A Dress in 3 Simple Steps

A Dress in 3 Simple Steps

 With this dress you only need an oversize t-shirt and within less than 30sec you have a new dress!!

Serena is using one of her big brothers old t-shirt (hence the picture on it, but she loves it!!)

Step 1 – Hop into the oversize shirt so the neck is just above your bust line

Step 2 – grab one sleeve and cross it over your body then tuck it into the neck/bust line

Step 3 – grab the other sleeve and repeat above step

DONE!!

 

This would be a great dress for hot days or the beach.

 

Beadiful Shell Window Hanger

Beadiful Shell Window Hanger 

This is one of Serenas favourite crafts!! They look so good hanging in the window for the sun to reflect the coloured beads.

With this craft you will need shells (some of ours were found but most were bought!), Strong holding glue, bead/marble caps, beads, bead spacer, fishing line, plyers and drift wood (most of the beads, spacers and beads caps I bought off eBay)

I sorted out to find the best bead/marble cap that suited the shells

I threaded a tiny bead onto the fishing wire then threaded it through the bead cap, followed by another tiny bead.

Now I fastened them together with a bead spacer

Next I glued it onto the shells leaving plenty of fishing line for threading on beads.

We waited over night for the glue to dry

The fun bit starts now!!

Serena started threading on beads

To leave a ‘gap’ between each group for beads she threaded on a bead spacer and flattened it with plyers

The next bead she used was a little one so it can’t slip over the flattened spacer

Serena kept threading on beads to a length that she wanted

Now to put it on the drift wood we threaded a spacer bead onto the fishing line then looped it back through

Then we threaded the stick through the loop and flattened the spacer bead to keep it in place

Cutting off the excess fishing line

Wow doesn’t it look good!!

Serena kept doing the above step until she was happy with the amount lengths (or got sick of threading!! Lol)

Nearly finished!!

To attach the hanger I looped the fishing line around each end of the stick twice

Now she can hang it up

I think that they look the best hanging up in a window (the photo doesn’t do it justice)

Huggies Babies !!

Huggies Babies !!

 

This is a cute gift idea for a new Mum! Very easy to make too! J

All you need are disposable newborn nappies, socks (for a newborn) and some face washers

The process is very easy - just roll up the nappies

We put a rubber band around them to keep them in place

Now fold the face washer in half and wrap it around the bottom part of the rolled nappy

Tuck in the end of the face washer at the back

Draw on a sleepy face (this one my daughter Serena drew a dummy in its mouth!!)

Place one sock onto the top of the nappy baby

Fold the sock backwards and tuck it into the folded edge so it looks like a beanie.

DONE!!

How cute!!

 

We filled up this basket with the leftover nappies then placed the sleeping Huggies Babies on top.
