Oh, and there's one for Kesha too, not that anyone in their right mind would want to look like her or should ever emulate her 'style'. But just for an easy laugh, here she is in all her grotty glory:

✄ DIY tutorial: Pearly Sunglasses

I've finally got round to making a proper tutorial for my pearly sunglasses and here it is:

What You'll Need: 

A pair of sunglasses

Strong glue 

(all I had was superglue)

A nail file or fine metal file

A load of pearls 

(make sure you work out roughly how many you'll need before you start and not make the same mistake I did in my old post)

1. Gently file over, on the sunglasses, where you will place your pearls (it increases the strength between the sunglasses and the pearls).

2. File each pearl until they have one small flat edge (this is so they sit against the sunglasses easier).

3. Add a blob of glue to the flat side of the pearl and hold it in place on your subglasses until it has set.

 3. Repeat this step until your sunglasses are covered.

Looks pretty simple doesn't it? Well, it's a lot harder than it think! (see post from ages ago)

So I'll pick up where I left off on the last post:

So yeh, I ran out of pearls! Always check you have enough materials before you start creating or you'll have to wait months and months before you can find more of the same. Lesson learned!

This may look like a backwards step but that's the price you have to pay for being a perfectionist. The pearls were ever so slightly unsemetrical so naturally I ripped all of them off and started again! This meant that I had to spend half an hour filing down the superglue that was left on the sunglasses so that the pearls would sit evenly. I also had to file down some of the edges of the pearls so they could slot next to eachother to make the perfect heart shape. It was all totally worth it.
