DIY | Kate Spade Inspired Metallic Polka Dot Phone Case

I've been on a bit of a DIY phone case kick lately and was able to snatch up a plain $3 black slip-on case, perfect for customizing! I love Kate Spade's version but wasn't a huge fan of how large the polka dots were, so I opted to make one with smaller dots and inverted the colors (similar to one that I found at Forever 21 selling for $10).

DIY | Advent Calendar Day 7: Gold Dotted Envelope

As you may or may not know, I'm a huge fan of the 99c store. They surprisingly have some pretty decent, good quality stuff like these nail stickers I found. This set of 20 of sparkly ombre light to dark gray was one of the more plain designs, which I thought would fit Debbie's taste. They also have all sorts of patterns including checkered, zebra, and leopard print for those of those interested. I packaged these with a simple gold dotted envelope topped off with a little toothpick flag.

DIY | Advent Calendar Day 6: Polka Dot Scallop Box

What rhymes with six? TWIX! Twix is actually my favorite candy bar as well so I had to resist the temptation to sneak one for myself :P Got this a mini pack of 6 around Halloween for 99c! I designed a box with a scalloped-edge cover but since I used this same technique to decorate it, the scalloped edge didn't really show up that well :(
