An idea to fix the "I'm board" time

Hi! 

In this post I wanted to share with you something really fun to do when you're bored. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To start out gather all the supplies you can think of to make a necklace charm. That way you can let your imagination flow! 

I grabbed beads, my jewelry pliers, wire, necklaces I never wear, chain (I found mine cheap at Walmart), eye pins... Just grab anything you think you might need. 

Next and last step, GO CRAZY!!! 

I took apart old necklaces that I would never wear, attached jump rings, pared, matched, ask opinions from family, and TADA!! Easy and fun, I am going to attach mine to a long chain (from another necklaces).  

An idea for another necklace would be lots of pices of chain hanging from a jump ring with a few little charms; or get an old key at a antique shop. 

This is a picture of two I have made. 

I hope this will help give you some "I'm board" ideas

Easy and cute nail art!

This is the last spring nail art! I want to do some DIYs next. I'm still going to try to post once a week... 

Anyway here it is!

~~~~~~~~~

Start by painting your ring finger a sparkly silver and paint the rest of your nails a solid pink. 

Taking your silver, paint a small line straight down the middle of all your pink nails. You can do this with a dotting tool or a nail striper will work. 

Take your dotting tool, dip it into the silver polish and make dots in a zigzag pattern down the line on the pink nails. 

Now make dots on the nail in between the dots that you just made... See picture.  

Do this pattern onto other side of the line. 

do this also on the ring finger except, with the pink on the silver. 

 

Your done!!! 

I hope you enjoyed this nail tutorial.  Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see!

Two spring designs when you don't have much time

Hi! 

Today's spring design is for those days when you don't want to do anything time consuming on your nails but don't want to leave them plain. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Start with a base coat,then paint your base color. Now add 2 dots kitty corner to each other. 

Make two smaller dots on each side of the first dot. 

Add another two dots but even smaller. 

Add your top coat and your done with the first design. Moving on to number two! 

~~~~~~~

I saw this technique for making flowers on YouTube and loved it! 

Start with the same base color but add a sparkly coat on top. 

Now make five white dots in the bottom right corner of your nail. 

While it is still wet, drag a toothpick from the top one fourth of the dot to the center. Do that to all five dots. 

Put some dots around the flower to add interest, put on a topcoat, and you're done! 

So easy for those day that you are not feeling artistic! 

Hope you enjoyed!

P.S. I would love to hear what DIYs you would like me to do this summer.

Just so you know, I have the next nail art post written. I just need to correct the gramer:)  

Spring nail art

Hi! 

This nailed design it's easier than last weeks but slightly time-consuming. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will need: Nail polish and a toothpick. 

Start with a base coat to keep your nail from staining. Paint your nail a spring color, I'm using the same orangish  color from last week. 

Take your white and put a dot of it onto a piece of tin foil or something plastic. Now take your toothpick dip it in the white polish and draw a little line, like so. 

Draw a line the same length but going down. Do this all the way across your nail. 

Continue this all across your nails. 

Add some glitter in between the lines to give it an extra sparkle. If you don't have a nail striper you can paint a glitter coat before you paint the line. 

Your done! 

I thing it would make a beautiful accent finger! 

I hope you enjoy!!
