More belts from me :)

This one is very simple:)

What you need:
- old jeans material
- decorative tape
- hook and loop tape

Cut out rectangles so the sum of their length matches your waistline and leave 4 cm for the sewing line.

Sew the rectangles together and make edges. Put the sides together and sew them.

Cut small pieces of hook and loop tape and sew it on the belt.

Add some decoration tape or other decorations such as flower brooch and that's it:)

This is how it look on me:P

Collar necklace

This is my version of a collar necklace made from some fabric scraps, a few buttons and a metal chain. It's very easy to make and if you're interested I will put a tutorial in the next few days:)

Make a gift box

Yesterday while I was looking for some free card making papers, I came across this great site where you can download many different kinds of gift box templates.

I printed out some of them and made a few gift boxes for incoming birthdays:) I used some of my old Christmas papers because my stock of paper is very low and I couldn't find anything appropriate :P
You can decorate these templates with stickers, glitters, bows and other stuff. Let your imagination lead the way:) I was in a hurry so I made it really simple but soon I'll play more with these great templates:)

Birthday card

Two of my dear friends are celebrating their birthday this month so I decided to make them some unique cards:)

First one is made from cardboard paper, decorative fleece tape, decoupage rose and some eyeshadow:)

The second one is decorated with scrapbook stickers, some collage paper and silver glitter glue:)

Wardrobe essentials

You probably heard like a million times these two words- wardrobe essentials.

If you watch some fashion shows on TV or surfing fashion blogs, you'll hear from almost every stylist about these pieces that are  building blocks of every style.

Wardrobe essentials are basically simple garments that can be worn with almost everything, at any time of the year.

 Having these simple garments in your wardrobe you have a great help for every style and occasion because they are incredibly flexible- you can change the whole look by adding different accessories.

I read somewhere that you can create up to 40 outfits with just 6 basic garments and a few accessories. 

So, here is the list of these wardrobe essentials.

1. CASUAL TOPS - CAMISOLES, TANK TOPS AND T-SHIRTS

Very important part of your wardrobe.
It's best if they are in neutral colors like gray, white, black,navy  and beige. But don't be afraid to buy some colors:)
They are great for layering your look, you can combine them with all kinds of vests, blouses, jackets and pullovers.

2. DRESSY TOPS- SHIRTS AND BLOUSES

Every woman should have a simple black, white or beige blouse for some dressy occasions that goes great with jeans, fancy pants or a simple skirt.

3. SWEATERS- CARDIGANS AND OTHER

My favorite item:)
These are great for adding texture to plain clothes and for layering your look. They are very cosy and can look really classy with the right kind of shirt.

4. JACKETS AND COATS

Very important for adding great finish to the outfit.
Garments that are always werable:
- black leather jacket
- denim jacket
- neutral trench coat or blazer
- neutral wool coat

5. JEANS- PANTS AND SKIRTS
It goes with everything and it is basic of casual chic style.
You should make sure that denim  pants suit your figure and you have an amazing garment that will look sexy, casual or sophisticated worn with different kinds of tops and accessories.

Fancy belt tutorial

I didn't have any suitable material so I took the first one that had been laying around:)
The material should be firm and without elastic.

First  cut the pattern and put it on the material. You need two folded pieces.

Trace the pattern and cut the fabric.

My material was really thin so I added a lining that will firm the fabric. You should cut it in the shape of pattern and iron it on the fabric from the inside (wrong side).

Sew the folding end and you can zig zag front endings.

Then sew together side endings.

Turn it to the right side and iron it.

Cut some elastics and sew it in the middle the way you like it.

Iron it again and put some decorations if you want:)
I made these two little bows a long time ago and it's time to use them:)

And these are my two fashionable belts:))
