DIY Chevron Nails

This is the hot new trend in nail art and I have fallen in love with it since I saw it on Pinterest but have not been able to figure out how to do it myself until the other day.

Here are the steps to enjoying your own chevron nails:

1.  Paint nails (4/5) with a base coat I used this orange color.

2.  Paint the nail you left blank white.  Allow all nails to dry completely

3.  Using scrapbooking scissors I cut the stripes out of masking tape.

4.  Once nails are dry place the stripes you made on the white nail (make sure it is attached securely)

5.  Paint over the white nail with the orange color allow to dry.

6.  Gently pull off tape.

7.  Cover nails with a clear coat and enjoy :)

DIY Scarf Hanger

In case you can't tell by the end of this post I love scarves!  Until now I've been hanging them on hanger and it's a pain in the butt to get them on and off the hanger without knocking them all off .  So in comes this project to help me organize them and make it look a little nicer in the closet.

Here are some of the things you will need:

Shower rings, mine were cheap ones from
dollar tree 12 for $1 can't beat that!

Hot glue gun

Ribbon, I bought this ribbon scrap
pack from Hobby Lobby for 50% off

Here is the variety I got in the
pack and they were the perfect
length for this project!

Now here are the steps to complete this project (there are a lot I apologize ahead of time!)

1.  Grab one shower ring and a piece of ribbon
place a drop of hot glue near the clasp and glue
one end of the ribbon onto it.

2.  Wrap overlapping slightly all the way
around the shower ring.

Wrapping should look like this
no white showing.

4.  When you get back to the end
place another drop of hot glue and
continue wrapping to finish the ring

5.  Leave the tail on the ring this
will be used to attach the rings together

6.  After wrapping all the rings your
table might look something like this, and
your hands might hurt (sorry!)

7.  Cut the tails off of the rings and put the
extra ribbon aside.
8.  Arrange the rings how you want
them to look

Now comes the fun part linking
them together
9.  take one end of a ribbon tail and
glue it onto one of the rings like this.

10.  Glue the other ring on top
of where you started the ribbon
tail.

11.  Wrap the ribbon tail around
both of the rings until you feel
it is secure then secure the end with hot glue.

12.  After you have finished attaching
everything it will look something like this.
13.  I then took yarn and attached it to the hanger.

14.  Hang scarves and admire your work :)
