DIY Fluffy Bunny

Hey Beauties!

Today I'll show you a tutorial for a fluffy bunny that you can make yourself with the things that you probably already have at home. I've seen these bunnies all over Pinterest and they were just so darn cute that I had to try to make them. By no means is this my idea. I used what I found in my house, so it's not the same materials that were used in most Pinterest tutorials. I also did it a bit fluffier than they made it on Pinterest. Hope I'll inspire you for a last minute Easter DIY or just kill you with cuteness. 


For this DIY you'll need some sort of yarn, foam, pink marker or pen, black beads,cotton, thread and hot glue gun. You can use whatever colors you'd like to use or that you have at home. No need to go buy new ones. 


I started by wrapping yarn around my palm. I then knotted it in the middle. Then you take the scissors and cut it so that you get these fluffy pom poms. The pom poms will be a bit too long, so you have to cut them down in a round shape. It will make the bunny fur seem more dense. This is also the most fun part of doing this, you get to play a hairdresser. 



You repeat this process, but wrap the yarn only around two fingers. This way you'll get a smaller pom pom for the head.

When you have both of these you just glue them together with a glue gun. 

Then you take a thread and scrunch it in your hand until you get the shape that looks a bit like nose. I also cut two threads and tied them in the middle for the whiskers. I applied a bit of hot glue where I wanted my nose to be and glued on the whiskers first and then the nose. Then you can trim the whiskers so that they're not too long and that they stand up.


I also took two of black jewelry beads and glued them on to represent the eyes.


For the ears I used the foam that usually comes in packages. Especially when you get something from China, they always have this soft thin foam to protect the products. I cut out ear shapes and painted the pink part with a paint marker. You can also use permanent markers. Just something that won't go off the foam. Obviously you'll also glue these on with a hot glue gun.


The last step is to take a bit of cotton and form it into a ball and glue it on the back to represent bunny's tail. Voila, you're finished. It's easier than it sounds. 







I was so excited after I made my first one that I just had to make a few more. I'll probably gift them to my friends and relatives. Aren't they cute?



Easter quail eggs nails

Hey Beauties!

Don't know what it is, but I'm just having too much fun with Easter this year. The spirit got into me and I created a nail art that looks like Easter eggs painted in an ombre style. And then the eggs look like quail eggs, which are just so adorable and I wish I would have those at home to color, instead of the regular ones.


I started with a foam on which I drew three lines of different colored nail polishes. I used lavender violet on the top, baby blue in the middle and lime green at the ends. 


Then I just pressed the foam over the nails. I think I went in with the color two times. There are still little spots were the nail is seen through, but I don't mind that. 


At the end I used a polka dot nail polish and slapped those dots over the ombre. This really is extremely easy to do and I love the end result.




Do you like this look and would you wear it?

DIY: Easter decorations

Hey Beauties!

Yesterday I had too much energy and I directed it all in a small Easter decoration project. My mom is the one in the family, who always makes decorations for pretty much most of the seasons. Her decorations go all around the house and even some in front of the house. It's one of those things that she really likes to do. I had to step up my game and show her that the genes weren't completely lost with me, haha :).



Glitter Eggs

I found glitter eggs on Pinterest and decided that I absolutely need to do this. Who doesn't like glitter? If you would like to see where I got the idea, just click here.


So, I did the same thing as described their. I bought styrofoam eggs and put then on little skewer (I learned this word just now, haha). I used Mod Podge to apply all over the eggs and then pour on the glitter. I used silver, gold and copper glitter. After that I let it dry by sticking skewer into soil of one of the plants. After few hours I sprayed it with a hair spray to initially prevent glitters from falling off, but you know how it is with glitter. I made 5 glitter eggs and put them in a glass jar. Underneath I put a little of the paper grass. It was really simple and I really liked my room decor to be a bit more glittery, than it was until now :).




Easter arrangement


The next thing I did was a little arrangement inspired by Easter. I used little piece of a grape vine and sprayed it with one of those transparent protective sprays for wood. Before that, I also needed to smooth the surface of it with sandpaper. Then all I did was use a glue gun and started gluing on the things I found at home. 

I made a little nest out of feathers and put on small eggs. Those eggs look like a quail eggs, but are actually plastic. I found two little chickens and glued them on at the end.



At the middle I glued on this plant, which I believe is called Catkins and placed a plastic rabbit in the center. 


At the other end I made three more glitter eggs different sizes and glued them on as well. I also had a little yellow bow and glued it in front of them. I also found wooden lady bugs and placed them on the places that were left a bit more empty. 


So simple to make, but I really like how it looks. The best thing is that you can glue on whatever you like and really make it personalized to what you like.


Here I photographed just some of the decorations my mom already has around the house. I am sure there will be more, but this is what we have for now :).



Will you be making any Easter decorations this year?

Review: Yes Love colour speckled nail polish

Hey Beauties!

How about that funny nail polish? I got it a long time ago, but thought the review would be appropriate right about now, since the Easter is coming soon and this nail polish looks perfect for that time of year. 


I got this nail polish as a gift for birthday, because I was eyeing it in the store. It's actually from one of the Chinese stores that I don't even know the name of. I believe the price is around 2€ and it contains 15 ml of nail polish. The packaging has a silver top and it's see-through glass.

The brush of this nail polish is pretty much regular nail polish brush. The nail polish doesn't have a shade name, it just says Colour Speckled on the top lid of it.

The nail polish is actually minty, but looks light blue on most of the photos. It has a lot of different sizes of hexagons in it. Those are pink, violet, black and blue color. I really like the multiple sizes, because it makes the nail polish that more interesting. It applies nicely and I love that the speckles come out with every application. So there's no need for fishing them out like crazy. It's pretty sheer with one coat, bu the second one should be enough. Make two thicker coats or three sheer coats to get the full color on the nails. 


Here you can see how it looks like with one coat, two coats and lastly how it looks like on flash photography. 




Anyways, I just wanted to share this random cute find. So, when you see a Chinese store make sure to check out some of their nail polishes ;). These speckled polishes are pretty popular in this Easter time, so here's one cheaper alternative for those who might me looking for it.
