Last month, I celebrated Earth Day by showing eHow Style readers how to make this Recycled Rhinestone Necklace using plastic fruit packaging. Paired with some heavy silver curb chain, you would have never guessed how much this necklace cost to make! (ie: little to nothing, depending what you have on hand)…This tutorial only requires …
The thing that I’ve always enjoyed about making and creating is the ability to use clever ideas to form beautiful, eye-catching visuals. In one of my eHow Style projects, the Fabric Wrapped and Beaded Bangle, I used simple stitching and tiny beads to add depth and dimension to a bracelet. It’s really very simple, but …

While I always love a challenging craft project, you can’t go wrong with those DIY’s that require little to no elbow grease.

A few weeks ago, I whipped up this pretty little marbled number thanks to For the Makers’ Mojave Bowl kit. I adore mine! I use it to hold my most worn jewelry. Here’s to hoping I’ll stop misplacing them! Xo, Kirsten FTC Disclaimer: The Marbled Mojave Bowl kit was provided by For the Makers or …
By now, it’s pretty obvious that I tend to lean towards the edgier, sometimes strange elements of creativity. This project is right up that alley, using minimal supplies to create bracelet that emulates the look of barbed wire. Part of me thinks back to my angsty, teenage emo kid days, but the other part of …
Happy Earth Day! I’ve been thinking about making this project for quite some time, but it’s only appropriate that I share it on April 22. Using hand pressed flowers from an Etsy seller, decoupage, and spray paint, I created a spring-time inspired, artsy phone case. Keep in mind that it’s practically inevitable that the spray …
