Sometimes I just feel like making a big pile of sparkly pink whipped cream. Those days are when things like this come out of the craft pile ^_^
It’s a ridiculously glitterly pink trinket box of pinkness… and glitter.

It all started with a box and a base coat of acrylic paint.  Then several coats of glitter paint.  
Then it was just a matter of piling on a lot of cute paper clay food I’d made several years ago.
I did so by layering it all and hot gluing as I went.
 
You can never have too much whipped cream on a project like this.
 
Gaps filled with beads, pearls, diamantes and cabochons.
DONE!
A good way to get out the pink glitter that’s been building up in my brain and make a gift for someone I know will love it, now I just need to get the rest of her package together 😀 |

I’ve done quite a few MOR reviews previously and as they are for the most part the same products with different scents I’m not going to go through each one this time but rather full your browser full of drool worthy photos and just add in some new notes to the bottom.
MOR Holiday Collection
Obtained: Sent by PR
Thoughts:
- Insanely pretty yes? Beautiful packaging as always, I think the lovely bag and tea box has outdone anything I’ve seen so far from MOR.
- The hand creams are all the same formulas of those I’ve reviewed before and the scents are again lovely.
- The vanilla lipgloss (with the gold lid and dark bottom) smell divine and is a fairly runny consistency. I found the lid was a little too loose to keep in my handbag but have it sitting next to my desk to use every day. It doesn’t last as long as a lot of my other glosses but the smell is so nice I love it anyway.
- The lip macaron was of a harder consistency and is living in my handbag at the moment. I’m not as fond of this smell as I am the other one but it’s still very nice. The design is lovely too because it’s quite thin so perfect to slip into a purse.

I made a lot of phone straps as gifts this year, I like to have a supply of gifts already made which can be given at occasions which I don’t have time to prepare for or are unexpected.
The kind of straps are great for Lolita or Hime Gyaru friends and they are so easy to make!
You just need some pretty random lace/ribbon/flowers/felt/glue/pretty things.

So grab all of your pretty materials in one place. Arrange them together how you’d like, I prefer to have one main piece of interest, a couple of smaller things and then ribbon and lace dangling down.So this is going to be the main part…
And then dangling ribbons and lace behind it…
Glue the pieces together one by one.
Then the ribbons on the back.
Add a little metal link to the back so you can attach it to a strap later and cover all of the back with a piece of felt.
And that’s all there is to it!
Pretty phone/bag/whatever strap for a girl who likes pretty things and it look all of around 10 minutes to make.
This is a fantastic way to use up old things from your craft stash too so it’s win/win! |
