DIY glitter nails

This idea came from a little card on my Julep box last month. It's a really easy DIY for some fun glitter nails.

You will need:

• Base coat
• Loose glitter of your choice (craft shops such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby will have some)
• Top coat

1. On clean nails, apply base coat. Do this one nail at a time.

2. Immediately pour or sprinkle loose glitter onto nail before base coat dries. You can reuse the excess glitter, I poured it back into the little jar.

3. Repeat on all fingers.

4. Place your hand under low running faucet to remove excess glitter.

5. Apply top coat and let dry.

Viola!~ fun and easy peasy.

Why haven't I thought of this before?

DIY flower clip/brooch

Christmas is so near, just a couple more days! I wanted to share a do-it-yourself tutorial on how to make this poinsettia clip/brooch. I apologize that this is SO last minute. In hopes that maybe some of you may be doing some last minute Christmas shopping, you could pick up some of the items along your way. Although you could use any silk flower, the poinsettias will definitely add a bit of festivities to your look. Enjoy~

Materials needed: All these can be purchased at a craft store.

• Poinsettia flower [silk]
• Black felt
• Hair clips 
• Scissors
• Hot glue or craft glue

Step 1: Detach flower from stem. Usually you can pull it out, if not, cut it.

Step 2: Cut a circle on the black felt to fit the bottom of the flower.

Step 3: Cut 2 small incisions in the middle of the circle felt. Place hair clip inside, like shown. 

Step 4: Use the hot glue [be careful!] or craft glue to secure the hair clip to the felt.

Step 5: Apply glue to the back side of felt and clip.

Step 6: Carefully and gently place the glued side of felt to the bottom side of the flower, and let dry.

VIOLA!
