I’ve always found it so interesting how past projects can inspire future tutorials. It’s even more intriguing when the latter project is completely different! This DIY – made with PVC tubing from Home Depot – was actually inspired by the Vinyl Tube Bracelets from almost exactly a year ago. With just a little fabric and …
Earlier in the week, I shared this week’s DIY inspiration: coin charms. As I stated in the original post, I adore the cultural, bohemian vibe of coin charms. This project is actually a play off of a past studs & pearls project, the Faux Braided Bangle Bracelet. Creating a similar tutorial actually wasn’t the initial …
Equal parts edgy and sweet, I’m head over heels in love with this week’s DIY! The pearl flat backs – which I found in the Scrapbook section of Michael’s – add a feminine touch to this maroon Men’s beanie I picked up at Target. Inspired by the classic vibe of pearl details, I knew I …
Recently, Martha Stewart Crafts sent over some amazing supplies for me to check out and whip up a holiday project with. One of my favorite Martha Stewart Crafts supplies is Glass Etching Cream, which has really opened up an entire bucket of possibilities for me. For this holiday DIY, I decided to etch some mirrors …
Recently, I dressed up a pair of plain boots with materials that I already had on hand… jersey fabric, random chains, and pendants! I love the creative vibe this project gives off. The boots were actually a lucky find: only $10 at Goodwill, brand new. I had been waiting and waiting and waiting to finally come across …

This is one of those project ideas that have been on my mind for a while. Often, an idea pops into my head, but I’m not quite sure how to execute it. Just take a look at my notebook, planner, and virtual note apps. So many ideas without the details figured out yet. This is …
Earlier this week, I shared my most recent DIY inspiration: metallic lace. Taking a tip from the likes of Bidermann and D&G, I used liquid gilding (which is made to look like metal) to add a flashy touch to lace trim. Prior to applying the liquid gilding, fabric stiffener was used to harden the lace. …
If you follow me on social media, it’s no secret that triangles are my favorite shape. I love the simplicity of geometric designs, and how shapes can be combined in various ways…especially triangles! There’s something edgy and off beat about them. This dainty and simple necklace is a great beginner/intermediate project for those of you …
Remember the Painted Floral Purse from this past February? I used the same method (painting inspired by brush embroidery, a cookie/cake decorating technique) to give a little life to a plain black leather Barneys New York wallet.
