So I'm obsessed with doing basic lanyard stitches and turning them into jewelry... Yes I know... I'm 25... I've made them using gimp and micro suede cord... I plan to get some bright colors soon because summer is coming and they will look soo awesome stacked... -------------------------------------------- So Sunday was Easter Sunday/ Resurrection Sunday.. Here is my hair and makeup...totally planned on talking pics of my whole outfit... but by the time I got home I didn't feel like it... The eyes were just simple gold on the lid and brown and black in the crease... I think the gold color is actually Urban Decay's Baked... I used Red Cherry #213 lashes...very natural for church... And I primed my eyes with Jesse's Girl Eyeshadow Primer (love this stuff...) and NYX Eyeshadow Base in White... (also love...) ______________________ Super old look that somehow never got posted... I don't know why I did this... Meh, cute green look.... -------------

Playing....

Here's hers... Here's mine... Not as red....cause I don't have a good deep reddish pink like that... actually I do... but I forgot I did until I was done... LOL! I didn't really feel like covering the lash band... these are from EEyelash ... #747M LOVE THEM! I used... Hot Pink - CS - Creative Me #1 palette-Lid & Crease Reddish Orange -CS- Creative Me #1-Crease Jesse's Girl Hot Pink Glitter Sample- Inner Corner Jesse's Girl- Rouge Flambe-Lid  LA Splash- Hula Hula- Lower Lashline

So summer is coming... which makes  me think of the beach and cool things, awesome clothes and shoes, and wonderful bright, crazy jewelry... So over the last couple of day I've been making bangle out of "gimp" or Plastic Lace... I've even revamped old bangles that I didn't wear anymore into fresh new bangles for the summer... here are pics... bangles before... just plain plastic bangles... I also made a simple circle knot bracelet.... to show texture and detail... all the bangle I made.... Square Knot Bracelet, Cobra Knot Bracelet, Cobra Knot Bangle, Chinese Stairwell Bangle, & Circle Knot Bracelet... add a cute clasp....

I've been doing a couple of DIY projects like making bracelets out of Plastic Lace or "gimp" as I know it... And I'm going to make a conscious effort to do more looks, hauls and tuts... Also I'm coming up on 400 subbies on YT and nearly 200 on here... so I may be having a giveaway soon... just got to find some things to give away...

So, twitter is funny.... cause in a way i makes you like people you've never meant cause they're funny and intellectual.... But it also makes you have ppl, you already know... cause you start to really see people for who/what they are... Hmmph...

So... whilst browsing my blogs I saw that Sugar Rock Cat Walk made and awesome bracelet out of rope and Hex Nuts.... The original (pictured above) is by Giles & Brother ... they have awesome jewelry btw... She got the idea from Honestly...WTF , an awesome blog for Fashion Frills and D.I.Y's.... So I went over to wal-mart, grabbed some micro suede cord, and some hex nuts and tried my hand... It is easy to do... even tho it is a little hard to get the full idea of it... at first ... For full instructions----->  Honestly...WTF ... Here's mine... I added a little circle clasp at the end... I'm still deciding if I like it... and some feather charms for a little flair... for detail I hope you guys try this DIY... I love it...
