If you’ve been following s&p for a while, you know denim vests (and jackets) are some of my favorite projects to work on. They’re such versatile garments… perfect for those lukewarm summer months, spring and autumn days, and layering in the winter. Most of my past denim vest/jacket tutorials involve fabric directly on top of the …
This is another one of those projects that I’ve been meaning to do for ages. My mental (and physical) DIY to do list goes on for miles, so maybe someday I’ll get around to everything! This how-to features a graffiti look on a pair of unbleached white hi tops that I recently bought. Keep on …
The simplest ideas often make the best kind of projects. The infinity sign is a popular symbol, right up there with peace signs, hearts, etc. With just a short strand of a wire and a little bit of handiwork, you can create your very own infinity symbol necklace. Another great beginner DIY project, too! Jewelry …
I think it goes without saying that I love anything with any kind of studs. Admittedly, despite the name, this blog tends to lead more towards the studs side (though I do love a good strand of pearls!). I recently whipped up a mixed media bracelet that I’ve been wearing with my Ettika bracelet (Metal …
If there’s anything I love about DIY, it’s being able to take an idea from one project and adapt it for another. Last December, I altered a thrifted Club Monaco leather jacket with some filigree glass stencils and off-black paint (click here for the project!). This time around, I used the same method on a …
I know, I know…New York just had a snow storm, and I’m over here making summer tops. Something tells me that I’m ready for the cold weather to be done. I still have a couple winter DIY’s brewing for the next few months – but when I thought of this idea, I was too excited …
It’s kind of funny how some projects work out. The alternating dome and pyramid studs on this jacket wasn’t my original plan — but I’m so glad it became a plan. I actually didn’t have enough of either style to make 5 rows on both sleeves. But then I thought, why not combine the two? I think …
I’m super excited to share this DIY collab with BC Footwear! I took a pair of the already rad Go On Boots in Burgundy and used vinyl electrical tape (yup, you read that right) to add an edgy set of stripes. Electrical tape is not only sturdy and waterproof, but can be easily purchased at …
For the past few years, I’ve been storing my tea bags in a large tin container covered in vintage floral fabric. The fabric was fun, but at the rate that I drink tea, it was never completely full. I just felt like the tin was bulky and taking up too much space. Yesterday, I came …
With a little inspiration from a $795 Isabel Marant sweatshirt, I recently whipped up this studded top with some iron on studs. It’s simple, but a great way to dress up a fairly plain sweatshirt. It’s also a great beginner DIY! Not to mention, if you’re looking for an intro on how to apply iron …
My original intention was to share this project last week (see: Sparkle & Fade) but like many creative tasks, it’s not unlikely to run into a bump or two. I would rather take my time and do something right – instead of rushing it – so I decided to wait until the beginning of the …
