String art

For my wedding I made some huge string art to include the colour scheme in an empty corner where we had our reception.

The idea is pretty old, since my father used to create some string art back in the 80´s. Sorry for not sharing those masterpieces with you :-)

Here´s what I´m planing to do next

Headache soothing temple balm

Do you know the kinda headache that crawls up your neck to your temples?
Outsch...
There is an old homespun remedy to put mint oil on your temples, but I do not particularly like this, cause it burns.

For all us sensitive girls out there I´ve got the solution:

The headache soothing temple balm!

You need:

Sheabutter

Almond oil

Mint oil

Beeswax

Containers

Melt 1Tbsp sheabutter and 1/2Tsbp beeswax. I put all the ingredients in a glas and microwaved it, less than a minute at 300Watt.
Stir 1Tbsp almond oil and a few drops mint oil in it and fill it in container, let it cool off. Done!

Here are the according labels

Peter Pan Collar - Necklace Tutorial

You now see those Peter pan collars all over, looks like we need a DIY on this one. Here we go!

You need:
Pattern here
Fabric
Necklace
Press button
Rings z.B.

I used some suede for the collar, unfortunately all the fuzz sticks to it :-(But I didn´t need to double the fabric or use any other fusing.

So, cut the fabric. Punch 2 holes in each piece as marked on the pattern. I used a hole punch, but you can cut it with scissors also. Attach the rings to the necklace - in desired length - and attach them to the collar Sew a press button on the collar, this is going to be the closure. Done!

For a more fancy look you could spice it up with pearls, rhinestone and so on.

I might knock off one with lace this weekend

Enjoy!

I´m so ready for spring to come ...
