Designing a Stylish Blouse

Designer:Presdacapulco

Fashion is one domain that we all tend to experiment with as teens. Back in the days, when the internet was not the resourceful tool it is today, you had to go with your instincts when designing a stylish blouse almost from scratch. Now, you have this tutorial to help you. Take:

  • a flexible and thin fabric;
  • a pair of scissors;
  • a sewing machine;

Of course, you would want to make this to fit your size. So, take the appropriate measurements and replace them with the ones that you see in the pictures. After this, it's time for the cutting and sewing. First, make the `belt` from a strip of the material. After doing all the cuts, mark 8 folds. Poke these folds and angle them inward with the iron. Sew the belt on the down side of the blouse. Iron the seam. Continue to assemble the two parts together. For the sleeves and neckline, fold the fabric 2 times at 1 cm wide and pin. Sew the seam by hand. The blueprint indications are not that clear, but as said before, fashion is one area in which the trial-and-error philosophy rules.

Now, to make the design similar to a peacock's beautiful tail, apply a final shape with the light blue. You could also add some glitter nail polish on the final coat. Let it dry, of course.

DIY Crown Braid Tutorial For Medium-Long Hair [VIDEO]

Give your hair the coolest style with this DIY crown braid. If done right, this hair due will last overnight and you will look elegant and royal for 2 days straight. There are some steps you must take in order to achieve this result. So, before you begin the process, separate the bangs or fringe area in a heavy side.
Make a pair of ponytails by separating the hair into 2 sections with a zigzag part and using elastic bands. Work with one section at a time. Take out the elastic and separate the hair in 3 diagonally-split pieces. Now make a normal tri-strand braid, starting with the outermost section and crossing it over the center, then taking the inner one and crossing it over the center. As you do this, remember to pull the hair to the opposite side where the ponytail is. When you’re done, secure with an elastic band and start the same work on the other ponytail section, repeating the same steps. You will notice that the pieces will begin to cross over one another, while you braid diagonally downward. Wrap a band around it when you’re finished.

Keep the braid in place with the help of a small bobby pin placed underneath, and wrap one braid around to the front. Do this motion for the other braid as well. Take the tails of each section, tuck them, and – in order to hide the loose ends – loop through the petals of each braid. Repeat with the other section of braid. It’s done. Wonderful!

Christmas Hairstyles: Rudolph Bun

• a bun mold;
• a piece of elastic;
• bobby pins;
