Easy DIY buntings (no sewing)

It was one of my girlfriend's hens night last weekend, of course I was on Decoration & Accessory duties. The theme was "Nautical".  I was so excited for her... and how can we start a party without cool decos? But what if you only have  2 hours to decorate a place from scratch? Here is a good idea just for you: 

What you need:

- Tissue paper ( I got mine from a shop called 2cheap for $1.50 per pack) 
- A pencil and a ruler 
- White strings ( I got mine again from 2cheap, the string is bit wide so you can easily staple the buntings onto it) 
- A pair of scissors 
- A stapler

Step 1:

Start by folding tissue paper into half once, then fold it again in thirds. Use a ruler, measure out your flags, my one is about 7" or 8″—big enough to make a statement. Use a pencil, draw out the shape of your flags. Trace and CUT. 

As I folded my tissue paper into half once, then folded it again in thirds, I got 3 double-sided flags out of every piece of tissue paper.  See how quick and easy that was? Especially when you are under bit time pressure. =D

Step 2:

Once you have them all cut out, simply staple it to the string. Once you've stapled all of them, you're ready to hang it.  All the materials only cost around $10, and it was so simple to make!  I love the mix of dark and light blue colors I was able to bring for the "Nautical" theme... 

And my girlfriend really loved it!!!

DIY Glitter Sneakers

Glitter is everywhere this season, I fell in love with those funky glitter sneakers I saw at the Shoe Connection the other day...

SO I have done some research on how to DIY glitter sneakers and came up with my own "designer" glitter sneakers on a budget!!! (Around $15) 

What you need:

- Plain white sneakers ( I got my pair from Warehouse for only $7.50...Whoop Whoop!!!)
- Masking tape
- A Paintbrush 

- Silver Glitter
- Mod-Podge Sealer in Gloss finish
- One small plastic plate

Step 1: 

Apply the masking tape over any parts of the shoe that you do not want to paint. Make sure to cover all of the soles.

Step 2:

Stir up the glitter/Mod-Podge mixture in the plastic plate.  You want it to have a somewhat grainy consistency.

Step 3:

Now is the FUN part... Start painting the glitter mixture on the shoe, working from the back of the shoe to the front. You may have to apply 2 or 3 layers until hardly any white space is showing on your sneakers. I applied 3 layers for mine and allow to dry for at least 15min before you add another layer of glitter. 

Step 4:

Paint a light coat of the Mod-Podge all over the glitter to create a seal.  Allow the shoes to dry overnight. 

The next day, its time to get Glitter ON!!!
