Earring Design E2013-01


I saw this design from a friend's earring and tried copying it. I prefer my beads faux pearls to exude simplicity and elegance though minimalist in size and it works its magic in my wardrobe. 

Materials: Pliers and cutters, fish hook earring wires, head pins, beads.

Procedures: Start from second row. Place beads on six head pins. Using round tip pliers, make circle on one end of the head pin. Place the second head pin and repeat procedure on the third head pin. Place earring body to fish hook wire. Make the other pair. Place in earring holder and pack in clear ziplock bag.

Old Party Shirt Turns Sexy Swimsuit Cover Ups


I used this white see-through shirt when partying before but of course time came and I no 
longer want it for that purpose.
Since I am also a beach-goer, I decided to turn it to swimsuit cover-up rather than disposing it 
completely. I like the fabric so much because it's soft and comfortable and when wet, it hugs my 
body shape, giving a sexy silhouette.
To create your own cover-up, find old shirt with soft, light fabric and if you can find a 
see-through one, much better.
I cut the sleeves of my shirt, then I also cut the neck area. If the fabric stays together you no longer need to 
sew them. This is originally a round, high neck shirt so I cut the front part of the shirt deeper giving it a V shape til' it reach somewhere in the middle of my bust area. Reason is I still loved wearing necklace even when I am swimming and I won't sacrifice that piece of fashion statement and so this DIY cover-up allows me to show my summer necklace.
I used the fabric I cut a little later, gathered the fabric on one shoulder area and sew it. The finish item is at the middle of the photo. Since its made of light fabric, this cover-up dries fast when I get out of
the water and I could walk on the beach without calling much attention.
Save some bucks for this project so buy pasalubong instead.
