DIY: Glam Anything Holders

Hey everyone!

I'm just here to show you a quick way to store things, anything from pens and scissors to lollipops.  Now, my favorite candy in the world is lollipops, and my boyfriend feels the need to give them to me regularly.  Overtime, I've compiled a "collection" this big:

And until now, I've had nowhere cute to store them in my room, they all just sit in that box.  But now, thanks to after Christmas sales at Michael's Craft Store, I've made these to keep some of them in to display (so I can hide the ugly box!):

It's super easy, this is all I used:


Everything is from Michaels:
Big Container: $14.99
Two Small Containers: $1.99 each
Thick White Tuel Ribbon: $.89 (on sale!)
Sparkly Silver, Pink and Purple Ribbon: $.99 each
Super Glue: Pack of 4- $3.99

The first thing I did was take the big ribbon and coiled it up inside, just to give it a little more sparkle.  Then, I super glued a small sparkly silver ribbon on to the bottom of the big container:

Then I added a sparkly pink layer above the silver, and a purple layer around the top:


Just add the lollipops (or whatever you want to put in it) and the big one is done!


Now, onto the smaller containers.  I did them similarly, to match the big one.  All I did was super glue a pink and purple ribbon to the middle of each one:


Okay, now obviously you don't have to use these for lollipops like I am, you can use them for anything from desk supplies to candles:

They're extremely inexpensive and easy, but they turn out beautifully! I hope this helped you guys!

Much Love <3

DIY: Necklace Organization

Hey everybody!
I'm here with a super quick and easy do-it-yourself idea to make your necklaces more organized.  Now, I don't use this for my super nice jewelry, but for everyday, Forever21-type necklaces it works perfectly!

What You'll Need:
Necklaces (DUH :)!)
Thumbtacks
A Cork board (OPTIONAL)


As you can probably tell, I didn't use a cork board, but if you would rather hang one up before tacking all of your necklaces to the wall go for it! You could even paint or decorate it all pretty before you hang it on your wall :) I'm home from college on a break right now so not ALL of my necklaces are there, but I think you all will get the picture.  For longer necklaces, I just put one tack and hang the longer necklace from it, but for shorter necklaces I put two in a column, and the two shorter necklace spaces take up the space of one longer space. 

See? It's as easy as that! Now, like I said, I keep my jewelry that is much nicer in a small Jewelry box, but for everyday, inexpensive necklaces, this is perfect!  I hope you all enjoyed this!

Much Love!
