D.I.Y rings

Okay so I made these metal rings, and although I dont really feel like this need an explanation on how to make them, I thought I would show you all anyway.
All you have to do is simply twist the wire using the plyers until you get the shape you want, easy!

D.I.Y Nail Sponge.






You Will Need:

-An old pair of tweezers.
-A sponge.
-Two bobby pins.
-A pair of scissors.

The Steps:

-Cut a small triangle of sponge from an old makeup sponge of cleaning sponge.
-Place the triangle of sponge between the tweezers so that one edge points outwards and the other two are held by the tweezers.
-Take a bobby pin and use it to hold the tweezers closed (I used two for added strength.)

TIP: With this nail sponge you can also get neater results on your weaker hand by using the bobby pins to keep the sponge steady.

D.I.Y Lace Socks

Lace socks are a great item to have in your wardrobe, you can wear them with almost anything to add cuteness to the outfit. Below I'll tell you how to make your own:

You Will Need:

-One pair of socks.
-Lace.
-Celotape (or anothet simular sized circular object.)
-Fabric scissors.
-A sewing machine (or fabric glue/a needle and thread.)
-Pins.

The Steps:

-Place your sock across the largest part of your foot (from the heel to the bridge) and measure out a piece of lace the same size. 
-Place the sock on the celotape, so that the opening of the sock is held open by the celotape.
-start to pin the lace around the top of the sock, making sure that the lace is half on the sock and half off the sock.
-Begin to sew the lace onto the sock, keep the sock on the celo
tape so that the opening is stretched out, this way you'll be able to put the socks on and take them off easily.

D.I.Y Cream Blush.

Why use cream blush?


Cream blush is much easier to apply and gives you a more natural look upon application. Check out my 3 easy ways to create your own cream blush from various makeup/household items.

Method 1.

Ingredients:

-Moisturizer (or some kind or cream to substitute.)
-Lipstick in the desired colour (Blood red works best.)

Instructions:

-Apply a small amount of the lipstick and the moisturizer to the back of your hand and blend them well with your fingers.
-Pat the resulting substance onto your face, applying more layers for a more dramatic look.


Methods 2 and 3:

Methods 2 and 3 follow the same principles as method 1, except using different 'pigments'. The alternatives being eyeshadow/powder blush crushed into the moisturizer, or food coloring. 

Be warned, the colours can be very pigmented so apply cautiously. Please leave me a comment and tell me what I can do to improve :)
