Marc Jacobs- Striped Star Hair Clip
I think this next tutorial is just plain cool! I loved these Marc by Marc Jacobs Star Hair Clips . Their simplicity but cool color combinations in contrasting stripes really stand out in hair. So, obviously I found a way to make my own.I got this idea from Design Sponge 's feature on making your own old fashioned feather pen . I really did intend to do it completely the way indicated, but then I found myself in the dollar store face to face with a bag of multi-coloured feathers for a buck. It kind of excited me because if I bought them, I wouldn't have to go about dying my own feather AND they were only a buck. For a whole bag! Then I scrounged around for pen refills.
DIY: wrapped feather gel pens
I’m gonna tell you right now, you can’t throw a rock and not hit a tutorial for a coffee cup sleeve out there on the web. Reversible, not reversible, buttons, Velcro, skinny, wide, you name it. For that matter, you can probably work a pattern out yourself. However, just in case your rock lands here, I’m going to share my version with you. I’ve made a few of these for Christmas and birthday gifts. You can see the one I made for my grandma here .
