You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection.

Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet. You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Start braiding. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over.

The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!! (top image from here, rest of images by Honestly…WTF) DIY Tiny Top Hat. Cut a long strip of cardboard to the exact height and width of desired hat. (Make sure the corrugated cardboard used has the holes facing vertically.) For my hat, I used the dimensions of 3 x 9 inches, leaving a 1/2 to 3/4 inch tab at one end. Finally dimensions are 3 x 9 3/4 inches. Using colored felt, cut a long strip of fabric to the same dimensions as the strip of cardboard leaving some room in the width. I wrapped by cardboard strip around a vitamin bottle that I found in my medicine cabinet.

Now it should look like a tube. Almost Genius. My Collection of Funny Emails. Send funny emails to your friends! Why didn’t I think of that? You’ll be uttering those words more than once at these ingenious little tips, tricks and ideas that solve everyday problems... some you never knew you had!

Love Is In The Air: Create Your Own Heart-Shaped Bokeh.

Lately, the combination of a busy school schedule and my addiction to Instagram has resulted in serious camera-neglect. I've found little time and reason to take the ol' DSLR out. So when I saw this simple lens filter DIY, I jumped at the opportunity to play around and have fun– and just in time for Valentine's Day! You don't need to be a serious photographer to create heart-shaped bokeh. ”Bokeh” is a photography term that essentially means blur.

In photography– especially food photography– this blur creates an aesthetic quality by keeping the subject of your photo in crisp focus, while the background appears blurry. At night, lights that are out of focus create circles of color that give photos a magical and ethereal feel that I love. The circle is created by light coming into the lens and outlines the shape of the aperture. Manipulating this shape essentially involves creating a new (and slightly smaller) aperture with a custom shape, like a heart or whatever shape you desire. D.I.Y.

One of these is a lamp made from plastic cups I’ve seen at taf, the art foundation, in the Monastiraki region in the center of Athens.

When I first saw it at taf, I was amazed; I looked closely and I couldn’t believe my eyes! The object itself is so peculiar, modern and alien-like it could be in any design exhibition. With my best friend’s birthday coming up, I decided to make it myself and give it to her as a gift. Disclaimer: There have been some concerns about the safety of this construction (see the comment of user “when” below for example).

I only needed a couple of things: 200-250 large plastic cups (recyclable, at least )600-700 staplesa staplera lamp socket, lamp cord and plug – mine came from a broken IKEA lamp!
