Fabric Flower Necklace with White Pearls
I used this tutorial as a guide for this necklace. I did not make the fabric flowers myself, I purchased it as a trim from a local trimming shop.
Hair Comb with Rhinestones Tutorial
Here is an easy tutorial on how to make this cute Rhinestone hair comb.
These are the materials you will need:
Hair Comb
Rhinestone Trim
Cotton Thread (you can also use suede or embroidery thread)
not pictured Hot Glue Gun and scissors
Take your hair comb and gently spread out the "teeth" of the comb. Not to much, just enough to allow the thread to pass easily.
Use your hot Glue gun to attach the rhinestone trim.
Start wrapping the trim with your thread. You can either knot it at the beginning or tuck the starting strand under your wraps. I've included a picture below of the back so you can see what mine looks like in the back. You can also glue the strand behind the rhinestone trim to secure it, then begin to wrap. I did three wraps each between the rhinestones, feel free to do as many as you like.
When you reach the end, knot the string and cut it off.
Here is what the back of mine looks like. My starting point is on the right side of this picture.
Here is the final product!

How to Get Perfect Shapes on your Nails Update!
I made an update for the "How to get perfect shapes on your nails" Post (original). It's a much simpler design and has very easy to follow steps.
I also created this little mini quick reference "cheat sheet" for the steps.
These are the materials you will need. Hole Puncher(s) I found smaller heart one at the dollar store, Nail polishes and masking tape (painters tape works also and I find it easier to work with thin tape).
Paint your nails with the base color you chose. Let them dry completely! This is important because you avoid smudges.
Punch out your shape with the hole puncher. It may be tricky because of the stickiness of the tape, just be gentle when tugging. Then attach the tape to your nail firmly, you want to prevent the polish from bleeding.
Apply polish over your shape. Gently pull off the tape before it dries. Be fun and creative in this step, add dots, glitter, leopard print anything that comes to mind in this step. Its easy to do it because the masking tape is covering the nail and its almost impossible to mess up! I stayed simple for this tut.
Apply your top coat and you're done!
Here is a close up look of the heart with the glitter.

Floral and Lace Jewelry Holder and Wall Art
I first saw this tutorial on Pinterest. I fell in love with it! I thought what a clever and cute way to display jewelry and use as wall art. Here is my version of the lace jewelry holder. I made a mini tutorial for it.
Here is what you will need. One Embroidery Hoop (your choice of size they come super small and super big), Paint (color that tickles your fancy- I used Acrylic paint), Fabric, Lace, trimming (I used a rhinestone trim) not pictured- a paint brush, fabric scissors and a hot glue gun.
Paint your Hoop. You only need to paint the outside hoop, but if you prefer (or are doing this without the background fabric, then paint both)
Fit both the fabric and lace over the inside smaller hoop. Place the larger hoop over all the fabric, and tighten the screw on top. Pull the fabrics from the back, gently, so they are snug and firm.
Then, I trimmed off all the excess fabric with my fabric scissors. (Make sure you use fabric scissors or really sharp ones so you have a clean edge) You can leave it just like this, if you want. It's super cute as is. But I love sparkle and wanted to add some rhinestone trim to it.
I used a hot glue gun and went around the hoop slowly adhering the trim.
Here is how it looks from the side.
and Viola! A Cute Floral and Lace Jewelry Holder.
Here is a close up shot- it is great to use as a background for jewelry shots too!

Cute Crochet Pink Bow iPhone Cozy (case)
My iPhone has been begging for a cute case...I've searched and searched and couldn't find one I was happy with, so I made one. Here she is....
I made a tight gray case- all single stitches. Then made a huge pink bow for the middle of it. I am going to use clear thread to stitch the bow ends down- they keep flipping up a bit. Below is a picture of it with some sparkles using the photo glitter app.
