Day of DIY # 9.

Hellu!
I made this about a month ago, but now it's perfect to blog about it since I can fit on more in HHJaja's summer challenge for July :)

These were the supplies. Two t-shirts the bf didn't use anymore. But he liked the prints and asked if I could use them for a shopping bag. Since t-shirt fabric might not be all that for that particular purpose I made lining (foder?) with a pillow case that I got from a friend a few years back.

One side.

The other side.

And if you're feeling playful you can turn it inside out and use it like this. Cost for this project: 0. I like.

Action pic! ;)

Toodels!

Stripes on holo.

Hellu!
After a few days wear I wanted to add something and hide the scruffy tips ;)

Striping tape and one coat of China Glaze - Wagon Trail over Depend - 2030 + SV. Holo and shimmer, and two pretty colors :)

In the sun. That's shown itself here this week. Awesome!

Have you noticed that I really like striping tape? ;)

Another purple holo.

Hellu!
This was the last Depend holo to be swatched.

This is two coats of Depend - 2030 Plum over one coat of Color Club - Hot Like Lava. This turned out way pink... Next time I'll layer it over A England - Princess Tears. I want to preserve as much as I can from these tiny bottles... Sunlight.

Day light.

With flash.

Not very color accurate but you can see there is lots of rainbows at least :) What more could you want? ;)

Day of DIY # 8.

Hellu!
Here's another entry for HHJaja's summer upcycling challenge. This theme is T-shirt. I was very happy with this project :) It's the perfect use for t-shirts that are ill-fitting or have holes in them. Or if you just don't want to part from your favorite t-shirt that you never use anymore ;)

It's basically the same as the plastic rug I made but with t-shirts instead :) This one is the bf's bedroom rug.

Close up. All t-shirts except for the dark red were donated by the bf. And I still have lots left for my own rug :)

For size reference. It's a real rug :) All photos taken by the bf!

Cool bananas! Upcycling is the shit :)

Orange and red.

Hellu!
I felt like giving some love to an old polish.

I added striping tape and China Glaze - Foxy over Life Preserver + SV. Sunlight for once!

With flash. I liked the ring and pinkie best.

Toodels!

Day of DIY # 7.

Hellu!
When you love someone, make them an apron.

The bf needed an apron. Since it's super easy to make and mine is a tad bit too small for him ;) I just whipped one up. The fabric is an old tablecloth I got from my granddad. I also got the thread a while back so this apron cost zero. Sweet!

"Make some movement to show it off!" Lol :) He also wanted extra long ties (eh you get what I mean) so he could tie them in the front. Ask and receive!

I realised I've made four aprons in my time, and I gave them all away. To compensate, the two aprons I have were home made gifts as well. Score! :)

Holo swede.

Hellu!
I think it's really cool swedish brand Depend made a holographic line. And yes, the prices are not cool lol. Anyways. Here's another of the ones I got.

One coat of Depend - 2032 Denim Blue over one coat of China Glaze - First Mate. One coat love! ;) Pretty color, lots of rainbow. Flash pic.

I didn't take enough photos of this mani so here you get an out of focus one. But this is what it looks like without the rainbows. Still pretty :) Like!

Unfortunately we have some craptastic weather in Sweden atm... I've actually got holo on my toes as well but it's too cold to wave those around! Boh.
Toodels!
