Indoor Gold Fish Pond.
I always wanted a gold fish pond but never really had a yard for one. One day I decided to make one and here it is. How to make a indoor gold fish pond from a plastic bin.
You will need:
1 bin atleast 10-25 gallons so fish have room
1 pound of gravel
3 water plants (atleast)
gold fish
decortions for your pond
water (duh)
hold at least 5 gallons of water. (this is a medium sized bin and holds about 8
to 10 gallons) It dosnt need to have a lid unless you want to be able to cover
the fish. (I cover mine when the cat is inside just so she dosnt eat them) But
it must must must have no holes. i cant stress enough how important this is.
* if you want to paint or add stuff to your bin do it now* remember dont paint the inside of the bin. I know it sounds silly but someone did and then got mad at me because i didnt tell them not to.
the bin. Fill your bin with water.
kill your fish you want to rid the water of it. If you dont want to wait two
weeks you can buy some Genesis Chlorine removle drops. Use one drop per gallon
of water.. fo a tub my size i used 16 drops just because i wanted to double that
amount to make sure i rid all of it before the fish went it.
Add your fish. That one is Bob.

I got inspired from Fallout,
Need:
1 pair of jeans
sewing machine
zipper (s)
This took a while but is worth it.
first cut of the legs of the pants making a skirt.
cut on the side of the skirt so it opens up on one side.
leave that be for a sec.
take a pant leg and cut it open. your making the liner to the bag so make sure it is the same size as the skirt part. Cut to fit. you should have left over fabric from the pant leg make a few pockets with it and sew them to the liner you just made.
(If you want your pockets to have zippers before you sew them onto the liner sew the one side of the zipper to the poket, it will make it easier to sew onto the liner)
leave that be for a sec
Take the last pant leg and cut it open. We are making the straps for the bag.
cut strips as long as you like and then fold it inside and sew along the hem so it dosnt fray on you
, if your pants are too short to make the size you need cut another strip and sew it to make it longer. (i had to do that)
now you should have
1 strap
liner with pocket
skirt cut open
Take the liner and place it insde your bag. make sure the bag is INSIDE OUT for this because you dont want the seams to show. Sew the liner onto the bag. after you have the liner attached sew up the skirt part . You should have a bag now.
if you want the purse to open with a zipper like mind sew a zipper onto it by hand would be easiest as i broke a needle trying to make the machine sew through heavy fabric.
Congrats you just made your own bag.
now add some pins,draw on it or what ever to make it more zazzy.
mine now has buttons,pictures,patches on it.

Dress Remake.
But it wasnt quite my style i bought it for the polka dot
So i took a seam ripper and i took the collar off.
I also took the white bow off as well.
But i didn't like the way the top was. So i cut the top 3 inches off
making the dress a strapless.
I took the back strap and cut it off . I sewd it onto the top of the dress as
sleaves. (sorry i didnt take a picture of that step)
Then I cut a V into the dress.
Fold the fabric around the V to re make the seam so it dosn't fray.
and sew it together.
so I took some beads and charms and added them.
I also added the white sash.
You can sew them on very simple.
I colored my converse.
Now they are Prettier. I think i may add more jazz though.
I am posting a HOW TO VID on this very soon.
now they're leopard.. i may still add stuff to these not sure yet.
OKay, so the lepord heels were still too plain.
So i added ribbon
Bathing suit I made myself.
Hot glue is my friend, so is fabric and buttons :)
