I realize it’s July…but you know those chilly summer nights like to sneak up on us once in a while. I’ve had this navy blue Hanes sweatshirt for a while, so I thought it’d be perfect to make a semi-casual cover up for those nights. I also had some lace leftover from the Ombre …
I know I’ve been going kind of crazy with the in depth sewing projects lately…so here’s a simple, easy necklace. While running errands yesterday, I stopped by Dollar Tree to grab some packaging tape, & spotted this pack of 3 barrettes (for $1). I instantly thought of a mod, retro inspired statement necklace – …
Ombre. Lace. Flowy. Summer, anyone? I’m stating right here from the get go that this project is an adaptation of Mackenzie’s Lace Shirt DIY, over at Strokes of Serendipity. I have recreated this project with her permission! This shirt is more or less what Mackenzie made — I just used a different type of lace and dyed it. I’ve …
My favorite part of summer (besides iced coffee, warm nights & beach volleyball): Summer dresses. The best thing about dresses is that you can easily make one from almost any shirt. By now I think it’s pretty obvious that I love re-purposing old clothes, & this dress is just that. I used a thrifted shirt that’s …
There’s a really good chance you’ve seen the amazing studded trench coats from Burberry’s Spring 2011 line. I think it goes without saying they’re pretty awesome: Burberry.com, SS11 Runway Collection Left to right: $7,295 $5,795 $12,995 Even if I had that pocket change laying around, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to drop …
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 …
One step DIY’s are the best. Am I right or am I right? I recently made this scarf into a more wearable piece of clothing, by simply cutting two slits. It’s all about where you cut the slits. The best part: you can still wear it as a scarf if you wanted to. Some …
I used to love t-shirt transfers when I was younger, but eventually got fed up at how the image would (inevitably) crack and crease over time. But! A few weeks ago, I thought – if you can’t change the fact that it’s going to crack…why not just run with it? And who says they …
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 …
I have a guest DIY over at the lovely Geneva’s DIY fashion blog/directory, A Pair and a Spare! It’s a really simple – but fun – shoe makeover. PS – S&P’s Coffee Stirrer Necklace was posted at Dollar Store Crafts recently, so go check that out if you haven’t already! xo, kirsten
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: …
