Room Inspiration







I'm currently in the process of moving into my new room, which gives me a great excuse to redecorate! 
So I felt the need to post some photos that are currently inspiring me. I am loving white walls paired with pops of colourful cushions. I have my furniture all picked out, so I can't wait to get to the fun part of picking the finer details. I have been spending a lot of my spare time browsing through Urban Outfitters Apartment section and putting together a list of my ideal buys.
I can only hope that my room will look as amazing as those above!

Neon Necklace



 
   



I decided to make a neon wooden necklace for an upcoming window. It was incredibly easy to make and turned out really well. 

The steps are simple.
First you need to find some scraps of wood. Small pieces are fine as you won't need them to be very big, and keep in mind your triangles don't need to be perfect.

Next organise a shape that you like. It's important to keep it balanced, otherwise once you go to wear it it will not sit properly and be a bit lopsided. You will need to drill a hole on either side in order to thread through the string.

Before painting on the neon, be sure to paint a base colour. I used some white undercoat paint I had lying around. 

Next you need to paint on the neon. My necklace is pretty full on with colour (it had to suit my theme for my window),  but if I was making another one I think I would take out a colour.

I then stuck it all together using a hot glue gun, which worked well. Lastly thread through some string for the necklace!
