Tuesday's Top 10 1-01-2013

Hello everyone!

Happy new year! I hope this year will be great to all of you.
Since the first of January of this new year is on a Tuesday, let's celebrate with a Tuesday's top 10!
I haven't been very active the last couple of days because of Christmas and I had to travel to England for new year and, on the same day, my stepsisters birthday. So it's been pretty busy.
I'll be in England for some more days, so you can expect some activity from me.
Anyway, let's get rollin'

1.

I love galaxy prints, I would love to make these tights.
I'm probably going to use this techniques for shirts too.



   

2.

This is a great idea for a notebook cover, I've got loads of magazines just laying about.

3.

So cute! 
And so easy! I'd love this, it's amazing.
You can also very easily customize them, change the shape or colour.

4.

A lovely idea for home decoration, I've got loads of small plastic animals from when I was young so this is very possible.
Spray paint them in any colour you want!

5.

How to tie the perfect bow?
Yes please! I love this bow, and think of the things I could use it in.

6.

This is just such an easy way to make any cheap glass look classy and original.
Use it on everything!

7.

A cheap but classy looking chandelier?
Why not? And it's easily to customize, just spray paint the beads! 

8.

So easy and so lovely, You can also make fridge magnets out of these by just glueing a magnet on the back!

9.

Such a classy ornament, in this case, it was used for a wedding, but I could see it as a regular ornament or in a Christmas tree!

10.

This doesn't lead to a site.
It's more of inspiration. Take an old book and make a sketch every day of the year.
Wouldn't that be amazing?









I hope you liked my choice of DIY's and that they have been able to inspire you to make some of your own.
Let me hear from you if you have anything to say.
I hope to see you soon in my next blog post.

DIY roundup: Notebook

Hello people,

I'm going to show you around in the world of notebooks a little.

You might think, why DIY a notebook? They're not that expensive.

First of  all, if there is a cheaper possibility, I'm in.

Second of all, this is much more fun!

And third of all, plain notebooks are boring, if you have seen the possibilities of a custom made notebook, I guarantee that you'd want to make it! And above all, it's easy!

I have been looking around on the internet (craftgawker for example) and found a bunch of wonderful DIY's about things that have something to do with it, so I thought I would share them with you.

Notebooks come in many forms; The most popular one: the household notebook (a notebook where you keep track of your finances) 

Also there are travel notebooks (little books where you can write down your memories about your holiday)

I like notebooks that you carry around you and write inspiration in when it comes to you.
But you have the freedom to do whatever you want with it!

But first things first: The making of the notebook itself.

Here is a little roundup of notebook DIY's.

Notebooks come in many forms and shapes, these are a couple of them.

First one by Radical possibility:
"Making an anthro-inspired moleskin notebook and DIY gift tags".

Second one by Stars for streetlights

"DIY: How to make s vinyl record notebook."

This one is fabulous! I just love the idea of this notebook.

Third one by littlelivingstone 

"How to make a refillable pocket notebook"

Next: what to fill your pages with?

Let's start with blank pages but, if you're ready for something more, I have a little roundup of some great printables you could use.

Ahh printables, there are so many out there. 

So many different ones, that is.

First one by simple as that blog

"DIY pocket travel journal."

This is a great list of wonderful travel printables.

Third one by Creme de la craft

"DIY to do list notepad"  

This printable is great for a notepad, but can obviously also be used in notebooks.

Look around the internet for some more printables, there are awesome ones out there!

You can also look for stationary, instead of boring blank pages.

And then, how to spice up your boring notebook?

Once you have your notebook, and filled it up with lot's of stationary and printables.
Are you done? No way!
This is where the fun really starts!
