DIY: Christmas tinsel headband and choker

When I made my tinsel Christmas dress, (see my earlier post if you haven't already!) I had plenty of tinsel left, so I decided to make some pretty accessories to go with it! It's so cute, unique and very simple to create!

You will need:

♡ tinsel in colours of your choice

♡ needle and thread
♡ fabric glue
♡ old headband
♡ ribbon


For the headband, cut of your desired amount of tinsel then use fabric glue to attach it to the headband. Wait until the glue has dried and then you can wear it!

The choker is so quick to make! Just measure the ribbon around your neck to find out where you want it to go. Then hand stitch the tinsel into the middle of the ribbon and wrap it round your neck. And you're done!

Have an amazing Christmas, lots of love from,

DIY christmas tinsel dress

Tinsel looks beautiful on a Christmas tree, so I decided to challenge myself and use it to create a dress! It would be a great project for the Christmas holidays and the results are beautiful!

You will need:

♡ Tinsel in colours of your choice (I personally think pink and purple are the prettiest)
♡ Scissors and needle and thread
♡ An old dress

Simply stitch  the tinsel all the way around the bottom of the dress, attach tinsel to the waistband and anywhere else you would like to make it more festive! This would be a lovely dress to wear on Christmas day or to a party. But only if you want to be the cutest person there! And there is no need to add jewellery! Simply pair with heels, a clutch bag and a tinsel headand like the one I have made (DIY coming soon!)

Hope you enjoyed, I have plently more Christmas posts coming this week!

Get the look: Melanie Martinez

Not only does Melanie Martinez make amazing music (I'm obsessed with her song carousel.) She also has an adorable girly style that inspires me so much.

Her style is pastel and feminine and takes inspiration from her childhood, wearing children's accesories such as big bows and heart shaped purses. The main colours are pale pink, baby blue, lilac and mint green. Her fashion sense is reflected in her music, which has many childlike themes with songs like 'dollhouse' 'sippy cup.' She looks like she takes a lot of inspiration from japanese street style and vintage style.

What to wear to recreate Melanie's style:

♡ 50's style prom dresses in pastel colours
♡ large bows
♡ any kawaii, lolita and japanese items
♡ flower crowns
♡ studded collars
♡ tennis skirts
♡ lacy and fluffy socks
♡ dunagrees dresses
♡ checked and tartan skirts

Products to recreate Melanie's beauty style:

♡ pink, black and purple hair dye
♡ if you don't like commitment, hair chalk
♡ purple eyeliner
♡ black lipstick
♡ purple and blue eyebrow pencils
♡ A LOT of glitter
♡ glitter eyeshadow
♡ daring colours of lipstick such as blue

Hope you enjoyed, who's fashion sense are you loving right now? I would love to know as I always like to get inspiration! Are you getting excited for chistmas? Finally just put my tree up!

Stay cute,
