Another hardware project! This one doesn’t even look like hardware related, which is one of my favorite aspects of this necklace. I made it on a whim, and I’m pretty happy with the outcome. I’m loving the pearl and metal combination. See how I made it, below! >> Supplies: – Large pearl beads -Jewelry …
I know things have been a little quiet here at s&p, tutorial wise. Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven’t disappeared! For the next two or so weeks, I’m shooting for my book – so things will be extremely hectic as I travel around NYC and New Jersey! Thanks for understanding, I just …
Another simple project using hardware supplies – in this case, a compression cap. For other hardware related projects, check out the Stone Filled Metal Bracelet and the Fabric Hinge Bracelet! This was a great way for me to use up some leftover turquoies stone chips. I had such an awkward amount left, …
This is a quick and easy bracelet that can be made within a few minutes. It uses miniature metal hinges which are pretty much tiny versions of the hinges you see on doors. I had two on hand from a past freelance project, but never ended up needing them. A while ago I saw a …

This necklace was inspired by a Tarina Tarantino piece I recently spotted on Instagram. It reminded me of these rose embellishments that are at Michael’s in the scrapbooking section.

I just posted this on Instagram, but thought I’d share it here. I recently took a slightly oversized, long button down thrifted dress ($4!) and shortened it. When worn with a waist belt (thrifted Vince Camuto for FIVE dollars!), it’s the perfect warm weather gathered dress. Clearly, I’m ready for this New York winter to be …
As of last autumn, the hardware store has become a new source of inspiration for me. I have quite a few projects lined up using odds and ends found at the hardware store, all of which are still fashion/home decor related. I’m excited to share them! Past hardware store related projects included the Wood Coaster …
Contrary to what most people may think, I have a soft spot for preppy pieces. This project was actually inspired by a Stila holiday display that I spotted at Ulta. I wish I had been able to snap a quick shot of it – the model was wearing some kind of bow tie, with tassels …

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 …
