DIY: Cardboard Desk Organiser

Hi everybody! 

Sorry that it took so long for me to upload another post, but it has been a rough couple of weeks. School is almost over and all the teachers suddenly decide to give us a gazillion assignments before final exams. And me being a good planner and organiser (NOT) I had a bit trouble fulfilling these assignments. But all is well now and the last thing on my list this year is making my exams as good as possible. 

When you're studying or supposed to , you suddenly have a lot of free time (free time= time that you should actually use to prepare yourself for final exams). In my case I start doing lot's of things that have nothing to do with school. For example, making myself  a little cardboard desk organiser. haha

Now all you need to make one like this , is:

- 3 cardboard boxes

- Lot's of pictures, cards, magazines,...

- tape (I used paper tape to write and paint on)

- scissors

- stuff to fill it up :P

LET'S START

 First thing you need to do, is place the boxes on top or next to each other. I chose to put them on top of each other. This is totally up to you! Go on, be a free spirit! 

Once you found the perfect construction, tape them to each other. Make it really sturdy. 

You can also tape a little box or boxes in these boxes like I did in the second box. 

box boxes boxes box box boxes. 

Now it's time for the fun part! 

DECORATING and making a mess!!! 

Just start attaching all kinds of pictures, cards, articles,.. to the box until you can't see the cardboard anymore. This is what the left side looks like. 

For the corners I cut out triangular pieces. 

This is the result of the right side. 

I decided to keep the squares on the right side open and finished them off with tape. 

I chose to draw a zebra pattern on the tape of the second square to make it a little bit more chaotic.

I colored the square on the ground floor black. So now we have a white, zebra and black window. 

Now this is the result of my little cardboard desk organiser. woehoe! I should really start studying now... 

I hope you liked this DIY and let me know if I should make more. 

See you laters alligators!

Baking Time: Apple Turnovers

When I get bored, I eat. Mostly I'm too lazy to make myself something and just take some ready made food. 

Now I decided to bake something! Apple Turnovers!

YOU NEED

PUFF PASTRY (Bought mine in Aldi)

APPLES

YOLK

SUGAR and CINNAMON

LET'S BAKE

First I made the apple turnover's filling. I took a pot and cut the apples into little squares. Then I added a huge amount of sugar and cinnamon to give it a little taste. To make the mix a little bit more juicy, I let it rest for a few minutes, then stirred it and let it rest again.

In the meantime I cut little circles out of the puff pastry. This I did with help of a little plastic bowl.

When your pastry exists of just a few little circles we can start filling them up. 

I used a little fork to stick the two ends together

Then it's time to make them even sweeter. Decorate your turnover with some sugar. Use yolk to make the sugar stick to the pastry.

Make sure to poke some holes in the turnover so the edges won't split.

Now bake them in a preheated over at 200°C for about 15-20min en VOILA! 

hmmmm! enjoy!

I'll see you laters alligators!

OOTD: Renewing The Old Shirts

Hi everybody. 

In this outfit the main character is the second hand shirt I found. It's comfy, wide and most important (to me) a bit large. As long as I can wear leggings underneath it without anybody seeing my butt or cameltoe, I'm happy. haha

The bag is from my grandma

 Shoes: Timberland

Necklace and Earrings: Forever 21

Nails for the week

I'm really loving the print and colors on this shirt.

 Laters Alligators!

DIY: Earringholder Open Box Thingy

Hi guys, the first DIY is here. And it's an open box to plug your little earrings in so you have a organised view of which earrings you have, and thus easier to pick which ones you want to wear.

YOU NEED

 !You will also need something to cut your foam, like a knife or scissors

 LET'S GET STARTED

Cut the foam with a length same as your box. And width same as your box but minus 2cm or so. The depth of the foam is up to you. But make sure your earrings can go through without touching the bottom of the box yet. Otherwise it won't look as good because it will pop out a bit. (unless this is what you want)

Now here's the fun part. Poke your earrings in the foam. The organisation is fully up to you! I did mine partially by color and partially by theme. 

To finish it off, just put all the locks of the earrings in the gap you left open (+- 2cm). This way you can just try on the earring without having to take of the lock and put it on again, just to realise it doesn't go with your outfit. We all know it can get messy. But doing it like this you can just try on and try on your earrings till you find the right one. .....and ... then....put a lock on it. 

I hope you liked this DIY. And I certainly hope it will help you organise your accessories a bit more. Man, my English is bad, but giving instructions in English is even worse. I do hope you understand me. haha. if not, thank god for the invention of photos! haha
