Music Monday's

I have had two songs on repeat this whole entire week. The BYU Library announces that they're closing at 11:45 then proceed to play horribly OBNOXIOUS songs (trust me I'm there till midnight all the time) that make you wanna get outta there as fast as you can… usually. However, last week there was an exception. They played Paradise from Coldplay's newer album Xylo Myloto. Simply amazing… 

and the other I heard from Pandora. I used to absolutely HATE pandora because they played a commercial every other song and they always played songs I didn't like. I created a new station and it was spot on to everything I love. I have had this song on repeat for the past few nights while I'm falling asleep. We Don't Eat by James Vincent McMorrow.

Enjoy!

Shredded Scarf DIY Tutorial

This craft is a cliché craft found on Pinterest and I hate being THAT girl, but I did have this shirt lying around and wasn't really putting it to use… It is REALLY REALLY EASY to make and takes about 15 minutes to make.

Items needed:

Big old T-shirt 

Scissors

1. Cut T-shirt armpit to armpit. 

2. Cut off the bottom hem

3. cut 1-1 1/2 in slits horizontally. DON'T cut all the way to the other side, leave about 1inch of uncut shirt.

4. Take your slits and STRETCH them out.

5. Gather the scarf together from the uncut side

6. Cover the bunched up area with your left over scraps or other scraps you have lying around.

From Ingrid Michaelson's new album "Human Again" This is War is such a great song.

DIY headbands

I have a big problem with any other kind of headband besides these. The other ones give me a headache for some reason (maybe my head is weirdly shaped?). I have bought a couple of headbands similar to this one in the past but after looking at it I figured out it was probably pretty easy to make.

1. Cut 2 rectangles. 18x4 and 10x3.

2. Sew both of them right sides together, only on the long side, don't sew the ends shut.

3. Turn both right side out.

Here's where it gets tricky

4. Sew about 5 in of thick elastic on the inside of the smaller rectangle. Make sure the elastic goes to both ends of the fabric. 

5. Sew the ends together of the two rectangles.

Finished!
