A girls gotta get her bead on...

I recently have decided to take on jewelry making because, well why not, and it has be ah-may-zing. I love making jewelry and being the dork that I am I have spent hours pouring over different beads and leather so that I can come up with new and fun designs. It's pretty spectacular. Anytime I find something that I really enjoy I put my entire heart and soul into it, and really I think that's how it should be =) So for your viewing pleasure I'm going to go ahead and photo bomb you with some of the stuff I've been working on lately. Enjoy!!







XOXO

D.I.Y. bedazzled makeup brushes...SO CUTE!!

Hi Y'all

Sometimes a girl just needs a little bling in her life. I have to admit that, given the chance, I will try to add rhinestones to just about anything (Oh yeah my husband just looooves that lol) but this time I found the PERFECT project. Bedazzled makeup brushes! What better to make super sparkly? I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't think of this sooner. I love making things my own and if you have a vanity table this is PERFECT for you. These would look so stinkin' cute in a glass container and makes doing your makeup that much more fun =)

All you need are:

1. Your makeup brushes. I use my sigma brushes. (If you don't have those or know what they are you NEED to check them out they are no joke!!)

2.Rhinestones, scrapbook paper, fabric...Anything that you want to cover your brushes with. I just used left overs from other projects so don't feel like you need to go out and buy a ton of stuff. Recycle!!

3. Glue. Now I used Gem Tack just because I have good luck with it but I'm sure you can use any craft glue as long as you use some kind of sealant afterward.


I even went ahead and used some old scrapbook paper to cover my MAC eyeshadow palette. I have found that the most important part is to make sure that you use Modpodge to seal everything once your done. So get out there and bedazzle something!!
