The one with the golden sneakers tutorial

On a recent sunday Pinterest session, I came across an awesome pair of sneakers. They were the inspiration for this tutorial. It's a pretty easy one, without lots of supplies needed. 

What you'll need:

• A pair of sneakers with plastic toes
• spraypaint
• tape
• optional, nailpolish in the same colour as your spraypaint

What you'll need to do:

Start by taping the front part of the shoes, just so that only the plastic part of the sneakers will be coloured when you start spraying them. 

Spray them, my sneakers needed three layers to cover the white up nicely.

Let them dry well, I left the tape on overnight.

And done are your coloured-toed-sneakers. For a finishing touch I added some golden nailpolish to the tips of the laces. To make them extra fancy.

The one with boozy popsicles

Last month I treated myself to popsicles molds and immediately put them to good use by making strawberry and greek yoghurt popsicles. In the comments Kerry from Love Those Hands at Home suggested to make boozy ones the next time. Sounded like a perfect plan to me! So here you have it, boozy popsicles, inspired by a cocktail I like: Amaretto sours.

What you'll need:

• half a lemon
• a big glass of cloudy applejuice
• a big tablespoon of honey
• a shotglass of Amaretto

Squeeze the juice from the lemon

 

In a bowl, mix together all of the ingredients and give a good stir

 Fill the molds, I had enough mixture for five popsicles

 Put the molds in the freezer, I let them freeze for 24 hours

Have you ever made boozy treats? Or do you have a favourite cocktail recipe that might be turned into popsicles? 

The one with the washi tape card DIY

A couple of sundays ago I wanted to make something easy, without needing lots of supplies and without making a big mess. I thought it might be fun to make some postcards.

What you'll need:

• Paper the size of a postcard, I used kraftpaper
• washi tape, in different colours
• a black fineliner
• scissors
• a ruler (this one's an old souvenir granny got me from Germany over 20 years ago)

Start by sticking washitape to your paper, don't worry if you tape the paper to your workspace. This might even work in your advantage when you start the drawing part of this DIY :-)

Make stripes above and underneath the tape, using your ruler

Make diagonal stripes, or any other pattern that floats your boat. I didn't use my ruler for this part.

Peel your card of the table and cut off the washi tape.

Make rounded edges using a roll of tape, pen, and scissors

And that's all! Have you been creating something lately? Please feel free to share a link in the comments below, I love seeing what you've been up to! More how-to's can be found over here.

The one with the eye bracelet DIY

One of the things I've been loving for I while now, is the 'Kenzo eye'. This tutorial is inspired by this super awesome print. Another thing I love, is a DIY-project that doesn't need a lot of supplies, tools, or time. For this one, the only thing I needed to get, were beads, the rest was already within reach. This bracelet doesn't take much time to make, you just need a bit of time let the nailpolish dry. 

The inspiration:

What you'll need:

• elastic cord
• blue nailpolish
• black nailpolish
• beads, I used white wooden beads, and one in a contrasting colour
• a bit of glue

Start by making a blue circle on each of the white beads, let them dry

 Make a small black circle in the middle of the blue circle

Start beading away! After the last 'eye' make a knot with the two ends. 

Secure with a drop of glue. Cover the knot up with one of the beads.
