Leaf-in hair treatment (aka leaves for your hair)

I made these leaf-y hair rings for an advent calendar swap I've participated in!

The idea translated so well from the image in my head to how they actually came out! I'm really happy with these cute leaf- hair rings and want to make some for myself to keep & incorporate into my outfits.

Picture 1: An open notebook with the idea for the leaf hair accessory sketched out in blue pen. Some leaf shapes have already been cut out of green fabric printed with ferns and are laying next to the sketch.

Picture 2: A leaf sketched out on grid paper and cut out, in order to use it as a pattern. Two hairrings have been already prepared with it. The wooden spool of white thread and the green lace flower and wooden leaf earrings are coincidental clutter, but fit the theme well!

Picture 3: A decision was posed between a small brown hairring and a bigger brown hair ring. A finished leaf pair, ready to be attached to one of the hairrings is laying beneath. It's made out of two fabric leaves, which are connected by cotton yarn in the middle. The fabric leaves have been decorated with a stitch around the border and one stitch stem down the middle.

Picture 4: Shows the inside of a leaf. The two fabric sides have been sewn together but not yet turned inside-out. The threads also haven't been clipped yet, nor the seam allowance cut back. You can see the second leaf poking out of the turn hole.

Picture 5: Two finished hairrings with leaves knotted on them! They are both big hairrings (in brown and black). The fabric used for the leaves has a pretty fern pattern on it. The leaves look somehow inspired by nature and cartoonish at the same time.

A sweet and easy Dollar Tree DIY

This DIY is so easy to make, and it’s mostly from the Dollar Tree. I had the cutting boards. The gray felt containers, peat pots, and greenery are from the Dollar Tree. The directions are just too easy. Glue the felt boxes to the breadboard. Divide up one bunch of greenery among the peat pots Glue in the greenery in the pots. Put the pots in the gray felt boxes, glue to the cutting boards,…

Melinoe from Hades 2 inspired necklace/coronette! 😁 I am currently obsessed with playing first part through netflix but osmosis of internet showed me what the new addition is all about and I felt so inspired by seeing her stunning design that I had to make something!

And here is the result! 😁😁💪

Had to take a break from my projects again to make a pillow for a graduation gift so here's how that turned out

I loved stamps a lot every since I was a little kid. Today I found this stamp set with individual flower petals and bought it and immediately played around with it at home.

I really like how my first tries turned out already! They're cute little cards (about 10 x 5 cm).

Reinforcement....

Not only is it super flimsy, but it's vaguely sticky from boot glue. Unpleasant. We can Fix This

Just a basic stitch all around, until I get to the other side. Then, I attached the stitching to the little tab here (ladder stitch, kind of), since another thing is this strip feels like it could be torn off with enough force.... which........ for where the bracelet clasps. Not ideal! 😓 Tied it off on the tab, too.

Comparison!!!!! Not pictured: violently stabbing and slicing the eyelet. The material is sturdy enough/flexible that like, I think adding extra stitching there would be a net detriment (as well as a pain in the ass....)

Tools used! Not including the dart, but I can't recommend repurposing a dart enough for Stabbing Things. The blue pliers work as wire cutters, which also works on stubborn fabric. If you're having trouble getting a sewing needle through tough fabric, the other pliers are a life saver! Potentially a needle saver too....

Final results! The stitching is very subtle, BUT I think it adds So Much visually too.... I really like when you can tell someone has made an accessory by hand! Obvs there's plenty of handmade things that are super clean on a professional level quality (WHICH! VERY COOL!) but I also really like the amateurish quality!!! Adds a sort of roughness to it! 🫡😊
