DIY: Scarf Vest

  One step DIY’s are the best. Am I right or am I right? I recently made this scarf into a more wearable piece of clothing, by simply cutting two slits. It’s all about where you cut the slits. The best part: you can still wear it as a scarf if you wanted to. Some …

DIY: Painted Rhinestone Earrings

The painted rhinestone jewelry by Tom Binns have caused quite the stir – I’m sure you’ve seen the painted rhinestone necklaces on other DIY fashion blogs. When I saw his jewelry on Net-A-Porter, I knew I that my leftover rhinestone trim from M&J trimming would be perfect for some earring versions! Jenni at I Spy …

DIY: T-shirt Transfer Jeans

  I used to love t-shirt transfers when I was younger, but eventually got fed up at how the image would (inevitably) crack and crease over time. But! A few weeks ago, I thought – if you can’t change the fact that it’s going to crack…why not just run with it? And who says they …

DIY: Recycled Plastic Triangle Earrings

 Happy Earth Day! In honor of today, this project is a straight up recycling DIY. This project uses recycled plastic that would have otherwise gone in the trash. It may not be the most sturdy material, but I personally think it’s better than having it sit in the junkyard. You can use almost any kind …

DIY: Spike Ring

By now, I think it’s pretty obvious I have a soft spot for statement jewelry. This ring creates the illusion of a spike going through your finger, although the ring is SO lightweight you probably won’t even feel it. EDIT: Everyone keeps asking where I got the spikes. They’re NOT spikes! Technically, at least. They’re …

If you’re into accessories of any kind, I’m sure you’ve noticed the snake trend going on in rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. It’s been around for a while, …

DIY: Rhinestone Multi-Finger Ring

I’m a big fan of multi-finger rings. This ring DIY uses rhinestone trim that I purchased from MJ Trim last summer. I had initially bought it to make a headband for my friend’s wedding (she wore it to her reception, click here for a photo!), but I had about half a yard leftover.   Supplies: …

DIY: Studded Wedges

This is another one of those DIYs that came to me out of the blue, and of course I dropped everything I was doing to quickly put it together. I had purchased these suede wedges from Target.com in a gorgeous bordeaux color a while ago, planning to do a completely different project. A few days …

DIY: Coffee Stirrer Necklace

  This necklace DIY will probably cost you less than a cup of coffee – which is probably a good thing if you’re a coffee addict like myself. Although…count on me to be the weird one to not even think of coffee when I saw these coffee stirrers 🙂     Supplies: – Coffee stirrers; …

DIY: Embroidery Thread Tassel Earrings

I only really go with trends if I like them – as I think anyone should do! – you like what you like, you don’t like what you don’t like. Tassels seem to be one of those trends that seem to be loved by many, especially in the form of jewely. I happen to like this …
