I decided to go with a back to school DIY and yes I know, I've been posting oh so randomly! Because I love to blog I've broken the rule by posting almost every other day! ^_^

Anyway, this DIY should help you jazz up your boring school notebooks or any book for a matter of fact!

You will need: A Fabric, A pencil with an eraser end, Fabric Paint, Notebook, Fevicol/ModPodge/Hot Glue Gun, Paint Brush, Scissors, Jump Clips.

This a simple and easy DIY to do to make your notebooks look and feel a little out of the ordinary. Hand stamping is fun way to make a pattern on fabric and takes very little time. 

Now, you want to measure up the amount of fabric you would need to cover your notebook. Make sure to take a little more fabric than what is exactly needed and use your scissors to cut the needed length. Place your fabric up right on a flat surface. Dip the eraser end of your pencil into the fabric paint you want to use. Here, be creative and use any color you want. You can make it an ombre pattern or a multi colored pattern but for that you will need more pencils with eraser ends. Stamp the fabric till you are satisfied with the result. It need not be perfect, the beauty of it is the imperfection. So, don't worry about it.

Let the fabric dry. Meanwhile, apply a generous amount of modpodge/fevicol or use your hot glue gun, if you can work with it and carefully use the fabric to cover up the notebook. 

Once you have covered the notebook, use the jump clips to hold the fabric in place and leave it undisturbed for a few hours. After it dries, all you need to do is fold the excess fabric into the notebook and glue it in or you can carefully cut the excess fabric using scissors to the exact shape of your notebook.

Now you have a hand stamped notebook that looks just as fashionable and elegant as you!

Get creative and experiment with colors!

I'm crazy about hearts this year. I've been planning this DIY for quiet sometime now! So I got inspired to making this DIY when I saw wall hangings in a furnishing store. So, I set off to the craft store and grabbed the biggest heart punch they had and went home to punch my crafty little heart out. 

Use the punch and punch away as many hearts as you can.  For this set up in the picture, I needed 20 garlands with 6 hearts each. I used 6 colors & only needed 20 hearts of each color, plus a few extra to mix and match here and there.

Once all of your hearts are cut out, make 20 sets of 6. Try and mix up the colors so each stack is a little different. Cut a piece of fishing line and strand your garland on the table with tape. Fishing line is a bit tricky to work with and you can lose your pieces really easily. Set up a work space on the floor. Measure the distance  from the ceiling to where you want the last heart to land.  Tear off ten pieces of scotch tape and place five on each end about six inches apart. Take the fishing line and pull it out 12 inches. Tape it down at one end of the floor and pull the spool down to the second piece of tape. Tape the line taut and cut. Start at the other end and tape down four more pieces. Once your lines are taped, add each set of hearts by lining up the center of the heart underneath each line, about a foot apart. Repeat until you have all of your hearts under the lines. Check and move colors around until it looks fabulous!

Then take a small piece of tape and attach each heart to the line. Make sure all of your hearts are attached before peeling back the painters tape and hanging. Hang your garlands one at a time, starting five feet from the wall, and hang one garland to the edge of your photo booth area.  Add the remaining garlands 1 foot apart, also attaching to the ceiling.  Hang the rest of the garlands and repeat with the next two rows.

You can make as many garlands as you want and store them. Keep them in separate ziplock covers to keep the garlands from tangling.

Once they are all hung, pop in the middle of them and smile! These would be really fun in an ombre where the color is fades as it gets closer to the floor or even just a solid color. This is one of those projects  that just makes me happy in my heart!

Another great thing about this project is that you can make them in practically any shape! You needn't necessarily buy a punch you can just cut the colored card stock into strips of paper in a solid or ombre fashion and do the same as above! It would just look amazing. Check this one out!
