Spring Hairstyle + Photo Shoot

Hello lovely people!

Here is a super cute hairstyle for you to try this spring!
It was inspired by the 2006 version of Lizzy’s hairstyle from pride and prejudice.
All of these photos where taken by my sister, Rylee from picture Perfect AG and When I Dream.
I did the hairstyle and asked her to take the pictures for the post. Instead she did my makeup and chose my outfit and went crazy with pictures! ;P
 She did an amazing job on the photos and she is going to put them all at the end of this post so you can see them!
Anyway, enjoy the tutorial! =)

~~~~~~~~~~

Start by tying your hair into two pigtails that are close together at the back of your head. 

It works best if you use little elastics that are close to your hair color. 

Braid both pigtails. You can pull on the edges of the braid to make it look bigger. 

Now wrap the braid around the other braid and pin it into place. 

Wrap the other braid around and pin as well.  

Tuck in the ends and pin anything that is loose. 

Pull out hair around your face and curl it with a whatever you want. I used a straightener because I wanted looser curls. 

Then, just hairspray everything to keep it in place. 

And your done! 

Here is the photoshoot that Ry took. =)

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial and photoshoot!

Also, I’m not quite sure yet but, I’m hoping to start doing a post every Saturday. 

Be sure to comment and tell me what picture is your favorite! xD

Re-doing My Junk Hip Quiver

Hey!
This post is going to show you how I re-did the quiver that came with my bow. The one that came with it was a piece of junk! It was suppose to hook onto your belt and hold your arrows, but when I put my arrows in and hooked it on, they slowly tipped forward and crash!!! They all fell out! No way that was going to work for me! I have no clue why they even sell them! Anyway, I hated it and didn’t feel like spending any money for a better one. I looked online but didn’t find any helpful tutorials for my situation.
So I decided to turn my junky hip quiver into a back quiver. It turned out better then I thought it was going to.
~~~~~~~~~~

This is what my quiver looked like before I re-did it. Mine didn’t come with anything solid on the inside to keep it open and is black instead of gray; but it had the same hook that attaches to the waist.  

Things you will need: 

An old belt that you will never again need to hold up your pants. 

Needle and thread.

An empty duct tape roll. 

Some stuff you can use to take apart the belt...just use what you have. 

Something sharp. 

A sizzors. 

A lighter. 

Safety pins. 

Ok, so I started my quiver by sewing the end of my belt to the top back of the quiver. 

It’s kinda hard to sew through leather...I would recommend sewing through the places that the belt has already been sewn through. 

To hold the opening open I put a duct tape skeleton on the inside. My opening was too small to fit the roll so I just cut the roll down to size. 

I detached the buckle from the end of the belt...do it however it works...Then I cut the strap that the quiver came with. I cut it off all the way at the top but left maybe five inches on the bottom. Then I poked a hole in the strap and put on my belt buckle. 

I attached it with safety pins... I didn’t know if it was going to work so I used safety pins for a test. It worked so well that I didn’t sew it:) 

Then I burned the end with a torch so that it wouldn’t fray. 

I poked holes on the other end of the belt with that sharp object. I had a sharp pokey thing on one of my knives. 

For some reason I wanted to make a pouch for my quiver so that I could carry stuff. I can’t imagine that I would have to explain what I did... I’m a terrible sewer. If I can do it you can! Then I just sewed the pouch to the front of the quiver. I have some bandages, matches, and a tinny little knife that some friends gave me. 

Done! 

To put it on just put it across your back and buckle it up nice and tight.

I hope that some day a girl, juts as odd as I am, looking for a way to fix a junk quiver, stumbles upon this blog post and finds it helpful:) 

I hope you have a great rest to of the weekend.

Sorry!

Hey! 

I want to tell you I tried really hard to think of some post to do for Easter! I could not think of anything!
My mind is blank! Done! NOTHING!!
So when my dad asked me what I decided to do for an Easter post my reply was “An apology post on Monday!” So here it is! I’m sorry that I didn’t do anything for Easter but now without the pressure to do a post about Easter I can finally do something else;)
I have been working on a lot of different things recently...when that happens my room turns into a tornado of stuff. A tornado is what it looks like now... My floor is covered in craft stuff! One of the things that has been keeping me busy is this DIY from Ashley Hackshaw! It took me a while but I think I finally got the hang of it;) 

check it out!

 I hope this keeps you as busy as it has kept me!
I think for my next post I’m going to show you the quiver that I have revised.
Until then!
