If you were to map out my typical shopping track record, it might go a little something like this: I see it.
leather scoobidoo bracelet
If you went to Summer Camp as a kid, you'll totally remember making lanyard keychains with that brightly colored plastic lace {I had tons of them!} ...so I thought, why not do it with leather lace? And I did. And I love them! Pair them with stacks of other bangles and bracelets to add a little texture! {p.s. you can also make this into a necklace, headband or belt as well}DIY Proenza Schouler Rope Necklace – HonestlyWTF
Lauren and I have been waiting for an excuse to use colorful bungee cords for some time now. And after seeing this Proenza Schouler necklace from their Resort 2011 collection , we jumped at the opportunity to recreate our own version of this amazing piece of jewelry! Start by cutting a 10″ and a 15″ piece of bungee (or climbing rope). Burn the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.
Eile Talllinnas läks päris hästi, võistlustel me mingit head kohta ei saavutanud, aga see eest ootab ees terve nädalavahetus Pärnus Koolitantsu finaalis. Nagu arvata oli ei leidnud ma ühtegi ajakirja ja poodidest käisime me ka ainult Zaras. Ja nõme on lugeda kõikidest blogidest, kui lahe kirbuturul oli - ma olen nüüd kade, sest ma ei saanud sinna minna. Kuigi ma olen täna veel väga väsinud, leidsin ma aega ühe käevõru tegemiseks. Tegemist on siis käevõru-sõrmusega ja ma nägin seda kunagi ühel pildil:

DIY Wrap Bracelet
The moment we saw designer Nicole Akong ‘s dramatically colorful jewelry collection, Conquistadora , we were smitten. Honestly, what’s not to love about these ethnic and tribal inspired pom pom necklaces? And how can we resist figuring out how these beauties were made?

Embroidery Thread Tassel Earrings
I only really go with trends if I like them - as I think anyone should do! - you like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. Tassels seem to be one of those trends that seem to be loved by many, especially in the form of jewely.
DIY Friendship Necklace – HonestlyWTF
As soon as Lauren and I saw this editorial in Flare Magazine, we knew we had to recreate these awesome, friendship bracelet-like necklaces. We promise they are super easy to make and the perfect way to pass the time during those long summer roadtrips. To make a 2-tone necklace, cut a long piece of rope and wrap two different colors of embroidery thread around its own bobbin.
The moment we saw Phillip Lim ‘s Box Braid Collar Necklace , we were immediately overcome with a wave of nostalgia. Our memories of a neon, plastic box braid lanyard was suddenly transformed into a sophisticated leather jewelry component. Honestly, brilliant! Inspired by our fondness of Lim’s necklace and our love of utilizing hardware, we made our own interpretation of a box braid necklace. And in case you forgot how to make your favorite childhood summertime craft, take a trip down memory lane with us! Start by cutting the suede in 4 three-yard pieces.

Painted Rhinestone Earrings
The painted rhinestone jewelry by Tom Binns have caused quite the stir - I'm sure you've seen the painted rhinestone necklaces on other DIY fashion blogs. When I saw his jewelry on Net-A-Porter, I knew I that my leftover rhinestone trim from M&J trimming would be perfect for some earring versions! Jenni at I Spy DIY also did a mini roundup on some of these awesome necklaces. Supplies:Colorblock Paperclip Necklace
My first guest post/fashion DIY at DollarStoreCrafts.com is up! A colorblock paperclip necklace, inspired by the $168 Acrobatics Necklace at Antrhopologie . This one is a much simpler version of the Antrhopologie piece...although I've attempted the more complex, full on version of the Acrobatic Necklace. I'll probably share that sometime soon.After seeing two of my fave DIYers, ... Love Maegan and Honestly...WTF , take it old school in recent projects, I could not help but pick up some Lester Lace (or gimp) when I was at Blick Art the other day. I love the idea of reviving this look for the summer! Swimsuit designer Brette Sandler, sold the arm candy ( above ) last Summer, which could be an uber chic look with a chunky gold watch and a few bangles.
scoubidou bracelet
So a wizard tells me that she’d personally include something organic between the geometric structure and what will I do, disobey the wizard ? Pfft, absolutely not. So this is my second attempt, I do realise the rocks look like massive chewed gum in the photos but that was as organic looking as I could go, with the limited choice and all. The irregular shape of the rock made it quite hard to form a geometric structure around it and the weight kept unbalancing the whole damn thing – in the end I came out with something completely different from what I’d planned. So again, mucho respect to jewellery makers, you guys rock; no pun intended. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
