River Island Eyelashes Knock Offs

So I saw these eyelashes in River Island and thought they were fab!

Until I checked the price tag. €14 for eyelashes? I dont know about normal people but my lashes usually last half the night and end up being peeled off and either thrown on the dance floor or stuck to my past out mate.

So here is how to make your own. Mine cost me €1.50

You will need: Eyelashes (mine are from Pennys), glue, glitter stars (I found these in Dealz in a glitter set, Im sure they have them in craft shops and other €stores) and a tweezers depending on your level of patience.

1. Initially I tried to attatch each star individually with the tweezers, I lost my patience and gave up.

So the real steps:

1. cover the lashes in glue, do not put glue up near the line of where the lashes stick to your lid (like I did, because of this the lashes wouldnt stick and I had to remove stars from the rim)

2. Scatter the stars on a surface and mop them up using the eyelashs. 

3. Leave to dry.

Here is the end result.

These lashes have stars too close to the lid. I had to remove stars from the lid so that the lashes would stick.

They worked really well once I fixed them and were so flamboyant!

And best of all cost €1.50 to make.

A/W 2012 Trend 2: Collars

You will need: An old ugly shirt (sorry Mom), scissors, pliers, a button and studs. I got these studs from an old belt. You can buy them only or take them off an old piece of clothing. They are very difficult to find at good value in Irish shops.

 It's very simple, stick the studs in the collar and close using a pliers.

I didn't like the generic white plastic button that comes with most shirts so I rummaged in my collection for a nicer one.

 Make sure the button fits through the hole... Of coarse I didn't and had to start again.

Here'e the end result! How pretty!

Autumnal Trend 1: DIY Glitter Heels

Glitter heels are a fall staple this year, seen on the catwalk and high street, there's no escaping it!

Personally I'm thrilled. I love sparkly things, especially coming up to Christmas!

So here is how to make your own sparkle heels if you don't fancy fishing out for Miu Miu's.

You will need:

Heels, glue (I used fabric glue as my heels have a suede finish) and glitter.

Mix together your glue and glitter to make a paste.

Then brush it on your heels with a paint brush. try and make it as even as possible. Thin layers are recommended as if it clumps together too much it looks messy.

Don't worry, the glue dries clear!

Allow the heel to dry before applying your second layer.

You will need about 3 layers all together.

Voila! It dries clear! YAY!
Tidy up the edges with the edge of a knife or something thatl scrape away the stray glue and glitter.
In hind sight I should have used tape to mark it off.
OH WELL.

Lego Jewlery DIY

Here are some earrings and a bracelet I made from lego pieces. I have rings to make too but I ran out of super glue. Basically super glue a 2x2 piece to a ring base. 

You will need: Lego piece. Use cheap ones from a euro store. These have thinner plastic. You will not be able to pierce through real lego pieces. Alighter, A large needle or safety pin, pliers, earring hooks and jump rings.

By being super careful and not suing me, use the lighter to heat the needle. when needle is hot enough pierce a hole in your lego piece near the edge.

Using your pliers, open an earring hook, thread it through the hole and close the catch.

For the bracelet, thread jump rigs through and link them up. At the end add a clasp.
