Vintage Rolled Vintage Hairstyle Photo Tutorial
Yay for more hairstyles 😀 This one is a big rolled vintagey style. I did a video on this one quite a while ago which is at the bottom of the post along with the downloadable version!
Let’s get into it, start with brushed hair.
You will need a hair sausage or something which can be put in the middle of the roll to pad it out. I did a tutorial a while ago on how to make your own sausage so check that out over here.
Start by brushing your hair backwards leaving a small section on either side of your face.
Decide roughly where you want the end result to sit on your head.
Gently hold the hair up like this:
If you don’t have a hair sausage you can use pretty much anything in that shape. Even a couple of clean socks rolled up will do 😉
Flip the ends of the hair over the sausage like this:
Gently roll the sausage and hair towards your head.
And it should end up like this:
Fluff out the sides so it covers the sausage completely. Pin it in place using bobby pins.
Now give it a a decent helping of hair spray.
Next curl the sections of hair you left down at the front.
You can leave them down like this as a softer version of the look.
Otherwise you can just fold the hair up so it follows the same curve of the roll and pin in place. It should hide the ends of the sausage completely.
Now just style your fringe.
As a finishing touch I like to add a some flowers at the top of the roll or a string of pearls.
All done!
This is a great style for summer as it keeps the hair off your neck.

My Epic Billy Idol Day Cake
This year for Christmas/Billy Idol Day we didn’t do too much in the way of anything really. We hung out at home and took Lottie for a walk. The big thing that we did involved me spending several hours baking an extremely epic cake. I spent so long on it that I have a LOT of photos!
I present a raspberry Billy Idol Day Cake complete with Billy’s Fist as a topper 😀 😀 😀
I slaved away in the kitchen for hours to make this cake. I hand made 3 kinds of icing!!
The fist topper is made of marzipan (which I can’t actually stand but was the right colour) and the glove was shaped on and painted with food colouring. I made the roses out of my fondant, more on that later!
The little chocolate bows, hearts and jewels are from a daiso chocolate mould and covered with edible glitter. Omg I love edible glitter, whoever invented it is a genius.
Around the bottom there are little plastic hearts also from daiso, a row of raspberries that we picked at the farm and a marshmallow twirly rope.
The cake itself was raspberry flavoured and had a lot of raspberries inside it too, SO delicious!
The icing you can see around the cake is buttercream and that’s what was used to stick the layers together as well.
I’m still learning to pipe nicely but I think this is pretty good progress!
The inside was crumb coated in cream cheese icing (my favorite) and I hand made the marshmallow fondant too.
While I was baking it there was a minor mishap with the marshmallows as I accidentally bought the wrong ones and they didn’t melt the way I expected them to XD Check out the bonus photo at the end for the fallout of that mishap!
To be fair most of these photos are very similar so I wouldn’t blame you for just skipping down
We lit the candles to serve it and it was DELICIOUS. James ate so much haha!
The problem with baking these big cakes is that we only ever get through like a third of it before it’s bad >_<
Just a couple more photos… because… XD
What is your favorite flavour of cake? I want to make some more! Stupidly I actually enjoy the decorating part more than I do the actual eating so I think I need some new flavours to change my mind!!
Bonus photos:
This is the mess you get when you buy the wrong marshmallows. It looked so pretty though that I almost wanted to just leave it haha!

Now I’m craving marshmallows>_>
Bunny and Pearl iPhone 5 Case Decoden
Just a quick video while I edit the rest of my backlog. A lot of people asked for a tutorial on how I did the decoden on my phone case so this time I actually filmed a video and included the basics. Spreading the glue out like this is the quickest technique but it’s a lot neater if you place a dot of glue on each jewel as you go. .

How to make a decoden bling bunny phone case.
Today I’ll show you guys how I made my decoden iPhone case.
It’s Spring themed and uses a Bergamot Bunny charm.
First lay the main design out so you can see how it looks.
Mix equal parts of epoxy glue.
Make sure to mix it evenly.
Cover the backs of the large piece and glue down.
Draw small lines of glue down from the small flowers and add mini green jewels as stems.
Repeat with the taller flowers and larger green jewels.
You can either place lines of glue or dot each jewel with glue as you place it.
Do the largest flower with even larger jewels.
Add some small lines of mini green jewels randomly as grass.
Now flip to the other end and go all around the edges and camera hole with pearls.
Now it’s just a matter of filling everything in with more pearls.
Work from the outside into the middle.
Try to only do small sections at a time.
You can move the last few pearls around so everything fits nicely and there are no gaps.
Allow to dry and it’s done.
That’s it! Just let it dry properly overnight.
DONE!
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial and thanks for watching!
