DIY: Wrapped in a Spiral

Goodnight creative Fairies!

Well summer is practically over now. I mean seriously, next week?!? I barely had time to breathe let alone start my History homework! Procrastination is not key, though I will conquer it on Sunday lads. I promised you a picture of my Lush buys, which are divine! I urge you all to buy one of the beauty beauties okay and I wasn't asking so go on, go to the shop. Their workers are supeeeeer friendly, not like in other shops *I will not name names ^.^*

Over the two week period, I got myself (from top left to right): Dragon's Egg (for my little nephew), Ickle Baby Bot, Blackberry Bath Bomb (the 'BOMB' one), Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment, Sunnyside, Sparkle Toothy Tabs, Rock Star soap, Think Pink and Tea Tree Toner Tab. I also have some of The Comforter left along with Creamy Candy Bubble Bar but they were cut up. I have already used Space Girl and Sex Bomb which I am in love with! Think Pink bath bomb has to be my favourite. I bought two already *yaay mee*. It's so pink, sweet and girly, the perfect treat! And for my Mother: (from top left to right): The Comforter, A French Kiss, Sweetie Pie, The Godmother soap, Honey Bee and Stepping Stone. I also got her Phoenix Rising though she didn't like and gave it to my little brother. He loves it of corse! My mother is now in love with Lush as I am, maybe not as much as me come to think of it. My growing obsession for Lush had me switching boxes every time I gained a new purchase *sigh, all that moving*. Seeing as we were re-painting the house (which equaled a tornado of mess), I decided to transform one of our 5litre empty paint cans into this Lush Can, which I call my Lushie Can! Gives you chills right??

It was quite hard to make with the glitter but I literally love the outcome. Even though the word 'Lush' isn't placed perfectly, it still looks totally cool! And who want's it to be perfect anyway? B-). Oh and this is how I celebrated Michael's 55th birthday! I know he likes balloons...

Moving on from my celebrations and Lush ramblings, this is another bracelet DIY which is simple and easy to make though it does require some concentration lads but I’m sure you can do it :D

Your Helpers:
~ Tape
~ Embroidery thread
~ Cardboard
~ Scissors
~ Ruler
~ Pencil
~ Something sharp or a screwdriver

1. Place the tape on the cardboard and draw around the outside of it, then cut it out.
2. Take your ruler and draw a straight line down (vertically) the middle of the cardboard circle.
3. Now draw another straight line horizontal to the first line you drew. Then draw a vertical line through the middle of the horizontal and vertical line. It should look like this.
4. Draw your final line through the vertical line, horizontally, so it will look like this. You should have only drawn 4 lines but ended up with 8 small sections, like a pizza - yum!

5. Make small snips at the end of each line, it should be around 1cm maximum, it should not be a deep cut.
6. Cut 7 pieces of embroidery thread around 30/40cm long. I think it's best to double up the thread as the bracelet will be thicker.
7. Take the screwdriver or pencil and pierce a hole through the middle. Push the start of the bracelet through the hole making sure the knot is at the bottom of the cardboard.
8. I don’t know why this picture is here, I guess I wasn’t concentrating...blah :D

9. Place each thread on each of the lines and you should have one line without a thread. Make the line without a thread face the LEFT like in the picture. Now from that point, going clockwise, take the THIRD thread and bring it to the line without a thread. In the picture: move the unhappy face to the smiling face.
10. It should then look like this. Again, move the new line without a thread to the left.
11. It should now look like this. Again, moving clockwise, take the NEW third thread and bring it to the NEW line without a thread.
12. It will now look like this.

13. The bottom will look like this if you don't untangle the thread while you are moving the thread.
14. Once you get into the hang of this, your spiral bracelet will start to emerge from the bottom until it's here LOL I had to do that.
15. After a while it will look like this and then...
16. You are finished!

I do hope you try this DIY Earthlings. There were so many "It will now look like this'" I felt like a broken record repeating itself! It is literally ABC once you get a hand of the technique okay! They are never that scary :D. If you do though, hash tag us at #ASdiy on Instagram or Twitter, we will totally check it out! Happy last week of Summer my fellow readers! Family day out to Coral Reef tomorrow shall help ease this pain mwhahaha O.o

DIY: Gummy Spikes

Good Afternoon Fairies!

Well yesterday was one of the most important days of our 6th Former lives - RESULTS DAY. I wasn't as scared as I normally am because I had faith. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but thank God that it was good enough to keep me at my school and on my preferred courses. One thing, I can't go to UCL now (cries while I indulge in comfort food), I will find a substitue no doubt! But the key thing is, to turn your broken piece into a master piece! Today is a new day, you can shape your future, you can make that change if your not satisfed with your past okay! It's not the end of the world...! Wow, so many exclamation marks - just for emphasis. Okay, moving on from my possibly irrelevant pep talk as I quote Nick Minaj *that moment when your head repeats an annoying lyric*. One last thing, DIY Fri will come every fortnight seeing as this Friday came in a flash! I will not have enough time once my head is involuntarily forced in history books. It's not much of a change lads :D Here I will show you how to give life to your plain old silicone wristband...

Your helpers:
- Silicone wristbands
- Spike studs
- Super glue
- Leather hole puncher



1. Lay the wristband flat on the ground. Fold it in half to find the center. Then take the Leather hole puncher to punch a hole through both sides of the band.
2. Now do the same thing but on the opposite side (the holes should be at the end to find the center in between) therefore you’ll have 4 holes.
3. Lie the wristband flat with a set of holes in the middle. Then fold both ends of the wristband inside to find the center between the end and middle (the hole and the end of the wristband). Remember to punch a hole through both sides of the band. You should have 8 holes now. You can now add the spikes! Push the screw of the spike through the inside of the band so the spike will appear on the outside of the band. Apply a small amount of glue at the tip of the screw to further secure the spike in place.

~*!DO NOT screw the spike too tightly as it’ll cause the band to expand and create an unflattering curve. Stop tightening when you start to see it expand!*~

Show off your old, now new, wristband! I decided to treat myself at Lush and picked up 5 gorgeous bath bombs! I shall post a picture in the next post :D I cannot wait to use them! They are literally lush! I think I have an addiction for exclamation marks lol. Don't forget to tag your DIY's at #ASdiy on Instagram, we will totally check it out! Happy Summer all.

DIY: Wrapped In Wire

Good Evening Fairies!

We’ve all been soaking up the scrumptious weather, though this week has taken a wrongful turn *cries* the rain, thunder and lightning!! One was so bright, I thought somebody came to my window and took a picture. It could have been the papz you know lol. So I have decided to make my DIY posts more consistent by introducing ‘It’s DIY Fri’. No brainer, you shall be presented with a DIY every Friday. The first post for It’s DIY Fri will be up tomorrow! Isn’t this exciting *shrikes*. This DIY is inspired by something I saw on Youtube. It was a necklace but I wanted it to be a ring instead so that is the interesting history behind this DIY. Swiftly moving on…

Your helpers:
- Beading/Jewellery wire
- Pliers
- Scissors
- Super Glue
- Any type of rock/stone

1. Take the wire and wrap it around the rock once. I don't want to give you a certain measurement to cut the wire at, as it depends on the size of it.
2. Take the starting side of the wire and tie it around the wire to form a hook. This will keep the rock in place while wrapping the remaining wire. Make sure this is tight.
3. Start to wrap the wire around the rock in all directions, however you like, until you are satisfied with the outcome.
4. Cut off 2-3cm of the same wire that is wrapped around the rock. This will be used to tie the ending knots. Once you have made a tight knot around some of the wires, it should look like this once the excess (if any) are cut off.

5. Feed the wire through as many wires underneath the rock as possible, aim for at least 2 wires.
6. Place your preferred finger around the wire to form the ring figure. Make sure you leave enough wire (approx. 1-2cm) to create another knot to secure this part.
7. You can wrap the section for the ring 1-4 times if you like, it’s totally up to you. Finally, make your last knots to fully secure your ring and you are finished!

I recently took a trip down to Margate beach and collected some fantastic rocks to use in the future! It is a fab project if you live near the beach. If you try this DIY, don't forget to post a picture on Instagram and hashtag #ASdiy as I would love to see your versions! I hope this has tickled your delightful taste buds to be wanting more - just wait until tomorrow ;)

DIY: Festival Fringe

Hello Fairies,

Please accept my sincere apologies for neglecting you for God knows how long. I really am sorry, though you were always on my mind. Well, let me catch you up on my crazy busy bee life. I went to the Wireless Festival last Friday and it was an exuberant day! I learned that I could constantly drink water and hold it in for 17 hours - I know, what a Boss B-). I was so close to touching Trey Songz, though the girl in front of me did *double sigh*. Justin Timberlake hit it out of the park for me (of corse). His performance was the best! He is so gorgeous, talented and a crucial asset to todays music industry. Not to mention, he performed The Jacksons' Shake Your Body Down to the Ground! I physically went insane with joy when this happened *closes eyes to reminisce* lol. I knew Mr Timberlake would include something of Michael; it was bound to happen, especially when he played the ending of This Place Hotel at the end of one of his songs. Moving on from my exceptional MJ knowledge, Wireless screamed DIY to me - more of the reason that I had no money and was asked to go 4 days before the concert. I know right?! My DIY outfit consisted of a headband, cropped fringe top and the festival fringe socks! But thank God summer is here! It will go significantly fast and there's nothing our young souls can do *cries* so let us come together and DIY! This one is simple and easy for you to do...

Your Helpers:
- a pair of white calf socks
- lace trimming
- cotton tassel/fringe trimming (mine was from an old poncho)
- needle and thread or fabric glue
- embellishments (optional)

1. Take the fringe trimming and wrap it around your ankle. Leave 2-3cm for the button and hole. Measure the lace to the same length (this is to hide the top part of the fringe trimming). Sew/glue the pieces together, it doesn't matter what side you start with.

2. Sew a button on one end of the trimming, then wrap it around your ankle again to see where to cut the hole. When cutting the hole, always make a small cut and then adjust if needed, as you want it to be secure.

3. Now it's time to sprinkle some fairy dust over these lovelies with some embellishments! Or simply leave them plain like this. You are in control fellow one.


Come to think of it, this is an anklet more than anything! God knows why it took me this long to realize dsjkhsdf hhaha. I can imagine it being worn over the elbow; I'll have to try that one out. Well, I was serious when I said I have countless DIY's for you all, so I know you'll forgive me - you have to! Okay I'm out to carry on with my project, therefore it is until next time Fairies. If you try this DIY out, post a picture and tag #ASdiy on Twitter or Instagram!

DIY: The Ring Holder

Hello Earthlings,

Yes! It's half term dudes! Thought this week would never come though, its practically over and I haven't finished my work - great. I really need to stop procrastinating, it's just taking over my crazy life, but I'm going to beat it out of me if I have to. Well yeah that's what school is like for me at the moment. Getting back to the topic of this post, I got your DIY *underlines 100 times* for yaaa!! So basically, I couldn't find the camera and it was likely to have been my fault. So I had to use my mums iphone. Not the greatest pictures but ohh well. And then I found the camera, after I finished making this. Guess who had it? My mother. LOL, the joy. Well with out further a do, I give you, the ring holder....

Your helpers:

-Magazines
-A Box
-Tape
-Scissors
-Ruler
-Material (preferably cotton)

D.I.Y: Something in a bottle...

Hello Earthlings,

Don’t you just love it when something comes in the post for you? It’s the bomb diggidy right?! Well from this excitement led to this D.I.Y post. Yes, I know, I’m spoiling you lovelies; but you should love it! It’s something I like to call: Something in a bottle. It’s so simple. Didn’t even take two days to post it on the blog- get inn!!! So seeing as it’s a simple D.I.Y, I shall stop babbling on. Have fun creating :D

Your helpers:

- Chain
- Jump rings
- Scissors
- Mini glass bottles
- Corkscrew (mine came with the bottle)
- Glitter
- Screw eyes
- Strong adhesive
- Letter beads
- Charms
- Beads
- Flash card
*I got most of my helpers from Ebay*

NOTE: there is no rule for what should be in this bottle. It is totally up to you, whatever you like. Heck you can even put in a crushed up Oreo. The possibilities are endless. Just make them unique to suit you. But feel free to do one like mine dudes.

1. Place the screw eye in the centre of the corkscrew.
2. Start to turn it clockwise applying pressure so it will go into the corkscrew. Once it can’t go down anymore, it should look like this.

3. Take the jump ring and open it with pliers or in my case scissors- they both do the job. Put it through the screw eye.
4. Take the middle link of the chain and connect it through the jump ring.
5. Once it’s in the right place, take your pliers/scissors and close the jump ring.

6. So if you decided to use glitter, this is an easier way. Take your flash card and fold it in half.
7. Put some glitter in the centre (where the fold is).
8. Now tap the glitter into the bottle from the start of the fold.

9. Why I didn’t take a picture of how I got this I will never know, but I shall tell you haha. I basically glued letter beads together, vertically. But I did mine slanted as I didn’t want them to be dead straight – booooring. Then I used a normal bead to glue it to the corkscrew, so the word is fully shown. I used a generous amount of glue.
10. Finally, once you’ve finished filling your bottle, put a strong adhesive around the whole bottom side of the corkscrew. Stick it in, and voilà! You’re finished!

Well as I mentioned Oreos before, I’ll let you know it was for a good reason. Look at these American bad boys we got. Now they are truly the bomb diggidy. They are just ahhhhhh soo nice, you need these in your life ♥_♥.

Well dudes, that is all I have for you today. Okay ,now now, stop the crying, it’s okay *LOL i joke*. There shall be more ahead. Hope I have inspired you to get creating. These are so cute, I love them. Another good thing that is amazing about this is that there is no wrong or right way. Anything looks good in this! Just go crazy. Love you all earthlings.

Live Long and Prosper Dudes ♥
