Have you ever experienced walking into a mall, say a department store and finding yourself lost and clueless of what to buy?

But fear not, Macy’s has put together a holiday gift guide is the answer to all these with thousands of great, unique gift ideas for any and all of your loved ones! It’s been always the best way to do shopping if you have a list prepared even before you set out for the mall.

DIY: Melted Bracelet

Published by clint mamuri

Materials: Plastic cover of any container or a plastic bottle Scissors Match/Candle (not shown in the picture) Rope (not shown in the picture) Step #1. Cut a strip from the plastic cover. Step #2. Melt the plastic strip until desired look is obtained. CAUTION: do this in a well ventilated area. Step #3. Cut the desired length of the melted plastic and cut 2 hole on either end. You could do anything with it by now. You can make it into a pendant, brooch, etc. For me I made it into a bracelet. Also you can use other materials for the bracelet like chain, leather, etc. Step #4. I just tied a rope on either end and just tied a loop on one rope and a knot on the other to make a simple lock for the bracelet. VOILA!!!

BLOG | PORTFOLIO | LOOKBOOK | TUMBLR | TWITTER | FACEBOOK Do you remember when you first became interested in fashion? The earliest memory of how fashion started to exist in my entity (and of what I am now) would probably when I started playing around with my clothes during high school. I really wanted to be different ever since. But unfortunately I wasn’t raised with a well-off kind of lifestyle. So I needed to exert more creativity ad effort on how I could flaunt my look. That time I still wasn’t aware of D.I.Y.s (Do It Yourself as we call it in Lookbook.)

I told myself that one day I’ll be part of this circle. Tell us about yourself and how you started blogging. I was a nurse for 3 years. It was a fun job but everyday seem repetitive.
