DIY: Friendship Bracelet







I'm sorry that I haven't been posting a lot for the past few weeks. It's officially the summer break but I'm still on a clinical placement for Uni. There's this dress that I made which needs a little alteration and another dress that I made which was destroyed in the washing machine. I shall tell these stories about my 2 dresses another time. Oh, and there's this shawl/scarf thing that I knitted for my friend which has yet to reach Germany!!! Oh bugger. So right now, I'll just show you guys this really simple friendship bracelet that I made a while ago...


This is really really simple and everyone can make it! I made this using a pack of $1 embroidery threads and a silver bracelet that I never wore. 


I didn't take pictures of the steps to tying the embroidery threads because you can easily find really good tutorials on the Internet. What I thought was more important for me to show was how to start and  finish the bracelet. So.... here it goes!

Starting
Finishing
All right, that's all for now! I'm going to work on my dresses!! xx




EDIT: Yikes... I think I forgot to mention that I used some fabric glue at the ends before cutting the strings. The fabric glue prevents the strings from becoming loose after cutting!!

LOOKBOOK: Hipster Girl

So, the scarf/shawl has not arrived at my friend's doorstep in Germany. I have been a fool believing the post office's staff who said that it would take 3 - 10 days for the parcel to reach the address...


HIPSTER GIRL LOOKBOOK FALL/WINTER 2011

HIPSTER GIRL LOOKBOOK SPRING/SUMMER 2012

This Hipster Girl dress-up game is seriously addictive. I wish there was a game like this that features all the clothes in my closet. I could spend the entire just sitting there and trying out different outfit combinations.

Capsule Wardrobe NUMBER 1 - Part 4 of 4

NUMBER THIRTY!!
This post is long overdue! As I mentioned in one of the posts before this, I have completed my Capsule Wardrobe project. Yes, I did it. I wore 30 different outfits in 30 different days with just 5 tops, 5 bottoms and 3 jackets. My very happy face above is a testament to how glad I am to be able to finally move on with my life... and wear something different. 


For my very final outfit (i.e. Number Thirty), I thought I should do something different. So... I wore my tartan shirt as a tube top with a bow tied at the front. Yayy!


And here, for your viewing pleasure, are all 30 outfits that I've worn over the span of the last few weeks. I know I haven't posted individual photos of Number 27, 28 and 29, but I guess there's no need because they are nothing special anyway.

That's all for now folks! I really got to go back to studying for my exams. The next post *should* be on my recent knitting project. I'll write a post on it as soon as it has reached my friend's doorstep in Germany! ^_^
