DIY Galaxy Converse

As promised, here is the finished product of my sisters converse! I really want to keep them, they turned out much better than the earlier version as the shoe is canvas and gives off a nicer finish. Might have to invest in doing some of these for myself! After a lot of thought I decided on the white laces.

Steps

Finished

 Note: You might be able to tell that the rubber sole came out much cleaner, whiter and looking almost brand new! How I did this? Toothpaste and an old brush or scrubber. WIN

Want - Floral Fairylights

Just a quick little post;

My friend and I bought some cheap fairy lights for new years decorations, and now they are sitting at home in my wardrobe. I tried to think of some cool things I could do with them to decorate my room, how amazing are these floral lights?!

DIY Jewellery Frame

 

I absolutely adored this vintage style necklace hanger when I first saw it and immediately decided I wanted my own. Unfortunately I'm not quite handy with power tools, so I took this task to my Step Dad to help me out, Fortunately if you are like me you could still easily do this yourself.
 

Inspiration

Jewellery Frame mini Tutorial

What we did;
After establishing that we wanted the sticks on the back of the frame, the problem of not having any space between the wall and the frame came about; we solved this by adding a 3D 'frame' to the original.

You could also get this look by using a frame with a larger backing and using a glue gun to secure the sticks.

 

What you need:

A Frame (any Size)

Sticks (I used bamboo)

Glue Gun or Plastic Clamps

Picture Hooks

Paint (to match)
Sponge

Backing Board (Optional)

 

 You can see the original frame and the new backing here.
