A Day Of DIYing + 4 DIY's

My friend and I had been planning this day for so long! We had a whole list of things planned but only managed to really finish 4. We actually spent 2 whole days DIYing: a day, a night and another day. But it was so much fun! Below are the results and how to make them.

The DIY Tie Dye Top
Stuff you need:
Plain t-shirt
Dye
Rubber Bands

1. Bunch up a bit of the shirt.
2. Tie a rubber band at the bottom of the bunched up bit.
3. If you want you can add 1 or 2 more rubber band to a few of the bunched up bits.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 and cover up the entire shirt.
5. According to instructions in your dye packet dye the fabric.
6. Once the fabric is dry remove the rubber bands and iron.

I really love this method of tie-dye because it is so much more wearable than the multicolored ones, yet still fun to make.


The DIY High-Waisted Dress

We found this amazing tutorial at Talk To The Trees. Below are just a few photos showing how we made the dresses.



The DIY Adjustable Ring 
Stuff you need:
Water hose grip
Pliers
Screw driver

1. Begin by placing the water hose grip on a flat surface.
2. Hold the grip with pliers and pry it open using a screw driver.

The ring is adjustable so you can wear it on any toe or finger that you want. At the bottom of the ring there will be a small hole, possibly a place for a jewel or embellishment.


The DIY Lace Headband
Stuff you need:
Elastic lace
Needle and thread

1. Put the lace around your head and tighten until you feel it fits right. Cut 2 cm more than where it fits right.
2. Sew the 2 ends together and wear.

I love lace.

DIY Fabric Flower Ring

My inspiration: Pink flowers and sunny days. 


Ever since July of last year I have had an obsession for fabric flowers. I find them so fresh and feminine. But whenever I wore them they would always be in my hair, for a change I decided to make one in ring form. I have hundreds of floral headbands and hair clips lying around.


Stuff you need:
A ring base(I used a broken ring and stuck the flower on top)
Fabric
Paper
Needle and thread
Felt

1. Draw a flower that is the size and shape you want your ring to be and cut it our. Fold a strip of fabric 4 times and pin the flower cut out on the fabric.


2. Remove the excess fabric.



You should have four flower cut outs.


3. Fold each of them in half and half again.


4. Cut out a circular piece of felt.


5. Sew the petals onto the felt.


Add an embellishment and glue it to the ring. Tadaa!
