With the holidays on their way, you can never go wrong with a sparkly and fun sequin DIY. (But if you’re anything like me, sequins are welcome all year round!) This is an easy way to give life to an old sweater or shirt. I used a Forever 21 sweater, which I actually found at …
In all senses of the word, this was a very spur of the moment project! A couple days ago, I was cleaning my work space and decided to whip up a tassel bracelet with some leftover embroidery thread. Of course this turned into making a million different versions, and when I posted a snapshot on …
I’m always looking for different ways to use up my scraps and remnants. I’ve altered, cut up and reconstructed a TON of t-shirts over the years, especially in your basic white and black. I whipped up this scarf using the black t-shirt remnants in my supply stash, and decided to photograph it for a quick …
Thanks to Plaid, I was able to try out supplies from the Martha Stewart Craft line to create a holiday themed project. (This is actually just one of a few!)I decided to use the Martha Stewart glass paints on recycled plastic…something a bit unconventional! With a surface similar to glass, I thought it’d be an …
Admittedly , my mind works in weird ways. A couple months ago, I came across this Shattered Metal Dress on Nasty Gal. The metal pieces on the dress automatically made me think of broken CD’s…for some weird reason! After a few minutes of mulling it over, I thought about spray painting them, and then …
Up until recently, I was never much of a hat person. Actually – I was never a hat person, period. But for whatever reason, I’ve started to wear beanies as the temperature starts to drop. I already own a few (back when I used to try and be a hat person!) but decided to give …
Ombre and autumn. Two of my favorite things! This method uses a makeup sponge and a stamping method to create a gradient effect. Depending on the shades you use, you can go a lot of different ways with this. Check out how I made it below! What You’ll Need:2 or more polishes in …
I’ve been wanting to add “metal” tips to a pair of brown combat boots for quite some time, but knew I didn’t want to use acrylics or spray paint. I was looking for something for metallic looking – almost chrome – that had that bright finish. Chrome spray paint would probably work, but I liked …
Spikes and bows… …Yup, I DIY’d another trench! If you’re a long time reader of s&p, you probably know that I studded a short trench jacket last spring 2011. This time around, I used screw on spikes (instead of studs with prongs), I used a “real” trench coat (which was super cute to begin …
The concept of decorating a room/apartment/house can be exciting, but sometimes expensive. I rounded up a few inexpensive – and easy – ideas to add a little personality to your favorite spaces. I’ve always loved what a single black frame can do, so I focused on three simple DIY ideas that involve frames and the …
A few days ago, I came across this bracelet on Anthropologie. I automatically knew I had all the supplies to make a DIY version (I love it when that happens) so of course I had to add it to my to do list. Just even thinking about this combination makes my DIY loving heart skip …
