DIY: T-shirt Scraps (Necklace & Headband)

I personally like the guy's t-shirts better than girls. I like the cut better plus I got big boobs so there's more room. (If I being perfectly honest) But the first thing I always, always do with a guys shirt I get is cut about inch off the bottom. I do this because the shirts are sometimes too long. 

Whenever I do that I have left over scraps of fabric. Being a guttersnipe, I don't want to waste them so I of course use it.

First up: The Necklace

Supplies:

T-shirt Scraps

beads/pearls/jewelry

scissors

1. Cut the t-shirt fabric the long ways until you get a bunch of long strips. Pull one piece aside.

 2. With the other remaining strings tie together.

3.Using the piece you put a side, tie your beads or jewels like so.

4. Make sure they are all different lengths.

 5. Lastly tie all the small hanging strands on to the larger strip. Then wrap around your neck as many times as needed. Adjust as needed.

Now: Wear & Share!

(Also... makes really cool art too)

Second: Starry Headband

This is best to use the scrap of fabric that has the hem on it or is thicker in length.

Supplies:

T-shirt Scraps

Glue Gun

mini stars (can be found at arts & crafts stores)

Tip: Cut the t-shirt scarp once so it's not one big band. This way you don't have to cover the whole surface and can tie it instead.

 1. Get the glue gun hot enough and dribble a "messy" line of glue on the head band.

2. Then sprinkle the stars over the glue. Do this quickly so the glue doesn't cool down.

Tip: Wait for the glue to cool down before you remove any loose stars or ones that did not attach.

once again my favorite step: Wear & Share!

The Interview

I had an interview today for a position as a writer for a magazine. Since it was for a magazine I wanted to look professional and youthful at the same time. A hip and responsible style. This is what I went for:

shoes - gift

jeans - (Levi's) $15.00

belt - (Salvation Army) $1.99

tank top - (old navy) $2.00

blazer - (deseret industries) $3.00

necklace - (goodwill) $1.99*

*I am really loving this necklace lately.

My tips on a prefect interview:

1. Breathe - No need to be nervous.

2. Think before you speak - Take your time. They asked you to come in for an interview to hear what you have to say, so think it out before saying it.

3. Copy your resume - It's always a good thing to have an extra copy of your resume just in case. Having it out and ready shows them how on top of things you are.

4. Listen! - When they ask you a question WAIT until they get to the end of their sentence before jumping in and answering.

5. Smile - Nothing better than someone who is positive and has an upbeat attitude.

6. "Thank You" - Remember to thank them for their time but not too much that you sound desperate or over bearing.

7. Have fun! - I mean they asked you come in for interview, you already charmed them with your resume. Now show that sparkling personality!
