Would you believe me if I said that the faux fur pom-pom on this beanie was handmade… and detachable? All you need is a circle of faux fur fabric, a needle, and thread. Add some glue and a pin back, and you have yourself a removable pom-pom. Because you know we all like options. …
My favorite projects are the kinds that are based off of a method that’s typically used for something else. In other words, I love adapting techniques and applying them in different ways. Marbling techniques used for nail art have been spotted all over DIY-related media outlets – I’m sure you’ve seen them on Pinterest, especially. I …
Embellished frames are absolutely everywhere this summer. A staple festival piece, for sure. That trend has the actual frames covered, but what about the rest of the accessory – in other words, the arms? To me, the arms of a pair of shades are almost like blank canvases…so much can be done! To …
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 …
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 …
This project was actually created by accident (somewhat!). Recently, I was looking for a hair tie on my desk of crafty craziness, but instead found a roll of sewing elastic. It made me think of the Twistbands that I’ve received – and loved – in two of my past Birchbox subscriptions. My hair is super straight and pretty …
Up until recently, I was never much of a hat person. Actually – I was never a hat person, period. But for whatever reason, I’ve started to wear beanies as the temperature starts to drop. I already own a few (back when I used to try and be a hat person!) but decided to give …
This was one of those projects that I started without any real direction or idea as to what I was about to do. I’m actually really happy with the outcome, considering I kind of just winged it…but those are always the best kind of projects 😉 Alexander McQueen Ivory/Black Clutch, $1,850 Photo Credit: Polyvore/Matchesfashion.com …
I call these “faux turban” headbands because they aren’t wrap around headbands made of only fabric. They can also pass for a head scarf tied around your head (because of the middle knot). In reality, they’re just conventional headbands wrapped in fabric, with a knot carefully placed. I made these because no matter how much …
If you’ve been reading s&p for a while, you know that I love using unconventional, unexpected materials. Maybe not necessarily weird (well, sometimes…rubber snakes, anyone?) but the more random, the better. This one brings in a popular item from the beauty world – Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effects. Photo Credit: SallyHansen.com I’ve seen …
I have to admit – I’m typically not a glitter kind of girl. But as of a few days ago, that might have changed…or least when it comes to ultra fine glitter. I’ve always thought it’s pretty, especially when I’m looking at entire spectrum of colors. My heart totally skips a beat whenever I …
