DIY:: Lace Chandelier


For my new room in Oregon my overhead light is naked and needed a skirt of sorts! Also known as a home-made lace chandelier!

Supplies:
  • Lace trim- about 2 yards
  • Needlepoint hoops
  • Hot Glue
  • String & Scissors 

Measure the lace around each needlepoint hoop hot glueing as you go! Attaching hoops can be a little tricky, but what I did was cut exactly the same length string and attach it at the same spot on the inside! As you can see below use hot glue in four locations in a "x" shape connecting the hoops to each other.


Hopefully if all the strings are the same length and placed in the same location it should hang equally like a chandelier! When I get back to Oregon I shall post pictures of how it looks in my new room! Enjoy xoxo

DIY:: Mustache Pillow


Mustaches are really in right now, so what better form than pillow form! Combining my love of pillow-making with my roommate Shelby's love of facial hair!

Supplies:
  • 3 different fabrics
  • Sewing machine
  • Mustache stencil 
    • I made mine, but you could easily print one off the internet!


I dug up some leftover fabric from my prom dress to give the mustache a little class! And used a homemade stencil that I'm sure will come in handy later.



After sewing down the mustache cut the back fabric and put the fronts of the two rectangles together and stitch! Leaving an opening to turn inside out! And there you have it! 

Enjoy xoxo!
