DIY: Button Bobby-Pins


Happy Monday!! Today's Refreshed = Reusable DIY is button bobby pins. I found my grandmother's can of old buttons, and I found buttons she had cut off blouses and sweaters that she was throwing away. I fell in love with this amazing pink colored button that looked like tiny rose buns! Lucky for me she had six!!! So I grabbed my pack of mini bobby pins, snatched up my hot glue gun, and got to craftin'!!!


I slid the button through the bobby pin, until I got to the u-shaped end, the held onto the button with a pair of tweezers. This caused the bobby pin to hang down vertically. So then I shot a dab of hot glue right in the hole of the button. Then sat the hot glue gun down, and lifted the bobby pin up where it was vertical, laid the pin down on a flat surface so it could dry.


There ya go, free & snazzy hair accessories! I adore these!!
Pictured in my friend "H"'s hair! Too cute♥

Here are a few other pins I made using the same technique:




Feel free to email me at the address located on the right-hand sidebar anytime with more detailed instructions on how I put together this DIY, or any others! Hope you enjoy!

Birthday Wishes

Today is my beautiful cousin Chassidy's 25th birthday! I look up to her in soo many different ways. Through a series of unfortunate events, she has became one of the strongest women I know. She lost her mom a few month's before her 16th birthday. Even though I don't live with my mom, I couldn't imagine not having one. Chassidy has overcame things most of us have never even thought about. I can only pray that she is blessed fabulous things the rest of her 25th year. I love you Chassidy Brooke!

TGIF! {HF4F}

Hooray! It's Friday!!! In just two more days I'll be fifteen years old, and in three more days I'll be street legal (with a parent/guardian!!!) Time truly flies by and I'm realizing more every day that you need to make the most out of the time you have! Here are my top five things from this week! If you've never participated in a "High Five For Friday" post, go link up with Lauren @ From My Grey Desk and join the fun.




1. Building Emmie Lou's bunny condo in just two days- two very long, hot, exhausting days. When I say condo, I mean it. She loves it, which is all that matters. 

2. Finally getting a hot glue gun so I could finally tend to my list of "crafts to-do!" Make sure to come by Monday to see whats featured on "Refreshed and Reusable" Monday! It is hair-accessory related!

3. Anticipating all the goodies I will get for my birthday. The only non-fun part is I ordered all my presents, which kind of sucks the fun out of it. But I'm still super excited!

4. The countdown continues- 15 days until I'm Myrtle Beach bound with my amazing boy friend & His family. 


5. I'm having a pre-birthday celebration tonight at a local country tavern. All of the 'High Rock Supper Club' will be there, a.k.a- my dysfunctional non relation family! Word on the street is, I'll be getting presents tonight too! SCORE♥



Have a super, splendid, and safe weekend!!
