DIY: chain necklace with bow

So, i dediced to make diy posts too. I like to create things from, let's say, "nothing".
All we need is a hair bow clip and a short chain necklace.













1. we remove the clip from the bow


2. we insert the chain where before it was the clip


My last image is with another kind of necklace, because at the end i decided to use this one.
Pretty, right?? and easy too :)

Another use for the "doughnut sock"


In the post before, i showed you how to create a doughnut sock and a sock bun.
Here is another way. If you don't want the bun, you can try this idea.
I think it looks nice and in this way, you will not end up with your hair all tangled.



If some of your are interested, i can make a stept by step for this style. 
I'll wait for your thoughts.

The perfect bun


You know what?! i never thought the perfect bun would includ a sock. Yep, a sock. Suprised?? Yes, i was too. But look at my bun, isnt it perfect???



Curious about it?? 
How to transform the sock 
1.First we need 1 sock, 1 long sock. I think its better a dark colour, like black or brown.



2. We have to cut the toe off.



3. Now we turn the sock on the other side.



4. Now we start rolling it.



5. And rolling.



6. Rolling again and closing it with the toeless part. Let's say that now we will have a doughnut.




How to create the bun

1.We need 2 hair elastics, some bobby pins and the sock.



2. With the big elastic we make a ponytail.



3. We pull the ponytail trough the center of the sock doughnut until is at the base and spread the hair around the sock (to hide it).


 





4. Now we use the second elastic, the little one. In this way we can keep the bun tight.



5. We tuck/ pin the hair ends around the bun.





6. All done, there we have the perfect bun. 




Its such an easy and fun idea. For me this is the saving bun, when i am in a hurry or not decided of what to do with my hair :P.
