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 …
While browsing Anthropologie, I came across this bracelet ($28). I happened to have all of the supplies except the bangle, which I picked up at Michael’s for $4. Even if you bought all of the supplies, your total would probably be barely half of Anthro’s version. There are endless color possibilities when it comes to …
I love kids’ crafts turned chic. The story behind this one is pretty simple: when I was in elementary school, I used to go to extracurricular weekend classes held by a nearby district. I took one or two sports “courses” throughout the years I attended, but I remember the art classes the most. To …
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 …
A few days ago, I came across this bracelet on Anthropologie. I automatically knew I had all the supplies to make a DIY version (I love it when that happens) so of course I had to add it to my to do list. Just even thinking about this combination makes my DIY loving heart skip …
I called this “faux” braided because it looks like your typical braid, but actually isn’t. I’ve had this idea in my mind for a while; I’ve been contemplating ways to use thin metal bangles that I never use anymore. When the crew at Lion Brand asked me if I’d like to try out some of …
Everyone loves a little arm candy, especially during the summer months. Stacking on the bracelets is a fun way to mix and match different elements, something I’ve always loved doing! This particular project is pretty simple and sweet; you can probably make a few within in an afternoon. It was inspired by a bracelet I spotted …
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 …
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 …
This project brings back memories, in more than one way. 1) I loved lanyard when I was a kid, and I clearly remember making sooo many keychains and bracelets. 2) This DIY reminds me of S&P’s first ever project, the Braided Chain Bracelet, from last summer. And 3) My entire bedding set during my Freshman year of college …
This is the perfect way to use up all those random pieces and leftovers from past projects. Goodness knows I have 3298478489123million odds n’ ends waiting to be used. I’ve been meaning to make a cluster bracelet for some time…so when I found this wide silver cuff bracelet at H&M, I knew it’d be …
