Something I've wanted for quite some time now is a travel utensil holder. I don't go out much, but when I do, I'm out for most of the day.  I always carry with me a reusable water bottle, but for some darn reason, I always forget to pack my utensils! It happens more often than I would like to admit, and of course, I always feel guilty about it. That's why I finally decided to make my own cutlery wrap. I couldn't wait to share with you guys how I made it without using a sewing machine (of course, to save yourself some time, you should definitely use one.) But if you're like me and still don't know how to properly use a sewing machine, then this tutorial is just for you! It was really simple to make, so let's get started, shall we?



SUPPLIES NEEDED:


  • The fabric of choice ( I used two patterns)
  • Needle & Thread
  • Pins
  • Scissors 
  • Ruler
  • Chalk
  • Ribbon/String
INSTRUCTIONS:

1.) Start by cutting the fabrics into two rectangular shapes (approximately 10 inches x 14 inches.) Make sure to cut the fabric taller than the tallest utensil. 

Use two different kinds of patterns if you want the outside of your wrap to be different.




2.) Then pin the fabrics together with the right sides facing each other.




3.) Stitch 3 sides of the fabric together, make sure to leave a half-inch seam allowance between the edge.

 Leave one side of the cutlery wrap open.




4.) When you are done sewing, turn the fabric inside out. Fold the edges of the opening in, and sew in place.



5.) To create the pocket, measure a piece of fabric ( 6inches x 10 inches.) 




6.) Fold the edges over and hem the top side only.




7.) Pin the pocket to the cutlery wrap. Then, sew the sides and the bottom of the fabrics together.




8.) Use a ruler and chalk to mark even lines on the pocket.



9.) Then, stitch straight down the lines to create individual pockets.



10.) Finally, wrap it using a piece of lace or string.

I've always been a sucker for hair accessories, and pearl hair clips are no exception. I've been seeing them all over social media and couldn't wait to recreate my own. It was less expensive to make and only took a few minutes to put together. These DIY pearl hair clips are so beautiful they will add a touch of elegance to any hairstyle.







Supplies Used:

  • Hair Clips/Bobby Pins
  • Pearls ( I used an old necklace)
  • Pliers
  • Glue



INSTRUCTIONS:

LOOK #1: Glue the beads to the hair clips (make sure to add a generous amount of glue) and allow them to dry.









LOOK #2: Glue the pearls across the entire bobby pin. Leave to dry and your all done!






LOOK #3: Take two bobby pins and carefully break them in half using your pliers. (If you're underage have an adult help you with this step.)

    
Take 3 pieces to form a triangle and glue the pieces together. Once dried, glue the pearls on the triangle. Take another bobby pin and glue it to the back of the triangle.



There you have it, your very own pearl hair clips. They turned out really nice, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and if you did, please don't forget to share it. Until next time...

Whenever I'm trying to save some money splurging on pedicures isn't always doable, but giving myself one from home is. Especially now that my feet are in desperate need of a fresh new pedicure, I thought it was the perfect occasion to share with you guys how I transformed my feet from fugly to fab! Thankfully it's a lot easier to achieve than you think just follow my ultimate guide on how to give yourself a salon-worthy pedicure from home. 




1.) Sanitizing Your Nail Tools.



Start off by sanitizing your tools with soap and water. Once dried, disinfect them with rubbing alcohol. 



2.) Remove Your Old Nail Polish.


Next, it's time to get rid of your old nail polish. Soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover to get rid of any leftover polish and any excess oil.



3.) Soak Your Feet.


Grab a bucket and fill it with warm water. Add your favorite bath salt and soak your feet for 10-15 minutes to allow your feet to soften. Remove your feet from the water and use a pumice stone to gently remove the calluses from under your feet. 




4.) Trimming Your Nails.



Dry your feet with a towel and gently push back your cuticles. Don't remove them because cuticles protect your nails from bacteria. Then, trim your nails straight across to avoid obtaining ingrown toenails. File the nails in one direction as filing back and forth (sawing motion) will only make your nail bed fragile and cause breakage. Afterward, buff your nails to make them smooth.



5.) Moisturizing Your Feet.

 Massage your feet with a hydrating lotion of choice to help moisturize your feet. Then apply cuticle oil to each individual toenail. Make sure to massage the oil on your cuticles and the sides of your nails. 




6.) Painting Your Nails.

Sarah Pflug



Grab a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol to remove any oily residue that can cause your nail polish to chip. Use a toe separator (If you have one.) Apply a basecoat, and once dried, apply a thin layer of nail polish (I recommend two coats) letting the polish dry in between coats. Lastly, finish off with a top coat to seal in the polish.
