Tutorial. Here's a little side project that I whipped up yesterday while I snowed in! A tiny terranium that can fit in the palm of my hand. The glass portion is actually an upside down candle holder. A great, inexpensive alternative to most glass containers (especially those specifically made for terraniums). I cut out a green felt circle that was about the same diameter and circumference as the glass holder's opening. I hot glued reindeer moss, along with a tiny fake tree, a handmade wooden button (purchased from a flea/craft market), a red resin rose and a bone skull bead. I simply placed the felt on top of a birch wood coaster, and added the glass holder on top. Some ideas I have are feathers or real branches with paper/resin flowers. Xo, Kirsten. Crop Top DIY // From Kara. Hi guys! My name is Kara Haupt and I blog at I Just Might Explode. I'm excited to share a super simple DIY for one of my favorite summer trends, crop tops!
I love the over-sized, boxy shirts showing up in stores, but was wary about investing in more styles since they're pretty trendy. I picked up this shirt at Goodwill for $4 and decided to make my own! For this DIY, you will need:An unused and/or thrifted shirtA crop top to trace (Mine is from H&M)ScissorsPinsCute trimFunky thread (I used some metallic thread I picked up a thriftstore!) First, slip the top you're altering onto a hanger and then slide the crop top over it. Be sure to match seams of both shirts to each other so the shirts will fall similarly. Then next, use fabric scissors to cut along the edge of the crop top. Once you've cut all around your top, grab some pretty, vintage trim, fold it in half and stitch around the bottom.
Pair your new top with some patterned shorts and you have yourself a cute, trendy summer look! Pattern Runway: Pussy Bow Blouse Pattern, DIY White Lace Cami Top Tutorial. One Pearl Button: Tutorial: Silk Shirt Refashion.
