The Forge: {she made it} jersey weave sweatshirt. Did you all have a good weekend? We pretty much got snowed in so during nap time I thought i'd scratch this little diy off my to-do list... This was the inspiration for this diy. i've had it pinned on pinterest for an eternity. so when I came across $3 sweatshirts at wal-mart the other day i felt like it was just meant to be. i resisted grabbing more than two (i am so bad when it comes to good deals) brought them home and gave them both a good wash and dry. the other one is white and i already have something in mind for it... like it? Would love it if you pinned it :) For more fashion DIY posts simply click HERE. DIY Découpage Floral Bag - Honestly WTF. When H&M asked us to DIY a boho-inspired item for their summer issue, découpage was the first thing that came to mind.

Honestly, does it get any better than customizing a simple handbag with a brilliant floral print? However you create it, it’ll be satisfying to know that you’ve designed yourself a one of a kind bag!

Squeeze a dollop of colored craft paint into a small disposable container. Apply a layer of paint to the desired section. Allow the first layer to dry completely. While the paint dries, carefully cut out a handful of flowers from the fabric.

Arrange them onto the painted section of the bag. Remove the painter’s tape when the Mod Podge has dried clear and your floral handbag is complete!

I must confess, I love jcrew so much. I even love the bags! (Hate to throw them away.) Then it hit me: why not make a rope bracelet from the handles? Here’s how I did it in just a few steps. First, remove the handles from the bag. Braid your bracelet, then use another clothespin to hold it in place. Now for the only tricky bit. Here are some closeups of the knots so that you can see them better. Now to finish it up, take the piece of the handle that you trimmed and knot it around the other end, then remove the clothespin. Then you can tidy up and trim off to even things up. To wear, just slip the big knot into the back. That’s it! I think it’ll go great with all my striped shirts this summer — I have a major stripe obsession going on right now! Xo, Cat Eye Makeup Tutorial - The Bare Intimates. S'mores Kits.

Real Wedding: Brittany + Paul | Real Weddings. Erica from Thoughtful Day sent us a link to this sweet couple on their wedding day. The big flowers are so excellent, aren’t they? Brittany wanted to bring some of the magical imagery from Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen (where they had their first date) and the fantasy of Hans Christian Andersen fairytales into their wedding decor, i.e. big, quirky signs and magnificent, oversized florals (because Brittany LOVES all things floral).

The flowers are completely amazing. Brittany is wearing her mom’s dress. So cute! To create the 20 huge banners, Brittany sent blank canvas to a bunch of friends and family and had them paint the banners instead! She gave them some Scandinavian garden inspiration and a color palette and waited for the finished pieces to be mailed back. Brittany also spent an inordinate amount of time creating her invites. Make sure you check out the full explanation of the process and more pretty photos on the Rowley blog.

Apr 10 Here is a little fun party garland made out of my favorite material: crepe paper.

Materials Needed: Crepe Paper Folds and Scissors Step 1: Cut off a 1.5″ piece off a fold of crepe paper Step 2: Grab the end section.

Finally, if you haven’t read them already, be sure check out the other articles in the series based on Nintendo’s Mario series: Part 1 (Mario, Yoshi, Peach & Bowser), Part 2 (Luigi, Daisy, Toad & Wario) and Part 3 (Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Waluigi & Toadette).
