birdies on a branch-nails for spring!

 these are my birdie nails!  i think they're really cute!  i didn't know i could paint nails this good! haha

these are the colors that i used.  the Art Deco is really fun to use!  i found them at the dollar store!  they have a huge selection of different colors.  so the way that i did them was: first i painted a blue base coat then when it dried i painted two strips of white so that it would look like a branch then when that dried i painted green dots and the way i did that was i wiped the brush off so that there wasn't so much paint on it and i dabbed it around the white branches so that they would look a little like leaves then i painted pink dots to look like birds and on one end i added a little line to look like a tail and when that was dried i added a black dot for the eye

fashionista friday!! my purpple ruffle dress

 haha so this is actually a funny story of how this dress came to be!  a couple of weeks ago my room was super messy with clothes thrown all over the floor...it still is but that's not the point! haha.  so i couldn't find anything that i wanted to wear and so at 8:00 at night i decided to make this dress!!!  crazy, right?  well i didn't think so...at the time.  i found this fabric at wal-mart for $5 a bullet!  an awesome deal!!  so anyways this is the first dress i have ever made!  i am pretty dang proud of myself!  i didn't even use a pattern.  i just sat down and started sewing and it came out to be this.  it took me about three hours to make and i wore it to school the next day!  haha.  i didn't know i had it in me!!  i had a lot of complications though.  the first time i sewed it together it was way too small!  this fabric does NOT stretch at all!  i couldn't even get it over my head! haha so i had to sew in some panels on the sides.  it was a gift and a curse.  it took longer to sew, but it gave it more shape and i actually like it a lot more now!

 i also wore my bobby pins with my dress!  if you missed the mini tutorial you can see it here or you could just scroll down. haha.  i posted it just the other day :)

girly bobby pins

 so these are my bobby pins!  they didn't take very long to make and weren't expensive at all...i bought a pack of 48 bobby pins at the dollar store so my total comes out to be...well a dollar! haha

 all you will need is some bobby pins, scrap fabric, some jewels, and a hot glue gun

 to make the white and purple flowers i cut some small circles out of fabric.  then i folded a single circle in half and then half again and glued the tip onto a small fabric circle.  then i just kept adding and adding until it looked like a flower!

 this is what it will look like when you are all done with the flower!  cute, huh?

then simply hot glue the flower onto the bobby pin!  bam!! you have a beautiful hair accessory!
