Pimp my calculator!

Hai my fabulously frugal fashionistas! I'm sorry that I've been MIA for like ever! I'm going to try my best to keep up with the blog because I just joined the cast of my high school's production of LEGALLY MUSICAL (thats legally blonde if ya didnt know!). I will be playing Brooke Wyndham ;) so I wont have a lot of time. but here's a quick tutorial I thought you all might like.

OK so as you all may or may not know, I'm currently taking ap calculus -__________-. And when you take AP Calculus you are required to have an over-priced Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator (TI 83 Plus REPRESENT, it was cheaper than the TI 84, ayeee). And as boring as AP Calc may be, I found a way to make life easier :) BEDAZZLE YOUR CALCULATOR COVER

OK so this is what you're going to need.
Bucket O' Bling (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kids-Crafts-Bucket-of-Bling-Assorted-Acrylic-Jewels/17753258) this is what I'm referring to..
A hot glue gun
Your graphing calculator (or a standard scientific calculator)
IMAGINATION.

Okay, so here's a picture of what I sort of mean..
but completely covered :D
Dizerections!
-Take the cover of your calculator and sit it on a shopping bag/towel to protect your work area
-while your glue gun is heating up, lay out your gems in the pattern you want and take a picture of it using your camera phone.
-glue the gems on & clean up your calculator for excess hot glue :)
-ENJOY.

Just a quick little update

Ok guys & gals, I'm currently working on new ideas so be patient! I just got some spikes in the mail yesterday and I'm busy trying to find inventive new ways to use them! ($9.99 for a pack of 100 gold spikes). I really want this blog to be perfect for both you and I so I have to work with my new hardware for a little :-) I can't tell you exactly what I'm working on QUITE YET, but when I do, your socks will be completely rocked off.

How About You DO IT YOURSELF : cutout skull tees

WOW, isnt this shirt amazeballs?? Well I'm gonna show you how to make it! This is what you're gonna need:
-Scissors
-tailor's chalk (or you could use a marker, but I'd suggest tailors chalk since it IS cheap.. you could probably even use regular chalk, but I've never tried using regular chalk so if you do, tell me how it worked out for you!)
-A flat surface
-A shirt you dont mind cutting up
-you dont really need it but here's a template if you WANT it. http://images.coplusk.net/project_images/37637/image/full_skull1.jpg THE OTHER HALF http://images.coplusk.net/project_images/37638/image/full_skull2.jpg
-IMAGINATION
-whatever other doohickies you'd like to add :3

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.
-either sketch out where you're going to cut, or use the template & trace
-cut out your holes
-I suggest stretching where you cut so you can hide any uneven spots
-wear the heck out of your shirt!

Okay that was a REALLY easy tutorial, I'm pretty sure I KNOW that you can do it :-)

please comment below & tell me how yours came out & tell me what you wanna read on my blog next!
