i know this may be really obnoxious and most of you won’t care so just ignore this if you don’t, but i have had a few anons and non-anons asking how i did my nest-bun hair thing. So i thought it would be easier to do it like this, because hopefully it explains it better. It’s pretty self explanatory really, and really really easy.
1. Put your hair into a high pony-tail, depending on how high you want the bun.
2. Then Backcomb the shenanigans out of the ponytail. Always backcomb from the middle to the roots never from the end to your roots.
3. Wrap your backcomb hair around the hair elastic and hold it where you want it.
4. Use bobby pins to hold your hair in place, i use about 6 until all of my hair stays where i want it.
5. Then Spray the absolute crap out of the bun.
6. And you’re done.
i hope the gifs work at all.Submitted by asummerstateofmind

How To: Make a Dictionary (etc) Wall
Here’s a good weekend project (and a way to recycle some of those unread books). DIY magazine has a perfectly easy “How To” on how to make a dictionary wall. To get started, you’ll need this:
• Wallpaper liner + wallpaper adhesive
• Dictionary pages
• Decoupage medium
• Paint tray
• Paintbrush
• Wallpaper smootherTo get going, you’ll need to…
• Begin by applying a wallpaper liner to the wall and let dry overnight. (We’ve always heard that wallpaper liners are a good for preparing uneven or textured walls for paper. DIY claims that using a liner will make it easier to remove the paper when you’re ready for a change. For a project like this, a wallpaper primer might be all you need).
• Cut pages from your book. Pour decoupage medium into a small dish. Working one page at a time, place the page into a plastic tray and use a narrow paintbrush to coat the back with the medium.
• Position the page on the wall, and press flat with a plastic-edge wallpaper smoother.
• Once you’ve pasted all the pages, brush or roll on a thin coat of decoupage medium to seal your project.
For a bit more detail on how to work, see the DIY website. Let us know if you follow these instructions for an original accent wall. We think this would also look pretty awesome with postcards, diary pages, or take-out menus. What will you use?
