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 …
DIY: Snake Wrap Bracelet
This DIY starts off pretty crazy – but I promise the finished piece is way cooler! You might even have all of the supplies already…except the rubber snake. 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: Knuckle Duster Eyeglass Case Clutch
All I can say about this DIY is: love love LOVE. It’s a redo of the first two eyeglass case clutches I made last year (here and here), but this one is my favorite by far. The general shape and build is inspired by the Alexander McQueen clutches, even though eyeglass/sunglass cases obviously weren’t used …
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 …
DIY: Fur & Ribbon Scarf
Fact #1: I’m all about detail. Fact #2: I wish I thought of this project back in December! …But even with winter transitioning into spring, there are still those chilly days that sneak up on us every now and again. I love this project because I was able to use up a decent amount of …
