Hime Gyaru Accessories Tutorial

Hey guys! as you know accessories are a vital part of the hime gyaru look. So  wanted to do a few tutorials on some of my recent accessories projects. I love crafting i find its a lot of fun and a way of getting the hime gyaru look on a budget. I was lucky enough to receive craft supplies for my birthday back in May and i certainly put them to good use. In the future I'll probably upload pics of me wearing these lovely accessories. Lets get started.

Yummy and oh so cute!!!

 

Hey guys. So i had a lovely day yesterday for my sons birthday. He got many awesome gifts and was a very happy chappy. We had a lush dinner at my sisters where he was smiling constantly and had a lot of laughs. As part of his birthday i made these cute little cakes.

 

cupcakes

 

So i thought I'd share the recipe with you. Its very simple to make and so delicious and girly.

Ingredients and Equipment

 

Cupcake recipe of your choice
400g fondant icing
Yellow, pink, purple and green food colouring
250g unsalted butter
250g icing sugar
2tbsp strawberry jam
Cake decorations
Flower, heart and leaf cutters
Piping bag

Instructions

Bake cupcakes and allow to cool.

Split fondant icing into four pieces and knead to mix with the four different food colourings.

Dust a surface with icing sugar, roll out fondant icing 2mm thick, then use a flower shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes.

Mix the butter, icing sugar, jam, salt and pink colouring using an electric mixer to make butter cream icing. Pipe on the centre of the flower shape.

Create shapes with heart and leaf cutters (score leaf marks with a knife) and stick into icing when dry.

Add ready-made cake decorations on top. 

And there u have it. easy peasy so I'm interested to know guys what you’d like tutorials on next :)

Till next time

Hey :-)

Konichiwa! how are you all? so i have been very busy past few days crafting and shopping. first task i completed was decoden on my hello kitty mp3 player by giving it a diamante trim and fixing bows to the headphones. super cute. i also followed one of the delightful violet lebeaux tutorials and made myself a hime hair bow. very simple and very cute. expect photos of me wearing it very soon. i also made myself some beautiful boxes for storing my jewellery, cosmetics and hair accessories. i bought some super sweet sticky backed paper from hobbycraft that was on sale for 29p a roll. then used it to cover some old boxes a flurry of ribbon and bows transforms them into something pretty and way cheaper than going out and buying new boxes:) now for the shopping. i bought some pastel coloured earrings, a bow necklace, a bow headband, a flower headband, a ring with a huge flower on it. some doll eyes supplies - fake lashes which were just a pound from internacionale. also some black and white eyeshadow. so lots of gorgeous things and today i designed and decorated some sumptuous 3d nails. pink with silver tips covered in jewels and pearls. so so lush can't wait to wear them. and i also spruced up a pair of pumps by fixing ribbon to the edge of the shoes and attaching bows to the toe area. well that's what i've been up to. till next time. mwah!
