If you follow me on social media, it’s no secret that triangles are my favorite shape. I love the simplicity of geometric designs, and how shapes can be combined in various ways…especially triangles! There’s something edgy and off beat about them. This dainty and simple necklace is a great beginner/intermediate project for those of you …
This week’s inspiration is all about beads…lots of them! Yesterday, I shared some inspirational photos involving intricate beaded pieces. Of course, the projects here at s&p will be much more practical in terms of tutorials, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with the gorgeous beaded accessories. Today, I’m starting off the bead …
While “sugar skulls” are traditionally associated with the Day of the Dead (a Mexican holiday, and celebrated in other cultures as well), I’ve had this project idea on my list for months – so I thought I’d share this right before Cinco De Mayo (another Mexican holiday). I love anything having to do with florals …
Another hardware project! This one doesn’t even look like hardware related, which is one of my favorite aspects of this necklace. I made it on a whim, and I’m pretty happy with the outcome. I’m loving the pearl and metal combination. See how I made it, below! >> Supplies: – Large pearl beads -Jewelry …
This necklace was inspired by a Tarina Tarantino piece I recently spotted on Instagram. It reminded me of these rose embellishments that are at Michael’s in the scrapbooking section. I chose red for this project – just in time for Valentine’s Day – but also made some “darker” versions in black and gray. Weatherstaff Floral …
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 …
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 – …
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; …
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 …
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, …
Like most things on Anthropologie’s website, I adored this River Bow Necklace, but knew it was definitely DIY-able. While $34 isn’t even that expensive for a necklace, this could easily be made for way less – and even in a different color, if you wanted! Anthropolgie River Bow Necklace, $34.00 Supplies: – Gold beads (or …
