How To Make Snowflake Window Stickers Instructions
Today I’m making snowflake window stickers!
Start by drawing your design on to a sheet of baking paper.
I’m doing a snow flake but you can do whatever shape you like.
Use puff paint to trace the design.
You can also buy proper window sticker paint but puff hair is cheaper and more accessible where I live.
Experiment with different sizes and thicknesses depending on the paint.
You may find that if your paint is too runny you won’t be able to do small details.
You can also cut the tip of the paint to create different shapes kind of like piping cream.
Leave it until it’s completely dry, mine took overnight.
Gently peel it off the paper when it’s completely dry.
Be gentle so you don’t damage any of the little parts.
Wet the back slightly and apply it to your window.
Done!
These are a great way to brighten up any room… so long as you have a window obviously.
Such a fun and easy project, next time I want to do a bunch of little stars to decorate my mirror with.

A few weeks ago I was invited to get my nails done by Miss Clara. We didn’t have enough time to do a full set at the Tsumiki event so I came back a week later for a set of acrylics and 3D nail art.
I gave her some inspiration of using Bergamot and knowing my tastes she came up with a Bergamot x LizLisa inspired theme. LOVE THEM! I had a lovely time and even weeks later they look absolutely perfect so be sure to check out Clara at Tsumiki!

3D Japanese Nail Art Bunnies and Flowers
Hi Everyone!
Today we’re at Tsumiki Salon and the lovely Clara is going to do my nails.
Oh no wait, don’t look at my nails now, look at them after.
So we were talking about designs and stuff and I figured we could use Bergamot somehow because she hasn’t been on the blog too much and this is a good opportunity!
Hurray!
Clara- We’re going to do acrylic nails for Violet today because she’s got really short nails. She’s a nail biter, naughty girl.
So we’re going to get some acrylic nails done and hopefully incorporate Bergamot in the design.
Clara H, Violet LeBeaux at Tsumiki design.
Bergamot Bunny Nail Art.
Clara prepped and buffed my nails.
Then applied acrylic nail extensions
I chose a long length and shape for extra design room.
She created a pink and silver glitter gradient to my thumbs and ring fingers.
Under coat.
Milky base coat.
She worked pink glitter in layers for the gradient.
Then added silver.
Next Clara painted flowers on my other nails.
Light pink acrylic paint splotches were the base.
The splotches were then outlined in dark pink to create roses.
Next she added tiny green leaves.
Outlines for more definition were added in other colours.
Clara then applied a clear top coat.
Next up were the acrylic Bergamots.
So much focus!
Not so much here.
Bergamot’s face consists of an oval.
and two lopsided sausage ears.
The ears have little hearts in them.
Plus a floppy bow.
Clara painted the face details in acrylic paint.
The thumb design started with a tea container.
Then Bergamot’s body hugging it from the side.
Clara worked in some insanely tiny details.
Lastly she topped it off with some bling.
The acrylic areas were all top coated.
When she was done it was time to camwhore a bit.
So the verdict from the Tsumiki staff?
AWESOME!!
Epic nails were promised and epic nails were delivered. Thank you so much Clara!
Clara- you’re welcome, I hope you like them
I love them, they look exactly like Bergamot.
Please go on and visit Clara’s website and blog, links will be down below.
She’s going to start a youtube channel with tutorials and stuff soon so make sure to check it! And I will post links there too!
Thank you so much!
Clara- thank you!
Bye!
The nails look amazing!Check out the blog post in the description for some big photos of all the details.
Clara is insanely talented and I would recommend her 100% especially if you love 3D Japanese style work as much as I do!
Definitely have a look at her website for more beautiful nailart. www.Clarahnails.com
Thank you for a wondering afternoon Clara!

Paperclay bunny magnet instructions.
Today I’ll show you how to make Bergamot Bunnies out of paper clay.
This is the paper clay I’m using.
Take a small piece of clay and make a ball.
Flatten slightly and press a thumb into the top.
This is the body.
Make a small ball of clay and smoosh one side.
Attach to one side at the bottom as a foot.
Repeat on the other side.
Make 2 long sausages and flatten them for ears.
Stick the bottoms together and flatten them a little more.
For the head, flatten a large ball into a slight oval.
Attach the head to the body with a little water.
Do the same with the ears.
Make sure they’re off to one side!
Smooth the back over completely.
Make 2 tiny balls, squish side and apply as arms.
To smooth, just wipe with a little water on your finger.
Now you have a blank bunny!
Leave it to dry completely.
When it’s dry, paint hearts in the ears.
I used water colours with a dry brush for this.
Add the nose, mouth and “V” on the foot.
Use a wet brush for a soft blush.
Then the eyes, watercolour was too hard for this.
So I used a pen instead.
To finish her, I added a small clay bow.
Lastly add a magnet strip to the back using a glue gun.
All finished! Cute little Bergamots.
So there you have it.
Bergamot paper clay magnets are really simple to make and you can use the same general idea to make pretty much any shape.
I hope you enjoy the video and found it useful.
Thanks so much for watching!

Usamimi Sewing Instructions
Today I’m sewing a simple usamimi headband!
Gather your materials.
Cut a long rectangle of fabric and put the ends together.
Fold in half length-wise.
Snip the end into a rounded point like this.
Unfolded it should look something like this.
Unfold and then fold in half to form a big sausage.
Thread a needle and start stitching at one point.
Running stitch down the side.
It can take a while to get to the other side.
Leave a small gap when you reach the other end and tie off.
Turn the whole thing inside out through the end gap.
Flatten it out and you should have something like this.
Unwind a piece of wire twice as long as the tube.
Fold it in half, twist together then fold the ends into loops.
Thread the wire into the tube.
Then stitch up the gap.
Tie off the end.
All done!
Taadaa!
Cure and it holds itself up with the wire, the perfect bunny headband.
And that’s it! You can whip one of these up in a couple of minutes once you get the hang of it and it’s even quicker on a sewing machine.
Check out the link in the description for a photo version of the tutorial on my blog.
Hope you all enjoyed the video and good luck if you give it a try yourself.
Thanks so much for watching, bye!
