DIY redecorated container



Hello again! Today's blog post will be about how to decorate an old container or case or what ever you want to redecorated. I have already redecorate was a Pencil stand. I currently use this container to hold all of my pencils and pens.
My pencil and pens container

This lovely pencil and pen container is redecorated using washi tape. All i did was wrap my washi tape around the container and cut it off. As you can see some parts aren't sticking down and that is only cause I have had the redecorated container for a while now.For this craft you can use any kind of container. I am going to be using my mouth wash container for my braces. 
Container I am using
What you are going to want to do first is to gather your supplies. The supplies you will need are a container of any kind, washi tape or duct tape, scissors or crafting knife, and that is it. This will cost you $10-$15 or so if you don't have the supplies but since I have all of the supplies already that is all you need. Lets get started!
Step 1


The first step is to gather all of your supplies. For this I  used duct tape and a bow I found . I forgot to put it in the photo and there is a crafting knife involved. Please when using a crafting be very safe and try not to cut your self :). 
Step 2.

The second step is to place out your duct tape or washi tape and cut it to your desired length. I cut my pieces in half because my duct tape is thick. Make sure to do this with your other colour if you have a different color.
Step 3.
The third step is to start wrapping the piece  of tape around the top ( or bottom, doesn't matter). You will wrap that around until you have went around your container once. There isn't much to this step but ya.

Step 4.

On step step four you are going to cut off the extra tape. This step is optional  because you can wrap it around more then once but I decided to :). There isn't much to this step either.




Step 5.
For step 5 you are going to repeat steps 2-4 until you have completed the entire container.( by the way my duct taping skills are terrible in this tutorial ).



Finish Result
This is my finished results. This is optional but you can tape or glue on a bow or charms on your container and that is what I did. There you go, you have your own redecorated container. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial so much. Also be free to share this with your friends. I will see you guys tomorrow ( maybe:} )

Volleyball Necessities

This is my very first time blogging! I'm so excited for Christmas and the new year i will make sure i am on the blog regularly. As you might have been able to tell my blog is about simples crafts and some sport tricks and necessities. So for my very first Blog post i am going to do it on what you absolutely need for volleyball. I am doing this first because I am a big volleyball player and I feel like I need to show you what you need. Also I do realize that volleyball season is over :(.
Knee-Pads
The number one thing you need is knee pads. In volleyball these will become your bestfriend. In volleyball you tend to slide and nobody likes rug burn. Knee pads do come in multiple sizes, colours and different brands.The size and brand that I have is a XS knee pads by Nike. If you were wondering I got my knee pads at Sportcheck ( if you don't have a sport check where you live check online or at a local sports shop).
Volleyball.
I do realize this is really obvious but you need a volleyball. Most schools do provide a volleyball but some may not or you aren't in school. Volleyballs do come in many different colors  and brands. My volleyball is the Wilson brand and I have 2, one is neon pink like shown and the other one is baby blue and it is also a Wilson ball. The volleyballs we have  at our school are Tachikara brands. I think I got my volleyballs at Walmart or somewhere else i cannot remember ( if you cannot find a volleyball in your local stores you can always get some from Amazon or Ebay).



Good shorts and a Tee- Shirt
You need a Good pair of shorts and a tee that are comfortable and flexible because in volleyball you move around a lot. Good shorts and Tees come in many different sizes, colours, and brands My shorts are the champion brand. I got them at Target for around $10 (If you don't have target where you live, you can get some of Ebay and amazon.)That is all You really need for volleyball:).


I will talk to you guys sometime soon!
