How To Make a DIY Santa Belt Buckle Ornament

How to make a DIY Santa Belt Buckle Ornament

Christmas is around the corner and I made a Santa's little helper's tutu for my almost 3 years-old daughter, the only thing left was the Santa Belt Buckle Ornament - I am at my full term pregnancy and I am not as mobile as I would like myself to be, so instead of going around to shop for buckle, I've decided to DIY one.

Here's the Step By Step on How to Make a DIY Santa Belt Buckle Ornament.
Tools and Materials:
- Marker pen
- Ruler
- A magnetic stripe / credit card (you will only need a half of it)
- E6000 Glue
- Craft knife
- 2" width Black Satin Ribbon
- 75mm width white Satin Ribbon
- Rhinestone Adhesive Sheet

Get ready of your magnetic stripe card.

Magnetic Stripe Card

 A standard Magnetic Stripe Card should measure around 8.5cm wide.

 Measure 4.25cm and draw a line at the center.

 Cut repeatedly on the drawn line.

Fold back and forth so that the magnetic stripe card would break off naturally.

Orient half of the magnetic stripe card as shown in the picture.

Measure 5mm inwards from all borders. Draw lines with your permanent ink pen.

Then, measure 0.5" inwards from both the horizontal lines at the top and bottom, draw lines.

Cut out the rectangle. Tips: once you cut through the top and bottom lines, you may go ahead to cut the center part of of the rectangle, make sure you cut lines at the sides as well, but with the broken center part you could fold back and forth repeatedly until the sides break itself.

Repeat the same for another side of rectangle.

Measure the height of the rectangle, it should be almost 2". With this measurement you could go and hunt for a Black Satin Ribbon that suits your project, I find 1.5" ribbons are too thin so I opted for 2" Black Satin Ribbons.

 Now it's time to add some "blings" to the belt "buckle". You will need E6000 glue, 75mm white ribbons and rhinestones sticker sheet.

Apply glue directly on to the magnetic stripe card, then stick on the white ribbons.
Tips: Follow the inner edge of the magnetic stripe card when you stick on the ribbons, that way you could trim away the excess ribbons easily later.

 

Trim away the excess ribbons, and since ribbons often fray when cut, use lighter to reseal all the ribbon's sides.

Choose the surface without protruding characters, then apply E6000 glue onto the white ribbons, finally cut and stick the rhinestones sheet onto all beams.

Slid in the 2" black satin ribbons, it is a little too big for the buckle but I personally find it better off this way so that the buckle doesn't move around too much when worn.

Gorgeous, ain't it? I hope you find this tutorial useful!

Rami Kadi Red, Wedding Gowns Collection for Fall 2014 Part Two

Crazy Red.
My youth was filled with black and grey and I only started to know how to appreciate red in my late 20's, I always thought it's an age thing - wear black and grey to tell the adults that we have grown up, and wear reds to prolong our youth. :)

Picture source: The Wedding Notebook.

Again, this set of bridal outfits is presented by designer Rami Kadi, look at those details!

U-neck, lace top and fish tail back...

I personally love the little red dress very much, and the choice of that pair of nude/gold heels to go with this little red dress is flawless, 4" heels hey. :)

Deep V at the back whilst covering the collar bones at the front. Gorgeous!

The pretty ordinary piece for people who'd love simplicity - big red bow beneath the tube...

And last but not least, the use of those lace... I could imagine how light is this gonna be.

Hope you have fun viewing. :)

Jewelry Headband - Bow Headband

Jewelry Headband, A bow design for Queen B, inspired by Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl (again).

I made a headband using YoolaCuff tutorial by Yoola Design today, by applying variation to make it into a lovely headband for my little one.

Might be able to make it into a ring, you think? :)

Or, a bracelet?

And here's a glance of it in my hand:

Before I attach it onto a headband:

After attaching it onto a red color of elastic lace:

Material: Non-Tarnish Silver Artistic Wires, Swarovski Cystral Pearls, Elastic Lace.
Measurement: 9.5gram.

I think my little one looks absolutely cute with it, what you think? :)
