Make a loop at the top.

Wind it around and around and around and around and around.

When you get to this area you will need to start winding it around each of the top bumps.

Keep going until you either run out of wire or it looks finished.

Messy and adorable. I think if you made like 10 of them you could decorate a tiny adorable Christmas tree  XD

In theory you could also make whatever shape you wanted if you had some pliers haha!

Or it could be a wall hanging in a doll’s house XD Or a gift for your friend who really likes The Used hahaha!

Outfit Of The Day! Comfort

Outfit time!

Last week someone asked me via email how I dress when I’m around the house. It’s Winter here at the moment so generally I wear something like this which is comfy but also warm and still pretty cute.

I keep my hair in a bun when at home usually because it’s easy and low maintenance. The jumper is from the Camberwell Markets ($2), the pants are from Target ($14) and the slippers are from Big W ($7.50). I like to keep home clothes nice and cheap because they get worn so much harder than dressy clothes!VioletLeBeauxP1060813_17777I took some make up shots using a really cool pink lighting set up at a camera expo we were at last weekend. I want a pink light now too!

I’ve been having fun with my hair more too thinking of ideas for tutorials. This is a sweeping braid wrapped with a side bun.
