DIY bow back jumper!!! Fool proof!

Here's an easy idea to jazz up any old jumper lying around the house :) 

I used this grey jumper that i bought in Primark ages ago! i think it was €14 and its so boring!

Firstly you'll never a scissors


A rotary cutter, this pizza cutter worked just fine!


A needle!


thread! Any colour any size, once it matches what your going for!


Firstly i cut this ugly flower detailing off the bottom of the jumper 


i simply followed the inner stitching on the jumper and cut the remaining material off!


With the excess material i cut it into four stripes for making the bows, they do not need to be accurate at all!


Cut four slits into the back of your jumper, sadly i cut them too wide apart :(
Use the excess strips of material and wrap around the centre of cut pieces. 
As seen below. 


When happy with the position of the bows. You need to stitch the material to the jumper and then do this with all. 
Once finished you now have yourself a bow backed jumper :)

Happy DIY days

Diy face mask!

This berry face mask is sure to get your skin nice and bright, sure if ya don't like it its good enough to eat!!

Blueberries are rich in fiber as well as vitamins A 

and C, while low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. They
 
are also a good source of antioxidants. Although acne is typically

 attributable more to hormones than to the physical condition of

 your skin, certain nutrients can counteract the hormonal

 conditions which encourage pimples. Many of the vitamins in

 blueberries may neutralize or normalize oil levels in your skin,

 making it healthier and less likely to accumulate sebum. 

Vitamin A, in particular, is used in a variety of acne-related skin

 treatments.




What you need: 
5 blue berries 
3 strawberries


Natural yogurt
Honey!



Place the blue berries and strawberries in a bowl and mash with a fork.. Make sure its smooth and crush the skin..
