Sooo....

I'm like never on this anymore... Oops. Lately I've been spending the majority of my time on Pinterest and Tumblr. Lol, sorry. But you can find me on there, if you want. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. Although that would be cool...........Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/abilorna/   Tumblr: http://abluntgrl.tumblr.com/            And that's it! If you do follow, thank you!!! :* Many kisses <3 -Abi

Button Push-Pins!

Quick! Easy! Super cute! These are button push pins that brighten up your walls much better than those boring old silver ones. Bonus, they cost less than, like, $4.

 I literally got everything I needed at Walmart. I already had the glue gun and

 hot glue sticks so all I needed was a set of buttons and push pins. Buttons were 

$1 push pins 3. I love them, they are so easy even I can do it!

How To- Duct Tape Bows

To start off: YAAAY! I found my camera charger and was able to complete this tutorial!!! Yaaay! I'm so happy right now, you have no idea. 

But back to the good stuff. As I have said before, duct tape is my favorite craft tool and to prove it, I will, yet again, post another duct tape tutorial, this time on bows.  These have to be the easiest duct tape craft to do, I have done so many of them that now they take 2-3 minutes each. Soooo easy. Here are the instructions:

1.) Gather your materials

You'll need duct tape 

a hair bow or a bobby pin

an X Acto Knife (optional)

scissors (optional)

(Please excuse the cut marks, this is a temporary cutting board, it's awful, I know)

2.) Cut two pieces of duct tape

They should be about 4 inches and they should both be the same size

3.) Fold them both together, sticky sides in

Uh.. ya... That's about it.

4.) Round the Edges

You can use the xacto knives here but I find it easier to use the scissors here.

5.)Pinch

Here you just want to pinch the bottom of the bow right in the middle

so the sides of the bow are even

(I know, I would be a gorgeous hand model)

6.) Fold sides over

Fold the sides over the pinched area giving it a bow shape.

7.) Cut a strip of duct tape 

This strip should be about as wide as the pinched portion.

8.) Wrap 

Wrap the strip around the pinched portion.

9.) Insert Bobby pin

Flip over the duct tape bow and slide the bobby pin into place

Note: If you want to use a hair tie instead, when you are pinching 

the bow, slide the hair bow inbetween one of the sides and 

then wrap around the strip.

Voila! You are done :) (and they also come in cute ^puppy sizes)

Light Bulb Hot Air Balloon- Cloth

I was reading over some of my old posts and noticed that I said I would give instructions 

on how to make a light bulb hot air balloon with cloth. Now I would love to go and do this but 

my camera charger is missing and yadda yadda yadda. So I thought I would

 just upload a link to all you nice folk. :)

Light Bulb- Hot Air Balloon- Cloth

WHY?!!! WHY???!!!

For about an hour today I ran around the house, I was throwing stuff everywhere, looking for my camera charger. I have a Kodak Easyshare M530, so my cord that plugs into the computer has this little attachable device that plugs into a wall outlet and lets me charge my camera that way. And guess what? Yup, I found the cord, but not the charger. Awesome. Just awesome.  That makes me feel just great.

Biggest Fashion Rip Off?

As the title says, the biggest fashion rip off is quite simply infinity scarves. On one website, the cheapest I could find was $20.  Now let us not lie to ourselves, $20 doesn't seem like much, but in all fairness, it kind of is. The US average hourly earning is about $24. Sooo... you just worked one hour to pay for one stupid (they aren't that stupid, I actually quite like infinity scarves) scarf you could make yourself. Seriously! Got an old shirt? Upcycle it into an infinity scarf with just a little bit of thread and a needle. It takes 5 minutes, tops.  Go to your local fabric store and buy a small strip of cloth you like and sew. Boom. Done. Stores, you aren't fooling me.

Oopsie...

I'm not good at committing to things.  I feel that that really didn't need to be said based off my current lack of posts buuut.... now I have an excuse. Yes, you see, my cameras charge cord (which I also use to connect to my computer to upload the pictures) has gone missing!

.

See, Mr. Bill knows what I'm talking about. (Sorry for the random photo, I just thought it was cute)

But anyways, that is my excuse, but I will try to find the cord and get back to making stuff.

Ya......

That duct tape wallet tutorial ain't comin' any time soon....... : / ya......... lol, I can not stick to anything I do. I will try to get something up soon. let me think...
