happy Thursday All! I hope your week is going well! This week my project is super quick and simple, which is a huge bonus because we are crazy busy!

So, I'm growing out my bangs. Since my hair is curly I used to have to straighten them every day or they looked weird. Well, that's way too high maintenance for me, so I'm growing them out to avoid  dealing with them. Here's the problem with that, they aren't long enough yet and they're in my face all the time, which it super annoying. I've been pinning them back, but I wanted to add a little something so that my go-to hair style [not sure it classifies as an actual style] is not so boring.

Enter, the fabric flower. Seriously, I feel like you can class up just about anything with a fabric flower.

So, here's what I gathered:

1. Glue gun
2. Fabric scraps
3. Scissors
4. Bobby pins with round bezels from Hobby Lobby (I think I got a pack of them for $2)

Follow this or any of the other gazillion fabric flower tutorials on the web to end up with this:

Then put a generous glob of hot glue on the back center of the flower and press into the bezel, and you get this:

See, told you it was quick and simple...and cheap! Two dollars and ten minutes later, I had two new hair accessories. My kind of project.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this short-and-sweet post.

Have a lovely week!

Easy DIY French Manicure/Pedicure

Hello All! Let me preface this post by saying that this is the one and only beauty tip I will ever give you all, because it's the only one I have. Let me also say that through this post I realized that I do not have a future career in hand or foot modeling. So, sorry about these pictures.

Anyway, I love the way a french manicure looks, but I hate paying to get my nails done. Problem is, I don't really have a steady hand to paint only the tips of my nails. So, here's how I do it at home.

Things to gather:

 

White nail polish, clear top coat, nail polish remover, and q-tips.

Start by painting the top half of your nails with the white nail polish, like so:

Next, dip the q-tip in nail polish and rub off the nail polish until you've got the white tip that you want.

After you've done that, just paint a clear coat on the top and you're done!

Again, sorry about the terrible pictures, and sorry if this is super simple, but it works!

Have a good one!
