Yesterday we tackled DIY Polka Dot wine glasses (super easy, right?). Today we will continue with an equally as easy and budget friendly gift you can make for the holidays.
We all have a handful of girlfriends we would love to gift a little something special. Here is an easy and custom gift that you can make in less than 15 mins.
SUPPLIES:
– MAKE UP CASES: I picked these up at my local Dollar Tree, but I have also seen similar at H&M or Forever 21.
– GOLD LEAF PEN
– THICKERS CHIPBOARD STICKERS IN GOLD
-CRAZY GLUE
-PAINTERS TAPE
-EMBROIDERY THREAD
– 10 mm JUMP RING IN NICKEL
– SMALL PIECE OF CARDBOARD
STEP 1: Tassels are all the rage and once you see how easy they are to make you will be adding them to everything. Simply get a small piece of cardboard that you wind with your embroidery thread. I like to mix up colors so I used 2 different colors here. Wind the threads to your desired thickness.
STEP 2: Open your jump ring with pliers and loop it through the top thread section of your cardboard.
STEP 3: Cut your threads from the opposite end of the cardboard and then knot a section in the middle of your threads.
STEP 4: Use your pliers to add your tassel to the make up bag. I added it to a loop I had on the side of the bag, but you could also add it to the zipper. You will then use the pliers to close the jump ring. More detailed images of tassel making here.
STEP 5: Now it’s time to customize. Use your painters tape to mark a level line where you would like your monogram to go. Then use crazy glue to attach the thickers stickers.
STEP 6: For the silver make up bag I added a multi-colored tassel as well and then decided to go with some lettering instead of a monogram. Again use painters tape to add a level line where you want your writing to go.
STEP 7: With your best handwriting write a little saying. Since it was a make up bag I decided to go with Finishing Touches.
STEP 8: All done!
Relax and admire your handiwork and make one for yourself too!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love this!! I want one! I hope it’s ok if I Ike this to my blog?! Let me know!
