1 Sweater DIYed Into: Shorts, Leg Warmers and Beret

I swear this girl’s a genie with a sewing machine

In the first minute of this video, there’s also a link to her other video (which I’ve also posted in the DIY tag) where she makes a skirt, a pair of mittens and a beanie out of a similar sweater— definitely check both out!

Easy floral and polka dot nails— no professional tools needed

oh my gosh, these are beautiful and she makes it look so easy!

i’m gonna have to try these soon

When I first heard leg warmers were coming back in style I was like “….” but then when I saw how cute they are with boots for the winter, I loved it!

Now I don’t have any leg warmers myself, but I do have a lot of old sweaters that I don’t really wear anymore or that don’t fit so when I found how you can repurpose these old sweaters into this new trend I was so pumped to try it (especially since it’s so simple!)

Basically all you have to do is cut an old sweater sleeve and wear it on the calf part of your leg

And it’s great because you avoid having all that uncomfortable bunchy feeling in you boot due to the sock! 

So here you go! I hope y’all can try this one out!

I saw these and I thought they were really cute so I wanted to pass on the instructions to you guys

By the way, send me the results if you make any of them or any other ones, because I think these are so pretty!! (sorry if that’s lame, I’ve just always really liked making bracelets)

I actually made a few friendship bracelets for me and my friends for Christmas this year (This wasn’t the whole gift but it was a small thanks for being my friends that I gave them)

There are big ships and small ships, but the best ships are friendships.

By the way, I’ve got another bracelet tutorial soon (I’ll link to it once it’s up) that’s a bit more fashionable/mature if that’s more your style so look out for it!

A cool way to wrap up a CD/DVD for a friend or to pack

Sorry, I couldn’t find the source for this one, so they’re won’t be full instructions but I posted it anyway because I figured people who are more visual might find it to be interesting!

And I’m sorry for being so lame and MIA lately! I’m hopping on this right now and I’ll try to catch up to make it up to y’all~!

How to Make an iPhone Ringtone in iTunes(and other tips in source link):

1. Open iTunes.

2. Open Preferences in the iTunes menu at the top (it may be under Edit for Windows users):

3. Select the General tab:

4. Select Import Settings:

5. Click on the dropdown list after Importing Using:

6. Select AAC Encoder (it may already be the default):

7. Select OK to go back to the Preferences, then select OK again.

8. Select Music in the left iTunes sidebar and find a song you want to make into a ringtone:

9. You’ll need to find a 40 second or less section of the song to turn into a ringtone. Note (or write down) the starting and stopping point of the section of the song. You can see the time of the song in the play window at the top of iTunes:

10. Right click on the song, and select Get Info:

11. Select the Options tab at the top:

12. Enter the start and stop time of the clip in the corresponding boxes and make sure the checkboxes are checked when you are finished:

13. Click OK in the bottom right.

14. In the iTunes menu at the top, click Advanced, then Create AAC Version from the drop-down menu:

15. You should see a second version of the song appear in iTunes, only with the shorter play time. Click to play to make sure it sounds how you’ll want the ringtone to sound.

16. We aren’t quite finished yet! Now we have to change the file format so that it will appear as a ringtone in iTunes.

17. Navigate to the folder where the new clip is stored on your computer (it will be in the same folder as the original version of the song). To find it in Windows, right-click the clip in iTunes, then choose Show in Explorer. For Mac, right-click and select Show In Finder.

18. Copy the song (press Control and C for Windows, Command and C for Mac), and paste the song in the same folder (Control and V or Command and V) so that a third version appears.

19. Now, change the file extension of the third version from .m4a to .m4r.

Troubleshooting: Don’t see the file extension? Windows 7: click the Start button,Control Panel–>Appearance and Personalization–>Folder Options–>View tab–>and uncheck Hide Extensions for known file types. For Windows XP: in the Explorer window, go to Tools –> Folder Options –> View and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. For Vista: Organize –> Folder and Search Options and uncheck Hide extension for known file types.

20. Rename the file, if you want (for example, CoolRingtone.m4r). Note: If there are symbols such as underscores or hyphens in the name, you must remove them.

21. Important: In iTunes, delete the first AAC clip you made by right-clicking on the clip and selecting delete (if you don’t do this, iTunes might not accept the new ringtone):

22. Go back to the folder with the new ringtone file (.m4r file). Drag and drop the file into iTunes. Or import it by opening iTunes, select File, and select: Windows XP/Vista: Add File to Library, Mac: Add to Library.

23. Now we need to sync the ringtone to your iPhone. Connect the iPhone to the computer.

24. Click on your iPhone in the left sidebar in iTunes:

25. Click on the Tones tab (older versions of iTunes may say Ringtones instead), check theSync tones checkbox, then check either All tones or Selected tones. If you choose Selected ringtones, make sure your new ringtone is also checked so it will sync:

26. Now click the Apply button in the bottom right (it may also say Sync. Click Sync if it does).

And that’s it. You’ve done it! The ringtone is now on the iPhone. Got to Settings on your iPhone, tap Sounds, and you can change to your new ringtone. If the ringtone doesn’t show up on the iPhone, follow the Troubleshooting steps below, else go to the Clean Up section for one important last step.

Troubleshooting

Did the ringtone not appear on your iPhone? Follow these steps.

1. Click on the Summary tab for your iPhone in iTunes:

2. See if the checkbox labeled Manually manage music and video is checked. If not, check it.

3. Click on Tones in the left sidebar (older versions of iTunes may say Ringtones instead) and find the ringtone:

4. Drag and drop the ringtone onto your iPhone in the left sidebar. The iPhone should begin synching immediately, and the ringtone will appear shortly on your iPhone:

More Troubleshooting

Problem: I don’t see Tones or Ringtones in the iTunes Sidebar.

Go into Preferences–>General, and under Show make sure the Tones checkbox is checked.

Problem: You get a scary message “All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone will be removed.”

You likely received this message because you’ve never synced your iPhone with iTunes before. Cancel the current sync. Unplug your iPhone and plug it back in again. Click on your iPhone in the left sidebar and select Sync in the bottom right corner. Now that iTunes has an image of your current iPhone to work from, continue with putting the ringtone on your iPhone.

Clean Up

You made the ringtone, but there’s one clean-up task to do. We need to fix the Start/Stop time of the original song. Otherwise, the next time you play the song, it won’t play the whole thing. In iTunes, right click the original song, select Get Info –> Options and reset the Start/Stop time by deleting the numbers and leaving the fields blank. All done!

Internet was down a little while (I’m still out of the country and we’re going to a different city tomorrow so I just wanted to post a really quick update about my status and a cute DIY for Leopard Print Shorts) 

aljskdflkj I’m running on minimal sleep and so here you go~

All you need to DO IT is:

1) A pair of denim cut-off shorts from the thrift store. You can always make your own from a pair of old jeans.

2) Dye them a mustard yellow color with fabric dye or just leave them as is.

3) Paint on leopard spots sporadically using fabric paint or markers in black and dark tan.

Hmm, in case you’re unsure how to hand-paint leopard spots, I created this How-to Draw Leopard Spots Diagram…

Use this diagram to paint leopard spots on whatever you want! A lampshade, a headband, a pair of boots, etc!
