DIY Starfish Headband.

... Because everyone wants to feel like a Mermaid sometimes :)

Ever had that feeling where you see something in a store and think to yourself..."I can easily make that/customize it for myself!" Well that's exactly how I came about making this little beauty, getting inspiration from a single starfish on an elastic band.



Materials Needed: Black felt, two starfish (you can also use seashells), a hot glue gun, Gold Chain (about 10 inches), and an elastic headband. 


1. Cut small circles in black felt for the starfish backing. Also cut your chain to a desired length. 
2. Hot glue the bottom half of the starfish. Place the chain down first with the black felt over it. Let dry. 



3. Repeat process to the 2nd Starfish. (Make sure the top half isn't glued yet!)


4. Insert the elastic headband in the top  part of the black felt, hot glue them together and let dry
5. Repeat this process with the 2nd Starfish (you can place them however close or far apart you want on the headband, just remember that the elastic does stretch when you wear it on your head). 


6. And there you have it, your very own mermaid inspired headband!!



Until next time,

Day Dreaming....


I am a firm believer in the fact that you could always use a little motivation in life. (Especially when it's a Monday and you just got back from Vegas.) I've been day dreaming about my future all day and my creative mind is going crazy! So I've decided to share some of my favorite motivational quotes that always give me the extra push when I need it. Sometimes, you just have to have a little faith. (Thanks pinterest and We Heart It!!) 

Hope you enjoy. 









Until next time,

Welcome to Sunsets and Falling Stars!

Sunsets and Falling Stars is about all things beachy and all things beautiful. I decided to start this blog to share my passion for bikinis and the lifestyle that goes hand in hand while wearing one (Which I wish could be everyday). 

I'm just a mid 20's So Cal girl with the heart of a dreamer. I would LOVE to own my own swimwear line one day and travel to far away exotic locations for inspiration (But who wouldn't want to do that?!). This blog will take you on my journey and show you all the beauty I find along the way. From the perfect beach bag essentials, bikini re-vamps, a delicious cocktail here and there, to fitness tips for keeping that bikini body in top shape, I hope you never stop coming back for more. 

Why "Sunsets and Falling Stars"? A wise book once told me that beauty is everywhere, and is revealed in even the simplest of sunsets and falling stars. You just have to open your eyes to what the world has to offer. 

"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Until next time!
