DIY neon bracelets

another one of my friDIYs - neon bracelets. stackable bracelets are definitely a must have for this summer and i also love the neon-trend so i surfed around a little bit and found some awesome tutorials, bought some neon thread on ebay here and started braiding. what you need: some neon thread, scissors and super-glue, for variations you'll also need spikes, beads, etc... so for the basic knot you should just follow the tutorial of secretlifeofabionerd, it's really good and actually super easy!

THE SPIKE BRACELET

1) start your bracelet just like the basic one, after a few knots you'll braid the first stud in..

2) take your screwback-studs and screw them together, leaving just as much space to fit in the thread..

3) losely do another knot, put your stud in place..

4) tighten, the thread should fit exactly in the space between the spike-part and the screw-part..

5) screw the stud a little bit more until it's very tight, go on knotting, then put in the next stud, repeat until you've reached you wrist measurement..

6) finish the bracelet like the basic one!

so this is how my bracelets look like, i love them, they're easy to put on and of course, because they're custom made, fit perfectly around my wrist! so have fun knotting and don't hesitate to try some variations, there are plenty of tutorials on youtube and other sites!

and all the snow is gone.

i'm back from livigno and it was an absolutely wonderful week. i had a lot of fun snowboarding, i learned some new tricks, the weather was great and i also had the chance to watch the RIVER JUMP snowboard contest live, wich was amazing. the riders did some really cool tricks, actually really jumping over a small river in between the kickers! O: returning back i discovered that my diana mini donut made it and mine's now one of the twelve final designs, so please help me and VOTE! thank you so much! ♥ ♥ and if you want to laugh: i also got a small video for you, showing my skills in snowboarding - well at least i tried that super funny air bag they had in their snowpark, without being able to do a special trick, i just flew out of any control - watch it here.. i shot some analougue photos too, so as soon as they're developed i'll show them to you!

video-tutorial-time.

So here's another youtube channel i really love - the fashion citizen. she does a lot of DIY, like dying, shredding, studding and a lot more awesome stuff - you should really check out here channel. she also does lookbooks and hauls and her fashion and all her ideas are just super creative and inspiring. the video here's about turning a denim jacket into a studded denim vest, wich is, since i'm bidding on vintage levi's denim jackets on ebay for weeks now, one of my next DIY-projects.. depends on how the jacket, if i'd sometimes win one, will fit, if i'll do a vest or just leave it as a jacket and just make it a little bit more special.. so be excited and wish me luck that i'll win a cheap one!

thrifting hauls.

don't know why but i'm recently very into youtube videos, especially DIY, tutorials and thrifting hauls.. well, it might be that i'm just too sad that we don't have any of those stores around here so i gotta watch what cute and cheap and gorgeous stuff other people buy to feel.. - no actually i feel even worse. but i always find some really awesome people around youtube, like Rosie from JustYourNormalGirl, you can see in the video above. 
Since i'm just talking about videos right now: i'm planning on doing a video tutorial for dyed denim shorts - well, at least if i finally get to do it sometimes.. so be excited!

lovewithcautionnn.

time to introduce one of the cutest and most inspiring youtube channels ever: LoveWithCautionnn - lot's of thrifting, DIY and fashion, all made by a gorgeous redhead named selena. it always makes me a little bit sad that we don't have so many thriftstores or charity shops around here, i just love all the amazingly cheap but wonderful stuff she finds there and finally cuts and sews and studs and whatever.. so just check out her channel!

meat.

it is not often that movies or videos make me cry, but this did. the cruelty of people, treating animals just like if they wouldn't feel any pain, or if they were just things, made me so sad and angry at the same time. i can't eat meat anymore without thinking about all the blood and how the animals have to suffer for our amusement. so if you want to enjoy your steak, do not watch it, but if you care about cute little chicks and calves, watch it and stop eating them, because this is the reason why they are treated like this, you want it and you are responsible for all the pain!

awesome.

if you are ready to roll on the floor laughin, please just klick here. it's probably the most hilarious and wonderful interview i've ever seen, Craig Ferguson is simply unbelievable, and Joshua Jackson ♥ , he's so cute with his suit and the sneakers! well, i could watch it the whole day.. and really, you are going to laugh, those two guys are just the limit.
