EDITOR Welcome in the first ever issue of D.I.Y. baby, the online magazine dedicated to vintage and handmade projects.
We’ve all seen projects in magazines, in a shop, at a wedding or on tv but do not know how to make them with our little hands. How frustrating when you want to be creative but have nothing to help you. If you think you can’t make anything, don’t worry I’m not much of a queen for handmade stuff either, but these tutorials have been tested and chosen because they are easy and accessible even for beginners. Instead of getting 10 books to make sure you get at least one project in each of them for each category, just read the little vintage guide of everything and make projects for you, your home, your friends, your children, etc... Also let us know what you would like to see and we will run it in the next issue. Ready, paper, scissors... go! Nenette Cousot, Editor

What you will need: -
top coat pink red black white hair pin nail art brushes cloth/hand towel
D.I.Y. BABY 13
1. Start by applying some top coat first. It smooths your nail and I have also noticed that it is easier to remove the nail vanish with the top coat under all layers of colours. They are more likely to come all in one go, under the water, even without nail remover. Once it’s dry, start painting your nails with the colours desired. Apply the top coat again. 2. I have bought a kit of nail art brushes on ebay but I use more or less the two same ones all the time. For small details, I prefer hard brushes. Each hair seems to stay packed together which makes it easier for me. Once you have done a colour, make sure you clean your brush straight away with some tissue or kitchen towel so you can proceed to the next step. 3. The thumbs have a heart on them. This requires practise, like anything really. It might not work straight away but it isn’t that difficult so don’t give up at the first attempt. I start by tracing a straight line in the middle. Then, from the top of the line, I draw a curve on one side, joining the bottom of my straight line. I do the same the other side, and then I filll in. You can use the actual brush of your nail vanish for the inside.. it will be quicker. 3. Dots are so much fun to do. They are so easy too. You can either get the dotty brush from a nail art kit but I much prefer using the end of my hair clip. The glue at the end forms the perfect tool for the dots. Start by applying as many dots as you want in the middle of your nail. Then, you can add some more on the side. You can see on this example that I didn’t have enough space for the last dot, so only half appears... which i think is great. The rest is the same. A brush with compact hair and lots of patience and practice. Once done, be careful when applying the final layer of top coat. Sometimes the colours start merging together

RHINESTONE COLLAR NECKLACE
What you will need:2 collar pieces cut from white felt or rubber flannel - pattern downloadable here - rhinestones - and lots of them! - 1 single hole punch or leather rotary hole punch - 1 yard of ribbon or other tying material - E6000 glue - scissors - tweezers
D.I.Y. BABY 17
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Using a pattern template you first prepared on a piece of paper (found on the internet or made from another collar you like), fold your felt in two and cut out your collar piece at the fold. When you open it, you get your full symmetrical collar.
Working from the outside, start applying your rhinestones. First, place the line on the collar to make sure you have enough stones and then glue. They need to be as close as possible from the edge so they cover the felt as much as possible. Continue with this line by line, being very careful about how much glue you add, as it will affect how closely you can place the rhinestones. Continue adding the rhinestones to whatever pattern you choose until the collar is covered. Once they all are attached and you’ve left the collar to sit for an hour to dry, cut the ribbon/tie into two half-yard lengths. Thread the ribbon/tie through the hole on the tapered end, place a drop of glue at the tip and fold it closed.
Just like that your Kate Spade inspired Peter Pan collar is done – pair the collar with your favorite color block blouse and vibrant pants to finish the look. Et voila !

What You Will Need:
Power Drill Vintage Suitcase (Preferably one made of wood. Plastic works too!) Measuring tape Waddell Straight (or Angle) Top Plate Hardware (4) 4 inch Tapered Table Legs (4) Optional: Spray Paint or Paint for the Legs
D.I.Y. BABY 23
You can use table legs that are bigger. I used 4� table legs for this project Go to a hardware store, like Ace Hardware, to buy the hardware. I went to Lowes and Home Depot and neither of them had the correct Top Plate Hardware. They did have a large table leg selection though. For the actual table, make sure the suitcase is fairly thick and strong. Check inside that there is no trace of mould. Old suitcases sometimes have. You need it in good condition so you can place heavy stuff on it when the table is ready! 1.Begin by turning the suitcase upside down and placing a piece of hardware on each corner 2. Make sure each Top Plate is bubble side up. *If you are using Angle Plates make sure the leg hole is pointing in the right direction before drilling the screws in* 3. Measure the hardware and mark its spot, so each piece is in the same spot. ADD SOME EXTRA TO YOUR FAB TABLE If the suitcase doesn’t already have a pretty inside, or if you would like to add some fabric, click here, you will be taken to another tutorial
I placed my Top Plate 4 inches from the bottom of the suitcase. 4. Screw each plate in. 5. Screw in the legs

tissue paper pom-pom
What You Will Need: Scissors tissue paper ( at least 5 sheets) string/wool or ribbon
D.I.Y. BABY 25
1. For this example, I have 5 sheets of paper, but the more you have, the merrier. If you’re using different colours place them in the order you’d like them to appear. Place them on top of each other. Once it is done, start folding.
2. I have been using A4 size paper so folding every 2.5cm seemed to be a good compromise. Then if you decide to use a bigger size, you will need to make sure all your folds (until the end) are the same size. You need to fold them all together in a concertina style or accordion style as I like to say. 3. Keep folding back and forth until you have one long strip. Then fold your project in half and tie either a piece of wool (as I have done here) or ribbon around the middle of the strip of folded paper, and tie securely.
4. It is time to cut the edges. You can either do a circle, a point or a half circle to obtain different effects. Make sure you have robust scissors to be able to cut through all of the paper together and keep it all in line at the same time... otherwise the result will be poor. 5. Finally, fan out your two ends (with the string still keeping everything together in the middle). Spread them out as far as they will go but be very gentle... it’s a very delicate job so you risk tearing the paper apart. You can make a few of them. The dark green I have made looks like a lettice so it’s found its place in the kitchen.

make your own Plate
What You Will Need:
Dollar Store Plate Pencil Carbon Paper Ceramic, Glass or Porcelain Pens Create your design that you will trace or freehand Scissors Tape Oven
D.I.Y. BABY 31
1. To start with, you need to open up a word processing program and type out whatever you want the plate to say. For this personalized plate I wanted it to say “You Are Special Today” Once you have printed out your words/ design, cut them out but leave a little bit of white around the words. Then tape it on top of the carbon paper. You will then cut again, leaving enough paper 3. This is where it gets fun. Now that so that you can tape it to your plate. you’ve traced your words and/or design onto your plate, start making it pretty. I chose to do my words in black DecoArt Marker because I knew my design would be colorful. Once my words dried, I used the same carbon paper technique with my cake and then filled it in with my marker.
2. Start tracing the letters with your pencil. Make sure you put enough pressure to ensure transfer. You can sneak a peak if you want to be sure it’s working. I had to go back over a couple of areas.
Tip with filling in designs: I pushed some of the paint out onto a piece of paper and used a small paint brush. When I tried to apply a glob directly to the plate, it just wasn’t working. When it wasn’t working though, you know what I did? Took some nail polish remover and it cleaned right up! Woohoo! Don’t you love projects where you can fix mistakes? 4. Your pretty design is done. It is now time to bake your plates so they are dishwasher safe.

Politically incorrect adverts
Oh vintage!...It’s the celebration of the woman, sexy curves, beautiful outfits and sumptuous hair. The 1920s/1940s have probably never been so trendy.
Sometimes I even wish I was born early 1900... until I remember that Facebook didn’t exist then...how lost would I be. Seriously, I think the 21s century is without a doubt, the greatest time to be a woman; access to technology keeping the best of the vintage era, while leaving behind the negative side of it. Well yes, each era as its downside and the 1940s had their fair share of it: Racism, sexism, and more. Here are some examples of politically incorrect adverts you would have seen if you were a housewide from the 1940s

Pigeon-breasted exaggerated S-bend silhouette and umbrella -flared skirts. Restraint was not the key; extravagant hats were in vogue, and bodices were embellished with all manner of trimmings, lace and froufrou. The post-Edwardian period, in contrast, brought a much more slender, columnar silhouette, delicately embellished and topped with an enormous hat.
Obviously the Great War was only 1914-18, but it’s a useful designation for the styles between the Edwardian and Flapper eras. Skirts were still long, just starting to rise by the early 20s; bodices were blousey. The waistline gradually became less defined through this time, though it was still on the natural waist in 1920.

TIMELINE
VINTAGE CLOTHES
c1900-1914
Flapper is a general classification since not everyone during the ‘twenties was a flapper, but all fashion during this period was certainly influenced by the movement. By 1923 the waistline had made its exit, and the silhouette had become leaner. Uneven “handkerchief” hems (where the hem falls into points), and skirt godets (as seen in the 1929 dress above) were popular. Hemlines were rising higher than ever before, hitting knee-length by 1926. Hair was bobbed and the cloche hat was in its heyday.
Around 1929 the waistline began to re-emerge, but was not accentuated. Through most of the 1930s the silhouette remained long and lean; hemlines hung around mid-calf. This is the era of bias-cut gowns and floaty florals. Popular detailing during this period included puffed, flutter or frilly layered sleeves, and neckline interest in the form of bows and jabots.
D.I.Y. BABY 39
Tailoring was key, and subtle gathers and shirts replaced the ruffles and frills of the early 30s. Sleeves were set-in and slim fitting, and often had puffed shoulders, which developed into square shoulders as the war progressed and man-tailoring became more fashionable. Skirts were flared and swingy in the late 30s and early 40s, but narrowed to a slim A-line by 1946 due to fabric rationing. Hemlines rose over the same period to around knee level.
Although nipped-in waists continued to be popular, the late 50s saw the rise of a looser silhouette, defined in boxy jackets, straight skirts and swing coats. Detailing was toned down and high, round ‘jewel’ necklines were popular, with short or elbow-length sleeves. Hair was worn mid length, either big and bouffant (Jackie O) or in a beehive updo.

late 60s - 1970s Mod,Hippie,Boho
Mod is the shortest of my fashion eras, but no less iconic for it. The miniskirt, A-line shift dresses and bold monochromatic or colourful psychedelic prints defined the fashion world. Almost as soon as it had begun, Mod started to give way to Hippie styles, which in turn morphed into soft, Bohemian and Victorian revival fashions.
You don’t need a diploma in vintage fashion to know that in 1947 Christian Dior launched his “New Look”, the ultra-feminine antidote to wartime austerity, which revolutionised the way women dressed. In defiance of cloth rationing (which was still in effect in Britain until 1951) ladies adopted midcalf length, full skirts. Slim pencil skirts were also popular. The waist was nipped in for an exaggerated hourglass figure. Reacting against the masculine, square-shouldered styles of the war years, the fashionable silhouette gained slightly sloping shoulders; dolman, Raglan, cap and smoothly set-in sleeve styles dominated.

1950s
The First World War forced women to rethink attitudes to fashion and styles became more “live for the moment” oriented. In 1926, the Flapper was introduced encouraging an indulgence in debauchery and a more brazen approach to clothes which became more lavishly embellished and the hemline was brought up to the knee. Think Great Gatsby! Finger-waving the hair was very fashionable and was achieved by styling the hair whilst wet with double ended clips and combing the hair in the opposite way. Icons of the day were Clara Bow, Louise Brooks and Josephine Baker. They popularised more extravagant makeup and short bobs.
The Great Depression swept away the frivolous attitudes of the 20s with a more feminine look emphasising women’s independence and epitomising the glamour of the cinematic idols. Clothes were tailored to celebrate the female figure and show off their curves. Eyebrows were plucked to almost non-existent thinness and were highly arched. Upper eyelashes were coated in mascara but the bottom lashes were left untouched. Eye-liner was traced from the tear duct with an upturned triangle effect. Eye colours were glossy in golds or champagnes and lips were a lighter, softer red. Hair was worn in longer waves whilst the crown was smooth to accommodate hats.
The outbreak of war and the lack of resources forced women to be creative. Long hair was often set into pin curls to avoid getting caught in machinery when working. Victory rolls were very popular and versatile as they could be positioned anywhere and easily brushed out afterwards. Makeup was kept quite minimal with eyebrows being natural but sculpted; the face powdered giving a pure feel accompanied by red or coral lipstick. Eye shadows were often matte in shades of grey, brown or navy with a little mascara or eye-liner. Silver-screen starlets such as Betty Grable, Veronica Lake, Dorothy Lamour, Rita Hayworth all inspired a weary nation with their glamour.
Television and TV stars, such as Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn influenced make-up and hair styles. The music scene had also expanded with the do-wop, bebop, cool jazz and the rise of Rock n’ Roll. Sleek skin was achieved by the use of cream foundation and powder applied on top. Pastel colours ruled the decade with pale pinks, greens, blues and yellows. It was now common to extend the natural border of your mouth with liner encouraging voluptuousness. The hour-glass figure was all the rage encompassed by pin-up star Betty Page.
