I recently purchased a cute necklace with a jar full of glitter and stars from Etsy!
Just like every other girl I just LOVE necklaces and the ones that comes with a jar are just the best! "Why" you ask? Damn...because it's a jar....with stuff in it!!! HELLO???
You could put anything in it...anything tiny...and wear it on your neck...wherever you go...you have it with you...how rad is that???
So here are my 5 fave Jar Necklaces I found on Etsy and DaWanda...all handmade! Enjoy :)

One of my favourites...it comes with glitter and cute tiny stars and you can pick your fave color! I got the blue one! :)

Uh...cookies in a jar! The only reason I didn't purchase this one is because everytime I'd look at it I'd get sooo hungry lol But it's sooo cute!!!

No food but a classic....The message in a bottle...sooo romantic :)

I actually don't like licorice but this one's tempting ^^

And here's one of my fave sellers! The Bat in the Hat offers cute handmade necklaces with tiny eyeballs or brains in it!!! Good thing for any Zombie-Lover ^^
She also sells some cute Alice in Wonderland jewelry!
Of course first of all you need to find a good pattern you want to use or make one yourself.
As this cincher is for prettiness only, I chose a pattern I made a while ago with only a few panels.
The more panels you have, the more boning you'll use and the more sturdy it gets, in case you want to make one for waist reduction.
Step 1: Serge all sides
Step 2: Decorations
Step 3: sew all panels together
Step 4: add boning
Step 5: add bias binding to the edges and be proud of yourself
Step 6: add eyelets and lacing to the back (no pic ;) )
Step 7: reward yourself and ignore all the mess around you!
Mmmmm they smell sooooo good!!!
I put some dark chocolate and heart sprinkles on top...can't wait to munch all 12 of them hahahahahaa
Thank god I don't have to clean the kitchen!!! ^^
Pic above found on uglyhousephotos.com/
hahaha and thank god this isn't my kitchen!!!! DAAAAAAAAANG

So finally some time to make new items and I just found some panels for waist cinchers I cut out ages ago!!
So I thought it's time to finally sew those cinchers...one is already finished.
It's made from a hot pink / black striped denim (I LOVE STRIPES!!!) I edged it with black shiny pleather and added 2 handmade buckles....YES...HANDMADE...I made them from a sturdy pleather and the black shiny pleather and a black buckle.
I ordered 100 different buckles on ebay for only 10€ (=$15)!!!!
Oh yeah and I've also added 2 D-Rings to the sides!
So now I just have to add the eyelets and lacing and it's done!!! woooot!!!
Oh yea and I just have to show your this awesome wallet I just bought from Tally Weijl! It was on sale for only 4€!!! And I got a matching purse for only 10€!!!! AAAAHHH!!! LOVE IT!!!

Been in Hamburg on wednesday for a secret gig from Dead by Sunrise I've won tickets for!
For the ones who don't know it: Dead by Sunrise is the side-project from Linkin Park's Chester Bennington....yes...the hot guy ;)
So we arrived at the location and were wondering why there's so many ppl taking pics of...something...when we noticed...SHIT IT'S CHESTER!!! Yes! He was outside to take pics with the fans!
I was soooo excited!!! I'm a fan for almost 9 years now so that was just like HEAVEN! haha
So we took pics with him and he signed my Hybrid Theory EP. He was super nice although there were like 200 people around him and screaming his name lol
They also gave free tix to the first 50 people that didn't have a ticket yet but the ones who won tickets through the Linkin Park Fanclub were on a special list and we had to wait about 30 minutes in the backyard of the club...right next to the trash cans...yummy! But it was worth it haha!!
The door opened and the let us (the Fanclub members) in...second row! PERFECT!
Then they let in all the other people. We waited another 30-40minutes till DBS came on stage but it was ALL SO WORTH IT! They rocked! Chester looked HOT as always ^^...I was able to take about 7-8 shitty pics when my battery was empty haha....anyways...more time for Chester muahaha
He came to the crowd several times, one time, during "Inside of me" he was right in front of me, he held my hand (AAAAAHHH)...I touched his...tits...lol...yes I did...he was looking at me...damnit it felt like 30minutes but it was like...only 5 seconds or something lol.
It was just awesome! The best concert ever..just because you don't have a chance to get that close to him at a Linkin Park concert, this was a small concert, pretty intimate :P
Free tickets = ♥ ♥
Hamburg = ♥ ♥ ♥
Dead by Sunrise = ♥ ♥ ♥
Chester = ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ *1000 haha
