Flora

Okay, my love for bougainvillea has grown to an obsession, but they are so pretty! My love for black and white stripes combined wit a flower print has also extended to a slight obsession. It is the perfect balance, two opposite prints and color vs monotone.

DIY; Bamboo Sunburst Mirror

Happy Saturday! I have a great DIY for you this weekend! I have been wanting a sunburst mirror since the beginning of time and had decided to make one myself, however I never got around to it and not knowing exactly what materials to use for my burst I just kept postponing this DIY. Then I got this inspiration from Anthropologies new collection "here" and it was natural that my Sunburst mirror had to be one of my favorite materials; bamboo! 

What you need;
- Small round mirror
- Decorative bamboo sticks (find them in a home and garden store)
- Hot glue gun
- Measuring tape
- Gardening scissors

Measure out the length of your bamboo sticks and cut them using your gardening scissors (I cut them 30cm). 

Then glue them in a cross and around. 

You can cut a circle out of cardboard then stick it to the back, hot glueing a rope or ribbon to hang the mirror. 

Et Voila! Your DIY Bamboo Sunburst Mirror ready to hang!

Bunch of flower DIY

Lately I have been obsessing over bougainvillea flowers, it is my favorite tropical flower. When I came across these sew-on sequin bougainvilleas I had to have them! Although I procrastinated sewing them on, I finally did it! all you need to do is put on a tv series that you can watch back to back, but don't forget to look where your needle is going!

Can't get over how "real" they look! 

What you need; 

- A shirt 

- Sew-on flowers (similar ones "here" and "here") 

- Needle and thread

Make a design you like, along the sleeves, along the neckline or scattered over the shoulders...

 Et Voila!
