DIY: Braided Fabric Bracelets!

It's family day here in Canada, which means no school!

For a while now I've been wanting to do a few DIY projects, and today boredom came upon me once again so I decided to make some fabric bracelets. Now, I don't know about you but I'm so sick of everyone using the typical bracelet string and making bracelets out of it. I wanted something more bold and thick, so I cut up three old shirt that I never wore and created a few fab bracelets out of them!

It's super easy and it'll only take you around 5-10 minutes and the steps are so easy to follow.
The first bracelet I made was the triple colored one. I gathered up three tank tops I never wore (they can be any color you desire). In this case, I used teal, pink and white. After gathering your clothes, simply cut three strips (make sure they are all the same size), tie a little knot at the top, and then braid like crazy! Once you're done your braid, all you have to do is tie it to the other end of your bracelet and voila! You're done!
I basically did the same thing with the white braid, however the only difference was that rather than using three different colors, I stuck with one. Super easy and it looks cute.

ELF Cosmetics Haul


My order from E.L.F cosmetics FINALLY arrived, I recommend all the ladies check out their site. You can get such good quality items for such a bargain. Most of their products range from $1 to $5. They have free shipping for the US, unfortunately us  Canadians do have to pay for shipping though. Nonetheless, definitely check them out. I've only tried out the lipglosses and their smoky brown nail polish and I really like them! I can't wait to try out all of the other products I ordered.

Here's the full list of the items I ordered:

  • E.L.F Essential Nail Polish -Innocent
  • E.L.F Essential Nail Polish -Lilac
  • E.L.F Essential Nail Polish -Smoky Brown

PS: Like my sweater? It's kinda loose which has it's ups and downs, I really wish they had a smaller size at the time but oh well! I'm just glad it super sparkley - you will never understand how much I love sparkles. Anyway, I got it from H&M on boxing day. I really don't understand why people create such a fuss over boxing day, I didn't really find much that I liked. I can find way better items for better prices when there isn't such a huge sale going on.
