I love quick and easy projects that help use up those leftover materials. This bracelet can be made in a matter of minutes (if not just one!) and is super easy to customize. I made 4 in one sitting, and will probably be making a handful more! I knew there was a reason why I’ve …
An ongoing long term goal of mine is to use up the fabric leftovers in my stash in unique ways. I even have an entire board on Pinterest for scrap fabric projects so that I stay inspired. This little (big?) endeavor of mine is how this project came about…that, and adoring everything lace. Especially in …
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 …
Now that spring has officially rolled around, my love for florals is in it’s prime! I’ve been experimenting with stencils quite often lately, so I couldn’t help but make a flower printed garment for the season. The great part of this project is that you can use any stencil you’d like (leaves? daisies? filigree?) …
Apparently, I like to take sleeves and sew them to a contrasting garment. If you’ve been following s&p for a while, you might remember the Leather Sleeved Denim Jacket in 2011 (I wear this one ALL the time) and the Sweater Sleeved Denim Jacket in 2012. I tend to layer the first one during the fall and winter, and …
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 …
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, …
I am SO excited to share this project, because it’s inspired by something out of the ordinary (at least, in the world of fashion). A couple months ago, I saw a photo of cookies decorated with gorgeous icing flowers. They looked delicate, and had vintage chic vibe to them. After doing a little research, I …
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 …
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 …
It’s been a long while since I did a gloves project, so here’s one for this winter! It’s extremely quick and easy, but still very much quirky and cute. I used liquid gilding (by the Martha Stewart Craft line) and a rhinestone flat back to create the illusion of a ring. I’d recommend applying a …
