Have You Seen This Dress?


From Wet Seal. http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=104&subCategoryId=124&productId=17980


I've come to realize that when I ask for help, you know I
really want it.

Unfortunately, being Canadian does have its down falls. This in particular is one... ships only to the US.

Here's what I question... now I can't ask random 'readers' to send me a dress and I'll pay... or I could. BUT to save the whole exchange rate hassle etc.

Has anyone seen the same dress if not similar else where? Big points if it's within Toronto too :)

Tutorial: Creating Your Own Brush Holder / MakeUp Case

Note: This is MY (cherzmaster) way of doing this. A very crafty and affordable way to place your makeup & brushes.

What You'll Need:
You can find the following items from the dollar store ;)

- Square Oven/Pot mitt (any colour your like)

- Velcro (optional)

- Mini Sewing Kit (optional - if you can't sew please ask for assistance from someone who can. I don't want you getting hurt!!!)



Directions:
For this tutorial I'm using 2 (two) oven mitts.

If you're creating a removable pouch, use the velcro to stick your Mitts together.

If you're creating a makeup case, sew the Mitts together by their side, pouch opening facing up.


Optional Idea:
You can put velcro/zipper on the top rim so items won't slip out.

Now you can decorate it to your hearts desire or stick a belt through the holes and use it as a brush belt.

ENJOY!!!
