DIY: Heart Polka Dot Jeans


Hey guys, ready for another DIY? I saw these Heart polka dot jeans on Pintrest & I had to make them. 


The materials: 
Old jeans
Painters tape
Marker
Ruler
Paint brush or sponge
Fabric paint
Ruler
Measurement tape ( forgot to but this in the picture )
Scissors (forgot this one too)


First you want to lay out your jeans flat and than find the middle on the with the measuring tape. Line it up straight and tape it your jeans so the measuring tape won't move around. Now, start making dots every 4 inches down. 


Next, line up the measuring tape so it's under your first marking and make a mark for every 2 inches across. Do that for all of the previous vertical dots. You should have a simple grid throughout your first leg, the spacing should be 2 inches apart horizontally and 4 inches apart vertically, an imaginary rectangle basically   

[for the next step you can use your ruler or measuring tape for your next marking, I however, just eye balled it.]

Now, you want to find the center of the rectangle and make a mark. In theory, each marking/dot should now be 2 inches apart from each other, vertical, horizontal and diagonal.  

Repeat all of these steps on the other leg. 


Now take the painters tape, fold it in half and cut out a heart. Tape it over the dots you made.


& dab paint over it. 


Peel off the tape, repeat & let it dry. That's it!! Don't worry about making mistakes, no one will notice! 


Enjoy guys!

DIY: Dolce & Gabbana Floral Sunnies


Hi loves, today is a DIY kind of day. I'm going to show you guys, how easy it is to make a pair of D&G inspired floral sunglasses, without the price tag of...$500?  


Ok, the supplies you will need is:
Strong glue - I recommend  E6000.
Cheap pair of shades. - I got mine at Forever21 for $6.50.
Cabochon/Polymer Clay Flowers. - I ordered mine at Etsy for under 5 bucks.
Nail polish. - Optional.


I didn't like how the pastel flowers looked against my glass frames, so I decided to turn then gold...with nail polish!!! You guys don't have to follow me & paint the flowers of course, remember, you are the boss of your DIYs. 


I used a black and gold nail polish to give the flowers an antique vibe to them. All I did was dabbed a few black polish around the roses and topped it off with 2-3 coats of gold polish. & after they finish air drying, all is left it to glue them on! It's that easy. I do recommend planning where you want to put the flowers first, and than gluing it in a well ventilated area.  


&&& the finished product! How expensive do these look? =P
