DIY AND UPCYCLING!!

On the night of April 9th, 2025, I finished upcycling this Steel denim jacket I bought! I'm super proud of this piece; especially the Hello Kitty on the back!

I bought some customizable nails, painted them, and ultimately glued some charms on them in order to make them into ADORABLE gyaru nails!! Unfortunately, I scrapped these because they were too uncomfortable to wear.. but I love them!

Customizing this notebook was SOOOO FUN!! I got the mini stickers around the perimeter from a Hello Kitty set and the one in the middle from a seller on Etsy. I am so happy with the way this sketchbook turned out! It feels so "home" to me, if you get what I mean. Like it's mine.

I made these little clips from (mostly) bootleg mini Sanrio plushies! The only official product is the My Melody which I snipped off of a cat bib I bought in MINISO!

I had so much fun with these! Sadly, only the My Melody clip is light enough to properly wear.. but TRUST ME, I wear her ALL the time!

I decided to "manba-fy" my backpack! I felt very inspired by brands like ALBA ROSA (of course), BLUE MOON BLUE, and ROCO NAILS! For this project, I painted the letters and hibiscus on. Also hot glued some lace around the borders of the bag! I really love the vibe here. So beachy and paradise-y!

Sadly, can't wear these because they're, uhhhh... impossible to walk in! RIP. But I still love these!! All hot glue for these. I love how princess-y they look. They kind of are just a trophy to me.

I made this bracelet YEEEEEARS ago when I had a mini (absolute dumpster fire of) a scene phase! I felt like she belonged here because she fits the vibe sooo much! <3
