DIY Meme-Print Tee ("like a Boss" Version)


Hello there <3
Time for a new fashion DIY since I've mention this in my first introduction... ^^ 
This post deals about how I made this funny and cool tee with this meme print.
I thought it would be a cooler and  nicer way to wear a usual basic shirt.
In this tutorial I only design the front of the tee but not the back but of course it's just left by you whether you also want to draw something on the back.
I show you the version with the "Boss-Meme" but you can also use any meme you want to pimp your tee with...

So I just show you how I do my tee but it's actually the same with all prints. :3


What you need :  - basic shirt (any color you like. I'm using white)
                           - Some fabric maker (depends on the color of your tee. I'm using black)
                           - Pencils
                           - White paper
                           - Tape
                           - Cardboard


Let's start !!!!
1. Choose a a nice meme you want to have on your tee and start drawing a template on a (big enough) piece of paper. You can also search for the right template in the internet and print it directly out... 

2. Take a few pieces of tape and stick your template on a cardboard.

3. Then but the cardboard with the template inside your tee and make sure to have any folds over the print so that you can see a lightly shimmer of you template under the fabric.

3. Now draw with a pencil the template on your tee. This step will make it for you much easier to draw the meme with the actual fabric maker. ^^

4. In the last step you only re-draw with your fabric maker the template on your tee again.... and that's it !!!

Oh and don't forget to iron it 'cause this will make the print last longer :3




What do you think about this print..? Do you think of doing it on your own now...?
I hope I've gave you guys some inspirations <3
Thanks for reading my DIY. I hope you like it.

Twisted-Rope-Updo Tutorial

Hello there!
In my last post I've showed you how to do a twisted rope Braid. And today I want to share with you a tutorial which based on this braid.
I wear this updo on a festival from my little sister and got a lot of compliments for this updo, because it looks a bit difficult to do BUT IT ISN'T !!! (:   


This hairstyle of Amanda Seyfried, which she wore on an awards night, inspired me to do this updo.
The Updo I want to show you, does not look exactly like Amanda's Updo but it's quiet close to her's ^^



So if you're interested in how to do this updo the keep on reading !!! n_n

What you need:
-Hairbrush
- Hairspray/foam
- some elastics
- some bobby pins


1. Brush your hair and make sure that there any             knots. Then put a little bit of hair foam on your         hair to make them easier for you to grab. After         all preparations are done part your hair to a               middle parting (I hope you now what I mean             :s).Now braid both side of your hair to a                   twisted rope braid.(To see how to do the                 "Twisted-Rope-Braid"  click [here]

2. Knot the two braids together and let the endings               hanging out.
   
  

   In the next step you've got two opinions how to               continue with this updo ( I'll show both) ^^
3.1 (Choice A)
      Take some bobby pins and secure the endings         of the two braids behind the actual "braid" and         hide them so that you can't see any hair tips or           the elastics after that.
      
      The final result of this choice is seen in the 
      last two pictures. :3

 3.2 (Choice B)
       Take the two endings and cross them over.
       Secure the endings with a few bobby pins on the side of your head,          were you cross the endings over....

       
       ...Unfortunately I forgot to take a final picture of choice B.
          But when I have to describe it the Updo looks like a little 
          swirl. You may see a bit of it in the second picture of choice B :s 






    
FINAL RESULT:
As already mention this is the result of choice A 
So after all work it should look like this. ^~^












Side view ---------------------------->











....Well this was my tutorial for the "Twisted-Rope-Updo". I think this Updo looks very elegant and chic but you can also wear it on festivals or garden parties.This hairstyle is also good for the hot summer months 'cause you have no hairs in your neck which is really refreshing..hehe...

Thanks for reading my tutorial I hope you enjoyed it and maybe looking forward to my next post !!! <3

Fancy Twist Rope Braid Tutorial ^~^

Hello everyone ! <3
It's been quiet a long time since I posted something and I'm very sorry for it. Furthermore I'm also just at the very beginning of my existence of beeing a "Braid-Blogger" but...well...I was on vacation and was a bit (too) busy with some kind of stuffs :3 but nevermind I've already prepared the following tutorial but because of my clumsiness I always forgot to post it..hehe.. but FINALLY here it comes  ^^ enjoy <3



So this tutorial is about (what a wonder XDD) how to do this very elegant, fancy and unique twist rope braid.
It's very easy 'cause you only have to handle with 2 strands and it's always a more creative alternative to an usually high ponytail, and moreover lots of beautiful and supposed to be complicated updos are based on this braid.

Let's start ^-^

What you need:
-Hairbrush
-2x Elastics
- eventually hairspray and bobbypins


1. Brush your hair and tie all of your hair to
   an high ponytail up.

 2. Divide the ponytail into 2 equal strands and grab      them.











3. Now take the strands and twist each of them in         the clockwise (right) direction.
 4. As you had twist the two strands                             CLOCKWISE, you now have to twist the               strands in the COUNTERCLOCKWISE 
    direction (left) together 'till you reach the end of         the braid and secure it with an elastic.



 And then you're done! :3 The finished braid should look like this! 


Final advises: - make sure to twist the strands very tight (together) so that you get a clear "rope-Braid"
                     - If you have any flyaway hair ( like me in the pictures) you can hide them by using bobby pins                        to secure them on your head.
                     - To make the braid last very long you can prepare your hair with some hair foam first before                         braiding or spray some Hairspray on it as a finish.
                     - I wouldn't recommend this braid for girls with very gradually hairs 'cause you will get lots of                          little hang out tips out of your braid, which doesn't look very nice.. :s  


So yeah.... this was my second hair tutorial (YAAY) I hope you enjoyed it and maybe looking forward to my next posts!!! (/^o^)/

Snake-Braid Tutorial <3

Hello there!
Today I would like to show how to pimp a regular three strands braid into a cute and unique 
( I don't know the original name) Snake-Braid...
It's pretty easy and fast and it's good for everyone how like to do braids but aren't patient enough. ^-^

So if you're interested in this tutorial keep reading!!! (/^-^)/   

what you need are:
- a hair brush
- a hairband
- some bobby pins (to secure your braid later)

1. 
   First brush your hair to make sure that there are any knots.
   then grab some hair from the top of your head and divided
   into three equal sections. Then you wanna go ahead and do 
   a regular three strands braid. Make sure to make your braid 
   very tight so that you won't get many fly away hairs at the
   end. Braid your hair until you reach the end
   (leave ca. 5 cm  of the your braid open) .  ^^


 2.
    Then to transform the braid into a snake-braid divided the
    end of your braid into three strands.
    I 've give them the numbers 1. left strand, 2. middle strand
    and 3. right strand to explain it to you easier. <3 
3.
   In this part you hold the 2. strand  (middle) into one hand and
   grab the other strands (1. and 2.) into the other hand and push
   them to one side. 
4.
    Now came the funny part. you take the 1. and 2.
   strand, which you have into on hand and slide them 
   up, while holding the middle strand down.
   When you push the strand all the way up then you should
   have this weird hair muddle like in the picture. 
5.
   Then you wanna pull this muddle down and spread them apart.
   At this  point you're closely done with this braid.
   When you are satisfied with your work take a elastic band and
   tie the braid in place.













 This is just a idea how to wear this braid :
 So take your braid and secure it with some
 bobby pins on the back of your head.
 It looks cute and romantically and is very fast
 and easy to do.
 I myself do this braid often and get lots of
 compliments on it even it's just a unspectacular
 three strand braid. ^-^  







  =) this was my first hair tutorial on blogger... I hope you had enjoy reading it and maybe look
     forward to my next post... =)

Hello :3
My first post will be about a cute and really easy DIY for shoes... <3
But first, I would like to tell you a little story about how I get this idea. ^^
Last week, I went downtown with my friends . While we went to the city my friends were talking about which shoes they would like to buy this summer ^^ I also wanted to join their conversation but I couldn't. :( Because for new shoes you need money but I didn't have money  at this moment because I already slaughtered my piggy bank last month for new make-up ;A;
So while we were shopping I thought of a cheaper possibility to have cute and unique shoes...and then I got it !!!
How about designing your own shoes..? It's absolutely unique and cute to walk with selfmade shoes *-* 

It's so easy to do and you will get a lot of compliments from others, for sure!!!

The only things you will need are:
- A pair of equal  flats, sneakers, espandrilles.... (whatever you like ^-^)
-  some coloured fabric pens I would recommend this one: 

You can draw whatever you would like on your shoes... :)

 So here are a few examples,  how I did some of my shoes. XDD


                                          I shaped my flats with some coloured random things like cats, clouds or                                                                                                                
                                          teardrops...


                                       In this picture I shaped my espadrilles with a modern ornaments.
                                      I started with some waves and continued with drawing circles and loops... :D


I shaped my sneakers with a cool panda-gang, whose had paint my sneakers with lots of 
color stains.    ^-^

Designing your shoes is a lot of fun but be careful of random prints alway keep a general print so that you can see this two shoes are a pair... ^-^
Have fun!!! <3 (/^-^)/

This was my first post. I hope you had fun reading this and maybe like to read my following posts :3
