Small Crafts II
So If you recall I wanted to do some crafts that didn't take up too much space, and it went okay... Kind of. The "Test Vest" came out pretty well, I learned a few things and hopefully when I make one from a new T-Shirt (instead of one of my husbands old undershirts) it will be perfect! Here is the look I was going for:
And you can see the tutorial here. Or go to wobisobi.blogspot.com lots of great DIY on her site!
This DIY was SO easy (even for me! and I haven't been a DIY'er for long!) and I loooove the look of Draped Vests! When I get a new shirt and make the final product I will *try* to post a finished product picture!
I also wanted to try sharpie Tye Dye. This one was... okay. I couldn't seem to get a traditional-ish looking Tye Dye effect, but I *did* like the look I was getting... I ran into trouble when I was waiting for it to dry. I don't have a washer and dryer in my teensy apartment. So I had to let it air dry, not a good idea. The alcohol kept spreading and now it is MUCH less like Tye Dye then it was when I started...*sad face* But I will try again! At my Grandparents, where I will have a clothes dryer on hand! Try it yourself! This is another easy one! and there a about a million tutorials out there for it!
I also wanted some fun new easy nail art ideas. it's a fun fast easy way to be creative! And since it's DIY I can have a new look daily if I want, aaaaaand avoid costly nail salon costs. i do miss the awesome back rubs, but I didn't go often anyway. I have good nails so I don't do acrylic, and a regular manicure from a salon last just as long as it does if I do it myself so why spend the extra cash right? Now I can spend it on my crafts! *Maniacal Laugh*
There were 2 different ways to Tye Dye your nails, I tried both to varying degrees of success. I only do one nail, for me personally I think all of them with a crazy Tye Dye effect is too much. Here are the you tube videos I used!
this was my first one because method #2 seemed much harder, turns out they are both pretty easy!
