DIY Headband Holder

Earlier this week I finally got a chance to start on a super fun project for Little Miss. See Little Miss is all about hair goodies! Whether it be bows, ponytail holders, barrettes, flowers or headbands, she loves them all and has quite a few of them!! Which means they usually end up scattered from one end of the house to the other, hidden in the backpack or even in the back of my truck. So after seeing this on Pinterest I followed the link to this post and figured it be something neat and fun to make!! I'm all about the organization, makes for a happier me that is for sure!! It can either stay on the bathroom counter or go on her vanity, as long as the headbands stay in one place I am uber happy! I had all supplies on hand so my crafty time began!! I figured I would share :)

Let's begin with all the supplies needed: an empty oatmeal container, fabric(Little Miss is all about hot pink and zebra so this was her fabric of choice), mod podge, foam brush, ribbon and a glue gun!!

First you will want to cut a piece of fabric, I did mine a rough cut like in the tutorial. If I had a mat and rotary cutter I probably would have make it more precise, but this worked just fine for me too! Then just take some mod podge and cover a big section of the container.

Next you will want to just wrap the fabric tightly around the container, if there are any bumps smooth them out. 

Then you will just fold the remaining fabric inside the container and under as well! 

After you are finished set aside to dry

Cut another fabric square for the lid and cover with the mod podge. Wrap the lid in fabric. The tutorial had to use the glue gun and wrap fabric that way. Part of me wishes that I would have done it that way to eliminate so of the mod podge soaking the fabric, but it wasn't as noticeable once it dried.

Lastly cut a piece of fun ribbon to wrap around the edge of the lid. My glue gun was taking too long to heat up for me so I just pinned it for picture purposes and then went back and glued it around the lid.

After all is complete just let it dry and you are good to go for a way fun and cute headband holder!! No more headbands scattered everywhere! You can even take off the lid and keep spare rubber bands, hair ties, ribbons, etc!! Duel purpose...even better!!

DIY Glitter Starbucks Tumbler

For a little while now I have been seeing the glitter Starbucks cup picture on Pinterest and knew it was totally something I had to try out! I mean, Starbucks and fun glitter...yes please!! Awesome combo??? I think so!!
 While I didn't have spray adhesive like a few of the blog posts suggested be used, I figured I'd try something I had on hand, Mod Podge! So I crossed my fingers, gathered up my tumbler, glitter, mod podge, a foam brush and went to work!
It didn't even occur to me to take step by step pictures until after I had posted my finished cup pictures on Instagram. So why not make another one, I mean you really cannot have too many fun cups right?! They are not perfect pictures (good camera battery was dunzo), so the point and shoot and iPhone totally came in handy!! So here is my Starbucks DIY Glitter Tumbler tutorial!

Let's begin with the supplies: Starbucks tumbler (the one that is two pieces, a lot of the newer cold cups are one solid piece), Glitter (any color or size works, I've seen it done with super fine glitter, I opted for bigger), Mod Podge, a foam brush, piece of paper and container (not pictured)

1. Take the foam brush and begin to paint the inside with the mod podge. You want to get it coated well and make sure it covers all areas inside of the cup.

2. After all areas of the cup have been coated with the Mod Podge pour glitter into the bottom of the cup

3. Take a piece of paper, I used heavy card stock and make sure that you cut to a somewhat smaller piece to cover the top of the cup. I made the mistake of leaving the paper big and when I went to shake, glitter flew out all over me, the desk and the floor lol

4.  Shake the cup a few times, you can also move the cup around to make sure glitter covers the inside of the cup. If you see any bare spots you can always shake more glitter into those areas to cover.

5. After you have it coated in glitter let cup dry, mine was about an hour and a half. Then if you want a thicker coat of glitter (which I did), you can repeat the glue and glitter until you get your desired results. I just did two coats and it was perfect!

6.  Let the cup fully dry! I did mine overnight and by the morning I was able to put the cup back together and  it was good to go!! I also did the same to one of the lids and learned that unless you want to drink some glitter that wasn't such a good idea lol! Thank goodness for back up lids though ;)

So if you are tired of just a plain clear Starbucks cup and glitter makes you smile, by all means glitter yours up! You won't regret it one bit!!

Halloween Pinterest Goodie

A little while back I found this super cute and fun candy pumpkin bracelet on pinterest and knew I just had to make it for Little Miss in time for her Fall Party :) While we didn't get it made before the party, what's better than wearing it with the Halloween outfit?! She LOVES it and it turned out super cute! I think when I make it next time I will make it not so loose and maybe use elastic rather than the dental floss, but it's awesome none the less!! The tutorial you can find here, among other totally awesome crafts and such!! Totally one of my favorite blogs for sure!!
