Painting the Roses Red...ish

hello everyone!! so I was on the internet shopping and I saw the most unusual thing.. it was alice in wonderland leggings. I thought they were so cool so they inspired me a little bit. that was always my favorite childhood Disney movie, and after I saw that movie, I started to sing the songs.... "painting the roses red, painting the roses red!" and if reminded me that I had plain white roses.. and I wanted to make them more exciting:) so I decided to paint my roses pink, yellow, teal and purple:D

I decided to glitterize mine, but I thought they looked rough and just unique and shabby chic at the same time! literally all I did was dip them in paint and sprinkled glitter on them lol! so just try this wit your fake flowers and paint and I promise it will spice everything up!

DIY: Galaxy Shoes!!

Hey everyone! so today, I'm going to show you guys how to do my version of the galaxy shoes! these are super popular this summer and the galaxy patter is just growing in popularity! People are wearing the galaxy print on everything from shoes to pants to shirts and jewelry!

 

 

to do this project you will need:

 

- an old pair of sneakers ( vans or converse work best )

 

-fabric paint or acrylic paint in colors black, blue, purple, teal, and white ( fabric paint is best because its flexible with the fabric, but with these shoes, they were harder, so I found acrylic paint worked fine, plus I already had it handy :D )

 

- foam paint brushes

 

-dotting tools or toothpicks

 

-hard paintbrush

 

- *optional rhinestones*

 

 

ok, so this is what my shoes looked like before...

 



 

 

 

so to start, you want to take the shoelaces out, and take either painters tape, or regular tape, and go around the white part of the shoes to make sure you don't get any tape on them. then, paint the entire shoe black.

 

 

 

I know it looks like I got paint everywhere, but its on the tape.

 

 

then, take a foam applicator and dab random splotches of dark blue, teal, purple and white all over the shoes, knowing that the white spots are the galaxys so try and make them oval shaped.

 

 

 

it might look a little funky at first, but then, take a hard paint brush and dip it in white paint and fling it in little splotches on the shoe to create the look of little stars like above.

 

then take a toothpick and add bigger stars in patterns

 

 

then the last step is to glue on some rhinestones if you want to and then you put the laces back in and take the tape off.

 

 

these are pretty cool! and there a lot more exciting than they were before! plus these are custom, so you can say that no one else has a pair like these!

 

if you want to, you can take fabric dye and dye the shoelaces to match, but I thought it looked cool with the white.

DIY: Make-up Brush Holder! ( Cheap & easy room decor day 4)

Hello everyone! today I'm going to show you a idea that was not mine. I found it by the lovely missglamorazzi on YouTube. it's a makeup brush holder made using a empty candle jar, and some glitter! Here's the video I watched to make this brush holder below!

Missglamorazzi's video for the DIY brush holder!

to make this brush holder, you will need:

1.) a empty candle jar
2.) modpodge ( I'm using matte modgepodge but you could use glossy)
3.) glitter

first you need to clean out the old wax out of the jar. I did this by placing it in the freezer overnight and the next day using a knife to crack the wax like ice and get it out.
then I washed it out with some dawn dish soap and some acetone ( nail polish remover) it helps to get the residue out

next paint the inside of the jar with a layer of modpodge

 

next, pick out your glitter and dump some in there and roll it around to cover the entire jar.

 

I chose a light pink glitter to match my room décor.

 



after I gave it sometime to dry, I sprayed the glitter on the inside with some spray adhesive first, then I put another couple layers of modpodge on the inside, so the glitter doesn't get on anything. glitter can be really annoying, but this method, you don't even know its there.

after that now you just have to add some filler! I used decorative marbles but you can use plant filer or you don't need to have anything:)

done! wasn't that fun:)

 

 

 

 

Thank you to missglamorazzi for the idea! it looks so cute and can be used  for soo many things!

have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
