Cross My Heart.

So I posted awhile back about buying a packet of bronze crosses at the Camberwell market and wanting to do a couple of DIY's with them.

Well, I finally got my act together a week or so ago and I ended up doing it to a sheer black shirt I picked up from a thrift store. 


Above is the said shirt, as you can see it had some weird flower embroidered on it, it looked like some sort of dark nurse top.

Anyway, with my crosses in hand and some all trusty fabric glue, I stuck to the task of covering them up!

And here are my results...




Pretty nifty hey? It went from Dark Nurse to Dark Nun! A- heh, heh. Loves it!

tassel me this.

A trend I have been noticing recently is the dangly tassel earrings. 

Images taken from google, contact me if you want credit.

I had seen them here and there, but it wasn't until I walked past vintage store Shag that my eyes caught on a fluorescent yellow pair in the window. They were divine.

Of course, deciding that I would mull over the idea of adopting them, the next time I passed the store they were gone.

I hadn't really given the situation another thought, that was until I was in my local spotlight today searching for sequins when I can across the tassel section. 

I don't know what it is when I'm in spotlight, I always feel very calm, which is funny because you would think I would be in a state of anxiety knowing I was going to blow all of my money on craft things, but the point is a bright pink colour amongst the tassels caught my eye.

Giving the rack a second glance, the tassel earrings in the Shag window popped into my mind, and I knew what I was going to do. 





I grabbed two sets of tassels, a black pair with gold embellishment and a bright pink pair, and two various types of earring bases. 

I decided to go with large silver domes for the pink and simple gold studs for the black.

Pretty much all I did was lace the tassel strings through the hoops of the earring and hey presto!


Two sets of very glamourous earrings. And all for under $10!

 So tempted to rock the pink ones at uni tomorrow!
