Inspired by this Slasher Knit Sweater, I got busy on a plain heathered blue sweatshirt I bought last year that I hadn’t worn yet. Remember when I bought like 5 sweatshirts from the men’s department at Asos last year? {if not, check out my outfit posts aztec sweatshirt & my WTF sweatshirt} Well, this one …
When I started thinking about my DIY Gold Snake Shoes and went to the local toy store to find the perfect snakes, I also bought a longer/larger snake with the idea of making a belt out of it. And then it seemed like an infinite amount of time passed as I tried to think of …
Flipping through this month’s Marie Claire magazine, I spotted this fabulously asymmetrical blue bulky beaded necklace {pg. 112} and was immediately inspired to make one of my own. These dripping beaded statement necklaces called Diorganic Leafy Waterfalls were shown on the Dior Spring/Summer 2014 Runway, but it wasn’t until I saw one lying flat in …
by Michele Redmon I recently made a couple of fun banners to decorate our bare walls for Valentine’s Day with (You can see them here!). They’re inexpensive, totally customizable and today I’m going to show you just how simple they are! You’ll Need: * Scissors * Letter stencil templates (these are Helvetica font) * A …
I was astounded when I first learned how easy it was to etch glass a few years ago and quickly bought a small bottle of etching cream to monogram everything I owned. And then it sat there amongst my DIY craft supplies for years unused. It wasn’t until I recently partnered with Ecco Domani and …
Inspired a little by these Snake Ankle Strap Sandals and a little more by these Alligator T-strap Sandals both by Giuseppe Zanotti and both over $1500 for the pair, I though why not make my own DIY Snake Sandals and see how they compare? I originally was going to use the black sandals as in …
I’ve been dreaming of doing this simple DIY for weeks now… I’m not sure why it took me so long, but yesterday I finally whipped it up and I’m in love. Wear it to top off a simple sweater & boom! it’s unique! Wear it against bare skin and even layer it over other necklaces …
Well, I thought I was totally original when I came up with this idea late last night {not in that it was a “bow belt” obviously}, but today, in searching for the materials, I found a similar bow belt project using the same studded ribbon. However, mine is still different enough and you don’t need …
I love our fireplace. It’s big and covered from floor to ceiling in gray stone or some sort of irregular slate slabs, but it doesn’t have a mantel. It actually has a small hood with painted flowers on it and it’s original and I kind of love it because it’s so unique. We also have …
Yes, ANOTHER PIPE CLEANER TREE TOPPER!! I obviously can’t get enough. They’re just too easy and too fabulous! While I do love this one, it’s a bit difficult to photograph and almost looks like it needs another, smaller, snowflake in front of it. But I like it. I used the same technique as my GEO …
Today’s DIY is by Michele Redmon ~ And I love it! Can’t wait to try it! It’s ironic that I should be the one to do this project, since I was always so eager to leave my home state. But as Dorothy said, “There’s no place like home.” You can hate it, leave it, but …
Filling clear glass ornaments is nothing new, nor does it actually need a DIY tutorial. However, since they are so pretty, and since I strung them on rope and hung them as garland, I thought I’d share it anyway for a little inspiration. What You’ll Need… Clear glass ornaments. I used glass hearts I …
This is the faux tree that Micheal’s sent me to decorate last year, and because it’s too small for our living room now, it gets to make the upstairs hallway merry and bright! And since the upstairs hallway is filled with the furnishings that once belonged in our Game Room/Den in our old house, including …
It wasn’t until I made my Spectacular Starburst Tree Topper last year that I discovered the awesome that is pipe cleaners. And not just any pipe cleaners -metallic pipe cleaners. For some reason beyond my comprehension, when I use them in holiday projects, they go from being tacky craft supplies to fun and fabulous Christmas …
Today’s DIY comes to you from my fabulous contributor, Michele Redmon If you’re like me then you’re drawn to simple, uncluttered objects with unexpected visual interest. In this project the pairing of plain terra cotta pots with accents of gold leafing gives us just that, with the perfect combination of rustic simplicity and glamour. In …
