How To Do Messy Curled Buns – Hairstyle Tutorial
Today’s hairstyle is one of my favorites: a messy curly bun 😀
This style works really well with super cute outfits and is surprisingly easy to do.
Here is the video version:
Start with brushed hair.
|
Curl your hair, the more you curl the puffier the buns will be. The method of curling doesn’t make a difference but I prefer to use a straightener.
Through the magic of the internet mine magically curled itself! WIN! I wish the internet did my hair every morning >_>
Now pull your hair up into pigtails just above your ear.
Mess up the curls so they get super puffy. You can also hairspray at this point to give it extra hold!
Now grab the top half of the pony tail.
And scrunch it upwards in your fist.
Hold it up above the band at your scalp and pin in place.
Once it’s pinned it should look something like this. The style is messy and unpredictable so it will probably look different every time you do it!
Now grab the left over hair. Scrunch it up to sit under the band.
Pin that in place too!
And from the side:
Don’t forget to do the other side too!
Give the whole style a blast of hairspray.
And that’s it! Much simpler than it looks!
This style looks great with bows or alice bands. It’s a fun style and good in hot weather!
Hope you have a good weekend! |

How To Do A Big Puffy Bun Bear Ear Hairstyle… Thing
This week’s video is a tutorial on how to do some puffy bear/Minni Mouse/whatever you want to call it ears ^_^
The new video set up is quite fun to film in but the natural light coming through the back can make lighting very frustrating. It changes as the sun reflects off different buildings making even white balancing annoying. I love it so much but because of that I don’t think I’ll be able to film there often >_< Now I need to work out where I can film that’s not going to be effected by the stupid windows. Who knew having natural light would be a bad thing in this situation! (I can hear James saying “I told you so!”)
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
How To Make A Leather Cuff From A Belt
Craaaft time! YAY~
Today is something really simple, a braided leather cuff made from a belt!
|
This style of braided belts used to be super popular but these days they are more often found in thrift stores. That means you can easily pick one up for a few dollars and make a whole heap of different things from it!
The first thing I made with mine was a thick cuff. It’s really simple, just cut a section of the belt which is long enough to go around your wrist plus a few extra centimeters to fold over in the hem. This belt is not held together other than at the ends so before I cut, I put down a line of hot glue at each end to prevent it from unraveling straight away.
Once it’s cut, add another line of glue and fold the ends over. You will need a clasp so you can actually wear it so you can either stitch it in place or you can glue it on too.
And that’s it!
I used a claw hook and some rings for the attachment but you can use pretty much anything.
An easy craft for a super hot day! Considering it only used a small amount of the belt there is heaps left over for other projects. Now I’m thinking of threading it through some more chain for necklaces and bracelets. Hope the weather is better in your part of the world 😀 |
