Summer Feather Hair Accessories

Your new summer hair accessory? Well,... mine at least. So fresh and earthy. This is a really easy DIY using items that are probably already in your home… And thats exactly the way I like it. haha.

Crop Top DIY

My name is Kara Haupt and I blog at I Just Might Explode. I'm excited to share a super simple DIY for one of my favorite summer trends, crop tops! I love the over-sized, boxy shirts showing up in stores, but was wary about investing in more styles since they're pretty trendy. I picked up this shirt at Goodwill for $4 and decided to make my own! For this DIY, you will need:An unused and/or thrifted shirtA crop top to trace (Mine is from H&M)ScissorsPinsCute trimFunky thread (I used some metallic thread I picked up a thriftstore!) First, slip the top you're altering onto a hanger and then slide the crop top over it. Then next, use fabric scissors to cut along the edge of the crop top. Once you've cut all around your top, grab some pretty, vintage trim, fold it in half and stitch around the bottom.

Pair your new top with some patterned shorts and you have yourself a cute, trendy summer look! Photos taken by Kip Stutzman. XOXO, Kara. How To…Make Your Own 1960′s Inspired Mod Floral Hair Wreath (Tutorial by Elsie Flannigan) · DIY Tutorials · Guest Posts · How To... I heart Elsie.

I’ve been following her awesome crafty blog, A Beautiful Mess, for the past year or so am not afraid to admit that I’m a bit of an super fan. Elsie got engaged to Jeremy in August and so secretly I was hoping she’d share all her wedding planning and DIY ideas on her blog. Last week I received an email from Elise and her sister Emma telling me that not only have they started their own wedding blog, Le Wedding Party, but that Elsie would like to share some of her amazing DIY tutorials on Rock n Roll Bride!

Eeek…I am so excited that she even knows my little blog exists, let alone that she wants to share her stuff with us! I hope you enjoy Elsie’s awesome 1960′s headband tutorial, and if you do be sure to let us know because there are many more where this came from if you want them! D.I.Y. Wool Poncho.
