DIY Felt Earbud Holder

Saturday, January 31, 2015

 I'm always throwing my headphones into my backpack or purse where they always 
get super tangled. I've seen some cute headphone holders on Etsy and Pinterest and 
I knew I had to make my own. There great at keeping ear buds untangled and there 
super easy to make!

 You'll Need: Two colors of felt, Scissors, Two jars of different sizes, a sewing machine or 
needle and thread, Chalk, and a button

 Start by tracing around the jars on the felt using chalk. You'll want two different sized 
circles from different colors of felt.
Next cut out the two circles you traced. I used special scissors called pinking shears to make 
this cute zigzag design.
Now place the smaller circle in the center of the large circle and sew them together. 
Next you'll want to sew on a button. Make sure to put the button on the inside of the ear 
bud holder. For example I flipped mine over to the yellow side and and placed the button 
close to the top.To find the where to put the button hole fold it in half and cut a small slit 
where the button meets.
Now your done! you'll will never have tangled ear buds again. :)

I love these so much. There super useful and super cute. Definitely a win win!I hope you like 
this DIY. Thanks for reading!

DIY Tissue Paper Wreath

Monday, December 15, 2014

Hello Everyone! Can you believe Christmas almost here? I'm super excited about it, and even more excited that winter break will start this weekend.
Today I'm sharing this simple tissue paper wreath I made for my room. I think its a festive and simple way to add some color to any space for the holiday season. 

Materials:
A foam wreath
Tissue Paper (any colors)
Ribbon
Wire
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Pom poms (optional)

Step 1: Cut strips about 1 1/2 inches wide from the tissue paper. Then make slits in each peace to make the fringe and cut pieces that will fit around the foam.

Step 2: Using a hot glue gun make a dot of glue on the back side of the wreath and stick the tissue to it. Wrap the tissue around and glue the other end down in the same spot. 

Continue step 2 till you have covered the whole wreath with your same color pattern.

Step 3: Turn the wreath over to the back and poke a small hole in the foam using the scissors. Make a loop out of a small piece of wire, stick the ends in to the hole and add some hot glue. Hold the wire place for a few seconds till the glue dries. This will help you hang the wreath.

Step 4: To make the bow simply tie a bow using the ribbon of your choice. To add a little extra sparkle I added a glittery pom pom in the middle. To put on the bow try hanging it up to ensure that the bow is centered correctly.

This wreath is super simple to make and very cute to have around your house. I looks great hanging on a door or set on a mantle. I Hope you enjoyed this DIY. Happy Holidays!!!

pens and anything else.

and pin it in place. Then sew along the pin line.



 Step 3: Pin of the flap. Line it up with the top edge of the fabric. Pin it on the 
brighter side of the printed fabric. Then sew it along the pin line.

 Step 4: Fold the fabric so that the dull side of the fabric is showing. line up the hemmed 
side of the fabric to where the flap begins and pin it in place and sew.
Step 5: Flip the bag right side out. mark where you want your button on both the bag 
and the flap then sew it on and cut a button hole.
