DIY Book Accessories: Bedazzled Bookmarks

Hey guys it's Breigh and today I'm gonna be showing y'all how to make a DIY Bookmark that's bedazzled! So I personally absolutely love this and I think it's super cute and affordable. 

Personally, since I have like no money haha I just used items I already had, but if you would like to use extra items too, go ahead! 

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:

-card stock or scrapbook paper

- glitter 

-paint

-moge poge

-painters tape

-one medium paintbrush and sponge

-something to cover your work station, like old papers that are no longer needed 

-pen

STEPS 

First, lay out your supplies and cover where you will work.

Next, put your ruler down with it on top of the paper, one edge of the ruler touching the papers end. Take the pen and mark that line and cut it

Then, measure halfway, for me it was 6 inches, and mark that and cut it.

You should now have two equally sized peices of paper. 

After that, take one and cover it with the painters tape, laying it down in diagonal strips side by side. Pull off every other peice of tape and cover with moge poge

Now cover the visible area with moge poge, then glitter.

Peel off the tape.

As you can see, the tape removed some of the color of the cardstock. That's completely fine, and also kinda a part of this DIY. Cover that area with your paint.

It should look like this 

Cover with moge poge and you are done!  On the right I also did another one with just glitter and painters tape.

This is super simple and I hope y'all love it! 

Also, sorry it's Tuesday and not Monday, but I really was just swamped yesterday:( but hey, I love this so yay.

Ranting About "fakes": Book Version

Hiiii everyone! It's Breigh and ok I just need to let this off my chest, kinda like last week when I went on and on about fangirls, I kinda wanted to do a second branch off of that about fakes. We all have seen fakes and unfortunately they exist in fandoms too. For example, what exactly is to be considered a fake fan? Well, by my definition it is someone who try's to act like they know everything about a certain thing; even if they know close to nothing at all. This is honestly perhaps one of the most infuriating things in my thoughts. Now, many people may say that people who listen to audio books and/or just watch the moviesand never read the book are fake fans. This is a little bit tricky to decipher, but I would say that they are a true fan. But they are NOT a reader! This is another one of my pet peeves, when someone who only listens to audio books calls themselves a reader. Haha! You can only be considered a reader if you are looking at the page and reading it with your eyes; or in some cases, fingers. You are NOT a reader if you just listen. You may be a fan but you are not a reader. You are a listener. 

Another topic of fakes I would like to discuss is fanfiction. Ah, ol' fanfiction. Personally, I don't read fanfiction that has characters from already made books or real people that actually exist; because I like the authors way of writing the story, not a 16 year old girls way of interpreting it. Now of course I do highly respect those 16 year old girls writing a Harry Styles love scene, but I honestly don't care for it. I don't mind fanfiction that has new characters and new people and a whole new story. That's my kinda fanfic that I enjoy:)))

What a short post today huh? Sorry for all the short posts lately and late posting we have all been extremely busy recently but we try and keep posting for y'all:) 

Thanks for reading and putting up with my rant haha I love you guys, I'll see you next week, byeeeee
