<br />
I love the holiday season, to me is one of the best times of the year. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I love to decorate the x-mas tree. The tree never looks the same and I been thinking about doing a x-mas tree with white ornaments. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I looked all over the internet for nice ideas and pictures but I din't find much. I have seen white trees with decoration in different colors but not what it was not what I was looking for. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I started looking for nice white decorations but I was very disappointed because most of the things I found were gold, silver or very colorful.<br />
So I decided to make my own. The white top star and the small one that you see here were gold so I got some spray paint and I spray painted them. Problem solved : )<br />

If you happen to be in Miami. I suggest you stop over at Arango Design Store. It is located inside Dadeland Mall. Great shopping mall! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a tip if you stop at Macy's will able to apply for a 11% discount card (for visitors from other countries only). You can ask for it at the customer service desk. <br />
They will only give it to you if you show them you passport. <br />
Card not good for makeup or perfumes. <br />
<br />
Well now to the Arango Store. Great store to pick up things for home. What ever you pick up at the store will generate a buzz between your friends. <br />

<strong>Glass Tube Tealight Candle Holder</strong><br />

I leave you with a post about animal print. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wear animal print from time to time. But I have to say "Ladies we want people to know that we have a wild side to ourselves not that we are a wild animal that just escaped from the zoo"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So please just make sure you don't over do it. A purse, a cardigan, a skirt, jewlery, a scarf, a nice pair of shoes (I love pony hair. I think it looks great) to show that wild side of our is ok. Just dont do it head to toe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you want to wear a leopard dress take look at Nicky Hilton. I think she is doing it right. When wearing animal print take a look at how it looks from the back as well. Specially if it is tight. If you are not confy just put a cardigan or jacket on top ot it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bueno ahora hablemos un poquito de moda. Aquí les dejo con un post acerca del look animal. Yo lo llevo de vez en cuando. No puedo seguir escribiendo sin decirles "Queridas todas queremos que la gente sepa que tenemos un lado salvaje. Lo que no queremos es que crean que nosotras somos un animal salvaje que acaba de escapar del zoológico. Entonces por favor "No Abusar". Un bolso, una rebeca (cardigan), una falda, complementos, una bufanda, un buen par de zapatos (Adoro los de pelo de poni) pueden también dejar ver nuestro lado salvaje. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Si quiere llevar un vestido de leopardo fíjate en la foto de Nicky Hilton. Por supuesto lo ideal es que se vea bien por delante y por detrás : ). Así que a vernos en el espejo antes de salir. No basta con lucir bien por delante, también hay que ver como nos vemos por detrás. Si sientes que es demasiado para ti siempre puedes usar una rebeca (cardigan) o un blazer encima del vestido . Pienso que lo hace bastante bien.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="post-body"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I love the look of a tufted headboard, but could never bring myself to part with $400+ to buy one. Then I thought, why not make one? The result was a fabulous looking headboard, if I do say so myself. If you have always wanted a headboard and have a free day, a friend to help out and around $100, you too can make your very own headboard. If I can do it, anyone can. Go for it.</span></div><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: bold;">Step 1: Look for inspiration</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Headboards can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on how ambitious you want to be. Since I had never made one before I stuck to your standard rectangle shape. My inspiration was</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><a href="http://home-decor.hsn.com/nate-berkus-tufted-headboard-california-king_pf-367220_xp.aspx?club_id=367220&sz=665&sf=HD0105&rdr=1&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engine-_-Froogle-_-Home%20Decor-_-4536483&cawelaid=243517241" style="color: #fea018; text-decoration: none;">this</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Nate Berkus headboard.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<span style="color: white;">Step 2: Take Measurements</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Width: Measure the width of your bed. The headboard should be a about 1" or 2" larger in width than your mattress.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Height: This is up to you. If you are planning on leaning against it while in bed make sure it is tall enough. Measure from the top of the mattress to the height you want the headboard to be.</span></div><span style="color: white;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: bold;">Step 3: Buy Your Supplies:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">You can buy plywood in large sheets. Have the hardware store cut it to size. (Most stores will do this for free.) The sheet probably won't lay exactly flat, but it isn't a big deal.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">You may know of a better source for foam but I bought mine at JoAnn fabrics for 50% off. I had to buy two pieces because their foam only comes in one width and this accounted for about half the money spent on the project.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">When buying your batting and fabric, make sure you have enough to wrap around the front and secure to the back. (I wouldn't recommend a patterned fabric for your first try.) Two layers of batting over your foam is recommended.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: bold;">Step 4: Put It All Together:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">1. Find a clean, well ventilated work area.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">2. Determine how many buttons you will use and where you want them to go. (Just a heads up the tufting was by far the most time consuming part.) Mark the board and drill small holes. (Just small enough for the upholstery needle to pass through, this will help keep the buttons lined up.)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">3. Lay the plywood down and spray one side with adhesive and adhere the foam. Cut off any excess foam so that it is exactly flush with the plywood. There should be no overlap. (This is where that electric knife comes in handy.)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">4. Push your upholstery needle through the holes you just drilled the foam. Make shallow cuts into the foam where your upholstery needle comes through.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">5. Spray the foam with adhesive and hold one side of the batting while your friend holds the other side and pull taut. Place on top of foam. Make sure there is no puckering because it will show through the fabric.

Place plywood, batting side down on top of fabric. Wrap fabric around to the back of the headboard, secure the fabric loosely with a few staples.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

Double thread your upholstery needle with upholstery thread and poke through one of your pre-drilled holes from the back to the front. Don't pull all the way through! Make sure to leave some thread hanging out of the back. Slide the button onto the thread and poke the needle back through the same hole. Push the button on the front of your headboard into the foam while your friend tightly secures the thread on the back with a bunch of staples. You will need a hammer to bang in the staples, so that the thread will stay secure. (There is probably a better way to secure the thread but this is how I did it.)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">There are three ways that I know of to mount your headboard; legs, a french cleat or flush mounts.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Legs are the most apartment friendly method because it doesn't involve drilling holes into the walls. Just make sure that the headboard sits a little above your mattress or else it can interfere when you are trying to make the bed. For this option you will need two 1x4's cut to size. The legs should be about 2" above the floor and within 5" of the top of the headboard. Screw the 1x4's to the back of the headboard and then bolt them onto your bed frame.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">A French cleat is a little more involved but this is my favorite method. To use this method take a board and rip it at a 45 degree angle. Then you mount one piece to the back of the headboard and the other to the wall. The headboard sits on the upward facing angle making it very sturdy. You will also need to attach another piece of wood to the bottom of the headboard to keep it level.

Cut-It-Out Felt Rug<br />
Non-fraying felt makes this project a cinch, and the zebra motif will have your hallmates demanding where you found it. It's so simple you can adjust the technique to make a rug in just about any size or style, including a welcome mat.<br />
<br />
You'll need:<br />
Zebra rug template (download here)<br />
2 yards (72" wide) gray felt<br />
2 yards (72" wide) orange felt<br />
4 yards (72" wide) cream felt<br />
6' x 2' piece of 2" grid pattern paper<br />
Carbon paper and tracing wheel<br />
Pencil<br />
Scissors<br />
Fabric Glue</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVGehMoxYEwUxBY7zpGHlZrT2jTUhReHDCz4cgJc5tuBruLbmHI-YjkzQM5voT0jBVei3md9z47P9c8mnV4bYhHIdpltfp-hTivs4OJeTU36aztErl6u_rNBJd0kWhVhrEbRHjOfUBZA/s1600-h/pattern_piece.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376242381964706610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVGehMoxYEwUxBY7zpGHlZrT2jTUhReHDCz4cgJc5tuBruLbmHI-YjkzQM5voT0jBVei3md9z47P9c8mnV4bYhHIdpltfp-hTivs4OJeTU36aztErl6u_rNBJd0kWhVhrEbRHjOfUBZA/s400/pattern_piece.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 195px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a></div></div></div><br />
How to do it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div sizcache="4" sizset="34"><strong>Make the pattern.</strong>1. Using the zebra rug template (download <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Dorm_Decor_rug_pattern.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>), draw the zebra rug pattern onto the 2" grid pattern paper. Draw a 2" border around the edges and cut out the template around the outer edges.</div><strong>Cut out the pieces.</strong>2. Fold the gray felt in half lengthwise and lay it on the floor. Lay the template on the felt with the template's straight edge even with the fold in the fabric. Following the instructions on the carbon paper, trace the design onto the felt with the tracing wheel.<br />
3. Remove the template and carbon paper. Pin the layers of felt together and cut out the design.<br />
4. Repeat for the orange felt.<br />
<strong>Assemble the rug.</strong>5. Lay the cream felt out flat on the floor. Unfold the gray felt piece and lay it flat on top of the cream felt. Pin in place.<br />
6. Cut the cream layer to the same size as the outer edge of the gray felt. Glue the layers together with fabric glue and let the glue dry.<br />
7. Place the rug over the cream felt again and cut out another layer. Glue the layers together with fabric glue and let dry.<br />
8. Flip the rug over and place the orange piece in place, matching the raw edges. Pin the layers in place and glue them together.Chic and Cheap Lifestylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06876716848269559838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734225202222756341.post-61525758206341942182011-03-20T11:03:00.000-07:002011-03-20T11:03:57.383-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> My inspiration picture for the Chevron Rug DIY project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Even though the rug was hideously bland, it did have a couple of things going for it: it was big (8' x 10') and it had a really flat loop (like a fake sisal rug). The flat loop made it possible to use paint instead of dye for the stripes.<br />
<br />
Here's what I did:<br />
<br />
1. <i>Measure</i>. I knew that I wanted three zig zags stretching across the rug, so I measured out the spacing of the peaks, and drew three chalk lines across the rug to make sure the peaks were perfectly spaced.<br />
<br />
2. <i>Tape out the first peaks</i>. To get the first peak, I used my 45<sup>0</sup> triangle (from my drafting kit - leftover from engineer days! haha!) If you don't have the triangle, just measure it out. For tape, I used 2 strips of the 2" green painters tape, and overlapped it just a little bit.</div><div class="post-body entry-content"></div><div class="post-body entry-content"><br />

To keep the spacing perfect without measuring every single time, I made myself a little "jig" by overlapping two short pieces of tape. I used the jig to make sure that the spaces were the same width as the stripes.</div><div class="post-body entry-content"><br />

<br />
4. <i>Still taping</i>... Taping takes forever, but it's kind of fun seeing the pattern emerge.</div><div class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/__tuhP03YEXU/TJjlmi65kJI/AAAAAAAAAY4/A_tODtoPaOs/s1600/DSCN0593.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/__tuhP03YEXU/TJjlmi65kJI/AAAAAAAAAY4/A_tODtoPaOs/s200/DSCN0593.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="post-body entry-content"><br />
<br />
5. <i>Paint. </i>Finally it is time to paint! I used Benjamin Moore latex floor paint in black. It took most of a gallon. I did one coat, let it dry overnight, and then did the second coat the next day.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">*** update for people who have been wondering - I used small roller (about 3'' wide) ***</span></div><br />

<br />
<br />
7. <i>Remove tape. </i>Voila, you are done!<i> </i>I let it dry for a full day before we started walking on it.</div><div class="post-body entry-content"><br />
