Zebra print coasters...diy
Okay so I've been on a DIY kick lately. I had bought some fabric from Tonic Living a while ago and it's literally been sitting in my closet waiting to be used so I came up with two DIY's.
First are these coasters, they are super easy to make...
I bought the cork in a round shape from the dollar store, the fabric is from Tonic Living and the laminating sheets are from Walmart. You will also need a glue gun and glue sticks.
(I forgot to take pictures of the process) you basically trace your round cork onto the fabric, then cut out the shape you just traced. Then take your laminating sheets and laminate your fabric! Yes you need to do this to protect the fabric from the condensation from the drinks. You can also use heavy duty specialty printed paper and skip the laminating step, either way just make sure if your coaster gets wet that it doesn't get ruined! Final step is to cut out the round piece of fabric that you just laminated this will detach it from the laminating sheet, hot glue it onto the circular pieces of cork and voila instant chic!
The second DIY is some table runners in the same fabric. All I really did was decide on a length I liked then I cut and used a no sew tape ( also found at the dollar store) to make my clean edges, although you could also fray the edges for a less polished look.
And that's all, now I have some great new accessories for the holiday season and year round!

A warm throw for fall
Okay so you all heard about my love of warm chai latte's in the fall season, and what better to curl up in while sipping away at your latte then a beautiful throw. I found this one at Winners the other day while on my search for a milk frother. I love it! it's so warm and cozy and not only does it look so luxurious from a distance, the detail is the icing on the cake. Yup that's right tiny chevron print! I am in LOVE! check it out in my reading nook.
Oh and while I was out I also picked up this cup zebra print mini makeup bag ( you know for the days when you need to freshen up your makeup on your way to a night out straight from work!) Guess where I got it from?...click {here} for the answer.
have a great weekend everyone!
