diy: Thread Wrapped Love Necklace

I was recently browsing Anthropologie’s website, and came across this necklace below. It’s adorable and fun, but I knew it could definitely be made for much less than $48. The supplies are also pretty basic, so I didn’t even need to buy additional materials. If you’re an avid DIY’er, there’s a good chance you have …

diy: Box Lanyard and Chain Bracelet

  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 …

diy: Spiked Crystal Ring

  By now, most of you already know that I love anything that mixes edgy with feminine. So it’s no surprise that I couldn’t help but make a ring inspired by a Tarina Tarantino piece, which can be found here. Priced at $176, it’s the perfect combination of spikes and crystals. I’m loving this combination…so …

DIY: Lanyard Double Chain Bracelet

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 …

diy: Painted Seashell Earrings

    Nothing says summer like seashells, especially in a bright shade of coral. These earrings are handmade versions of the “SHREVE,CRUMP & LOW Estate Collection Coral Shell Clip Earrings“, found on 1stdibs.com. Super cute, but also $4,250. Obviously the 14K gold might have something to do with it, but I could personally care less …

diy: Stacked Barrette Necklace

  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 – …

DIY: Cluster Bracelet

  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 …

DIY: Recycled Plastic Triangle Earrings

 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 …

DIY: Spike Ring

By now, I think it’s pretty obvious I have a soft spot for statement jewelry. This ring creates the illusion of a spike going through your finger, although the ring is SO lightweight you probably won’t even feel it. EDIT: Everyone keeps asking where I got the spikes. They’re NOT spikes! Technically, at least. They’re …

DIY: Snake Wrap Bracelet

This DIY starts off pretty crazy – but I promise the finished piece is way cooler! You might even have all of the supplies already…except the rubber snake. If you’re into accessories of any kind, I’m sure you’ve noticed the snake trend going on in rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. It’s been around for a while, …

DIY: Rhinestone Multi-Finger Ring

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: …
