I’ve been trying to figure out a way to spice up a pair of black jeans for a while, and I finally figured it out. The best part about this project is that you create your own stamp with thick cardboard, making it really inexpensive. I went with my classic fave of gold + black, …

diy: Mixed Fabric Denim Vest
Initially, I was going to do this little project on the side, but decided to photograph the steps for s&p anyway. It’s a fun alternative to the usual band shirt vest! For my version I used some floral fabric from a thrifted shirt to make it a little more feminine. See how I made it …
diy: Beaded Diamond Bracelet
Everyone loves a little arm candy, especially during the summer months. Stacking on the bracelets is a fun way to mix and match different elements, something I’ve always loved doing! This particular project is pretty simple and sweet; you can probably make a few within in an afternoon. It was inspired by a bracelet I spotted …
diy: Multi-Strand Chain Watch
When you’re a crafty lady, it’s easy to build up a stash of random chains. With that said – this is a stash-buster DIY that will put all that leftover chain to good use! It’s really simple and easy to make, even for beginner DIY’ers and jewelry makers. Check out how I made it below: …
DIY: Leopard Print Suede & Rhinestone Bracelet
Anyone that knows me, knows that I love leopard print. So naturally, I’m loving this particular project. This bracelet was inspired by a piece I saw at Barneys NY, and to be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure if the leather in the original bracelet was supposed to mimic leopard spots. BUT, that’s how …
diy: Mini Dream Catcher
This project is perfect for a weekend afternoon. I love mini versions of anything, so this is definitely one of my favorites. It also uses a slightly unexpected item; small crocheted doilies found in the scrapbook/embellishment section. Once it’s finished, you can either hang it up, or attach it to a long strand of chain …
diy: Thread Wrapped Love Necklace
I was recently browsing Anthropologie’s website, and came across this necklace below. It’s adorable and fun, but I knew it could definitely be made for much less than $48. The supplies are also pretty basic, so I didn’t even need to buy additional materials. If you’re an avid DIY’er, there’s a good chance you have …
DIY: Ring Tray Holder
This is probably already a given, but my following collections are pretty huge: 1) Fabric and old clothes to re-use. 2) Jewelry, mostly handmade of course. By myself or other people. Recently, I decided I needed to figure out a better way to store my rings. I used to hold them in a small container …
diy: Box Lanyard and Chain Bracelet
Lanyard (or plastic lacing, or gimp, or boondoggle, or whatever you’d like to call it!) has definitely been making a comeback. For most of us, it’s a blast from the past that had a pretty significant role in our childhood – or at least, it did for me. I’ve been trying to think up …
diy: Colorblock Thread Wrapped Belt
I was browsing Polyvore a while back, and came across a $52 J. Crew belt. It was super cute, but I knew it could easily be DIY’d – and I happened to have all of the supplies on hand. It’s really simple, and can easily be done within an hour or so. Photo …
DIY: Lanyard Stitched Clutch
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 …
