Doctor Who shoes

I painted myself some Doctor Who shoes!

Now I can express my love for Doctor Who when I'm out and about...

Step by step photos for you now...

Step 1- Paint one shoe brown and one blue.

Step 2-I forgot to get a photo of me doing the darker stripes but I did it the same way as the lighter ones. 

Just place sellotape along the shoe leaving a small gap between each piece and paint over it and you will have some pretty straight lines. With the light brown you may want to paint them on twice as you can see threw mine a bit.

Step 3- I forgot to get a photo of this step too, sorry! But I used the same sellotape method here, just use sellotape to make the black stripe and then 8 white squares to act as the windows of the TARDIS. Oh and also paint the little flap bit black.

Step 4-Now we get to paint the little white stars on the black flap, write 'Police Box' onto the black strip and place a little white square in the middle of the black line for the light.

Step 5- I used red paint for the bow tie and braces but then used a black Sharpie to draw on the buttons and draw around the bow-tie and braces.

Step 6- And finally I wrote these little quotes on the back end of them. The blue one says 'Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuff' and the bown says 'Bow ties are cool'

and they're finished!

My Top 5 Craft Blogs

This is just a post about my top five favourite blogs for craft plus I put them in order so you can see which are my favourites...

1 Eat Drink Chic by Amy Moss I simply ADORE the printables that Amy Moss designs as you might be able to tell by the amount I link them :) The first post I ever came across of hers was her Ice Cream Parlour Buffet Concept and since then I have been an avid reader of her blog. She regularly posts a huge range of printables and DIY's for the home that are simply gorgeous and oh so simple to make. NOTE: She is currently on a break form her blog but will be returning in November.

2.Funky Time by Sibylle This is a great blog and I just love the vibrant oranges and yellows of the sites graphics. Sibylle designs some great graphics and makes the funkiest DIY's, I especially love her recent ping pong ball candles, they are so cute. She also releases a quarterly magazine online that normally about 70 pages and contains articles from other bloggers plus DIY's, printables, up cycles and tablescapes.

3. Just Something I Made by Cathe Holden I get a lot of the graphics I use off of here, her site is just great! It not only has a huge (and I mean HUGE) selection of free vintage printables, she also has a range of DIY's. This is one of my fave blogs purely because of all the vintage stuff that she posts, which I just adore, I swear I was born in the wrong era! 

4.PS I Made This by Erica Domesek This is a tumblr based blog that I follow and the author has also released a new book to go with the blog. She blogs mainly about fashion and how to make clothes and accessories but she also does some tutorials on food too occasionally.  

5.A Splendid Assemblage by Dina Dina posted loads of great fashion DIY's and how to's especially ones that are inspired by famous fashion brands. My favourite of her DIY's was the inspirational quote T-Shirt, I robbed the quote and made my own t shirt with it ;)

Batman Bleached Tee

I made a batman bleached Tee over the weekend for my brothers Christmas present...I know, I know its far too early, but I wanted to try it early in case it didn't work so that I would have time to come up with a new idea before Christmas. 

What you will need:

T shirt

Bleach in a spray bottle

Card

Pencil

Scissors

Sticky black plastic

1) Draw your shape onto the card and cut it out

2) Now draw round your card onto the sticky back plastic.

3) Now put a big piece of cardboard in between the top  and stick the shape onto the tee.

4) Now spray all around the top with the bleach

(after one spray)

(after two)

(After the third and final spray)

Quote T-Shirt

I brought a t-shirt from Primark a couple of weeks back with the idea of wearing it with my navy blue pleated maxi skirt. It was white with an Aztec print on it, it looked quite like this one from Topshop that I found online.

But with a little bit of inspiration from Dina over at A Splendid Assemblage I decided to customise it.

 I printed out the quote in a big font on to some paper then placed it in the middle of the shirt. As it was such a thin shirt you could see the words behind it so I grabbed my fabric pens and simply traced the words through the shirt. Then I ironed it and it was done, all in all it took me about 15 mins,well, if you took away the hour I spent trying to decide whether to do it or not because I was worried about ruining the top ahaha ;)
