From a couple days ago! A lil milky way ☺️💫
🌟 Tools: Cotton balls, jar, water, food coloring, glitter.

Heres a simple how to on how I made this:
⭐️ Mix food coloring with water, any combo you want, in separate containers.
⭐️Pour a little bit of the mixture into a jar. Then stuff cotton balls in the jar, leaving some space for more.
⭐️ Add a bit of glitter and use a stick you don’t mind getting dirty to mix/move the glitter around.
⭐️ Pour a bit of water. (opt.)
⭐️Add a bit more cotton balls/shred pieces of cotton balls (opt.)
⭐️ Pour the next colored mixture and repeat the steps and then done!!

Cool idea, but a jar full of wet cotton balls seems like a recipe for mold. Maybe you could use alcohol instead.

And if anyone makes this, I want to see pictures! Please share!

The tutorial text:

You need 10 yards of 54” wide tutu tulle fabric; two yards of 2” wide grosgrain ribbon (to match the tulle or not, up to you); strong thread; needle or sewing machine.

  1. At the very top of one of the long sides of the tulle, sew a row of running stitches, each about ½” long and ½” away from the next. Don’t tie a knot on either end;  you want like a foot of thread hanging off each side of the tulle. Now make an identical row of stitches ¼” below the first row.
  2. Wrap the tulle around yourself, the rows of stitches at your waist, and pull the threads to gather in the waistband of the skirt till it fits your waist. Good. Now tie the ends of the hanging threads into ball-y knots (don’t tie them to each other; you’re not closing the skirt) so they won’t slip back into the tulle
  3. Pin the ribbon over your line of stitches, leaving equal amounts hanging off the edges of the tulle. Sew the edge of the ribbon onto the outer edge of the tulle
  4. Tie that ribbon into a bow around your waist and hem the tulle by cutting it to your desired length. You could make the ends jagged for a Siouxsie Sioux look or cut it Maddona-esquely short, as in Who’s That Girl?. You are a genius, a little Degas.

NOTES FROM AUNTIE JILLI:

Go wild and add as many tulle layers as your heart desires! When I made this skirt, I ended up using something like 30 yards of tulle for 3 layers. I just checked, and tulle runs about $1.50 a yard at JoAnn Fabrics.

Remember, this is a see-through skirt! Leggings, shorts, bloomers, a slip – some sort of under layer is recommended. ::grin::

I moved my library around…sort of. The shelves were way too heavy to move so I swapped the drawers and clock around with the chairs. Now i have a chair directly across from my books so i can just sit and stare at them all day. 

this. this is a room from Belle’s house. or it would be.

I dream of having this many bookshelves.
