Hey :)
So I’m gonna post a DIY on how to make your own notebooks! I love making them (see my previous blogpost about things that make me happy :)) and I wanted to share it with you.

What you need:
- magazines
- a scissor
- a needle and some thread
- paper

How to:
1. You start of by cutting a nice page from a magazine and fold it in half. (You can also fold the half in half, if you know what I mean. It depends on the size you like :)) This is gonna be the cover of your notebook.
2. Now you’ll have to fold some pages the same way you folded your cover. Make sure the pages “fit” in the cover.
3. The last thing you have to do is sewing the cover to the pages. You can cover the stitches up with washi tape, if you want to.
It’s so simple, and they turn out so cute. I hope I inspired you with this idea :)

Hey!
I bet you all know Elsie and Emma, from www.abeautifulmess.com. Well, they’ve improved their shop, and I wanted to tell you something about it, because there are huge improvements!

1. Happy Mail
So they’ve released “happy mail” and it sounds awesome! If you subscribe to happy mail, which costs $15 a month, you can expect to receive a box full of stationary goodies (you can think of cards, stickers etc.) worth of $50 each month! Amazing, right?
click here for more information: www.shop.abeautifulmess.com/happy-mail

2. Messy box
This monthly subscription box isn’t there yet, but it’s coming soon, and sounds even better than “happy mail”, to my opinion! This is what Elsie and Emma tell us about it: “We’re excited to have put together a monthly box of goodies you can craft with. The Messy Box is meant to inspire you to learn new techniques, explore your artsy side and make beautiful, imperfect photo books. Each month is designed around a technique or certain artistic focus so you can take your photos out of your phone and into books in your own style.”
Sounds cool, right? :) I don’t know what this box will cost yet, because it’s only coming soon, but I hope it will be affordable, cause I’d love to subscribe!

There are many more new things to their shop, but to my opinion, these two are the most exciting improvements!

So today I wanted to do a post about how I displayed my polaroids :)
I’ve seen this idea (a “garland of polaroids”) a dozen times, but I decided to do it just a tiny bit different; instead of using a clothespin to secure the pictures to the thread, I used washi tape.
I think more people have washi tape on hand, I mean, I don’t have clothespins, and I also think that the washi tape is a nice detail to give it some more color.

I just wanted to share this with you guys :) I hope you like the idea of adding washi tape!

hi guys :)
So maybe you’ve seen my post about watercoloring a few weeks ago, maybe you haven”t. The thing is, I’m kind of obsessed with watercolors, so yeah, here’s another post about them..
The cool thing about watercoloring is that it doesn’t get boring. You can do so many things with watercolors. Like splatter them all over your paper and feel like a happy little kid. Like giving your drawing just that little extra color. Like “painting” some random shapes with it and make something out of it.
It’s the perfect thing to do when you’re bored, or feel creative, but don’t know what to draw/paint/whatever.

The biggest picture above is a picture of my own watercolor set, the pictures beneath are sets I’d love to have (I found the pictures on Google, Amazon and eBay.

The two on the left are from the same set: the Fifi Lapin watercolor set. Doesn’t it look cute? It’s from Juicy Couture, and they don’t sell it anymore, but you can find one at eBay or Amazon, if you’re interested :) By the way; I love those colors! They’re like all the basic colors, but then just a little bit different, which makes them super cute!
The price of this set depends on where you buy it.

The picture on the right doesn’t look cute at all, but it does look like it’s from great quality, doesn’t it? So that’s why I’m really interested in that one too :)
This one costs about 19$.

hey :)
Luckily, the problem with my tumblr is fixed, so I’m able to post again! Yay! :) You must’ve noticed, cause I already posted two posts after the “break”.
So today I have a small DIY for you guys. I saw this idea on weheartit.com and it’s probably also on Pinterest. I tried it out and I liked it, so I decided to share it with you.
You need a notebook (or a piece of paper), a magazine, scissors and glue.

This is what you’re going to do;
1. First, you get your scissors and magazine and you cut some triangles out of the magazine. If you want it to be precise, you should take a certain length, and make every base of the triangle like three centimeters and every corner exactly the same. I guess if you’d do that it’d be prettier, but I’m impatient and I don’t really care if it’s messy, so I didn’t.

2. After that, you paste every triangle on the paper the way they fit in each other. Because I still had space left above the triangles, I wrote the quote: “Fall in love with your life” above them. You could do that if you want :)

That’s pretty much it, I guess. I hope you like this post, and let me know if you’re going to try!

Remember I told you I bought a cute notebook at Urban Outfitters? At first I didn’t know what to use it for, because I already have a “main notebook”, but then I got an idea. I wanted to paste a photo on every page on the right, and quotes on every left page. I really liked this idea, because I thought you would have a really inspirational notebook when it was full with photos and quotes. On the photos above you can see how it looks so far. I like it and I’m really glad I bought this notebook.

Let me know if you are going to do this/something similar! :)

Hey!
I know I have to explain why I didn’t write a blogpost all week. So here’s
my very very short explanation: I had a test week, so I had to learn a lot of boring stuff like why a car is able to drive and about the cells of an animal and stuff like that. Also a lot of French words. I really hate school.
But, there is an upside! Because it’s the summer holiday (yes!!) I can buy and pimp my school stuff for next year. So, I did (see the picture above). And I wanted to give you guys some inspiration for how to pimp your school stuff for next year, that’s why I decided to write a blogpost about it :)
So, here’s how I did it:
1. I spent a long time behind my computer (well, actually it’s my parents’ computer, but yeah I don’t care) searching for the coolest pics on We Heart It.
2. I all put them into a document on Pages and then printed it.
3. Then I pasted them to my agenda and other school stuff. I used some glue and also some cute tape.

Doesn’t it look cool? I was really happy with the result :)
Hope you also like it, let me know!

By the way; I am really sorry about the bad quality of the pictures… 

This post is about what you should do when you’re bored in class :)

So, to begin with; a l w a y s bring a notebook with you wherever you go (yes, even to the dentist or whatever — then you’ll have something to do in the waiting room).
If you’re in class, you can pretend to write important things about the stuff the teachers tell you in your notebook, while you’re actually drawing a mandala or something like that (see the picture above, I made that one during history & French lessons).
Another thing to do during boring lessons (required; your notebook, a pen and a friend) is to have a silent conversation with your friend by writing the things you want to say to each other. (tip: don’t write private things, in case you get caught by the teacher..)
Last tip: imagine your perfect future, including the perfect boyfriend, home, everything.

Let me know if you like these kind of posts!

Today I printed some We Heart It photos, and used them for two pages in my favorite notebook. It turned out pretty cool, so I decided to share it with you guys :)
It’s quite simple; you just’ve to choose some cool pictures on We Heart It (or Google, whatever you prefer) and then you’ve to print them and stick ‘m into your notebook. I love notebooks — I have like thousands of them. You shouldn’t buy perfect expensive notebooks, cause you’ll probably be afraid to ruin them, which you shouldn’t be when you’re about to make a beautiful wild & free artwork ;) —
If you want to you can also draw some stars or whatever next to your awesome pictures. Just have fun! :)
By the way; which photo of my notebook do you like better?

I love those candies.
And, I love their cute packaging even more! The boxes are so cute — I decided to collect them (yeah, I’m really obsessed with those) and turn them into something useful.
So I made this small box that you could use to.. I don’t know. Whatever you want to with a box.
(In the picture the candies are in them, but that’s not something I recommend cause it’s easier to eat them straight out of their cute little boxes, but I just thought it would look cute..)
And there’s that thing I really like; you have something like secret places in the box (where you usually take the candies out) to hide your money or private messages from your friends.
I just wanted to share this with you, I hope you like it! :)
