DIY Terrarium Necklace Tutorial. DIY: Tutorial - Framed Vertical Succulent Garden... ...or as I like to call it, Living Art!
UPDATE 3.19.11: It's filling in... I have a small pile of vintage frames collecting dust so I thought I'd use one to make a hanging succulent garden. I didn't have much luck finding one particular tutorial that best suited my needs so I gathered mental notes from a few sites, measured my frame and went off to the hardware store with little more than a concept of how it was all going to come together. I also brought Farilla along to help carry supplies for moral support. He was none too pleased once he realized I was kinda making things up as I went along...but he finally came around! My Supplies: 1- Vintage frame with a 16" x 20" interior opening 1- 20"x24" piece of 1" Chicken Wire 1- 9' long piece of 2"x"2" 1 - 22"x 26" piece of oak plywood for the backing a bunch of nails (some 2 1/2 " & some 1") 1 spray can of clear satin water based outdoor Varathane Diamond Spar Urethane ~10 lbs of cactus soil 50+ succulent clippings.
How to Turn a Pallet into a Garden. Good news and bad news.
I had planned to film a short video showing you how to make a pallet garden, but the weather didn’t cooperate. I was stapling the landscape fabric onto the pallet when it started drizzling and got really windy. That’s the bad news. But I know I promised a tutorial today, so I took photos and have kept my word to share how to make the pallet garden. I tried to be as detailed as possible. So keep reading my pallet loving friends, instructions on how to make your own pallet garden are just a few lines away… Find a Pallet The first thing you need to do is–obviously–find a pallet.

Recently, I've been researching costumes for our band League of Space Pirates.
I came across a thigh chain, and I'm enamored with them. Since the chain is draped, they work well with many different sized legs. You have to keep in mind what length of chain would drape nicely and make wearing it easy. Loose chain works well, since tight would restrict blood flow and create skin ripples...just more comfortable all around. The thigh chains are great alone with classy shorts or a nice mini skirt. Now that you've learned the basics of making a thigh chain garter, here are some intricate creations for inspiration. Since the large amount of chain would make this leg chain heavy, having it stabilized with a chain around the hips is a great solution. The chains are attached to the leggings with fabric loops.

Thread three closed jump rings onto an open jump ring. Close the ring. Spread the three rings apart, with the rings looking exactly as shown below. The bottom ring will be the end of the necklace and the top two rings, which are spread open over the middle ring, will be where the chain mail begins. Keeping the rings in place with your forefinger and thumb, take an open jump ring and hook it through the front side of the two rings.
Add 2 closed rings to the open ring and close. Spread the two rings apart in the same way as the first set of rings. Add 2 closed rings and close. To add an optional fourth row, lay the necklace flat and hook an open ring through first and second closed rings on the right side. 20 Awesome DIY Projects.
