			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys! Sorry I haven&#8217;t posted in forever! I&#8217;ve been super busy but I&#8217;m back now! I wanted a fun new iPhone case for the summer, so I made a colourful Aztec print! Instructions below!</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0003.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1030" title="IMG_0003" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0003-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a><span id="more-1029"></span><strong>What you will need:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2544.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1032" title="IMG_2544" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2544-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Assortment of permanent markers</li>
<li>White iPhone case</li>
<li>Ruler (not shown)</li>
<li>Pencil (not shown)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<p>1. Find a print you would like to replicate. I liked this one:</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/aztec02_large.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1033" title="aztec02_large" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/aztec02_large-294x300.gif" alt="" width="294" height="300" /></a>2. On the case draw the center lines in pencil as guidelines. Erase the lines, so that you can barely see them.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2548.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1034" title="IMG_2548" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2548-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>3. Start drawing! Be careful not to smudge!</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2550.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1035" title="IMG_2550" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2550-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2552.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1036" title="IMG_2552" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2552-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>4. Continue the design on the sides and the top of the case.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2556.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1037" title="IMG_2556" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2556-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2558.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1038" title="IMG_2558" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_2558-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>5. Once you&#8217;re done drawing, put it on your phone and amaze all your friends <img src='http://collegelifediy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_00021.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1039" title="IMG_0002" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_00021-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>St. Patty&#8217;s is one of my favourite holidays and what better way to celebrate then with fun earrings?! Tutorial below!<br />
<a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Photo-on-2012-03-15-at-18.38.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1019" title="Photo on 2012-03-15 at 18.38" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Photo-on-2012-03-15-at-18.38.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a><span id="more-1018"></span><strong>What You Will Need:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2345.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1020" title="IMG_2345" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2345-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Earring hooks</li>
<li>Light green beads (big)</li>
<li>Dark green beads (small)</li>
<li>8 pieces of shamrock shaped confetti</li>
<li>Hot glue gun (not pictured)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps </strong></p>
<p>1. String beads, if not already strung.Make sure there is enough string at the top to tie on the hooks and the bottom to attach the shamrock!</p>
<p>2. Take your first strands and tie them onto the earring hooks.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2350.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1021" title="IMG_2350" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2350-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>3. Take your second strands of beads and tie them to the hooks.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2351.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1022" title="IMG_2351" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2351-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>4. Take the hot glue and place glue on top of a shamrock.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2352.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1023" title="IMG_2352" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2352-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>5. Place the string into the glue. Take another shamrock and push the two together, sandwiching the string.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2353.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1024" title="IMG_2353" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2353-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>6. Do this to all four strands and you&#8217;re done!</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_23561.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1026" title="IMG_2356" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_23561-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>

<p><span id="more-967"></span></p>
<p><strong>What You Will Need:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2123.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-970" title="IMG_2123" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2123.jpg" alt="" width="336" height="251" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Headphones</li>
<li>Embroidery Floss</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong> 1. Tie string to the end of the headphones.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2125.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-971" title="IMG_2125" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2125-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>2. Using the &#8220;Chinese Staircase&#8221; pattern, work your way down the headphones. If you don&#8217;t know how to create a staircase click <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-the-Chinese-Staircase-Bracelet">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2127.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-973" title="IMG_2127" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2127-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>3. Once you feel like adding another colour just tie the string over the first one.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2128.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-974" title="IMG_2128" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2128-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>4. Using the new string, continue the staircase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My roommates and I wanted to get into the holiday spirit but we had no money and a lottttt of empties! So we decided to make a tree out of beer bottles and it looks pretty awesome! Tutorial below!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2049-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="IMG_2049 copy" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2049-copy.jpg" alt="" width="418" height="560" /></a><span id="more-946"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What You Will Need:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_1995.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-948" title="IMG_1995" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_1995.jpg" alt="" width="336" height="251" /></a>- Enough beer bottles to make your tree. We used a total of 56 bottles to make 5 tiers.</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/treenumbers.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-949" title="treenumbers" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/treenumbers.jpg" alt="" width="28" height="62" /></a>- White or hot glue</p>
<p>- Cardboard</p>
<p>- A Pencil/Pen</p>
<p>- Scissors</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. Rinse out all the bottles, you don&#8217;t want your tree to start smelling!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_1994.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-950" title="IMG_1994" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_1994-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>2. Put your bottles in piles of 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2001.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-951" title="IMG_2001" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2001-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>3. Start gluing the bottles onto your base.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2006.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-952" title="IMG_2006" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2006-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2008-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-953" title="IMG_2008 copy" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2008-copy-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2010.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-954" title="IMG_2010" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2010-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>5. On a sheet of cardboard, put the next tier on, trace around and cut out the circle.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2011.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-955" title="IMG_2011" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2011-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>6. Glue the tops of the bottles.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2018-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-956" title="IMG_2018 copy" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2018-copy-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>7. Put the cardboard cutout on top and start gluing down the second tier.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2021.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-957" title="IMG_2021" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_2021-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>8.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So a couple of my friends and I went light painting the other night. It was so much fun and soo cool, I&#8217;ve decided to share it with all of you <img src='http://collegelifediy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> . Steps below!</p>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-914" title="01" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/01.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="638" /></a><span id="more-913"></span><strong>What You Will Need:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong></strong>A DSLR camera that can do long exposures, or one that has “bulb” mode.</li>
<li>A tripod</li>
<li>Flashlights or any type of lights</li>
<li>A dark room / the night</li>
<li>Friends <img src='http://collegelifediy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (1 person to man the camera and people to draw and pose)</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/06.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-915" title="06" src="http://collegelifediy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/06.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="638" /></a><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Place your camera on a tripod, due to the long exposures you want your camera to not move.</li>
<li>Set your camera to &#8220;bulb&#8221; mode or set the exposure to a long value.</li>
<li>Have one person hold down on the shutter release button.</li>
<li>Now its time for the people to &#8220;paint&#8221; the designs, using the flashlights. Make sure that the light always faces the camera otherwise it will not work. Also the slower the light moves, the brighter the light will appear.</li>
<li>Once finished &#8220;painting&#8221; the person holding the shutter button, should let go and you will get your image!!</li>
</ol>
