Day of the Dead Part 1

So I know I said I would  talk about my Day of the Dead altar but I actually haven't been able to finish it because I haven't been able to do the sugar skulls until today but I'll post some pictures of what I have so far.It's really tiny because I don't have that much space around my house to make a bigger one. Its my mini version of one.

This is what I have so far its missing some things but hopefully I will finish it by Day of the Dead, November 2nd.

Here's how it looks lit up.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It's the last day of October and the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year I wanted to do something for the cause. My mom and I entered and Artful Bra Contest. It's pretty much an event where they auction off decorated bras to raise money for breast cancer and people vote on the bra they loved the most. We started working on it a day before the event, it was a last minute decision. I think it turned out pretty good for so little time.

I used to collect can tabs so we decided to use that to decorate the bra. We painted them with nail polish one by one it was a really long process.

We used sequins and ribbon to give it that extra girly touch.

I was pleased with the final product. The bra ended up being auctioned for $125. It was only $25 short from the highest bid on another bra. In the end I was glad I got to contribute even a little to the cause.

Candle Decorations

So for my Day of the Dead altar I needed candles, I wanted to use something that wasn't going to make the rest of my altar catch on fire. Luckily I found an alternative, I got LED flameless tealight candles at Dollar Tree which were perfect because now I could put them wherever I wanted without worrying.

Another thing I wanted to get were candle holders but not anything I wouldn't use ever again so I got these small clear vases/glasses, also at dollar tree and black pebbles to put inside just to give it that extra touch.

Here's the final product:

These are cheap and easy decorations for any occasion. In total I spent 6 dollars. I can easily replace the LED lights for real candles and even change the color of the beads. You guys should definitely give it a try. :)

Halloween Light Up Black Cat Ring

I love rings, I have a mini ring collection. I've noticed that for Halloween there aresome really awesome rings out there. Last year for Halloween I got a spider ring that took up most of my hand and it was very uncomfortable to wear but I really liked how the design was. Recently I came across such a cute ring in the Halloween jewelery section of Target. It was a black cat which eyes lighted up (or were suppose to), unfortunately the ones that were there had worn out batteries and I couldn't see it working. My boyfriend decided to buy it for me anyways because it was just so unique. We got a discount for it since it didn't light up. It originally was $7.99 and I got it for $5.48, definitely not the cheapest ring but very different and wearable. I don't remember the brand of it but if you guys want to buy one similar I would check your local Target, they had lots of variety of Halloween jewelery. I will try to change the battery on it and hopefully see it light up. I'll post pictures for you guys to check it out and tell me what you guys think of it.

Its been some time....

Its's been sometime since I've written anything on here but this time I think I'm here to stay :P I'm going to be doing some projects and I will post pics and steps on how to do some. The one that is coming soon is Day of the Dead sugar skulls and Day of the Dead altar.
