Tutorial: Cute ways to wear a man's shirt



The other day I was watching tutorial videos on YouTube and I saw this video with the title "How a Girl Should Put a Man's Shirt", I clicked on it and was left fascinated. I have always found beautiful how a woman could turn man's clothing into something cute and chic. I want to buy a boy's t-shirt and wear it as a dress, and now that I've seen this I also want to buy a man's shirt to try all this beautiful looks. If I had a boyfriend, of course I would ask him to lend me one of his. ;) Sure there are countless of tutorials for wearing man's shirt but most of them require to cut and sew. Anyway, I thought I would share this with you girls so you can also try this looks. I'm posting the video below, but I also decided to take some screenshots of the steps and final looks in case they delete the video from YouTube, because so many times I have discovered so many amazing videos and when I go searching for them again I find that they have been deleted or the user has erased the account. By taking the screenshots I am in no way taking credit for it; all credit goes to the person who uploaded the video. Here is the video:


And here is the tutorial illustrated in images and briefly explained by me.
Note: the left sleeve should be bent down when you wrap the right one around it.

This is how the back is tied. 


As soon as I learn how she tied the bow I'll update. :)

Tutorial: Lucky Wishing Stars!


This cute little baby stars are super easy to make and they make great decoration.  It's a great way to recycle used paper. I find that magazine paper is more sturdy than regular white paper. Stars made out of magazine paper end up being more colorful than a regular one plain colored paper. They look more interesting made with written paper or like I said magazine paper. It's very important that the paper you use is not to tough because it might break when you pull it to form the star. So, without further ado here is the tutorial part: 

What you need:
1. Strip of paper: 1.5cm X 23cm
2. Ruler
3. Scissors

Directions:

And that's it. Easy right! At first it may be a little difficult to achieve a proportioned star. I had to do it like 3 times before I could get it right. Practice makes perfect. After you make one, you will want to be making more and more. They are fun too make. You can make them any size you want, just play with it. If you want a bigger star, the strip needs to be wider and longer. You can write a wish on each star and place them in a jar. It makes a cute decoration item for your room. Simple and cute. Here is a picture of my wishing jar:


I even made a ribbon star (the white star on the left), it's basically the same steps the only difference is that you need to sew (pulling inwards) between the points of the pentagon so that it forms a star, otherwise it will be a pentagon. You can also fill it a little bit with plush fluff before you tuck the end into the inside flap (step 7). And I also sew all around the star so it will maintain it's shape. For this star I used a white satin ribbon I had laying around.
