How to: friendship chevron bracelet

Hi! :-)

This post will be a picture tutorial on how to make a chevron/arrow bracelet out of embroidery floss.

Time taken:
Around 1-3 hours straight
As you can tell, the lighting in the pictures varied dramatically because I did some in the day and some in the night, sorry about that!

Tools and materials:

Note:

Steps:

LET'S BEGIN!

Note: this requires time and patience, if you forget the order of colour look at the previous pattern, pull on the strings tight to avoid holes between layers

I started with the left mirrored side, if you want to start from the right side skip these first 1-7 steps and come back after you complete the right side.

Note: remember each string requires two knots.

Right mirrored side.

Once you have done both left and right mirrored side, knot the middle.

Repeat:

Results:

Note: the bottom bracelet is the exact same method except I didn't mirror the strings (hence different colours pair with each other)

Good luck

How to: Caviar Nails

Hi :D

This is a DIY/instruction guide for Caviar Nails.

I got inspired my Michelle Phan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klVSSoB90ZE&feature=plcp)

and I thought it'd be super cute for the ball as well :D (SUPER EXCITED!)

1. You will need:

- Nail Polish

- Microbeads

- Top coat

- A tray (to catch all the microbeads)

2. Paint all your fingers apart from the finger that is going to be microbead-ed

3. Add many layers to allow the beads to adhere better. We don't want a runny coat or else the beads will just slide off.

4. Dip your finger or sprinkle the microbeads on.

Don't rush this step or else it'll be really messy!

5. Touch up!

6. Add topcoat for long lasting nails :D

Good luck!
