I have been DIY-ing a lot lately. I love that the things I create have a touch of me in them. I went to Khaadi the other day and was drooling over a black top that had studded cuffs. My mother is not a fan of black at all, and unfortunately there were no other colors so my mom decided we could get the top tailor-made and I can add studs my self. I absolutely loved the idea! So here's what you've to do.                
SUPPLIES:
Flat glue-on studs
Sewing pins
Iron
An extra piece of cloth


One important thing that will make this DIY a bliss is to ask your tailor sew your sleeves only half way so you can easily arrange and glue on the studs.
1. Iron the cuff, pulling at the end a bit and pin them to your craft table.
2. Arrange your studs. Mine were 6*18 which in total were 108 studs on one cuff. They shouldn't be aligned perfectly but try to go along the lines of perfection as much as possible.

























3. Iron the extra piece of cloth and place it over the arranged studs. Now iron the studs. DO NOT MOVE THE IRON. This is very important just place the iron over the studs don't sway it here and there otherwise you studs won't stay in place and you wont be able to get them aligned perfectly. Lay pressure on the studs with the iron gluing them in place. Don't forget the corners. Pay extra attention to them. Now flip the cuff over and iron the back. The unfortunate thing is they won't be permanently glued on in the first go. I think I had to repeat this process like 5-6 times and still I had a few coming off. Please pay extra attention to the ones in the outermost lines.

























Now ask your tailor(or sew it yourself) to sew the cuffs and you're good to go! These look really nice and I know I'll be doing absolutely crazy with these studs in the future.

2. I do not eat fruits and most of the vegetables. Basically I prefer to be a carnivore. Rawr!

3. I hate Mathematics with a passion. I just hate it! I have a ton of my own problems to be solved already.

4. I have a mole on my waterline. People always mistake it for some left over eyeliner. Oh and it irritates my eye AH-LOT!

5. I am like(maybe love) acting and debating. I always take part in extra curricular activities excepts for sports because I absolutely suck at it!

6. I had a boy cut till the age of 5. I hated it but I won't really mind if I get the opportunity to have it now. Oh the ease. *sigh*

7. I was an extremely active kid but as years went by I became a lazy hippo. Really really lazy.

8. I was and I am underweight. I can't eat healthy. I just can't.

9. People have one sweet tooth. Every single tooth in my mouth is a sweet tooth. Stock up on candy if you're having me over sometime!

10. I never stick to things I plan especially when it comes to studies. Na ah! I plan I'll study at 4:00 but just as the clock strikes 4:01 I'm like why not skip it on to 5:00?

11. Writing and drawing are my favorite hobbies. I always keep journals in which I write and draw. My little escape.

12. I blush a lot and it's not the  even cute type, I(my whole face, NOT only my cheeks) turn into a ripe tomato within a matter of microseconds. I blush when someone compliments me, when I am embarrassed,  when I am talking to someone I find intimidating, when I am being discussed, and the list goes on and on. And on and on and on- enough Seemal enough!

13. I can't stand people who brag. They get on my nerves especially when they are bragging about something I already have.

14. I love discovering new foods. Not that I have discovered much, but I have very curious taste buds.

15. I have always wanted to learn karate or martial arts for self-defense (Liar! You want to learn it because you want to be cool). Whoops!

16. I have a good sense of humor. I even got advised that I should take part in competitions, but I doubt that I can make anyone laugh.

17. I have three best friends and all three of them left the school I am currently attending. Life is paying me back for God knows what!

18. I want to become a graphic designer or a photographer. After being inspired by so many, I am keenly looking forward.

19. I am good at Oprah singing. It is one of my weapons to make people laugh. No, I don't sing like some old English lady, I don't.

20. I listen to Avril Lavinge and Katy Perry when doing homework/blogging because their songs help me write/type faster. They just set me on GO! mode.

21. I love cooking! Though I have badly failed at making melt-in-the-mouth pancakes, I never stop making new things. After all I'm only 15! What can you expect?

22. I don't like having guests over or being a guest. I don't like to sit with a brick-face all day long in a bunch of rambling aunties. PAH-LEASE!

23. I hate crowds; a. Noise Pollution, b. human odor. Gross. I'd rather devour a cup of coffee at home.

24. I can hear and smell things from quite a long distance. You can compare my sense of smell to a dog. Hey! I am kidding, I am definitely not referring myself to a dog. P.S. I don't like dogs.

25. I am a night person. I get hyperactive and all cheery at night and a total grumpy lady in the morning. I know you can relate.

Tadaa, I couldn't conceal the untold facts about my oh-so-good self. I guess 25 facts alone are too much to take in. Ah, I don't remember what day's today so... happy weekend?

Lately I have been a lot into jewelry making; a. because I found a new craft store that has EVERYTHING you need for jewelry making(I did start from scratch in this post though) and b. Because pinterest got me going all crafty.

SUPPLIES:
A small piece of PVC
Craft glue
Rhinestone/Faux Gems (of the same color family)
Jump-rings
Chain

STEPS:



1. Apply glue to the back of your gems.

2. Stick the gems to the piece of PVC. Remember you should NOT be able to see PVC once you have glued on all the gems. Cut off any access PVC.

3. Using pliers or scissors, open the jump-rings and loop them through the rhinestones. Remember: The rhinestones that you will be using on the edges must have holes for jump-rings. Loop the chain through jump rings and add a clasp.

4. And now you have your very own necklace. Wear it or either gift it to someone. The receiver will be more than happy to see the effort you have put into it.

I hope you enjoyed and I am extremely sorry for crappy photos. They are taken indoors.

I am a mad fan of Carnival of the Dead. This tee reminds my of it every time. The cracked hearts put into a funky skull really gives the punk girl vibe to the outfit. Paired with straight embellished jeans and a glittery belt, this outfit is perfect to rock on a sunny morning. Since I didn't want the girly factor go over board, I chose a grey silk purse to compliment the pink and silver. Finally, after throwing on some plum flats, the outfit was complete.
