diy: Mini Dream Catcher

This project is perfect for a weekend afternoon. I love mini versions of anything, so this is definitely one of my favorites. It also uses a slightly unexpected item; small crocheted doilies found in the scrapbook/embellishment section. Once it’s finished, you can either hang it up, or attach it to a long strand of chain …

diy: Rhinestone and Bow ID Case

When I was younger, I used to adore Hello Kitty. Today, I might be (almost) in my mid-20’s, but I still love her just as much. It’s one of those things that keeps life fun and cute…especially when you have to start growing up. We all know gets life super stressful sometimes, so I think …

diy: Thread Wrapped Love Necklace

I was recently browsing Anthropologie’s website, and came across this necklace below. It’s adorable and fun, but I knew it could definitely be made for much less than $48.

DIY: Lanyard Stitched Clutch

  This was one of those projects that I started without any real direction or idea as to what I was about to do. I’m actually really happy with the outcome, considering I kind of just winged it…but those are always the best kind of projects 😉 Alexander McQueen Ivory/Black Clutch, $1,850 Photo Credit: Polyvore/Matchesfashion.com …

diy: Sweater Tube Scarf

I was so close to buying one of these about a month ago – but then I forced myself to walk away, reminding myself that it could easily be DIY’d. I made this one with a thrifted Mens’ sweater that cost me an entire $4 at Goodwill, making it way less than most store bought …
