DIY: Chocolate covered strawberries with ice cube tray



I came across this ice cube tray chocolate covered strawberries idea via Pinterest but there was no tutorial. Heather from Where the young learn to fly however has a lovely step by step tutorial. Make sure you check it out here.

Instructions:
1. Cut the tops of strawberries and place pointy side down in an ice cube tray.
2. Melt some chocolate and pour it over the strawberries. Leave chocolate to harden in room temp.  Freezing is a bad idea and I don't think that refrigerating is much better.
3. Flip the tray over and cut into chunks.

Delish!

DIY: How to fix broken eye shadow



Here's a super easy DIY broken eye shadow fix by Free People! I have so many cracked eyeshadows as well as blushers that have gone to waste...

What you need
- Rubbing alcohol
- Your broken eye shadow.  

1. Pour a little rubbing alcohol into your eye shadow container — just enough so that the shadow is saturated.  
2. Smooth out the mixture. You can use your finger, a spoon, a wooden stick — anything that will flatten it out.  
3. Wait a few hours for the shadow to harden completely, and it will be as good as new!

Voila~! Thanks Free People for this fab trick! Make sure you check out their full tutorial here.

DIY: Cardboard box playhouse



Our brand spanking new washing machine arrived today and am now left with a great big box... I then remembered all the amazing cardboard box playhouses we used to make as a child! This playhouse has to be the cutest one yet. Check out full post by UK Konooa here!

Reducing waste whilst being the coolest mum ever. Inspired much?



Currently sketching...



I had a non eventful weekend so managed to sit down and doodle up a Kiwi with the same specs as mine. Thinking about calling it FunKi-wi. If you like it, I will make it available as a print for all my Funky Kiwi buddies!



DIY: Neon shoes with nail polish



Love Maegan has the hottest DIY Neon shoes tutorial using nail polish. Make sure you check out her full tutorial here.

Materials:
- Shoes in near natural/raw leather
- Rubbing alcohol, cloth and q-tips
- Nail polishes, including white
- Nail polish remover and a fine or thin/angled paintbrush.
- Paint brushes
- Painter's tape

1. Using your painter's tape, tape off all areas of your shoe that you don't wish to paint.
2. Using rubbing alcohol, treat all the areas of the shoes you're going to paint by simply taking a cotton swab doused in alcohol and rubbing it on.
3. Begin with your white paint as a primer and cover all areas that are to be painted. Let you dry over night.
4. Begin painting on your bright neon colors. Use your lightest color first as you can easily paint over any mess ups with your darker color.
5. Let your first coats on all areas dry overnight. Once completely dry, cover each area with a second coat.
6. Using nail polish remover, tidy up any mess-ups.

Voila! Thanks Love Maegan for this HOT tutorial!
