A pin curl hairstyle is any vintage loving girls dream! Thanks to Elsie, below are some simple steps to achieve this cute as a pin style :)
1. Pin up all of your hair except for a section at the bottom.2-4. Spray with water and begin taking small sections (about 1 inch) and rolling the hair up to the root. Pin in place.5-6. Once you finish with the bottom section, release a new section from the pinned hair and continue as before. Do this until all hair is rolled and pinned in place. If you have any shorter hair left on the side, take it and pin it around one of the curls.7-8. Finish off your bangs by wetting thoroughly and rolling to the hairline. Tips: If you have shorter bangs you may need mousse or gel to hold them in place. These curls are also great as “no heat” curls, but using bobby pins will create a dent in the curl. Instead, use 2 prong curl clips

I know its after the holidays, but I thought this little DIY jotter/gift card holder would be great for any any last minute holiday present! It  can be made in minutes to tie on a present, hold a gift card or hide  cash. Whether the main gift is store bought or handmade, there is a  little personal touch attached to it. This is a very simple idea, one  that can be completed on a small budget and in just a few spare minutes.

Materials
vintage cards (easily found at flea markets and antique stores for less than $1.00)
grid paper
small kraft paper bag
gift card
trim and decorative items for wrapping
sewing machine
paper cutter

I am amazed at their results! It turned out to have such clean, mid-century lines and beautiful wood. Clearly,  elbow grease and perseverance can pay off— if you have the skill to spot  a piece with good bones.
