Valentine's DIY

Here's the DIY I have prepared for Valentine's day. It's a little album for your loved one, and I'm going to explain how I've do it so you can make it yourself. I hope you like it! 


✎ What do you need

▷ Black and whichever coloured pen you like
▷ A poster board of a light colour
▷ Cardboard ( from a box )
▷ Metal binder rings ( if you don't know what it is you'll see it on the pics )
▷ Little pictures of you and your mate
▷ Adhesive tape or washi tape
▷ Scissors and glue
▷ A paper punch

☞ Steps

The first thing you have to do is get a little book or notebook of the size that you want for the album and draw its shape on the cardboard. 

Then you have to cut it and do it again to make the back cover of your little album. 

Now that you have the shape of the cover you have to draw and cut this shape on the poster board. I put 4  and secured them with a clip to go faster and not have to cut thousands of times the same shape. 

The next step is make the holes to your little album pages. Centre the paper punch and do the holes. I made some marks to get all of them on the same place more or less (cause my paper punch doesn't work well and I could make just 2 at a time). 

Now we have to perforate the cover. Centring our previously perforated poster board and make the holes with a pencil is the easiest way.

To make a bit cute the front cover I cut a cardboard rectangle and another one a bit smaller with poster board and wrote "our name" in the best way I could. Then I fixed them with glue and stuck it on the cover with superglue. 

Now comes the most personal part of the gift, you have to cut the pics and stick them to the album with some phrases. I put some nice qualities of my friend and a picture that represents each one. I put some funny pics and ones from a TV show that we love, I put some cute stickers too... Just be a bit creative!

Christmas DIY

Hi guys, Christmas is about to come, and I've prepared a thing you can make yourself to give to someone special ♫, or just to keep it at home and decorate the house with it.

It's a mini Christmas tree, the steps to make it are really simple and I love how it looks, it's so cute 

The things we need:

☞ A gorgeous pine cone (with a nice one we're done, when we'll end it's gonna look gorgeous ^^)

☞ Cotton balls/ cotton

☞ Scissors

☞ A mini pot

☞ Green spray or green paint

☞ White paint

☞ A little brush and a bigger one if we don't have the spray

☞ Glitter (optional)

☞ A beautiful ribbon

☞ Super glue

Now we have it all let's start choosing a pine cone and cleaning it a little with a paper napkin. Cleaning the pine cone is important to paint it better.

Now we have our pine cone ready it's time to paint it! If we have a spray to do it be sure not to spray it really close 'cause is not going to look nice... I painted my pine cone with green emerald tempera mixed with a bit of white.

Now we've painted all the pine cone we're going to add a bit of detail painting with white the centres of every "scale" of our pine cone, don't know if you're understanding me but with the image below it's gonna be easier to. 

The most important thing that has to have a Christmas tree, the star! To make mine I've drawn a little star on a cardboard and cut it out. To make it more brighter I've painted the star with a yellow coloured pencil. And I've stuck the star with super glue.

After making the last details to our tree we have to put some pieces of paper on the bottom of the pot to make like a base and then we put the cotton balls. 

When we have the cotton inside the pot we put the completed tree. The last thing we have to do is spread some glitter on it. I couldn't find normal glitter and I've spread some glittered eyeshadow. 

 The last step is decorate the mini pot. I cut this gold ribbon and I've fix it with a double-face tape but you can do it with normal transparent tape, in fact it's better.

Sorry for my messy nail

And that's all. Can you see? Is really easy to do and, for me at least, it looks really cute. I hope you like this post and have a nice Christmas!

Cold but soft lips

Hello cuties! Today I'm posting something for a frequent problem in winter, although we are in autumn it's getting really cold where I live. Well there I go with a solution for dry lips, and how to make them smooth and soft. ^^

The first to do to have healthy lips is get out the death skin from your lips. For that we're gonna use a lip scrub. We can buy it on a store, or make it ourselves, and that's what we're going to do today. The ingredients are very common, surely you have them at home, and the steps are really, really easy.

Mother's day DIYs

Yey guys! Tomorrow is Mother's day (here in Spain) and I thought I could give you some ideas for your mother's gifts. I'm gonna show you two gifts that you can make yourself, well not everything but... well, you're gonna see it right now!

Flowers

Yes, that's it, very simple, but we're gonna put a bit of us in this flowers, we're gonna wrap them nicely and add a little tag. :)

The first step is buy a type of flour, of the type that she likes the most (if you know it) or the colour.

We're gonna need this things:

• Wrapping paper
• Cellophane (I'm using a yellow one)
• A piece of string
• Love :3
• Cardboard 
• An elastic band
• A paper punch
• Scissors
• A pen

First we have to cut a rectangle of cellophane, and put it below the pot with the flours.

Then we take the pot with the two hands togheter with the cellophane and we put the elastic band.

And now we cut a rectangle of wrapping paper, but a little bit smaller than the cellophane one. And we do the same.

Now with the cardboard we're gonna make a little tag, and using a paper punch we make the round hole. Or we can buy the tag, there are cute ones in Mr.Wonderful Shop.

Now we write our love message to mom, (I painted the circle with a brown marker) and on the elastic band we tie a knot, we put the tag on the string, and then we tie a bow.

That's all!

Makeup box

This gift is for my cousin, but I thought that is cool for any woman, so I modified some things and I made it for mum's.

I bought this box with some make up in, and I decided to put a little of me, and more things.

We need:

• Tissue paper
• A little box
• Makeup products
• Cardboard
• A pen
• Double-faced Scotch tape (or just scotch tape)

First we rip the tissue paper (of 10cm more or less), we make little balls and we put them on the box. 

Now all we have to do is distribute the products in floors. We put paper balls and some products, then we cover them with more paper balls and we do the same steps until there's no more makeup to add. Then we cut a square of tissue paper and we cover the top of the full box.

Now with the cardboard we make a target with our message with the shape of the cap to put it in.

Now we put the Double-faced Scotch tape on the back of the target, or we make a circle with a stripe of scotch tape with the sticking side out.

And we stick our card on the inner side of the cap.

That's it! ^^
