Another simple project using hardware supplies – in this case, a compression cap. For other hardware related projects, check out the Stone Filled Metal Bracelet and the Fabric Hinge Bracelet! This was a great way for me to use up some leftover turquoies stone chips. I had such an awkward amount left, …
This is a quick and easy bracelet that can be made within a few minutes. It uses miniature metal hinges which are pretty much tiny versions of the hinges you see on doors. I had two on hand from a past freelance project, but never ended up needing them. A while ago I saw a …
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 …
I’ve always loved roaming the non-jewelry aisles to find materials to use for necklaces, bracelets, etc. The scrapbook aisle is perfect for this, and really opens up a whole new batch of possibilities. I personally don’t scrap book, but you can find some useful supplies for fashion projects in this section. For this project, I …
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 …
When you’re a crafty lady, it’s easy to build up a stash of random chains. With that said – this is a stash-buster DIY that will put all that leftover chain to good use! It’s really simple and easy to make, even for beginner DIY’ers and jewelry makers. Check out how I made it below: …
This project is perfect for a weekend afternoon. I love mini versions of anything, so this is definitely one of my favorites. It also uses a slightly unexpected item; small crocheted doilies found in the scrapbook/embellishment section. Once it’s finished, you can either hang it up, or attach it to a long strand of chain …
