DIY notebook cover

Image
You got a couple of notebooks but you don't like their cover? Try out this DIY to make them look pretty and unique! You'll need: a notebook white printing paper white acrylic paint paint brushes scrapbook paper in different patterns school glue or double-sided tape scissors washi tape a heavy book (if you use school glue instead of double-sided tape) Start off by preparing your notebook - if the cover already has a colour that matches your scrapbook paper, you can leave it like that, otherwise paint your whole notebook with white acrylic paint or cover it entirely in white paper to create a nice and even base colour. Let it dry entirely if you used paint or glued the paper on with school glue. Also, whenever you glue something onto your notebook using school glue, it's best to let it dry while it's laying under a heavy book so that the cover won't roll up. If you don't have scrapbook paper and print out your designs, al...

Image
First of all - a massive THANK YOU for more than 100,000 views, over 450 thumbs up and more than 140 subscribers! You people are awesome ! Birthday Surprise For My Boyfriend - How to create a video Since there seems to be quite an interest in how I made the video and what items I used to get this result, here's some sort of tutorial if you wanted to make the exact same thing. I hope you enjoy it. If anything's missing, tell me in the comments below and I'll add any additional information that is requested. If you don't know what video I'm talking about, this is it:  (or click here  to watch it on YouTube) If you want to make the exact same thing as I did, you'll need: a sketch block (you can buy the one I used here ) a black sharpie or felt pen (I used a felt pen by herlitz and a black stabilo point 88 fine 0.4 but it really doesn't make much of a difference which ones you use) a lot of glittery decoration like stars, co...

Quark and Fruit Dessert

Image
A quick and easy summery dessert For two to three servings you'll need: 1lb quark (lowfat) 60ml heavy cream 2 tsp. vanilla sugar or 1 tsp. vanilla extract chocolate chips fruit Put the quark, heavy cream and the vanilla sugar / extract into a bowl and blend everything together. At this point, you can basically add everything to the mixture you'd like - lemon cest, more vanilla, more sugar, milk to make it smoother, chocolate chips or whatever comes to your mind. Divide the mixture into two or three equal parts (depending on if you want to get two or three servings out of it), and put each part into a dessert bowl or dessert glass. Top it with fruit of your choice and decorate it with chocolate chips. Easy and quick to make, no baking required. I might post more photos of this every now and then on my Instagram - if you want to check them out, click  here . 

DIY Penguin Keychain

Image
How to make your own plush keyring pendant You'll need: black, orange and white felt a sewing needle black, white (and orange) yarn a pencil (to draw the pattern onto the felt) scissors a keyring fiberfill ribbon First, print out the pattern (it's at the bottom of this page), cut the pieces out and trace them onto the felt. Cut out the felt pieces and arrange them. Then, going from detail to general, attach the parts to each other. I started by sewing the eyes and beak to the white belly / face part, then went onto loosely attaching the flippers, feet and ribbon to the black back. After that part, I sew the white belly part to the black one and then started to sew the front and the back of the penguin together. When I was almost done with that, I stuffed the penguin with fiberfill and finished sewing it together. It's completely up to you which technique of sewing you want to use, and you can also change the sewing pattern as much as you l...
