GL CRAFTS: Beadalicious

 

Always on the prowl for adorable accessories to spice up your wardrobe? Beadalicious by Sonya Nimri is the answer for you! This DIY book is stock full of cute jewelry crafts that are totally unique and fun to do. With a helpful info guide and step-by-step instructions, you’ll have the 411 on how to get the job done right. Look below for an exclusive bonus craft from the book! Just in time for Mother's Day!

 

 

Ingredients

*1 pair rubber boots (available at most hardware stores)   
*16 fabric daisy appliqués   
*Approximately sixty 3-mm yellow seed beads
*Green rickrack ribbon, 1 yard long   
*1 can pink spray paint (We used Krylon H20 paint in Rhine River Red)
*Mustard yellow craft paint
*E6000 glue   
*Fabric glue   
   
Tools

*Small paintbrush
*Scissors   
*Toothpick   
   
Directions
   
1. Spray-paint the boots following directions on the can. Be sure to put down plenty of old newspaper and to do this outside or in a well-ventilated area.   
   
2. Use fabric glue to attach 8 daisy appliqués onto each boot, making sure to cover the backs of the daisies entirely with glue.   
   
3. Place a generous dab of glue in the center of each daisy and pour seed beads into the glue, pressing them down so they sink in.   
   
4. Paint the toe and top trim of each boot with yellow paint.   
   
5. Glue the green ribbon around the top edge of each boot and along the toe line, as shown. Let dry at least overnight before wearing. (These are okay to wear in light rain, but you may risk losing a few beads if worn in a serious downpour.)

Hey! Can you think of a unique "thing" I could make my mom for mother's day? (Not collages or anything...) It was just my mom's birthday & I made a scrapbook w/ a poem for each family member. I bought her flowers, but I need something else! Thanks! ♥


Hey girl, you could try decorating a picture frame and put a picture of the two of you in it Smile lauren

Try going to a mall and looking at all the dresses in different stores.  You might want to wear blue or green to make your eyes stand out. -lauren

MOD Ok there's this boy in my 6th period class. He has kind of been giving me mixed signals about if he likes me as a friend or more. Some days he says hi like 30 million times and pokes me and is always interested in what i am doing and staring at me for at least 2 minutes. But other days he never even talks to me in any way shape or form like i don't even exist. I really can't tell if he likes me or not!!! and on top of that has a on and sometimes off girlfriend. What should i do if he does like me??


Well what you should do depends on whether or not you like him.  If you like him and he likes you then you should go for him.  If you don't like him, then don't worry about him or lead him on. -lauren

MOD There's this boy in one of my classes that i kind of like. But i don't want to hurt the feelings of the 6th period boy if i start dating him and my friends would tese me for life if i dated him. What should i do?


Try talking to your friends about why you like this guy.  Try flirting with this guy and see how things go Smile lauren
