Nail polish jewelry. When I was in China last summer, I remember noticing that most girls had ponytails tied with a scrunchie with bunny ears.
I could never pull this off, but thought it was adorable, and kept it in mind for an Easter DIY. It's a great way to use fabric scraps, a simple accessory to wear at an Easter party, and a sweet Easter gift for a little girl. When I was done with the DIY, I saw that there was a similar one on YouTube. Since it's done, I'm still posting my version, but if you would rather follow video instructions, then just hop on over to Ann Le's video tutorial. Also, I wanted to take a picture on myself to show the final result, but I really REALLY look awful these days, as a result of that never-ending sickness and tiredness.

I just love this holiday, spring is just coming around and life is just so much better now that the snow is melting. Decal Penny Pendant. Drapery Ring Pendants. Button jewelry is nothing new, but when I found such a beautiful cupid-on-a-bird button the other day on Etsy, it arrived in my mailbox the same day as some vintage brass 1″ drapery rings I bought on ebay.
They were a perfect combination for a unique pendant. I dug around my studio for other small round objects and also found an old brass drawer knob piece, yellow and purple plastic buttons, an old tool-check tag and a little bling from a broken earring. I bent some gold colored wire through the holes of the plastic buttons and using E-6000 Adhesive, glued the different items into or onto the rings. The shank of the bird button didn’t need trimming off when using the drapery ring, as it didn’t stick out as much as it would without the depth of the ring.
Now, with a simple chain, I have cool, vintage interchangeable pendants for different outfits or moods. Crafty: PT and TP Roll Pendants.
