DIY up-cycled Cotton Swab Holder

Here is a simple and quick tutorial for up-cycling used containers. I keep my cotton swabs in an old eye make up remover pad container. It had been sitting in my bathroom for months and I constantly looked at it saying it really could have been prettier if I tried. I decided to grab some of my washi tape (my go-to right now)and wrap it up with the designs I liked. I thought the tape I used at the top with the weekdays looked perfect for something I use daily. I covered the threads of the container so it didn't have anything in a stark white.

 

 I am glad with how it turned out. I don't really mind that you can see the words through some of the tapes. If you dont want that just make sure to use something darker or more solid. Just remember to end and finish all the tapes on the same side so there are only seams on one side. 

Organization: How to Organize Jewelry

Hello Everyone!


Today I thought I would go through some basics in terms of organization seeing as I was in the perfect to mood to tidy up. I chose to show you how I  organize my Jewelry today and have a third that was recently done that I would love to share. 

Now I have tons of jewelry and want to make sure I can see it all so I can wear all my jewelry and not forget about things I have. I prefer having things out and in the open so that I can be aware of what I have and make use of it all. I have a few things I use for organizing jewelry. 

• Trays
• Ready made Necklace Holder
• Ready made Bangle display
• Thrift store finds

Picks of the Week

Hey y'all! Here are my favourite things that I have been eyeing over the past week. Firstly, I love the look of these vintage knot and bow library cards. They remind me of my childhood, borrowing books, filling in your name while glazing over who had the book before you. I am ready to get my hands on a set of these for sure. The next stationary Item I am in love with and will probably be posting about more often is washi tape. I love washi tape, it is so handy and easy to use. You can do tons of DIY washi tape projects which I will share here. Lastly, In the stationery favourites I have this amazing Coccoina Glue. This is a potato based almond smelling glue or paste. I have used it before and just love it. I am waiting to get my hands on it as soon as possible. Geometric shapes are really in right now. Weather this is in home decor, scrapbooking trends or the newest jewelry trend. Speaking of Jewelry, I tend to place all of mine in a bowl. I love the idea of having great pieces of decor incorporated into your organizing. It is a really the best way to store Jewelry.
