This project uses thick elastic and the least expected item for any kind of fashion DIY… scrapbooking brads. These are usually used to accent photographs & pages, and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. I found these large circle brads in silver/gold/brass/copper, and used them to “stud” a waist belt made …
This project was inspired by two things: this pair of earmuffs I found on BrownsFashion.com a few months ago, and having really cold ears during New York’s chilly winters. I can’t remember the exact cost of the inspiration piece, but it was definitely pricey -a couple hundred US dollars, if not more. This version will cost …

Anthropolgie River Bow Necklace, $34.00 Supplies: – Gold beads (or …

They were cute…and $725….and most definitely DIY-able. My own version is much more toned down in terms of the chain thicknesses, mainly because I preferred a subtle, …
This project is (somewhat) inspired by the Harrison Ring by Dannijo, which is available at ShopZoeOnline.com for $155. I decided to make my own DIY statement ring with the same general concept as the $150+ original, using sew-on faceted gems. I say “general” because the concept of my version would have been more similar to the original …
