Natural Jewelry Holder

Ok so i was cleaning up my room and realized my jewelry was so messy and i needed to clean it up. So i took a walk down to the canyon and grabbed a branch that i had found on the ground

What is needed:
- a branch with alot of twigs
- a small jar
- pebbels
- Spray paint
-hot glue
1st- Get your branch and strip it of any leaves. NOTE: make sure branch is strong enough to hold jewelry!

1.5- Put dots of hot glue onto the branch, this will help the jewelry be separated.

2nd- Spray paint the branch to a color you desire. Im using a creme color.

3rd- Find a whole bunch of pebbels and clean them off, then spray paint them(if you want) it could also look cool if you left them as is, i could not find any pebbles, so i used sand. and it worked. I dont have a picture for this because I didnt spraypaint the sand.
4th- Glue the bottom of the branch to the bottom inside the jar.

5th- Fill up with the pebbels or sand or whatever you want to fill it up with.
6th- Make sure its stable.

WERE DONE!
I think this woul be an awesome birthday present. Or any kind of present for that matter.

Caprisun Wallet

Here i'm going to show you how to make a wallet using recycled caprisuns. Its really easy and quick and efficient.

Your going to need:

-4 empty capri suns 0$

-an inch of velcro 1$ for a about a yard

-sewing maching (you could probably do it by hand but im sure that would be hard)

Preparation: Clean out the caprisun so that you dont get sick from bateria or mold.

1st-Set your machine on zigzag stich and sew 2 caprisuns together so its a little larger than a dollar bill. I make mine so that its 2.5 inches over lapping the other. Make 2.

2nd- Take the two pieces you have made and turn them over, you will see that there is excess caprisuns like this:

just sew that down to make it look like this:

3rd- Velcro. I like to use a straight stich on this. Set a peice of velcro so that its centered and 1 inch from the top. Sew.

On the 2nd peice, make sure to do the same, but on the OPPOSITE side. So you should have 2 peices that look like this:

4th-Set your machine so its zigzag stitch again. Put the 2 sides together (with velcro on opposite sides) and sew together leaving a place to put your cash and cards. NOTE: make sure you double back to reinforce the stiching.

AND WERE DONE!

Feather Hairpiece

So this week, I decided to post the tutorial for the feather hairpiece which i saw at Urban Outfitters for 18$

Anyway your going to need:

-Embroydery Floss - 25 cents
-Spring Loaded Hairclip- about 4 dollars for 10
-Beads- 1.99 for a pack
-Feathers-1.99 for a pack

-Ribbon- 1$

-Hot Glue gun/ glue to put it all together.

Preparation: Cut the Floss until you have the 4 different lengths you want. (my longest peice was the length of my hair)

1st- Get the clip and clip it onto a peice of paper. Then glue the ends of the 4 strings onto the tip.

2nd- Glue the strings onto the rest of the clip.

3rd-(optional) Sketch out the hair piece so you dont have it too bunched in one area.

4th-To attach beads and feathers to string, Slide on bead and make a knot where you want it to be located. NOTE: Dont not do the ends yet!

5th- With the bead a little higher than the knot, stick the feather into the bead and put hot glue or super glue on the knot, then quickly slide the bead onto the knot. NOTE: do not get glue on feathers, it will make them look clumpy.

6th- For the ends of the string, slide on a bead and make a knot leaving about an inch left on the string. Repeat step 5.

7th- Finishing off the clip, we are going to glue the end of the ribbon (with out touching the spring) to the inside of the clip. NOTE: Do NOT glue the top and bottom of clip together.

8th- Wrap all the way around too the tip and back, (keep it tight,) and glue the end to keep in place.

9th- Cut off ends of feathers that are hanging off, and take off excess glue. I also reglued everything so it really stays in place. Also, cut of the excess string at the ends.

AND WE ARE DONE!

...and this is what it will look like.
