There are honestly SO many thread-wrapped-rhinestone-cord-chain-etc etc etc tutorials out there. Regardless, I still decided to make and share this because of the actual supplies it uses. The cord used in this project is actually something extremely ordinary and will cost you practically nothing. …It used to be the handle of a gift bag! Actually, …
This is a quick and easy bracelet that can be made within a few minutes. It uses miniature metal hinges which are pretty much tiny versions of the hinges you see on doors. I had two on hand from a past freelance project, but never ended up needing them. A while ago I saw a …
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 …
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 …
While browsing Anthropologie, I came across this bracelet ($28). I happened to have all of the supplies except the bangle, which I picked up at Michael’s for $4. Even if you bought all of the supplies, your total would probably be barely half of Anthro’s version. There are endless color possibilities when it comes to …
Quick, easy, and can be done in an afternoon. I used a thrifted mens’ flannel (by Gap and purchased from Goodwill for a few bucks) and teal dye. Of course, you can use any color you’d like. This would work better with a plaid shirt that has white incorporated into the print, in order to …
Some time ago I came across a $65 jacket on Urban Outfitters’ website. The jacket, made of a denim vest with sweater sleeves, is currently sold out. I added it to my “to do” list and kept a mental note to keep an eye for the perfect supplies. Last month, I found an Aeropostale denim …
Contrary to what most people may think, I have a soft spot for preppy pieces. This project was actually inspired by a Stila holiday display that I spotted at Ulta. I wish I had been able to snap a quick shot of it – the model was wearing some kind of bow tie, with tassels …
I love spur of the moment ideas. I thought of this while simply wandering through the hardware store (in this case, Home Depot). Who knew that Home Depot had free samples of hardwood flooring? I know this isn’t the most surprising thing ever…but they’re *the* perfect size for coasters! When I spotted these, I placed a few …
With the holidays on their way, you can never go wrong with a sparkly and fun sequin DIY. (But if you’re anything like me, sequins are welcome all year round!) This is an easy way to give life to an old sweater or shirt. I used a Forever 21 sweater, which I actually found at …
I’m always looking for different ways to use up my scraps and remnants. I’ve altered, cut up and reconstructed a TON of t-shirts over the years, especially in your basic white and black. I whipped up this scarf using the black t-shirt remnants in my supply stash, and decided to photograph it for a quick …
