DIY: Birthday Decor

 This past week it was my sister's birthday and to celebrate my family hosted a small gathering with my family and friends. For decorations we organized them with the colours of white, gold, pink and black. We kept it simple and chic with the decorations. It was a wonderful day!

We hung up these gold balloons which read the words #party and it was easy to install and very cute. 

I found these at icing. 

A glass table was used to place appetizers and some sweets for the celebration. 

We indulged in homemade chocolate cupcakes with frosting, strawberry and vanilla macarons and milk chocolate. 

This tassel string decoration was made by my sister who cut tissue paper up in the colours white, gold and pink and placed them on a string. This added a great touch to the rest of the decorations. 

DIY Pin Collar Accessory

Recently I came up with this DIY that is incredibly unique and different to what you typically see. Most people use a bold statement necklace to accessorize their looks because it gives it a pop to the outfit. But I recently saw this unique twist on Pinterest which took a necklace to a different level.

Materials:
- Pins (found at craft store)
- Jump-rings (found at craft store)
- Chain (found at craft store)
- Choice of jewel/flower (found at craft store)
- Hot glue gun

Procedure: 

First I removed all of the materials from their packaging.

Then I glued my flower onto my pin also making a hole in the fabric. This hole will allow us to attach the jump ring further on. 

Then I cut down the gold chain so that it would not be too long when it was attached. 

Then I attached the jump ring to the gold chain.

Next I attached it to the fabric and closed the jump ring shut. 

Finally, I attached it to my shirt!
