Fluffy Pancakes

✯ Hello Shiny Stars! ✯ 

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 

"I love you almost as much as I love pancakes."

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

A few days ago we celebrated Shrove Tuesday, which is known as Pancake Day in some countries. It has been celebrated by Britons for centuries and its exact date changes every year because it is 47 days before Easter Sunday.

There are two types of pancakes. They can be thin and light or round and fluffy. In many other languages there are even two different words for them.

Today I would like to share with you my recipe for a fluffy pancake that I made on Pancake Day, but they are also perfect for the upcoming Valentine's Day.

The ingredients are listed in the picture as well as below and if you choose the alternatives mentioned in the brackets, your pancakes will also be dairy free.

- 2 eggs
- 300 millilitres of milk (I use either coconut or rice milk)
- 25 grams melted butter (I always use vegetable margarine)
- 15 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar

Method:

- Whisk together the milk and egg, then add the melted butter or margarine.
- Add all the other ingredients into the bowl and mix them together. I did it by hand, but you can also use a blender.
- Heat a non-stick pan on a medium heat and spoon some batter into the pan.
- When the upper side of the pancake starts to blister, it is time to fry the second side.
- Continue frying until both sides are golden.

Serve with maple syrup. 

Enjoy yourself!  :)

Check out this DIY-project for Valentine's Day. To find the original post just click on the picture.

Have a lovely weekend.  :)

Lots of love,

P&P style made... a Johnny Depp inspired bracelet

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯ 

It has been a while since my last DIY-post although I had some projects during the last months too.

Today I will share a bracelet with you - that I made in the summer, but somehow always forgot to post it. 

I saw a photo of Johnny Depp and I became aware of his bracelet. It was a beaded one so I thougt, I will make it myself, which I did and I still love it.

All you need is beads and a rubber band.

I used simple beads and star beads but the "original" had some skull beads as well.

There are lot of colors, lot of variations so you can make many different bracelets with this simple method. Just let your imagination run wild.  :)

Make your own bracelet and as always, I would love to see your work, so send me your photo at pandpmode@gmail.com.  :) 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Lots of love,

P&P style made... a Head Chain

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

The famous Coachella has started with Weekend One yesterday and we are already excited to see all the beautiful festival outfits.  :)

 Until then here is our post from last year if you are interested: Our Favorite Looks At Coachella 2013

And now, we would love to share our latest DIY-project with you: a head chain.

You can use different chains, we had these two just lying around.

First, fit the chain around your head and secure it in the back.

Connect it with a safety pin or use a jump ring (in this case you will need flat nosed pliers also).

At least decorate it with a rhinestone, charm or button.  :)

Make your own Head Chain and as always, we would love to see your work, so send us your photo.  :)

P&P style made... a Valentine's Day Card

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

 Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

This time we made a very simple pinhole card. The pattern is created by poking holes into the paper.

You can make this card for each instance, so feel free to customize it any way you want.

There are only two steps to make it:

1. Make a sketch on the paper.

2. Use a pin to outline the form.

If you want, you can make the next step also:

3. Embroider the form.

 

Have you ever made a pinhole card for someone?

P&P style made... a Magazine Star Ornament

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

We hope everyone, who is reading this, had a beautiful holiday season.  :)

 A few days ago we made a star ornament, which is our next DIY-project shared with you.

You need for this a piece of paper, we used one from an old magazine.

Follow the steps on the picture to get the little trapezes. You need 8-12 pieces of them to make a full star. It depends on you, how many trapezes you want to use. 

You can put the pieces together by placing the two corners of each trapeze into the next trapeze's top "pockets" (see picture).

You can hang up the stars everywhere and not only in time of Christmas. We think, by using different colours, they are a good decoration for every season.  :)

xoxo,

P&P style made... a Flat Washer Necklace

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

 It's been a while since our last DIY-post, so it's time to be creative again. :)

We show you a super easy statement necklace idea. It is really inexpensive, we used for example simple metal washers that we found in the garage, but you can buy them at your local hardware store, of course.

To make this necklace you'll need:

- washers (any size you want)

- nail polish (optional)

- jump rings

- flat nosed pliers

- a chain.

How to make it:

1. Lay a bunch of washers out on the table and play with different designs.

2. Paint each metal washer with nail polish and let them dry.

3. Lay the washers out on the table in the design that you want, and jump ring each one together. Use flat nosed pliers to attach the rings together.

4. Put a jump ring on the chain and connect it to the washers.

5. Wear your new necklace.  :)

We made lately some bracelets with letter beads.

They are super easy to make and look really fabulous.

ABC-Spass!

Wir haben einige Armbänder mit Buchstabenperlen in letzter Zeit gefertigt.

Sie sind einfach zu basteln, und sehen wirklich fabelhaft aus.

Für die Armbänder kannst du Bänder, Ketten oder nach Belieben auch andere Materialien verwenden.

Den fertigen Bänderarmband kannst du mit einem Knoten auf dein Handgelenk fixieren und bei dem Kettenarmband kannst du einfach eiene Sicherheitsnadel um Hilfe rufen, wie wir es gemacht haben.

P&P style made... a Safety Pin Bracelet

Hi all!

It's been awhile since our last DIY therefore it's time to create something new.

Well, I found a little chain in my "it'll be good for something"-box.

It was too short for a bracelet, but with a safety pin it's absolute perfect.

Here's the tutorial for the bracelet that you can easily make with stuff lying around your home.

Hier ist die Anleitung für das Armband, was du schnell und einfach machen kannst, und zwar aus Sachen, die nur herumliegen.
