DIY Vintage Deco for Bedroom

A DIY on how to create a vintage or 'shabby chic' deco for your bedroom re-using the Yankee candle jar. The is lots of different ways to reuse Yankee candle jars and this is one way!

You don't have to just use a candle jar you could use any jar you wanted to, the rose garments you can make yourself or purchase them off Amazon like I did.

It is a cute way to brighten up your room without spending a fortune.

All you need is:

Rose Garment

Yankee jar (or any jar)

Scissors

Optional:

Hand cream

Toilet roll tube

pliers

Step one: 

Firstly, just for the people who are re-using a candle jar - you need to freeze your jar for about half an hour or put boiling water into your jar to steep to get rid of the access wax.

Once you have the jar ready grab your scissors and rose garment!

Step Two:

Now for this, you need to cut your garment up in two depending on the length of it. Cut it to your satisfaction. I cut mine into two and then cut one part into another two just so I knew it would fit into the jar. (a whole garment won't fit or it will be too much)

With the remains of the garment just keep it for now as you can use it for other purposes.

But...if your garment is like this one I am using and has a metal wire inside you may find it tricky to cut it with scissors so maybe pliers is better to use.

Step 3:

At this point you take your garment you are going to place into the jar and curl it as though it was twirly pasta! if you are finding it difficult to curl as it is a bit hands-on and can hurt your hands especially with metal inside, use a toilet roll tube and rap your garment around that.

Final Step:

Now just start at one end and place it into your jar, this is the most fiddly bit I found. Move the roses and the wire around to suit your satisfactory, if you find the is too much garment cut some more off and there you go! your own cute vintage decor for your bedroom!

I hope you enjoyed this post and may possibly use this in your room or even in the bathroom! I never like wasting things that can be storage or deco for my room so a lot of things in my room I have re-used or used as something else, if you are interested in more of these let me know I could do other ways to re-use jars or I could show you other cute ways to create your room to look a little vintage!

My New Boots

Fashion has always been a passion for mine (and clearly rhyming) so I thought I would post about my new bargain babies that are on trend everywhere at the moment.

Winter is my favourite time of year for fashion and styling etc, I love the whole concept of thick oversized jumpers, ankle boots and nice fluffy socks. I have seen these boots all over blogs and Pinterest, but the price was never my cup of tea.

...until I came across these on eBay. When I first saw them they didn't have my size so I kept checking (they are very popular so hard to get a hold of) but, when I saw these in my size eventually I instantly had to purchase them!

What I love about these boots is they are easy to style with anything. I have worn mine with skater skirts but you could wear them with jeans, skater dresses anything really can work with these.

They are in trend at the moment so they are very popular and difficult to get your hands on. Topshop and River island sell these but they are a bit more pricey, mine was £33 which is brilliant compared to the high street shops. Such a staple piece to have in your wardrobe.

What have been your favourite winter boots?
