.: DIY - Mason Jar Cups :.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't uploaded a blog post like I promised I would (school and work has taken most of my life now) I can assure you guys summer school in college is not fun. (Especially if you're taking art history like me!) But that's okay I have my super summery (is that a word?) mason jar cup with me to last through the next couple weeks! So I'm going to show you guys how to make your very own. (Don't even think about buying those ratchet plastic ones from the stores, those are too #basic for us)

 

See doesn't my mason jar look better than the normal boring cups?

 Basically you only need a couple of things to make this:
- mason jar (Target, Walmart has them by the bulk *never buy from Michaels its a ripoff*)
- 1/4 rubber grommet (hardware stores such as Home Depot should have it)
- drill (with an approx. 1/4 sized drill bit)
        OR 
- hammer and nails
-pliers

These rubber grommet look like black macarons!

 Basically wash your mason jar thoroughly and pop the flat part of the lid off.

Next, you can drill a hole right in the middle of the flat lid. If you don't have a drill you can use a hammer and perforate a circle with your nail about the size of your rubber grommet. Then just use a pair of pliers to pull the perforated piece out. (Simple as that!)

Now you just have to fit the rubber grommet into the hole of your lid. (The grommet insures the sharp edges are sealed and to reduce any leakage.)

And voila! You have an awesome hipster mason jar.

Just put your favourite drinks in there and you're all set! (I did passion tea lemonade from Starbucks and green tea frappe also from Starbucks cause I work there lol!)

You can also buy re-usable straws from Starbucks so you can be more eco-friendly and hipster.

Hope you guys like this DIY! (Yeah a lot of people has done it before, but HEY one more tutorial won't hurt anyone!) Until next time guys!

Side note: I'm so ready for summer look at this outfit its so summery and hipster lol.

.: Upcoming Projects :.

Sooooooooo now that summer is finally here I have a bit more time. Unfortunately I still have class because I am attending summer school this year. However I am only taking one course for the summer semester so that leaves me with more room to blog. I'm hoping to blog more often because I have so many ideas brewing up in my head but I just don't have the time to type them and edit them. (Man youtubers must have it even harder, they have to edit their videos all the time) But I am so excited to share with you guys an upcoming project that I have been working on. I would say the new post will be unveiled in a couple of weeks the latest and will feature a collaboration with a personal friend of mine who may or may not have started their own blog/website by the time my blog post is published. This is something that is really exciting to me because if this works out well, you will definitely expect to see more of this in the coming future with the same collaborator. Keep checking back to see some behind the scenes pictures and snippets in a couple of days! Until next time guys :)
