$5 Dollar Craft Challenge...DIY Kids Animal Coin Purse

Hi Hi!

SO Once again I decided to jump in the dollar store crafts challenge 

( http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2012/07/link-up-for-the-5-craft-challenge/) this month it was pretty Fun. I had a hard time deciding what to do and how to do it with a budget of $5 possibilities are endless =)..

So I decided to make a little animal coin purse for my little mini me..... Peep Below for the Project Breakdown..

List of Supplies:

-Small Stuffed animal (I got hers from the dollar tree)

-Fabric for lining of purse (little bathing suit from dollar tree)

-Purse Strap Optional (I just took the one from the water bottle that i got from the dollar tree)

Needle and thread already had on hand. =) 

small stuffed animal, tiny bathing suit, and water bottle with strap

here is the little guy before he got De-Stuffed ....

De-stuffed =(

After you have de-stuffed your little animal turn it inside out and cut a piece of the lining you would like to sew inside of the purse part.Get your needle and thread sure wish i could have found my hot glue gun -_- ....uggh..anywho

Here is my lining sewn in =)

Here is the water bottle i took the straps off of to sew on the little animal as the purse straps...

Here are the straps removed

And grab that needle and thread again to sew the strap on for the last step =)

Another Dollar Store Craft Challenge: WEDDING CRAFTS

Hey hey! Ok So I decided to do yet another Dollar Store Crafts (http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2012/06/link-up-for-the-dollar-tree-wedding-challenge/ )  challenge the theme this time is WEDDINGS =) Now I myself did not have a big wedding I had a super small wedding...SUPER SMALL. But I often think about how i would have did things if I did have a traditional wedding.

Here is just a quick Craft Idea that's inexpensive 

DIY FRIDGE MAGNET SAVE THE DATES

List of Supplies

1. Power Clips (pack of 6 from the Dollar Tree)

2. Paint:  Spray Paint would work great but I didn't have any at the moment so I used nail polish

3. Print out of Save The Dates =))))  (MS Word)

4. A bead or a jewel to affix on top of the Magnet 

Clips   (6 pack for $1)

Paint the  magnet clip (this is the step where Spray Paint would have been GRRRREAT -_- )

Get your "Save the Date" and trim it to Size and add some colorful paper behind for a Border 

What it Looks like on the Fridge... close up below

Top it off with a Rhinestone and here is Finished Product YAY!! 

Until Next Time Love Laugh and Hula =)

Take care Lovely Glamies!

Project Vanity

I am a girly girl  but one thing I have never had was a cute little Vanity Table and the bench that came along with it. And not to mention those little sets can get expensive (besides the point of the post) anywho, I dont have the room for a vanity at the time but I wanted a little place to store my smell goods, jewlery, my close to non-existent make-up collection, and so on! So this post made me want to gather ideas of ways you can carve out a little niche on your dresser or corner of your closet or even a little hallway cupboard to make a tiny escape to Girly land as you primp for whatever outing you may get ready for. The key to keeping this space fun and inviting is keeping it Organized and while being glam and keeping that budget in check.
(I will be posting  my personal DIY Vanity)

Budget:
*AlwaysUse what you have or DIY =) (my fave)
$10 for little containers for jewelry and pieces and perhaps a sweet tray to set all your goodies on!

LETS GO......


I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE PIX (borrowed from Pinterest) 

this person used a used picture frame, magnets, and some fabric and a little spray paint and BAM!

A little organization goes a long way (loaf pans)

Add color to your Vanity Table top thru Mirrors, perfume bottles and your tray ;)

You don't need much to make it look Classy!

Re-invent Spaces!

Keep things tidy mix and match your jewelry makeup holders.

Re-purpose..An Old Frame into a Makeup Tray .. Sweet

Theres is no rule as to what size your table has to be...or that it even has to be a table =) It can be any thing from a shelf to a small corner in the bathroom.

Closet Cases! =)

I have recently acquired a couple special closet projects and I am super excited!

This particular client is bascially my sister LOL =) (she knows who she is). She has a lot of clothing of course she does cause she is a Glam Fashionista! So this is just the project for me, I wanted to think of a simple way for her to get her closet as fabulous as she is.  My plan is for us to go through what she needs and donate the  extras all the stuff she doesn’t need (she is probably shaking her head no to that if she is reading this). As soon as we pare down we are going to neatly tuck all the clothes away the best way possible folding, hanging, rolling, and stacking. We will def be using stuff she already has and not sure what pieces we will be purchasing just yet but we decide on that after we get things settled in there. So here are few ideas below that anyone can incorporate in their own closet. =) Getting Glam doesn’t have to be expensive actually you get more Glam points in my book for stretching your hard earned dollars. Just use a little creativity colorful bins for clothing items, (I will be posting a DIY of that too use what we got right?!) all the same hanger , make things neat you will be much happier to walk into your closet once its nice and neat! =) GET GLAM!!

Quote of the day: “If it takes you more than 30 seconds to find something it’s in the wrong place” 

Keep things simple and streamlined no need for an expensive REMODEL use what you have....purge all old items store out of season clothes under the bed =)

Make your closet a little chic boutique ....do you have a bookcase? Why not put it in your closet to display all your cute bags!

All little rug goes a long way. Why not throw a little rug down to give your closet a POSH feel =)

If you have shelves in your closet get the most out of them by using bins (dollar store is your friend) and be sure to use all the same HANGER style! Makes such a big difference.

Last but not least its doesn't cost anything to fold your clothing neatly and place them neatly =) Try it today!
