The Retro Glam Girl Gets CRAFTY

 

Okay, so I have decided to save a little money on face toner and make my own.

I read that you can use ALCOHOL as toner and I am talking about the kind you mix a cocktail with!

As soon as I read this I ran to my liquor cabinet and checked out the goods. The blog I read said to stick to a clear alcohol. I had a few bottles of Gin left over from some holiday parties. These were generic bottles so I did not mind. I washed my face, put some gin on a cotton ball and did a little swipe test. Lots of gunk on the cotton! It worked.

I must admit my hubby thought it was odd that I had a bottle of Gin in the bathroom and may have thought I took to sneaking drinks in there! The bottle was big and rather bulky so I thought I would look for something smaller.  I did a quick run over to Michael's ( Craft Store) and found these totally cute glass bottles with cork tops. I thought it would be GREAT for my Gin FACE Cocktail.

 

I wanted it to match my vanity set up which is made up of classic monsters and pin up girls. I decided to decoupage my bottle with a lovely picture of Vampira. With the aid of some MOD PODGE and a little rhinestone I had a cute bottle to add to my vanity!

 

The bottle was actually on sale at Michael's and was $7.00 however with my 50% off coupon I got it for $3.50. The picture of Vampira was simply printed off the Internet and the little rhinestone I had

from a previous project.

 

 

Because of this project I got even more inspired and ended up making this:

 

Lilly Munster Necklace

 

While at Michael's I found a bunch of round necklace pendants with epoxy stickers on sale. I bought them with a particular project in mind. My cousin had given me some rosaries she had purchased in bulk on a down town LA shopping trip. They were different colors and I loved the beads. With the aid of some pliers, jump rings and clasps, I was able to construct this necklace. I just printed a picture

of Lilly and cut it to fit inside the pendant and then put the epoxy sticker over it.

 

And...

 

it didn't stop there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found these green flowers at the 99 cent store. I just added another

Epoxy sticker, a little glitter glue and I had a new hair pin! I also added a little

rhinestone to this.

 

I got a little crazy on the monster glam but I had such a fun time!
