Pieces of my home

My mother made some deco-technique ... the clock and pot for their living room

I had some fun today and I opened up one old clock, just to see whats in it .. I used some parts of it to create my "bra-clock"

Basilic and self-made "bra-clock" at the background ...

I made also some deco-technique - a storage for my tea

DIY - shoulder pads

Now I share a link where I got idea of how to make my shoulder pads:
http://www.tonguechic.com/articles/2302-DIY-How-To-Make-Your-Own-Shoulder-Pads

SMART TIP: I used a black bra, so I did not need to cover my bra with fabric :) - so use the same color bra you want your shoulder pads to be ...

But I did not put my pads under the fabric as on the link she shows but on the blouse shoulders. And I also added a chain (it follows the metallic wire inside the bra-cup - I attached it from both ends and left the rest of the chain to hang free) and I also added strip of ruffles to the edge. I bought 50 cm of ruffles and it was just enough.

See pictures from my previous post.

I decided to do some extra trendy shoulder pads: this is the end result ... For this you need:
- item on what you want to attach these shoulder pads - I choosed a black blouse


- old bra prefferably wired, this is good for the structure of pads.
- ruffles
- chains
- needle and thread

.. I'll continue tomorrow with the process

Alohaa to RIPPED JEANS II !!!

Well here you can see the result of my bleachening
This is the Acrylic colour that I will splash on my jeans

How to bleach your jeans?

Well first of all you need:

• Bleacher
• Pair of rubber gloves
• Jeans
• Sponge or something to rub bleacher into the jeans
  
  Make jeans wet, then but wet jeans in the bath or on the shower floor. Rub bleacher in .. use sponge or brush or whatever you wish for (I used sponge and just rubbed my jeans with hands - remember to use rubber gloves). Then I left my jeans to bleach, it takes some hours - it depends how light jeans you wish. I turned my dark blue jeans into almost white so my jeans was in bleacher 2 hours. But if you want just lighter spots then I think 1 hour is enought. You have to take a look lets say every half an hour too, if you dont want tooo bleached jeans. I used half of bottle of bleacher, but there was a lot to bleach too. If you are happy with the result then wash your jeans, so there should be no bleacher in jeans. And after that wash your jeans in machine as usual.

I also did some ripping right after hand-washing my jeans. If jeans are wet then is good to do that. I used heel file.

Alohaaa to RIPPED JEANS!!

In the end of the last week I had idea to bleach and rip my jeans. So I did it, but I also want to add some colour to my jeans - I will use acrylic mint green colour to add dots and splashes to my jeans. When I'm ready, I'll do some pics and share them with u too.

Anyway I was talking about ripped jeans, because today I read TM (FashionTrendMagazine) and there was an article of trend casual 2010 - NEW GRUNGE. So vintage denims are once again gaining ground. Subtle destroyed looks and accentuated 3D-effects add character. Within a wide range of blues, there is an increased tendency towards lighter, washed and partly highlighted colour finish.

It's glad to know that everything I really love is going to be a hit! And when I am finished my jeans I will show you pics and talk about what I did!
