DIY: Cross T-shirt

In a couple of outfit posts back, I'm sure you will remember the DIY Cross T-shirt I was sporting? After discovering Penelope's blog, I was instantly inspired to re-create the safety in t-shirt. You should really check out her blog - she has amazing style!

Here I am sporting the said T-shirt;

On a boring lazy Sunday, I decided to get snip happy and funk up a little tee I had. I'm always buying Men's clothing to cut up and customise as most of you who have read my blog for a while will realise.

First of all, you'll need a plain black Men's round neck t-shirt.

I then simply cut the neck into a 'V' shape and cut off the sleeves to create a vest top.

Next you will need safety pins - I chose the medium sized ones. You'll probably need approximately 50 all together.

Find the center of the T-shirt after cutting, and use three safety pins to determine the top, middle and bottom of your first line of pins. This is so that your safety pin line wont be too wobbly. Once you have this, add all the other safety pins to form a line. Make sure all your safety pins are facing the same direction.

Next, clip in your side safety pins. Again, using the same method to remain as in line as you can.

Depending on how much material you put each safety pin through will determine how slanted the may fall as you wear it. I gave my pins a little space so that they can drop to their sides slightly.

And voila! There you have it;

A super-easy way to customise your t-shirts.

I hope you enjoyed this little pop of DIY, I'd love to be linked to any DIY projects you've carried out. Another couple of great DIY blogs are: Gem Fatale's Style Blog and Effie's Makeup Box.


NOTE: My poor, poor little computer has a nasty virus at the moment which has completely wiped my computer of all it's programs/documents etc. Which means I've lost all of my upcoming blog post photos, can't even use the Internet, and can barely switch it on. My computer is literally just an ornament sitting in my house with no purpose at the moment. Bad times.
So, I'm having to borrow my boyfriend's laptop as and when I can - so blog posts may be scarce until I get my computer fixed. I may just buy a laptop myself, I'm not sure yet. It's just rather annoying as you can imagine, so please bare with me. Thanks girls!

I feel lucky like a four leaf clover

Today, me and the bestie went to do a spot of shopping. I had a big splurge in Primark and practically bought all of the shop. Whoops!

Here's the ensemble I sported to do the said retail therapy;

In case you're wondering, I wore military boots on my feet and decided to go for the Rock-Chic look. I'm really pleased with how my DIY tee turned out. I'll be doing a post on how I made it very soon. I was inspired after seeing Penelope wearing hers. I urge you all to go check her out! Her blog is one I've just recently stumbled across and she very much deserves a lot of recognition - I think her blog is amazing!

How to: Tint your eyebrows at home

Despite my natural hair colour being quite a dark brown, my body hair has always been very fair. This is a blessing in one way, but for my eyebrows, it's always been a curse. My hair colour at the moment is a deep plummish colour - which doesn't go very well with my blondish eyebrows. They can actually look non-existent! I'm forever having to darken them with eyebrow tints/pencils, you name it.

In my younger years, I stupidly over plucked them into oblivion - resulting with some very poor excuses for eyebrows. My poor little brows never fully recovered and now they really struggle to grow back fully.

With this all in mind, I was wondering how all you girls take care of your eyebrows?

Salon tinting can prove quite expensive when you're having to make regular trips. So, in this post I'm going to explain how I tiny my own eyebrows at home. If you have never tried this, it could be a great idea for you. I've used the Dylash kits before as I just don't feel they work as well as the products I'm currently using.

OK, so what you'll need is:

* Eyelash dye activating solution

* Eyelash Dye (I use 'brown')

* A very thin brush

* A small glass

Step 1:
Pour two drops of Eyelash Activating Solution into your small glass.

Step 2:
Then, add roughly a 2cm length of Eyelash Dye to your solution. This will make the perfect consistency for applying.

Step 3:
Using your brush, mix together the Dye and the Solution.

Step 4:
Using your brush, dip the end into the dye mixture and carefully apply to your eyebrow area. Making sure than you coat all of the hairs. Be very careful with a steady hand and try not to get any on your skin surrounding your eyebrows as this will stain. If you make any mistakes, wipe away with a cotton bud before the dye dries. I usually apply a thick coat to my eyebrows to make sure that I've covered each and every strand of hair.

Step 5:
Leave on for roughly 10minutes until the dye has dried.

Step 6:
Using a cotton pad soaked in eye make-up remover (or a baby wipe - whatever you choose), gently wipe away the remaining dye until your eyebrows are completely clean.

And voila! Home tinted eyebrows!

I hope this post has been helpful for any of you ladies who are wanting to give home tinting a try!
