DIY: polka dot vase

.I found this pier 1 imports vase from the thrif store for $2.99. I painted
 polka dots all over using  gold nail polish.
Quite fun, and if you mess up you can use a q-tip with acetone to remove any
mistakes. Don't worry about it being perfect.
Just have fun!
 I'm quite happy with how it turned out, and it took me approximately
10 minutes. I think it's very Kate Spade-esque.
Let me know what you think and thanks for reading.

DIY hat ribbon


Hey guys, hope you had a well rested weekend.
Here's a new diy i've been working on.
With warmer days ahead, this will be a fun and useful addition to your spring and summer look.
Instead of buying a new hat, you can give it a fresh look just by adding a new ribbon.

I used fabric from an old shirt that was a little faded.
Remember what I said about throwing out old shirts that you
can potentially reuse. Yes it's a form of hoarding but i like to see it as recycling. ;)

Supplies needed:
fabric in your choice of design/color
Velcro with sticky backs
felt 

If you happen to have fabric ribbons laying around in the same width, 
I would recommend using that instead.
If not, this is a good chance to use any old shirts lying around.
The material i used was jersey cotton, a little hard to work with so i added felt
to make it thicker. 
Measure the length and width of the ribbon from your hat and go from there.
I'm pretty sure you can use fabric glue, but
I sewed it together to save time.
Once you have your ribbon ready add velcro stickies to both ends. (Hand stitch for extra security).
And there you have it, a new hat! sort of!


Imagine the possibilities, you can switch up the ribbons to match your outfits.
Try using floral, lace, or pastel colors.
 Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and let me know what you think!
