Hopefully
you are ready for a beach day because that is the focus of this week’s blog
post. The colour we chose is again in the Tarte eyeshadow palette and it is
called “Beach Therapy” and it is a matte peachy/sandy shade.
Our focus is
getting you beach ready so we have some great crafts that you can take with you
on your beach day as well as a must pack list of items to make you comfortable
for your beach day.
Crafty DIY’s
Something
that is so easy and great to take with you to the beach, are DIY decorated flip
flops. All you need is a pair of plain flip flops (you choose the colour you
like) and then you can find some little adornments that you can hot glue gun to
them. You can do a sparkly jewel theme, a shell theme, or any other idea that you
may come up with. You can just attach one big flower to each and spruce up the
plain pair of flip flops just like that!
Take a look
at this for inspiration...
Another cool idea we saw was this beach hat. The one in the link below
is inspired by a watermelon but you can do any pattern or design that you like.
You just need to find a big straw sun hat and some craft/fabric paint and then
you can create whatever you like and it’ll keep you protected at the beach and
be a fashion statement! You can also add some ribbon (by hot gluing) or other
decorative elements (by hot gluing or sewing) if you like.
Something really cool that we found is a decorated cooler. Even your
cooler should be stylish at the beach. For this one you’ll need a cooler, preferably
a white one, and then you can paint it to a colour that you like and decorate
it with vinyl pieces that you can cut out and make whatever shapes you want.
Here are a few more things that you can make for the beach (an
umbrella, a cover up, and a towel) which take a bit more effort to make. These
do require some more skill, haha, so if you are adventurous, then give these a
go.
