Tis the Season for a Festive Craft!!

This holiday season me and my fantastic roommate Chelsy have been quite the crafters! By far my most favorite one we've done this semester was our ornament window decorations for Christmas! Our inspiration was from, of course, pinterest! So we decided  to go for it and this is what we came up with:



I don't know about you, but I absoutley love how it turned out! Christmas cheer was in full effect in our apartment! Here's the How To on creating this delightful display:


What You'll Need:
1-Ornaments: Buy the whatever colored ornaments you would like to display. In our window we used the more bright nontraditional colored ornaments, but chose to your liking. We bought around 40-50ornaments total, it all depends on the size of your window. 
2- Ribbon: Preferably a color that goes well with or matches your ornaments. We ended up using red and silver.
3-Tape and/or Glue dots

What to do:
First you're going to cut the ribbon at different lengths so you get the staggered effect. Then you'll tie the ribbon onto the ornaments, where you would regularly put the little metal hook things for your tree. It's slightly time consuming, but worth it! Then using the tape and glue dots, stick the ribbon to the top of the window, where the blinds cover. Bam! You have a fantastic and festive window display! For an added effect we used white Christmas lights to frame the window using push pins. 


There you go! Our wonderful window.

Back in Action!!

SO... I made this blog back at the beginning of the school year and have yet to make a single post! I know i am a slacker! So I'm going to start today and try my best to keep it up. In my first post I talked about what this blog will be about, (makeup, hair, diy's, etc) but before i jump into all of those fun posts I'm gonna update you beautiful readers about what Ive been up to lately.Well since coming back to Rexburg, life has been amazing!! I've met the most awesome, funny people and done some crazy things. Here are some pix from the last few months! Enjoy!

This is my photo wall at my apartment! I love it! I used twine and clothes pins to string up my pictures, and i love how it turned out. Less holes to put in the wall too!
