DIY Key-chain - Tutorial

-
So, as you may or may not know, I have an obsession with DIY. There's something about having that feeling that you made it yourself - and it feels good. Anyway, I was bored, and I wanted a key-chain (it was on my wish-list). So, I decided to surf the internet for do-it-yourself key-chains. Most of them just weren't up to what I wanted, and for some, I didn't have the materials. I plan to make another one that I found on the internet later; it was a secret lip-balm macaroon key-chain and I think that is adorable. But I don't have any lip-balm at the moment, so I combined many different ideas on the internet and made my own original key-chain!

~DIY Key-Chain~

Your materials:

💌Hot glue gun
💌Clear hot glue stick
💌One of those metal orb pendants (I think that's what they're called?)
💌Scissors
💌Jump ring/ key-ring
💌A sheet of paper printed with some of your favorite pictures off the internet





When you've got your materials, first you begin with cutting some of your pictures and putting them on your orb pendant to check them out.





You might want to trace the size of the pendant with a pencil and scrap paper like I've done here.









I decided that the unicorn looked best; so I decided to make a unicorn pendant! First, I stuck the picture on the pendant, and then I covered it with hot glue. Then I stuck the pendant face-down on a smooth, flat surface, like my table.





The pendant drying. Remember, you need a smooth surface so it can peel off easily. Don't worry, it won't leave any marks.




What it looked like after drying; I KNOW I KNOW IT LOOKS MESSY




After I trimmed it with scissors. It looks better? 🤷







I decided that since the edges looked so messy, I might as well cover them up. So I tried gem stickers which is completely optional; you can use other things like ribbon too if your sides look just as messy.




I added a gem to the back as well for 'effect'. Actually it just looks cute, and that's it. XD




My jump ring. I didn't have a key-ring, so...well...improvise!





What it looks like, hanging on my bag. Well, for that string I took a rubber band, cut it, and then tied it to the pendant to secure it to the jump ring and I secured it with hot glue.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out! I might do more DIY tutorials later on, and I hope you will make this!

Cya! 😅

Frozen 2 - movie review

-
I'm writing this right after an hour since I came back from the cinema and let me tell you, Frozen 2 was a treat! Amazing, amazing, amazing!  I was so charmed by it, and my mother sitting next to me literally started fangirling over the water spirit (something I'd never thought she'd do!) Review starts here! Movie name:  Frozen 2 My rating: 5 stars My review: Each scene of this amazing movie is eye candy. The comedy is there, thrown in by Olaf. The intense, sad, scary moments are there, and there is a time when it looks like both sisters are gone for good. I would say that I actually liked this better than the original. Anna finally takes the role of a hero, and Elsa's personality becomes more developed, more than just the protective older sister. We're seeing the next "Let It Go" with the song "Into The Unknown", both of which are remotely similar. The movie was basically a musical - there are about 8-9 songs in it. Each spirit is d...

City Spies - book review

 Hey! For some reason lately I've really been into espionage fiction - and when my Audible credit came up I chose this book. This is also, coincidentally, the first not-fantasy book I've read for a while, and it was nice to take a break from the genre. The cover looked pretty cool and who can miss out on such a diverse cast of main characters? I was not let down by any of it. City Spies was so fun and thrilling that I made up a joke to describe the ride to my friends. Joke below. Me: I should really get some sleep. Ten hours at least. Also me at three in the morning: OMG THIS BOOK IS SO EXCITING SLEEP IS OVERRATED Yeah. That pretty much sums up the awesomeness of this book. City Spies has characters from all around the world (France, Nepal, Brazil, Australia, and America) and I could not NOT read it. They all range in age as well - twelve to fifteen years old. The stakes are high - although not you're-dead-if-you-don't-do-this-right high - and I was absolutely thrilled ...

DIY Lip Balm - Tutorial

-
Aaaaand I'm back with another DIY post...this one doesn't have pictures but it is pretty straightforward. This is DIY lip balm and it is soooooo  easy! It literally requires two ingredients for the lip balm itself. It is so cute as well and really tasty. You can make strawberry lip balm, almond lip balm, chocolate lip balm, pineapple lip balm...it just depends on what you have. You can also make flower ones, but I'll go into that in a minute. So, what you will need is: 🌈Petroleum jelly; some people call it Vaseline 🌈Any essence; vanilla, strawberry, chocolate...the possibilities are endless! 🌈A sort of small container to keep you lip balm in 🌈Toothpick 🌈Spoon So, first you want to scoop some Vaseline in your container until it's full. Take your flavouring and add a few drops of it in the Vaseline; and then stir it with a toothpick or skewer; it depends on the amount of lip balm. When it is fully mixed in, smooth out the lip balm with the back of your sp...
