DIY: Ombre picture frame

I love ombre. I really do. Sometimes it seems like the trend is dying out and those still rocking it are kind of tacky. The classic ombre (smooth, seamless gradient) is what I'm talking about, not the stripes in different colors. Whoever decided that that would count as ombre needs a head check.

I think ombre is a great way to add color when decorating because you can add two colors to tie into your pillows or art or couches or whatever. I have a huge tapestry of a jungle on my wall and it has a ton of green. I don't love green and don't have a lot of it around so I wanted to add something green.

The process of ombre is sort of self explanatory. Basically all you do is choose 2 spray paints and paint opaque towards the outer parts and mrs sheerly and thin towards the center.

I took the paper insert out of a picture frame and taped the back to a box. Spray painting is best done on something off the ground so I set it on an old beer box but seriously anything will work. The paper  just needs to be elevated.

 I started spraying the green on one end.

 You can see how it fade from heavy on the outside to lighter on the inside. 

I continued to add more paint until it was half covered. 

Now start from the opposite side and repeat the same process.

So now we have green fading from heavy to light on one end and blue grey fading from heavy to light from the other side.

Once you have both side completed like the photo above, there should be a blank-ish area in the center. You're going to want to go back and forth from each color and spray the green into the blue then the blue into the green.

You want to make sure that the colors are mixed in the center and don't have a rough line.

DIY ombre flower vases

WHAT?! OMG is this real? Am I actually doing a new DIY post. It has has been 1, 2, no 3 no... it has been a very long time since I have done a DIY post. Don't worry, I'll still be keeping up with my OOTD posts but I will be getting back into makeup reviews, DIYs and that sort of stuff. I MISS MAKING THINGS. In my heart and mind, there are never enough Pinterest DIYs. 

I have a bunch of these little flower vases (filled with faux flower... who can keep real ones alive?) on my table in my room. I have 2 ombre ones... I'll show you the other one soon enough. This was so so easy to make.

All I needed was a tall glass. You can use old candle jars, or jelly jars or really anything. You also need spray paint and some wind. What? wind? Yes wind. 

As you can see from the photos, I sprayed the glass upside down and closer to it then further away as I got further up. You will need to stand in a way that the wind will carry the spray paint onto the glass. For the very top portion, I stood super far away, but close enough for it to hit, and let the wind take it. 

Who knew ombre was that easy? Not me until I figured it out. 

♡Here is the finished project. Hope you love it. Thanks for reading♡

OH AND PS IF YOU'RE READING THIS STAY TUNED BECAUSE I HAVE A TON MORE DIYS COMING SOON. 

DIY: non-slip hangers

I love clothes and I have a lot that seem to fall right off the hanger. You can buy those felt hangers that are super expensive or you can use those little string loops on some shirts but those are annoying and get tangled. I have found a super easy way to make your own non-slip hangers.

You're going to need some hangers, an old shirt, and some scissors.

Here is the finished product. 

Start off by cutting the very bottom of shirt off. You should have a giant loop. I cut off about two loops for the whole hanger but it may take more or less depending on how stretchy your fabric is.

A tip i have is to try to cut the fabric with about a 1 cm thickness. Any more and it won't stretch enough and any less and you risk it ripping and ruining everything.

This next part is some serious stress relief. Grab the loop of shirt and stretch it as much as you can. As you can see from the photo, it almost triples in size.

Cut the loop so that you have a long string of fabric.
Tie the string around the hook part of the hanger and make sure it is secure.

Start wrapping the string around the hanger until you run out of string.

You want to keep the string pulled tight and keep doing this until you come to the end of the string. At this point you will tie the other string we cut to the first. Then continue wrapping until the hanger is covered.

The cloth from the old shirt will help to hold the garment in pace on the Hanger.

This is a great alternative of nice clothes on the floor of your closet of creases and wrinkles from folding them.

♡ DIY Valentine's Day heart Wreath ♡

I made this quick little wreath for Valentine's day. This is something that you can create quickly and cheaply.

You'll need table scatter hearts. I used the same one from my last Valentine's day diy. Valentine's day jars. You'll also need some kind of wire and glue.

♡ Start out by tracing a circle onto something. 

♡ Trace this onto something sturdy. I used a paper bag. You're going to be gluing around this. 

♡ Grab your hearts and lay them out around the circle. This will ensure that your wreath lies flat and looks perfect. 

♡ Doing this will also help you to create your pattern and make sure that it will fit the way you want it to. 

♡ As you can see, I alternated red to pink and overlapped them. 

♡ Once you've laid them out, begin gluing. 

♡ Glue a piece then the next one. 

♡ You will wind up with a floppy circle of hearts. They will be all connected though. 

♡ Break out the hot glue once more and grab your wire.

♡ I found it easiest to bend the wire into a perfect circle that fit around the wreath. 

♡ After that, I cut the wire into 4 parts. This makes it so much easier to glue. 

♡ Don't worry if it looks messy. The wire is on the back and it will never be seen. 

♡ Finally you can attach it to the wall. Sine the hearts have a naturally pointed gap in between, I slipped it over a nail but you could use some ribbon instead.
