1. Lined sequinned mini skirt

Sweet Verbena guides you through the process of not only sewing your own sequinned mini skirt, but lining it too! Putting a lining inside the sequinned fabric is a crucial step because it stops the stitching on the underside of the sequins from itching you too much to wear the skirt. Don’t be daunted by the fact that you’re sewing an entire piece of clothing here! It’s a surprisingly easy pattern, even for beginners.

2. No-sew sequinned camera strap

Do you want to look your best, even when you’re on location working to collect the best photographs of a new event or big concert? Then don’t let a big, thick camera strap cramp your style! We replaced our own DSLR strap with a fun sequinned one, just like this design from Sugar and Cloth. They teach you how to make your own in just a few simple steps.

3. Sequinned stripe tote

Are you a huge fan of sequinned clothing and accessories but you’re not quite feeling confident enough in your sewing abilities to make yourself an entire skirt yet? Try a smaller alterations project instead! This sequinned tote bag is the perfect place to start. It’s totally easy, but you’ll still get to practice some basic sewing skills and enjoy a stylish final product. See how it’s done on In Honor of Design.

4. Simple sequin hair bow

Maybe just a little touch of sparkle is all you need, rather than a completely sequinned skirt? Then check out this adorably simple hair bow accessory by The Glitter Guide! We love that it’s enough to glam up just about any outfit without going over the top or overwhelming the look.

5. Sequin cuff bracelet

Speaking of things that add just the perfect touch of sparkle, take a look at these neat but adorable sequinned cuffs from Martha Stewart! They’ll complement a classy outfit or fit right into a flashier look- whichever you need! Feel free to play with the width of the cuffs when you make your own.

6. Safety pin and sequin bracelet

Do you love nothing more than a chicly upcycled accessory made from household items? Then you’re probably no stranger to safety pin bracelets just like these ones by High on DIY! What sets this design apart, though? The addition of sequins, of course! Simply slide the hole in the centre onto the pin and close it up.

7. Sequin heart patches

How’s this for a modern take on a classic style? You’ve probably seen vintage sweaters with a smart, neat suede patch on each elbow and maybe you like that basic style, but you can totally glam the design up too! Miss Vicky Viola shows you how to make alternative heart shaped patches from bright pink sequins instead.

8. DIY sequin t-shirt pocket

Do you like the idea of adding a subtly sequinned detail to one of your favourite shirts, but you’re not sure the vintage elbow patch idea is the one for you? Try customizing the pocket of your t-shirt instead! We love the way this gold design from Say Yes peeks out from beneath a blazer or sweater for just a hint of casual glamour.

9. Sequinned candles

Remember when we talked about sequinned decor at the beginning of this post? Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about that concept! Stuff Steph Does has the perfect simply sequinned decor idea to start you off with until you’re ready to commit to a little more sparkle in your space. Check out how these individually placed sequins are affixed to the candle’s surface in their tutorial!

10. Sequinned decor initials

Have you always enjoyed those big, chunky letters that you often see in craft and dollar stores, but also wished there was a more fun, flashier version out there for you? Well, just in case you don’t find one, here’s a tutorial to show you how to make your own! We adore this sequinned monogram idea from Momtastic.

11. Framed sequin wall art

Do you love all things sequinned, but you’ve always gravitated a little more towards the larger disc sequins rather than the smaller classic ones? You’re not alone! Live Love DIY shows you how to harness the beauty of the chunky sequin in an awesome chevron patterned wall art design that’s perfect for framing and hanging up.

12. Skirt to pillow sequin transformation

My Sister’s Suitcase shows you step by step how to upcycle a dress skirt into a pillow in order to save some perfectly good sequinned material from going to waste in a garment that doesn’t fit you anymore. Follow their instructions and enjoy how deceivingly simple this transformation project really is!

13. Sequinned cocktail rings

Are you getting ready to host your best friend’s glamorous bachelorette party, complete with delicious glasses of pink wine? Of course, you’ll need to keep track of who’s drink is who’s! Green Wedding Shoes suggests keeping up with the fun and fancy theme by making your own sequinned drinks rings in all different colours.

14. Sequinned napkin rings

While you’re making your sequinned cocktail rings, why not make a larger set of rings for the napkins so that your dinner table really matches? In fact, it won’t just match, it’ll actually sparkle! The technique is simple, but the effect it’ll have on your guests is huge. Check out how they’re made on A Fabulous Fete.

15. Large sequinned party garland

Did you make your large sequinned disc wall art and find that you still don’t have enough chunky sparkle in your decor to meet your tastes? Well, you can amp up that factor at little, at least at your next dinner party, by making these awesome large sequinned party garlands! Joey Ever After shows you how to string the individual sequins along a thread so they catch the light perfectly and look great.

Storage and organization

Larger pegboards can be added to a closet or to a storage nook. They’re useful for hanging bags and can accommodate open shelves.

Pegboards for display

A pegboard wall is a good way to display accessories and other types of items. Hang planters on pegs, use shelves for collections and be creative.

In the living room, for example, a pegboard wall can be an interesting way to display shelves. The wall offers a flexible design solution as the user can place the shelves in a variety of positions and combinations.

Combine looks with function. The pegboard can hold both useful items such as small tools and accessories and decorative elements such as photos or suggestive images.

Kitchen pegboards

Small pegboards can be used in a variety of ways and spaces, including the kitchen. In here, for example, such an item can hold and organize the utensils.

Pegboards and shelves make excellent combinations. In the kitchen, use the combo as a storage solution for pots and pans.

{found on apartmenttherapy}

Things like measuring cups and bottle openers would sit perfectly on a pegboard placed in the kitchen. Keep it close to the stove top so you can grab the thing you need without moving.

The pegboard is not the main attraction in this kitchen. The eye-catching elements are actually the pots and pans which, in this case, become wall decorations. It’s nice that they all match. An interesting way to combine looks with function and a great way to save space by using the empty areas on the walls.

Pegboards can also be used as baclsplashes. This is actually a pretty practical and creative idea. Why bother with fixed shelves and hooks when you can be a lot more flexible? This is just one of the many great DIY backsplash designs you can try.

Miscellaneous ideas

Turn a pegboard into a room divider. In addition to separating the areas, it will also serve as a storage wall. You can use it in the bedroom where it can double as a wardrobe.

This is a really interesting way to give a bedside table a makeover. Replace the door with a pegboard. You can put a few hooks on the inside so you can keep your earrings or other things there or you can simply use the board for the look it gives the nightstand.

Kids gather many of their perception of the world through playing. No matter how old your child is it is extremely essential to spend time on choosing the right toys or finding new activities that will boost child’s development. The big mistake parents often make when they think only of the intellectual part of development, refusing to pay attention to the creative side of the mind. Parents need to be careful not to stifle the imaginative side of kid’s brain. Innovative ideas are usually created by those whose parents nurtured creativity in their young minds. Though there are many ways to stimulate right brain development. Painting has proven to be one of the best. But not every child loves painting or he/she can get bored painting over and over again cars or princesses. Offer your kid to create something new, something unusual and do it together. Nothing unites people like joint work, and when a child learns something new with parents – there’s no limit to the joy and happiness. Everything unusual always beckons, especially for babies. It’s so interesting and fun!
If you think that you can only draw with pencils, markers or paints, you are deeply mistaken. There are numerous ways and instruments to try, by the way many of them you will find in your house. So, here are ten of the best and most unusual ways to paint and have immense fun together. (These are all certified and approved by me and my nephew as cool!)

1. Hand and Finger Painting

First of all I would advice to dress your kid in some old clothes. No matter how neat you or your precious child is, after these experiments everything will be covered in paint. By the way, it would be great if you could manage to play outside the house. This would be a fun outside activity! What you need… Paints of different colors, sheets of paper and a child with desire to create. By the way there are special paints for finger painting, but it is not necessary to buy them. The simple paint works great. Let kids have fun, they love to explore everything with their hands. It is easy to make a sun or a tree on the paper with the kid’s palm and fingers. For example: paint with your finger you develop a tree body and paint with a full hand gives you leaves. Kids use their fingers and hands better than brushes or pencils, so they will be satisfied with the result. But, don’t stick to boring shapes, let them create whatever they want.

2. Bubble Wrap Painting

For this activity you will need bubble wrap, paper and paints. You can use a brush to ink the bubble wrap and then make prints of on the paper with kids. But, there are more entertaining ways to use bubble wrap. Simply wrap your kid’s feet with it, prepare containers beforehand with paint that fit kid’s feet (for instance try using old wash tubs). Let them step into the tubs and then print and paint with their Bubble-wrapped feet! Even put on some music for them to ‘dance’ to while they are doing their painting…move over Jackson Pollock!

3. Roll Painting

Find anything small that can roll. That can be either small balls, or plastic/wooden eggs, or marbles. You will also need a paper and a round container, e.g dish or bowl. Cover the bowl with the paper and prepare the container with paints. Kid can dip a couple of marbles/balls/eggs into the colors he likes, then put them into the bowl and roll!

4. Vehicle Painting

This is the most interesting one for boys. Simply grab any vehicle toys, tell your kiddo to paint the wheels of the car with the paints he likes, using brushes or simply dipping the wheels into paints and then move the vehicle on the paper the way he likes it. This one is very easy and not that messy. Boys of any age like this kid of painting. Sure, you are both playing with your favorite car and making a beautiful art project, why not! Another variant: If you have a really old car in the family and dad is OK with decorating the clunker with a new paint job. OMG! a boy’s heaven to paint a real vehicle himself. And if you use water base paints you can wash it off and do it over and over.

5. Letter Stamping

This method can also help you to teach a toddler new letters. Use any plastic letter you have. Again show your child the way to paint – dip letters into paints and make stamps. You can extend this activity; ask the child to write some words in different colors. It’s great fun and an extremely useful way of painting – actually combines mental and creative thinking.

6. Ice Cube Painting

This type of painting requires preparation. There are two ways to make colorful ice cubes. You either can add couple of drops of food colorant to the water and then make it freeze or simply freeze liquid paints. When the cubes are almost frozen add wooden sticks into them. It is not necessary, but will be easier for kids to hold the cubes and they won’t feel cold this way. Let your child show his imagination. Children love this way of painting too, and the result looks incredibly great, the combination with water makes it look a little different.

7. Blow Painting

Another fun activity and easy to perform. Get somedrinking straws, prepare some sheets of paper (colored paper would be even better) and thin paint out with water (you need the consistency of milk). Better use watercolor paints, they look better when combining with water. Now ask your baby to drop one end of the straw into the paint, put it then on the paper. As soon as there is some paint simply blow. The paint should be thin so that it could easily move around the paper.

8. Sponge Painting

This one is also easy to do and you don’t need any additional preparation or to spend money on materials. You can make a lot of different art actually with the sponge. E.g ink the sponge in colors of rainbow and have your kid draw it with a simple move. Or you can cut out letters from the sponges and again make stamps.

9. Magic Painting

Who doesn’t love magic? Show your kid a little of magic or even better teach him how to stun his friends. You will need a candle, white piece of paper, brushes, paints and water of course. Draw something beforehand with the candle and then together with your baby paint on top of your secret drawing with watercolor paints. Your kid will be stunned to see the magic appear before his/her eyes. Then show what you did so that your child will be a part of the magic next time.

10. Water Balloon Painting

This one is the funniest yet the most messy one. It is sooo messy and sooo colorful that it can only be performed outside. Well, as summer is almost here we can manage to find the place outdoors to have immense fun. First of all you will have to prepare water balloons. You will need: some paint (it would be better to use washable paints as everything including your precious child will be covered with paints later), water bottles with a spout and of course balloons. Add some paint to the bottle, fill it with the water till the end and shake, shake, shake. Then take a balloon and stretch it as hard as you can but be careful and don’t tear it up. Your next step is to put a balloon over the spout, turn the bottle upside down and squeeze. Don’t pour too much paint as the balloons can easily pop. Now you have water balloons! I suggest two ways of painting with these beautiful water balloons. The first one will be better for the older kids. Find the wall, stick some paper on it and tell your kids to throw water balloons as hard as they can to pop it. If there is no wall you may find a tree, I guess Mother Nature won’t be angry with you). For the younger toddlers lay the big sheet of paper on the ground, give your kid a wooden stick, tell him to place couple of water balloons on the paper and pop it with the stick. Don’t forget to dress your kid in old clothes, it’s gonna be messy!

Well, there you have it! It’s not the whole list of painting activities but certainly enough to get you going as the weather gets warmer and the kids want some cool activities. Do not stick to boring brushes, use everything you have in your house – plastic bottles, kitchen utensils, glasses and other item will work good too. You can even ask them to find painting tools by themselves. Be creative and teach your kids to be creative, too. Have fun!

During the last year we all saw, ‘liked’ and followed a lot of new posts, and groups and boards on Pinterest that brought the new style trends to the forefront and of course gave us daily doses of joy and inspiration. By the way the visual discovery tools are now the way we are getting our mood and emotional fulfillment these days. Our social network account gives us a huge, robust creative freedom and in effect becomes our personal media platform, allowing us to showcase how deeply we are committed to our various interests. Nevertheless there were some talented people (applause please!) who caused the whole world to go absolutely crazy-nuts for them! They continue to gain greater notice while you are reading this article! Let’s not waste time. You now are going to be getting acquainted with the top 3 communities that are currently boosting our day-to-day societal mood and giving us our socio-cultural marching orders. The Herbeauty team is not an exception. We admit we have weak flesh and that these folks stagger us with their posts and we are constantly giving a “thumbs up”. These movements are the trendsetters in our ever-changing world and you gotta know about them. Here we go!

1. Lambersexual or Lambers

You can find them with hash tags like:
#beard
#urbanguy
#lamber
#hotbeard
#lamberssexuals

They are the ones girls say ‘Arrr’ while surfing through out on their social networks accounts. They are the bartenders at the luxurious bar spots, they’re the top managers, they’re leading IT-brain boxes, they’re designers and singers. Honestly these major stunners are everywhere. And we know you’re the one (just like us) who are among their fan club. Even if you don’t admit this fact we know it’s impossible not to fall in love with them. So please keep calm my darlings and continue to dream about the date (or…maybe already the next one) with one of those lamber-stud muffins.

Take a glance at the top signs he’s L-A-M-B-E-R-S-E-X-U-A-L:

– He’s essentially an urban woodsman or the hipster-outdoorsman hybrid;
– He has a slightly unruly and absolutely impressive beard;
– He has a lot of smart and sexy tats. All of his ink has really deep meaning and even a long story of how it came about. Just ask him and you’ll understand what we’re talking about.
– He’s dressed up like a lumberjack. His must-haves are: the expensive flannel and a pair of jeans that looks like they are at least 15 years old but sure enough he has bought it 2 hours ago at a very hipsterish showroom;
– He drinks whiskey. Ok…the traditional ‘Old Fashioned’ at the very least;
– The selfless, almost puppy like-look with a tough yet damn sexy facial expression is necessary;
– The old book with yellow pages is his essential that he’s immensely proud of. By the way he has a million book bones at his ‘Kindle’. Half of them he knows by heart;
– He doesn’t like the flannel shirt just for style. He really loves chilling outdoors;
– He is a fan of deep-house music;
– He never forgets to wear his leather boots;
– You’ll probably catch him next to his Macbook Pro;
– He’s in love with big black-cell glasses;
– Ask him to have a cup of coffee. Bet he will order the latte.;

2. Twee Girls
– Tweens?
– No, I’m Twee (the capitalizing is essential here)
– Oh, okay. Hipsters?
– NO! TWEE! It’s a new movement.

You can find them with a help of tags:
#theverytwee
#daisytwee
#thatweegirl
#thetweedles
#thetwee
#twee

Are you knowing and in trend with a new revolution? Or you’re one of the poor unfortunates whose not aware of who these mysterious ‘tweedles’ really are? The twee-ness is as much an attitude as it is a way of life. These girls have a nostalgic and whimsical air around themselves. They look like they’ve come through a time warp from the Woody Allen movies of the 70′s and 80′s and arrived in our space with a totally cool outlook. Their behavior is focused on the essential goodness, sweetness and romantic factors in life.

You’re probably the Twee Princess if:

– 80% of your dresses are stolen from your granny’s wardrobe;
– You listen to Indian music with your eyes closed;
– You sound off against sexism and homophobia;
– You are a real fan of all things vintage and retro;
– You think Audrey Hepburn is an icon of style and Women’s beauty;
– You like the Miu Miu and Markus Lupfer brands;
– You’re more than sentimental. The tissue box is always next to you to help absorb those buckets of tears;
– you’ve seen all of Wes Anderson’s movies;
– Your friends call you the ‘Super-Dreamy-Creamy-Petite-Princess’;
– You probably use your Twee fame to promote un-promotable bands;
– You go to bed before 11 P.M.;
– These words are you life’s motto and official tag line: ‘Defend the vulnerable! Be strong!’

3. Cute Guys With Dogs or Hot Dudes With Puppies

You can find them with a help of tags:
#maledogs
#cutepuppyguy
#petsboys
#petscollars
#hotdudesdogs
#menwithdogs

These dudes of note do nothing but read good books on a park bench or near the subway, and drink high end coffee; surely their big three trademarks. They usually have trendy gadgets, smile like an Olympian God and keep on faithfully leading their four-legged buddies around – those oh, so cute puppies and dogs that make us bite our lower lip and make our heart go pitter-patter!

Here is a short guide to recognizing them:
– His dog is even cuter that he is. As a rule the pet is one your dream breeds (the one we all say ‘Awwwww’ when it passes by): the Pug, the Beagle, the Labrador, the Pei;
– He doesn’t hesitate to show off his triceps holding the dog in his arms;
– His body is simply perfect;
– He is well shaven;
– He wears ripped jeans and white t-shirts;
– He has a few pairs of nice slippers;
– They’re jogging together. He and his pup of course (it will last until you join their perfect match, believe us)
– He buys the expensive accessories, fresh meals and the best beauty treatments for his pet (OMG girls, OMG);
– He likes to go for a walk and wears the same colored outfit as his four-legged friend;
– He knows all too well that he makes girls drool. But when he’s out-and-about he always stays innocent and indifferent and oh so cool

From a very early age girls are addicted to jewelry. Throughout the years our tastes, age and earnings change but our love to all these bling-bling things stays eternal. We’re pretty sure you’re highly skilled at choosing and purchasing jewelry pieces but when it comes to pairing the jewels with your look it brings a lot of difficulties, angst and questions you have no answers to. Even a small pairing imperfection can spoil your carefully selected outfit.

Have no clue how to pair you last whim-wham piece? Take a deep breath and turn off your panic mode. Here are a few simple tips to move along with choosing jewelry that will work best with your outfit and will perfectly fit the whole look.

Earrings

• The classy ear cuff is the latest bauble in the worldwide jewelry box. The pearl-studded, the delicate ones, the chain iterations and so on. They are an unbelievable jewelry masterpiece. Just find your perfect match and pair it with any kind of outfit. They are absolutely universal.
• Strike the right balance with a drop and/or heavy earrings. They work better with collarless tops and add a sexy accent to your bare neck. Get rid of the necklace. Wear the tank top or a dress with cleavage. Guys love cleavage you know!
• Choose the contrast color of the textiles in case your earrings are self-colored vice versa wear a self-colored top in case of choosing multicolored ones. For instance you could wear a black dress with white color earrings .
• If you are going to wear a gown or a top with a print make sure your earrings match the shape of the print.
• Choose clusters for a dressy occasion like a cocktail party.
• The small hoops and understated stud earrings are perfect for the conservative outfits and formal events.
• There is nothing better than casual chandliers as well as the novelty studs if you’re dressing dor for a relaxing day;
• Ensure that the earrings’ material is suited to the occasion. The wooden, plastic and resin ones for the informal events. The rhinestones for the night outs. The classic crystals for the formal dinner;

Bracelets

• Do not wear a massive one on the same wrist with your watch. Make sure its style matches your watch (e.g. do not pair a glamorous one with a casual watch). Color can be different but not a style. Pair it with a floor-length dress, blue jeans and white A-line shirt. Essential: get rid of the sleeves. You should be barehanded at least to the elbow;
• The multiple thin candy-colored pieces work better together to create a fuller look; Wear them with your late spring and summer looks. Choose self-colored textiles and feel free with the get-ups;
• The crystal and pearled bracelets are the best decision for the office-formal suit and the little black dress;
• The urban wrist accessory can work wonders with a bikini look;
• Wear the ethnic leather bracelet with the vintage dress and boots. It’s also a good match for the flower and hippie prints;
• Plastic bracelets. Just do not wear plastic bracelets;
• The bracelets made of silver or gold metal are one-size-fits-all.

Rings

• If you’re in trend with the latest ring obsession – the handscape – be sure your fingers say something gorgeous to the world. Mix the midi ones with the dazzling nail-ring borders in the right way. They should be alike in color, be the same color and metal. Wear them if you are trying to achieve the hipster or vintage style look. Feel free with wardrobe items but keep this one and only style to the last detail;
• One more fashionable trend is the ring combos. They look great with skinny jeans or black pants paired with an over-sized top. No one will ever accuse you of being boring or monotonous in this combination;
• Be elegant! If you’re going to be ‘little black dressed’ choose only one thin ring glazed with a few rhinestones or decorated with a small pearl;
• Combine the 2 self-colored metal rings of the same shape with your formal outfit;
• Never ever mix the different metal colors. It will spoil even the otherwise perfect look that you have put together;
• In case you received a proposal of marriage first of all accept our cordial congratulations. Planning your bride look please get rid of all extra rings even the most fashionable ones. There is no ring that fits a wedding dress better than the engagement ring (the Tiffany one for sure, LOL);
• The big black massive ring (say an Onyx stone for instance) is a true must-have of every girl. It can spice up both the simple casual outfit or the complicated well-thought-out look.

• Necklace
• The latest hu-u-uge trend is the statement necklace. It can really bring any outfit to the next level. The best trick is to pair it with something boring like a plain dress. Just try and you’ll see the unbelievable transformation;
• Wear the long thin ones with a deep cleavages;
• Choose the massive models to pair them with white shirts with a collar;
• Take a long chain with a funky bob and combine it with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a black top;
• Pair the formal gown with a long thin chain with a rhinestones drop;
• Put the pearl rope across your neck to add a romantic flair to the boring business dress;
• Try combining a sweatshirt with a cut-away back and the long chain with a geometric pendant. Put it on your back not on your chest as usual.

Hair Jewelry

• Choose the contrast colors. Pair bronze accessories with a black and white kit. Choose the silver pieces for the bright-colored outfits like yellow and green. Take a deep black hair-slide to make an accent to your red ‘femme fatale’ dress;
• Pair the little ‘princess’ bobby pins with a skittish candy dresses.
• Take a few self-colored wide clips to create a small curl that will add a rakish hint to your severe office dress;
• Pair the flower decorated clips with your playful bikini;
• Use the wide metal ring to fix the ponytail when you’re dressed skinny and in a stunning, romantic nude-colored jacket;
• Combine the hair-rim covered with rhinestones with the cocktail or party dress. But pair the barbed one which can be decorated with the studs with the jean-shorts and leather boots;
• Don’t mix the different shapes and forms of the clips at the same time. This trick really never works with any clothing combination and brings only heartache and frustration;

• Legs Chain
• The latest quirky trend that caused a storm in the fashion world should be worn with shorts on bare legs, over jeans or with tights. Your leg chain will rock;
• Choose the silver metals to make an accent on your perfect tan when wearing the chain with your bikini;
• This accessory works better with sneakers of all descriptions – even high heel Chuck Taylor All-Stars! It also looks good when you’re barefoot;
• Wear some foot rings so you’re doing the full complete look;
• If you want to combine it with a dress – don’t choose a tight one;
• It looks better when you pair it with a self-colored outfit. To wear the leg chain with bright printed shorts is an indication of bad fashion taste. In fact you may be arrested and fined by the fashion police, but for sure you will be snickered at by your friends;
• Try to avoid any kind of spangles or the rhinestones in case you wear it with tights. It will look vulgar.
