D.I.Y Open when letters

Looking for idea for presents always is a task but i was looking through pinterest and came across these open when letters. I thought this was such a cute idea that whoever your making them for could keep them forever

How to make them you say? 

There are loads of different ideas to make here's a list of ideas that I used that could help you

Open when:

1.You're happy/having a good day (I put this two together as they both kinda meant the same thing) 

2.You're having a bad day

3.It's your birthday 

4.You're bored 

5.You can't sleep 

6.You need motivation 

7.It's your wedding day 

8.You need a hug 

9. It's your first at at uni 

10.When you graduate 

11.when you want to reminisce 

I did about 15 open when letters but you can do as many as you want.

What you'll need:

Patterned paper 

Coloured pens 

Lined paper 

Glue

Ribbon 

Things to put inside (extra) 

With each of these letters I added little quotes pictures and postcards anything that would mean something to the letter idea 

As I've listed pattern paper this is to make your envelop:
this is how i made mine:

Start off with the paper in diamond shape, and all you want to do is fold it in half across and then upwards and just press in the middle so that'll give you a guide.

Now you can see in the middle there is a line all you want to do next, is just fold the two sides in so its meets at the line and press down.

 Open it back up.
All you want to do is create two small triangles show in the picture and again fold
The just fold the two side back in.

So once you've folded the sides in, take the bottom half and bring it upwards.

When bringing the bottom half upwards you want to make sure that the top inner corner of the side flap starts to meet the triangle.

(now press down )

Once that's in place now all you want to do is fold the small triangle inwards, so it starts to look like and envelope

Now just fold the top triangle down.... and there we have it, your very own envelope

Nope we haven't finished yet.

Open it back up, now this is where the glue comes in. All you want to do is glue all the triangles down.

Finally fold the sides back in and just glue the corners where I'm pointing to.
Also just take it a little up so its secure when you fold it.

 And there we have it a finished Diy open when letter envlope - with the flap you can either tuck it in, but for me I got these cute stickers and used to hold it down

Last but not least I put everything inside a box.
With the envelopes I just tied a ribbon around, to hold them altogether which I think looks super cute.

So there we have it your very own DIY open when letters

I really hope you like this post

Let me know if you've tired this cute little idea as a gift

The Perfect Nude

For a long time now i have been looking for a nude that will complement my skin shall i say.
Any nude that i see have either, been too pale or has a pink undertone and people with brown skin will understand my pain

As I was shopping in oxford street with my friend Niamh we took a little trip down to mac and honestly makeup is my worst I will always end up buying something,(well only if i need it ..) anyways surrounded by this beautiful makeup I was looking for a nude and finally I found the perfect shade, which i got in taupe also bought a lip pencil to go with it 

When choosing a lipstick (if you are unsure) ask one of the make-up artists to try it on to see if it suits you. If I go into mac or any or any makeup shops, I always ask the artists to help me which one would suit me because they're there to help. and honestly when they put it on I literally was like yes this is my shade 

I must say that this shade is perfect for any occasion or if you just feeling like wearing minimal makeup but you still want something on your lips.

It does have brown undertones but for me this was my perfect nude

Lipstick in Taupe(Matte) and a lip pencil in the shade spice.
Lipstick:£15.50
Lip pencil:£12.50

I must say that mac lipsticks are long lasting, i'll probably only have to re-apply it once after eating
but otherwise i cant say anything bad about it! 

What are your most loved Mac shades ? Also whats you favourite nude?
