Pinterest is just the best. It’s the most useful place to compile everything, get that inspiration, connect with people, and more. They’ve been going strong for four years without making a dime (until recently) – I’m oversimplifying this, but investors choose them because they know how awesome Pinterest is and that it’s not going anywhere – so they were able to keep going and even expand as a company without rolling out ads until this point. So inspiring. I’m on Pinterest every day, so I thought it was about time to share some of the most inspiring users I’ve seen. I’ve noticed that the “big pinners” tend to have their own little network, and they usually recycle 90% of the pins going around in their circle – over and over. So instead of following the biggest people I see (unless I really love their aesthetic) I go for people that simply fit my style, and almost all of those people are bloggers or artists themselves.
Late summer DIY floral crown
I’ve got another quick little DIY floral crown project to share today. I’ve made so many by now I’m starting to think I should open a booth at the flea market. But I knew I had to make one when I saw these pretty fall-inspired bouquets at the craft store. Isn’t it perfect for a late-summer hairpiece? The best part is that you can whip this up in about 4 steps.
- Faux florals
- A stem from a faux floral garland or floral twine
- Hot got + gun
- Scissors
- Floral wire and/or tape
Add leaves and flowers, securing with the wire when necessary. For the pieces without stems, secure them with hot glue. Make sure to give it time to dry and re-apply glue if necessary. Wrap green floral tape around the wires to prevent them from getting caught in your hair.
