DIY Duct Tape Accessories

The Brit & Co. Scotch Color & Patterns jewelry is a stylish and affordable way to spruce up one's wardrobe. At first glance, one would not assume that these are made out of duct tape, which is why they are so appealing. To create these pieces, the materials needed include duct tape, scissors, a ruler and accessories such as earring backs, barrettes, comb clips and pins that can be found at any craft store. You simply twist the tape, and then attach the accessory backs. http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brit-co-scotch-color-patterns

guest post {Marie Darby…diy photo lampshades

As many of you requested, Marie is sharing a little tutorial here on how she made her lampshades. When she made them she was not planning on doing a tutorial for this blog, so be sure to thank her for taking the time to write all this out.

DIY Bronzer | PETA.org

http://www.peta.org/living/beauty-and-personal-care/diy-bronzer.aspx?CommentModerated=true The following article was written by Keegan Baur. Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool, crisp air, the trendy sweaters , the seasonal baked goods , and the anticipation of Halloween costumes and parties. But as summer comes to a close, many of us lament the shorter days and the end of beach season. Without the opportunity to lounge lakeside or poolside, our tans will begin to fade, and paleness will return.

Last Christmas I almost had a breakdown... We had just moved in to our home the month before, but I didn't want to let that prevent us from having the holliest jolliest Christmas. My intentions were good. I wanted to make Christmas special for everyone, but I learned the hard way that I should have been planning ahead!! And that's how it happened. http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/2011/08/photo-tile-coasters-using-resin.html

Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle)

Re-purposing: Tshirts into 5-strand-braided-headbands

http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/06/repurposing-tshirts-into-5-strand-braided-headbands.html I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven. I decided they were charging way too much for something that could be made with t-shirt scraps. And that means free.
