DIY BRACELET HOLDERS

Hey guys, it's Erika! Today, I decided to do a DIY because I haven't done one in a while. So, I'm going to be showing you 4 different ways to organize your bracelets. Before I start, I just want to say thank you to Deewatch for sponsoring this post. You can go check out their website. They make really cool and unique watches and bracelets for every day and even for weddings. Again, don't forget to follow this blog if you want to see more stuff like this.

This first one is really original and is perfect if you like to recycle.You can use an old glass soda bottle or a beer bottle like the one in the middle. For the two others, I just took two little jars that I found at the dollar store (they are actually Halloween decorations).

 If you have a large corkboard, you can use it to pin all your bracelets on the board. This will make it very easy to see every item. The bigger the board the more space you have.

 This is pretty much the exact same thing as the last one but instead of a corkboard, you will need a white board or a magnetic board.

Finally, for your more precious bracelets, you can keep them in a cute little box like this one. They will stay away from any damage and the box will make them look even more fancy.

DIY playdough/stress ball + testing

Hey guys, it's Erika! Today, I'm going to show you a DIY playdough recipe and I'm also going to test it for you to see if it's actually worth it. You can also watch the video to help you with the directions and see the results.

I hope you guys enjoyed this type of blog post and maybe I can make more of these next time.

Cool Halloween hacks and DIY

Hey guys, it's Érika! Halloween is in a few days and I really wanted to make a last Halloween post. So, I'm going to show you some cool hacks and DIY for spooky decor and creepy food to make last minute.

#1 Jello worms

These are really easy real life looking worms. You will need straws, a glass, a rubber band, and a box of red jello. Pack straws together and use the rubber band to prevent them from moving then place them in the glass so the jello doesn't spill. When you're done making the jello, pour it in the straws and let them sit in the fridge until the jello is solid. After, remove the jello from the straws and then you're done.

#2 Spider prank


This is the easiest prank ever. When you put the water in the ice cube tray, just add a fake spider. Your guests are going to be surprised to see a spider in their glass.






#4 Ghost lantern


These ghosts lantern are the perfect decor pieces for your backyard. You will only need old milk containers and a sharpie. You just have to draw a face on the container and add lights inside.








#5 Lollipop stand


This lollipop stand looks really cool if you're having a party. You could always use a fake pumpkin and decorate it. First, make small holes in the pumpkin with a thumbtack and second place your lollipop in them.








#6 Eye snacks

This snack looks so good. You will need hard boiled eggs, avocados, olives and sriracha sauce. Begin by taking off the yellow from the eggs then fill the hole with the avocado. Put the olive on top and make little lines of sriracha sauce. Now you just have to eat them.


Hope you enjoyed all my Halloween and fall post. Happy Halloween !!!

DIY fall decor

Hey guys, it's Érika! Fall is finally here! So now, I'm going to start my fall series with some DIY decor. Some of these could also be for Halloween.

#1 Spooky lights

For the summer, you probably had some fairy lights around your room. Well, you can easily change them by adding fake leaves if you don't want to buy new lights or if you don't have any. You could also do like I did and replace them with some pumpkin lights or other fall/Halloween related lights.


#2 Jars

All around the house, we have jars that contain things. What I did, I replaced some containers in my room by Halloween/fall jars. Also, you can put differents Halloween candies in your jars for decorations and to eat of course.



#3 Yummy candles

Candles are one of fall's stereotypes. So, take out all of your summer decorations and some colorful object to make place for good smelling candles. Obviously, Bath and Body Works is the best place to go for candles, soap, perfume, etc. Everything in there smells like heaven. And even if you can't burn candles in your room, you can still open the lid and they will make your room smell good.

#4 Creepy quotes

For this last DIY, you just have to find Halloween and fall quotes. You can either print them, paint them on a canvas, paint it on a pumpkin, etc. Be creative and you will definitively find an original way to expose your quotes.

EASIEST WALL ART EVER!

Hey guys, it's Érika! Since I already posted this morning, I wanted to do another post that wasn't to big. So I'm going to be showing you the easiest wall art ever.

Basically, for all of these you just want to print some tumblr pngs, quotes you like or some other coloring pictures (I chose princesses). You can even add some color to them to make them pretty or to make them match the theme of your room. Here are all the ones I did.

DIY tumblr notebooks

Hey guys, it's Érika! Today, I'm going to show you 3 DIY tumblr notebooks for school. These are really easy to make and they all turned out really cute. And no one is going to have the same notebooks as you.

#1 Alien notebook

 For this first one, you're going to need a notebook, black paint or a sharpie, a sponge brush, green paint, and a small paintbrush. You want to start by doing a first coat of paint for the alien's face. Next, for the eyes and the mouth, you can either do it with the sharpie or with the paint. I did it with the sharpie. Then if needed, put another coat of your main color and add a second coat of black for the eyes and mouth. After, you're done.

 #2 Crayon notebook

For the next one, you will need a notebook, two colors of paint, a sharpie, a pencil, a small paintbrush, and a sponge brush. Start by drawing your crayon on the notebook with a pencil then color the line with the sharpie. After, paint a few coats of your main color paint and the one for your crayon making sure to trace with the sharpie every time.


#3 Stickers!!!!!!

This one is soooo easy and one of the cutest. You only need a notebook and stickers. Just let creativity inspire you with what stickers you want and what style you want. I used flowers, happy faces, planets and spaceships, and unicorns and rainbows to create this 90s inspired notebooks.


By the way, I was thinking about doing a Q&A soon so you can send your questions by email using heyguysitserika@hotmail.com.

DIY school supplies and life hacks

Hey guys it's Erika! Today, I’m going to show you some DIY supplies and life hacks for back to school.

#1 To do list

For this one, you’re going to need a frame (mine is from IKEA) and a background picture. For the background, you can print one from the internet, draw it yourself or use lined paper. Just cut it the size of the frame then put it in. The glass of the frame is going to act like a whiteboard so you can write with erasable markers on it. This DIY is perfect for keeping track off all those homework and tasks that you have to do especially if you’re not a very organized person.

#2 DIY magnets

To make these really cute magnets you’re going to need cardboard, paint (the color depends on what your magnets are going to be), a sharpie (for the details), a paintbrush, glue, and magnet strips. First, you want to start by cutting the cardboard the shape of your magnets. Then, you’re going to paint it. I decided to make an alien, a smiley face and a diamond. For the black details, I used the sharpie instead or paint. After everything has dried, cut the magnet strips and glue them on the back of your magnets. Then you’re done. You can put them in your locker for decoration. Plus you can make a ton of these.

#3 Book organizer

You know how sometimes at school you have like 3 books to read at the same time and then you can't find them because you have a bunch of book all around your room, well I have the solution for you. Just use this paper organizer to store some of your books. It's going to keep them organized and always at the same place so they are easy to take and put back.

#4 Accordion pockets folder

Accordion pocket folders are perfect for organizing all your school papers. So each time you have papers that you know you won't use anymore you can put them in the folder so you can check them back for your finals. Plus they make some with 13 different sections which is definitely enough for your school subjects. They also have some with fewer pockets.

#5 Cinnamon gum

I never tried this one because I don't like gum but apparently if you take cinnamon gum at school it's supposed to make you focus more in class. So if you're the type of person to have trouble focusing you could try this hack and tell me if it actually works. 

Thanks again guys! I hope you enjoyed and I wish you good luck for back to school.
