Fairy Kei inspired necklace tutorial

hello kitty cats! this is my first tutorial. c: it's super low quality because i was in a rush to get it done so i could post it tonight. (i know, i know. bad rae!) but here goes nothing!

so basically i made a simple fairy kei inspired necklace out of pony beads, Bead N Strech, and a unicorn Sun Catcher. i got everything i needed at Wal-Mart for around $10 and it was all on the same aisle. :3 sweet!!

For those of you who have nooo idea what a Sun Catcher is, it's a clear piece of plastic that's shaped like an object, animal, ect. you paint them and traditionaly you hang them up in your window and the sun rays create really pretty colors! i know they aren't exactly ideal for jewelry making, but i couldn't resist a cute unicorn. ^_^'  plus the necklace turned out super cute, so they're a very great cheaper alternative to traditional jewelry making stuff.

Let's begin!

Supplies:
• Sun Catcher
• Sun Catcher Paint
• Pony Beads
• Bead N String
• Scissors
• Paper Plate [optional]
• Clear Nail Polish [optional]

Step One: Paint your Sun Catcher according to the directions on the back of the package. (the paint is very liquidy, so it's hard to use the usual painting motion.)

Step Two: Let your Sun Catcher set out to dry. (i let mine sit out all night just to be safe.)

Step Three: Set up your pony beads, scissors, and string. Determine how long you want your necklace and cut the string. It's easier to use the pony beads when you pour them onto a paper plate or other flat surface.

Step Four: Run the string through the little hole on your Sun Catcher. Then pick the string up and hold it in the air, letting your Sun Catcher fall into the middle of the string. Move the ends of the string to match up evenly on both sides.

Step Five: Begin beading! But be careful not to use too many beads otherwise your string won't tie properly.Once your finished beading your necklace, tie the ends of the string into a knot.. or a triple know. c: If your worried about security, you can use clear nail polish on the knot for extra hold.

Step Six: Wear it and enjoy! c:

I hope that wasn't too lengthy. ^_^' if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! if you actually make one of these, show me! :D

goodbye now, kitties!

Hello kitty cats!

my name is Raeann Universe and it's a pleasure to meet you all! this is my random blog about nothing. c: i guess i'll tell you about me.

i'm eighteen-years-old, my birthday is November 4th. i'm engaged to Blayne Martin and we're currently pregnant with our first child. (i'm 9 months as i'm  writing this.)  it's a boy. :3 i live in a suburban town in Alabama. i'd much rather be in Brooklyn, NY. i prefer big cities because they're much more interesting than the smaller ones. my dream is to own a successful clothing brand. i adore making clothes. my sewing machine is my main girl. <3 her name is Swazey and she's a Singer. c; okay. sorry about the bad sewing machine pun... xD but i do really love Swazey because she's my first and with her, i can make sooo many things. anyway...

my hobbies are sewing, blogging, reading, video games, films, anime and manga, cooking, shopping, and sleeping. i absolutely LOVE science. if i wouldn't have dicked around in high school, i probably would've became a scientist. buuuut i actually didn't discover my love of science until i left school. the irony. i dream of one day becoming a cyborg, kinda like the people on Ghost In The Shell. yes, yes. it's fiction. but when the Technological Singularity happens (2045!) i'm sure we'll have no need for organic bodies. xD i just hope fashion is still a thing in the future. o:

i idolize: Nikki Lipstick, Kelley Eden, Verena Schizophernia, Pastel Bat, and a cloud of not-so-famous bloggers. i probably wouldn't even be into blogging if it wasn't for them. they're so kawaii and beautiful. ^~^

i love: cats, unicorns, lilac, nail polish, the Sims, shopping malls, DIY projects, Workaholics, Tumblr, Noel Fielding, MC5, Fairy Kei, drag queens, Decora Kei, biographies, coloring, Pastel Goth, graphic design, glasses, Hime Gyaru, Asians, Western Europeans, New York Dolls, Lolitas, horror movies, Daria, xbox 360, vintage cars, indie music, The Ramones, and the list goes on.

i have no religion. i'm socialist. Peace and Freedom party. <3

I absolutely love DIY stuff. everything from making clothes to making furniture. i'll probably post tutorials and product reviews of things i use.

hmm. i hope that wasn't too long! sorry if it was. please feel free to follow this, my Google +, Tumblr, Facebook, and youtube channel. (i'll link stuffs later.) i looove having people to talk to, so message me on any of this sites or even email me! >^_^< okie dokie.

bye kitties!!! <3
