With a little inspiration from a $795 Isabel Marant sweatshirt, I recently whipped up this studded top with some iron on studs. It’s simple, but a great way to dress up a fairly plain sweatshirt. It’s also a great beginner DIY! Not to mention, if you’re looking for an intro on how to apply iron …
Here’s a little side project that I whipped up yesterday while I snowed in! A tiny terrarium that can fit in the palm of my hand. The glass portion is actually an upside down candle holder. A great, inexpensive alternative to most glass containers (especially those specifically made for terrariums). I cut out a green …
A few months ago, I was wandering around Williamsburg with my good friend Abby. We stopped by Buffalo Exchange and I scored a Club Monaco leather jacket (and she found practically new Banana Republic jeans!). I have yet to start using it, mainly because I felt like it could use that extra something. I decided …
I’ve always found it so interesting how past projects can inspire future tutorials. It’s even more intriguing when the latter project is completely different! This DIY – made with PVC tubing from Home Depot – was actually inspired by the Vinyl Tube Bracelets from almost exactly a year ago. With just a little fabric and …
Recently, Martha Stewart Crafts sent over some amazing supplies for me to check out and whip up a holiday project with. One of my favorite Martha Stewart Crafts supplies is Glass Etching Cream, which has really opened up an entire bucket of possibilities for me. For this holiday DIY, I decided to etch some mirrors …
Recently, I dressed up a pair of plain boots with materials that I already had on hand… jersey fabric, random chains, and pendants! I love the creative vibe this project gives off. The boots were actually a lucky find: only $10 at Goodwill, brand new. I had been waiting and waiting and waiting to finally come across …
This home décor project is perfect for the sewing loving lady in your life – whether it’s yourself or a friend! It’s also a great recycling project; I used a soup can, leftover fabric, mason jar lids and miscellaneous buttons to create this candle. You can take it even further and use wax remnants from …
Now that it’s officially fall, it’s time for some flannel projects! This one was inspired by a shirt I spotted on Free People’s website; I happened to have everything I needed to recreate it, so of course I went right to it. This is a great project for those of you learning how to sew, too. …
During a trip to Target a few weeks ago, I spotted some feather wall art that caught my eye. It was totally my style and taste, but I took one glance at it and knew I could easily re-create it. All I needed was a shadow box. This is the inspiration piece that I spotted …
This week’s inspiration is none other than granny chic tapestry prints. Designers such as Rag & Bone and Dolce and Gabanna have both sent tapestry prints down the runway, while such patterns can be spotted in an array of street style photographs. As promised, I created a project that presents this granny-inspired style in an …
The main concept for this quick DIY tutorial is to share a tip for lining up iron-on letters. Plus, it’s pretty darn cute. Let’s get started! Supplies:– White tank top (this obviously tie dyed before this picture was taken!)– Fabric dye (& rubber bands)– Iron-on letters (c/o My Next Style)– Scrap of t-shirt jersey …
