My latest DIY projects
Lately I've been feeling really creative / bored (call it as you like) and had lots of free time. So I finally did some projects that I've been wanting to do for a while. Here they are (chronologically listed):
1. T-shirt statement necklace.
This one was fairly easy but time consuming with all that bling bling added.
2. Nerd Cat T-shirt
I hated the T-shirt! It's made from elastene and something other elastic as well so it was a pain in the *ass* to draw on it. Plus I didn't have my x-acto knife with me so I had to freehand it!
3. Karl Who? T-shirt.
A really easy one and yes I know that the origninal is white with black or blue writing.
4. Headband.
5. Flower brooches.
6. Necklace with black flower brooch.
7. A shopping bag (this one went a little bit wrong).
How was your weekend? Creative or not?

DIY Flower Headband
Hello!
Today I went to H&M in Ljubljana to check if they finally got some nail polishes (because in Maribor they got them). But the sellers don't even know that H&M has makeup! Arght ... Anyway I saw all those pretty flowers and that gave me an idea. Why not make a headband with a flower on my own and spare some money plus no one else will have it? :D
So I went to that 75 cents shop and got a fake flower and some headbands. Tomorrow I'll go again to buy some more fake flowers because this is such a fun and easy project and now I want to have tons of them! I'll do a super easy tutorial tomorrow if anyone is interested.
Here is the result:

How to: Stencil Shirt
This past weekend I felt really creative and so I learned how to sew, but that just wasn't enough and so I did some stenciling on some shirts.
Because this is such a simple way to improve your wardrobe I decided it would be fun to share it with you.
What you'll need:
- A blank shirt
- Wax paper or even better freezer paper or contact paper
- Fabric color or acrylic paints
- X-acto knife
- Brush
- Desired stencil
I decided to use acrylic color as I didn't have fabric color. You have to realize that stencils with acrylic color will be hard and not as durable as those with fabric color.
I really really suggest you to get freezer paper (here they don't even sell it) as you will have less problems when applying the stencil to the shirt.
So you have your stencil. Tape it on the wax/freezer paper and start cutting out the dark areas (or white if you have a black/dark shirt).
And now it's time to start coloring it! If you have FREEZER paper iron it to the shirt (wax side down) as it will stick to it and this step will be so much easier. If you have WAX paper DON'T iron it (I've learned it the hard way as everything starts rolling up) but rather use some tape.
Don't forget to place something between the front and back of the shirt, so that no paint bleeds through to the other side.
After this you should have the finished stencil. You should leave it to dry (check the instructions on the fabric color). I left it for approx. 30 min because acrylic paint dries really quickly.
I really love my old new shirt :D

DIY project: shoes
I've had this pair of pumps for some time now and they seemed boring yesterday so I decided to "upgrade" them. I picked all the studs from a belt and glued them on the heels. This is what came out
Now I like them more :D
Tools of the trade: studs, fast-drying glue, a hammer, a hour and half of your time :)
Thanks for looking :)
XOXO Parisky
