DIY: Polaroid Clothesline

-


Hello there! 
So, I have been such a slacker blogger and have not posted since Monday :( I am so sorry. I have been super busy spending time with all my friends since the majority of them leave this weekend to return to college.
But, this post is a great way to get back in the swing of things! It is a DIY that I found off of Pinterest which I am going to put in my dorm room. 
I move back in one week so I will do a dorm room tour as soon as I am settled in. Until then, here is what I am making to spice up the corners of the room with photos! I did this trial run and took these pics to give you a visual of the DIY project. I put the clothesline up in my living room.




You will need:
- Wood Clothespins
- Tacks
- Scissors
- Twine / Twisted Mason Line / String (whichever you can get your hands on)
- Polaroids / Printed out photos




First off, you will need to cut the string long enough the hold as many photos as you want. I printed out 40 polaroids but for this tutorial am putting six across each line. 
You then want to hang the line into a wall using the tacks. If you can't push tacks into your wall (i.e. if it is good old college cinderblock, then you could also keep the line up with clear or colorful tape/adhesives. 
Then you just hang the photos on the line using the clothespins and VIOLÀ! 

I am excited to show you my version in my dorm. 
What do you think of this DIY? 
Would you do this in you dorm?
Do you think I should add little extra bits in between the polaroids - maybe cut out shapes or regular printed photos? 
Hope you enjoyed!
xx

    This is such a good idea for dorm rooms since you cant "damage" the walls. Love it so much and I really enjoyed reading your blog!

      You can even do it just across somewhere - not necessarily in a corner! If you give it a try send me a picture!!

    I love fun and easy DIY posts like this! I wish I had space in my room to do this.
    The extra bits definitely would spice the line up a bit. How about painting the pegs though? I'd love a good string of rainbow pegs or glitter pegs. Okay I'm getting ahead of myself LOL!
    Can't wait to see how you decorate your dorm.

    Thank you for dropping by and commenting! :)

      Ooh glitter clothespins - YESSS!!!! That's such an awesome idea - I debated painting them but wasn't sure what colors but if I did glitter then it would be magnificent haha.

      I'm glad you like this! Give it a try - you can always just keep it horizontal across a wall (don't need a corner).

Monthly Favorites | August

SO, after over a week of not having my laptop to be able to blog on, I finally have it returned and fixed! I am so relieved and now without further ado, here are all of monthly favorites from August, starting with the beauty products and a book: - Philosophy's Purity Facial Cleanser is amazing! I used it for about three weeks with the Clarisonic and now that I am at college again (without my mother's Clarisonic), I have been using it just by itself. As I work it into a lather, I can feel my skin being refreshed. I really enjoy the general scent of it and so far I like how it has been cleaning my face.  - Now, everyone and their mother has been talking about the Maybelline Color Tattoos and I thought I would hop on the bandwagon and give them a whirl. I really have been enjoying 'Bold Gold' and 'Tough as Taupe'. They are extremely matte and I have been finding that I don't need to wear an eye primer underneath because the shadow remains matte a

Flower Love

My little sister Mary, who is almost 13, makes headbands, bows, and clips for her hair out of cut material from old shirts and cheap fake flowers from the store... and they are amazing !! She is already a beauty/fashion guru in the making. I feel so inspired by her to be more creative with styling my hair, while saving a bit of money :) So here are some photos of her clips and headbands: Flower Love was inspired by a photo we saw on Pinterest*. She immediately wanted to recreate the look with a fishtail braid when we saw it because she just bought some daisies that looked quite similar. Here's me casually sitting in some grass modeling her work... (Secret: I was actually wearing boxer shorts underneath this dress and a car filled with attractive guys  drove by... I was kind of maybe a bit mortified because when standing you could definitely see the boxers. Needless to say, we ran and hid). Flower Power are two of her flower headbands that, in my opinion, are just

August Music!

Hello there!  Here is the music I have been loving this month. I have been listening to a lot of indie rock and alternative bands lately. If you haven't heard of some of these, check them out and let me know what you think! Ellie Goulding - I am assuming that anyone who hasn't been living underneath a rock has heard of my girl Ellie. She has been my favorite singer for the past five years and I can't believe how big she has gotten! Her music is so inspiring, beautiful, and exciting. She keeps cranking out new music and it is so incredible. Here are three of her latest singles: Burn You My Everything Ritual American Authors - I have been listening to them on repeat. They are an American-indie rock band from Brooklyn, NY and they just have such a great vibe. I definitely think their song "Best Day of My Life" has been my summer song! Check these out: Best Day of My Life Best I Could Do Believer Foals - These guys are awesome. They are an
