DIY: Leopard Print Suede & Rhinestone Bracelet
Anyone that knows me, knows that I love leopard print. So naturally, I’m loving this particular project. This bracelet was inspired by a piece I saw at Barneys NY, and to be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure if the leather in the original bracelet was supposed to mimic leopard spots. BUT, that’s how …
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. The supplies are also pretty basic, so I didn’t even need to buy additional materials. If you’re an avid DIY’er, there’s a good chance you have …
diy: Zig Zag Shorts
If there’s anything I love about spring & summer – aside from the longer days and sunshine – it’s the chance to DIY so many more clothes. Practically all of my warm weather clothes are altered or handmade. So, naturally, I’m really looking forward to the change of season. This project is a quick and …

DIY: Ring Tray Holder
This is probably already a given, but my following collections are pretty huge: 1) Fabric and old clothes to re-use. 2) Jewelry, mostly handmade of course. By myself or other people. Recently, I decided I needed to figure out a better way to store my rings. I used to hold them in a small container …

I have a DIY in the latest Spring issue of Glitter Magazine! You can find it at select Barnes & Noble locations. xx K
diy: Box Lanyard and Chain Bracelet
Lanyard (or plastic lacing, or gimp, or boondoggle, or whatever you’d like to call it!) has definitely been making a comeback. For most of us, it’s a blast from the past that had a pretty significant role in our childhood – or at least, it did for me. I’ve been trying to think up …
diy: Colorblock Thread Wrapped Belt
I was browsing Polyvore a while back, and came across a $52 J. Crew belt. It was super cute, but I knew it could easily be DIY’d – and I happened to have all of the supplies on hand. It’s really simple, and can easily be done within an hour or so. Photo …
