No sew valance

I have been wanting to change my kitchen valance for quite a while. My hubby helped me pick out a great design ( $10 a yard at Joann's), And I made it in about 20 minutes once we got home.

Here is what you will need:
- fabric of your choice
- heat n bond ultra hold
- ruler
- iron and ironing board

Cut your fabric into the amount you are going to use. I measured mine by an old valance I had.
Remove both sides of the heat n bond. Lay it on the sides of your valance.



As you fold the edges over, press with the iron.
On the other side, make a wide loop around your curtain rod to get the shape. Put your heat n bond down and iron in your wide loop.



Allow a few minutes for it to cool before hanging it on your rod. Note the importance of measuring with a ruler by my picture below. I just eyeballed it at first, and had to go back and redo the bottom to make it straight!

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers.  Oh and use my  code  at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes  2-12.  This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress   Mary Jane Ballet Flats     Large Flower hair clips   Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats.    Off Shoulder Ruffle Dress   Lavender Flats   2nd Option mini flower hair clips   Large Flower hair clips Halloween costumes always have a short sexy option, right? A short tulle flor

90s Style Categories

  Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s.  I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
