DIY Star Butterfly's Wand

Hey guys! In this tutorial I will be showing you how I made Star's magical wand. It is super easy and you probably already have all the materials required for this diy. Star's wand gets upgraded in every season so I'll be making her wand from season 3 which is the latest season. So let's get (star)ted!

#1 Take the cardboard pipe from an aluminium foil roll. Paint it dark purple with thick lilac stripes. Paint the bottom of the pipe yellow. Cutout the pink gem(the wand charger) and paste it inside the pipe at the bottom. The handle of your wand is almost ready.

#2 Now we are going to make the ball part of Star's wand. For this you'll need a bottle of glue, a brush, teared pieces of newspaper and a round balloon. Make sure the balloon is as round as possible to get that perfect ball shape. Using glue, stick the pieces of paper on the balloon. Stick at least 4-5 layers of paper on the balloon to make it sturdy. I let it dry for a week since it's winters and it takes time to dry otherwise it would be dry in a few days.

#3 After it is completely dry, pop the balloon and remove it. If you see that it is not holding it's shape that means that it wasn't completely dry and you need to work on your patience so give it time to avoid this. Now, paint the entire ball purple then make a small orange star on it. Make a bigger light yellow star around it and color some parts of this star mustard like in the picture. Paint a light blue circle around this star and then a dark blue star around the yellow star.

Cut out 5 pink stars and paste it as shown in the picture. Cut out the wings of the wand(make sure they are big) and paste it on either sides of the ball and paste 2 horns on it's top.

#4 Cut out a circle of the size of the mouth of the wand's handle. Paste it on the mouth of the handle and put tons of glue on the circle. Now, stick the ball on the mouth(I figured it was easier sticking it this way rather than directly sticking them together as the circle gives it something more to hold onto).

Cut out a big pink heart and paste it where the ball and the handle meet and paint a yellow stripe on either sides of the heart on the handle and your wand is ready to narwhal blast monsters!

Make sure to charge your wand so that it keeps functioning. You can buy the charger at Quest Buy just don't get lost or bump into Ludo(he was thrown into oblivion so that shouldn't be a problem) xD

Miraculous Halloween Costume

Spots on and Claws out

Witches and vampires are so cliche and Harley Quinn is so last year so this year for Halloween I've decided to dress up as characters from my favourite show, Miraculous Ladybug in honor of Season 2 coming out on 21st October which is today AHHHHH. Make sure you watch it because it's going to be super awesome and badass, I just know it. There's also going to be Marichat and lots of Adrienette, you know what I'm talking about.......*ahem*Okay so let's commence:

Alya Cesaire

Alya is a character from the famous cartoon show, Miraculous Ladybug and is a teen girl who is obsessed with superheros (ladybug in particular). She runs the Ladyblog and lives a teen life in the city of Paris.

Alya's extremely supportive, helpful and energetic. She has a very tom-boyish and chilled out look going on which is actually really easy to achieve.

You'll need an orange and blue checkered/plaid shirt. I got mine from Myntra. I chose a button-down shirt which has 2 pockets just like the one Alya's wearing and underneath it I'm wearing a plain white shirt(she's wearing one too). Then I took a pair of stone washed jeans and a pair of black spectacles.

For my hair, I just parted my bangs and since my hair is wavy and kinda like Alya's, I decided to leave it as it is. Using a black eyeliner I made a beauty spot on my forehead.

Now, Alya doesn't wear makeup so a light pink lipstick and a bold eyeliner *optional* is all you need for a natural look.

Want a prop? Use your phone(I'm not kidding). Alya always has her phone with her like 24/7. You can use the wallpaper she uses as her lock screen to fit more into the character and voila!

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Marinette is a clumsy yet kind, generous, cheerful and bubbly girl. She loves fashion, her friends, family and her crush, Adrien. She's a happy girl who cares for others and gets all lovey dovey over Adrien but when time comes she becomes the brave super heroine, Ladybug.

Marinette's style is cute, sweet and girly just like her.

First, take a plain white shirt and outline it's neck line and bottom line with a black waterproof marker. Then use transfer paper to transfer this flower design onto your shirt. Pair your shirt with pink capri(knee length leggings) and fold it at the bottom.

I couldn't find the exact same jacket that Mari's wearing so I opted for a black jacket and for the folded part I just printed out a pink polka dotted pattern on white sheet, curved it and stapled it to my jacket.

I made my hair into pigtails using red rubber bands and in the front I have my bangs.

For makeup, I chose to do a winged eyeliner, curled my lashes and put on some pink lipstick.

Can't forget Marinette's miraculous! For her earrings I painted some of my old earrings red and then using a marker, I made 5 black spots on it and there you have it, your DIY ladybug earrings.

Honestly, I'm super pumped about season 2, the marichat balcony scence, the big reveal, the ball #adrienette and guys, GABRIEL AGRESTE IS HAWK MOTH HOLY SH-

CHAT NOIR PURRED. HE FUCKING PURRED. I'M NOT OKAY.

Ahem sorry, I got distracted *cough* still not okay *cough* so..... that's it for this post. These were some really easy Halloween costume ideas, hope you liked them. Bug out!

It's been a while since I've done DIYs on this blog so instead of a regular fashion or beauty post I decided to write about room decor. Instead of giving you a list of furniture to buy, I'm sharing some of my favorite Tumblr inspired room decor which you can easily DIY!

The pictures I'll show you are pretty self explanatory so I'll not be writing much.I have given the links for the DIYs which I thought were not so clear by the pictures. Enjoy :*
