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 …
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; …
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 …
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 …
This totally reminds me of spring and warm weather and sunshine… all of which I would love right now. It was inspired by this Lanvin Ribbon & Pearl Drop necklace, on the right. It’s also $450 at Nordstrom.com. I instantly thought of the fake flowers I used in a fascinator and birdcage veil for my friend’s …
I love taking old things and fixing them up into something completely different. I gave this 20+ year old Coach bag a makeover with brass chain and some gold paint – I’m loving the chevron prints that are everywhere lately, so the design was inspired by that! The purse used to belong to my mother, …
Just wanted to share my version of Anthropologie’s $168 Acrobatics Necklace. Instead of using vinyl, I used silk ribbon, and opted out from adding the extra paperclips for “fringe” effect around the necklace. HOW I DID IT: I wrapped silk ribbon around jumbo paper clips, and secured them with hot glue. Using small jump rings, …
…As promised! Two quick DIY’s using the leftovers from the Sweatshirt Blazer. More specifically, the collar and the bottom portion… …become a necklace and a (warm!) headband. COLLAR NECKLACE: Trim excess fabric along the seam with a good pair of scissors. Trim down either side of the collar to your desired length. Take some sew …
If you’re into band merch or anything in the DIY world, you probably have a few buttons/pins laying around. I whipped up a few rings using pins and items that you most likely have – clear nailpolish and some beads. Essentially, the clear nailpolish sort of acts like clear craft resin, which is often used …
This project uses thick elastic and the least expected item for any kind of fashion DIY… scrapbooking brads. These are usually used to accent photographs & pages, and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. I found these large circle brads in silver/gold/brass/copper, and used them to “stud” a waist belt made …
This project was inspired by two things:Â this pair of earmuffs I found on BrownsFashion.com a few months ago, and having really cold ears during New York’s chilly winters. I can’t remember the exact cost of the inspiration piece, but it was definitely pricey -a couple hundred US dollars, if not more. This version will cost …
