DIY tee restyle

 This restyle is really simple and a great addition to your summer wardrobe. I'm sorry that I'm not staying true to the seasons, but...i've been wanting to make this one for a while. So here you go!
Before:
So, the dying on this shirt isn't really what i had wanted it to be, so i thought i might make the top more interesting.
 
 First, you'll want to cut off the sleeves about 2 or 3 inches away from the neckline and keep cutting in a strait line towards the end of the top. you should probably end the cut about halfway down the shirt.

 
Now cut the sides so that you end up with the front disconnected from the back, with the exception of where the neckline is.
 
 
 Then all you have to do is tie the ends of the shirt together and you have a simple yet interesting top!

It can also make a great exercise shirt if paired with a sports bra.

hope you found this useful! :)
And don't be afraid to act upon mere impulse, love, Ex Mero Motu XOXO

D.I.Y secret notes- two types



so, i just love these! they make passing notes all the more interesting :)
The first is a general envelope note and the second is a love note ;) you'll see!

For these you can use just a normal piece of origami paper or a square piece of any paper, really! For the second one, you need to fold it in half and cut it so you get a heart <3

 
tada! this can also be used as an envelope, but you know, there's no rules in crafting!
 
 
i have to say, this one's my personal favorite! it's so darn cute! turning a heart into an envelope (maybe for your significant other *wink wink*) is a really creative idea for a message.
and sorry for getting the order of the pictures different in the directions, i'm sorry :( i didn't realize it until after i made them!
hope you like! love, Ex Mero Motu
