Don't you guys love Pinterest? DIY Screen Printing How-to | ThreadBanger - D.I.Y Fashion & Style. Tutorial: Homemade Sidewalk Chalk | oh my! handmade goodness - StumbleUpon. By Michelle Vackar, Modern Handmade Child One of our favorite outside activities at our home is drawing with chalk on the driveway. You can play hopscotch, four-square, and of course draw and create silly stories. My daughters and I were talking one day as we played hopscotch about how to make chalk and I thought to myself, let’s try it! It ended up being quite a lot of fun. What you will need: • Toilet paper or paper towel tubes • Scissors • Duct tape • Wax paper • Small bucket or disposable container to make the recipe • ¾ cup of warm water • 1 ½ cups Plaster of Paris • 2-3 tablespoons of tempera paint • Paper bag or a “mess mat” ** we made six tubes of chalk – we simply doubled the above recipe Step 1: If you are using paper towel tubes, cut each tube in half, so it is roughly the length of a toilet paper roll tube.
Step 2: Cover one end of each tube with duct table to hold the contents within. Step 3: Cut as many pieces of wax paper as you have tubes. DIY: How to Make a Glam Glitter Clutch.

This project is really easy — even non-crafters can glitterize with great results. For this DIY you need: Purse (I bought mine at a thrift store) Glitter Mod Podge Brush of some kind Spray paint (optional) Step 1: First you need to make sure that your clutch is gold, or whatever color your glitter is. Step 2: Next you need to mix the glitter in a little container with your Mod Podge. Step 3: After you have mixed the glitter, all you need to do is start painting your mixture onto your clutch. Step 4: Let everything dry overnight. And that's it! So channel your inner magpie and create something shiny!

"Take your favorite pair of denim cut-offs that are in need of a makeover before summer officially hits. Flip your shorts over and prepare to seam rip the back pocket off. Put some muscle into it! Lay your pocket facedown on the backside of some leather skin and trace its outline with chalk. Place your leather pocket where the denim once was and sew it in place. Cute! You can do one or both pockets, and it's also always cute to swap out a couple of belt loops as well using your leftover leather scraps. " Cardigan "This cardigan was a little too boxy and boyish for me so I added the frillier elements from the dress onto it. Dress "I was really into the peplum shape of this dress so I didn't want to do too much to it. Oxford "I trimmed the top and sleeves off, converting the sleeves into straps for this tank top.
Sweatshirt "I wanted to make this into something appropriate for summer so it got the crop-tank treatment. "Start with a plain white tee, and lay your favorite tank top on top of it. - StumbleUpon.

Phil Oh spotted this elegant Charlotte Olympia Pandora clutch during Paris Fashion Week and we spotted a DIY. Prada, Chanel & Fendi seem to be seeing clearly too because let’s face it, nothing says “I ain’t got shit to hide” like a transparent clutch. You’ll start by drilling a hole at the top of the plastic box. Use a drill bit that is one size larger than the diameter of the bolt on the knob, otherwise the plastic might crack. Open the lid and slowly drill a hole in the center of the box with very light pressure. Push the knob through the hole of the box and replace the washer and nut.
Voila! (top image by Phil Oh for Vogue.com, rest of images by Honestly…WTF) DIY Minaudière. I have an awful habit of losing sunglasses. Needless to say, I’ve accumulated an impressive collection of sunglass cases over the years. Recently we’ve discovered that these abandoned containers can easily by re-purposed into fabulous mini clutches! Inspired by those spotted during Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, we made a super simple minaudière with just a few tools and a fancy piece of hardware. Open the sunglass case and drill a hole in the top center. Easy. Perfect for all the essentials . . . minimalism at its best! (top image from style.com, rest of images by Honestly…WTF) DIY Market Bag. With Earth Day just around the corner, we’re turning to artist and environmentalist Chris Jordan for inspiration. In this large-zoom photograph he has captured 1.14 million brown paper supermarket bags, the number used in the US every hour.
And did you know that 2.7 billion plastic bags are used every day worldwide? Floored by these staggering numbers we were motivated to do a quick and easy DIY, recycling an old t-shirt into a reusable fringed market bag. We hope that it will also inspire you to use less plastic and paper! Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface. Snip 8 evenly spaced slits along the bottom hem of the t-shirt. Attach a safety pin to the end of one of the strings. You can trim the strings but we like leaving the fringe as is. Aren’t you excited to BYOB (bring your own bag)? Make one for a friend. (top image from here, rest of images by Honestly…WTF; thanks to Leethal & Lynn for the inspiration!) Just B: B Bright: DIY color block pouch. Everywhere you look Celine pouches are somewhere to be found, lusted or dreamed of.
I myself had a moment of weakness drooling over the leather pieces held together by thread and a zipper shown here. Also, where I found a least expensive alternative achieving the same look. When I saw a photo of a color block Celine pouch (pinned here) I knew that's what I wanted. One bright neon block on the bottom of my pouch. Step one: All you need is a leather pouch, acrylic paint in white and the color bright color of your choice, paint brush, painters tape, blow dryer & acrylic coating spray (shown later) and good tunes to listen to Step two: Mark off the area you want to paint with painters tape. Step three: Mix white acrylic paint with a bit of water for first layer to help it adhere to the leather. Step four: After the white dries, bring out the neon guns and do the same without water added. Let dry for 2 hours untouched and you're done! DIY No Knit Scarf. We love Rike Feurstein. Her hats are sick and her chunky knits are lusciously bold and amazing.
And when we saw her Dylan scarf, we thought it was genius. A scarf that didn’t require knitting? Sign me up! You’ll start by transforming a skein of yarn into a hank of yarn, which is yarn that is loosely wound into a large ring shape and then twisted. Cut 3 pieces of leather at approximately 1.75″ wide and 4″ long. Voila! (top image from here, rest of images by Honestly…WTF) 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. So what exactly do you need to create this effect? Making sense so far? Therefore, your heart-shaped hole must be slightly smaller than this diameter so that the camera captures the shape of the heart instead of the circle. Materials: Drunk off love yet? DIY Color Block Moccasins. Our love of Minnatonka moccasins and obsession with Balenciaga‘s Fall 2010 shoes made this DIY we created for Foam Magazine a no brainer. With just a tube of Tulip Soft Fabric Paint, a pair of paintbrushes (one thin and one thick) and a pair of suede moccasins, you’ll be ready to make your own color block shoes. (Tulip Soft Fabric Paint is best paint to use, as it is highly opaque, flexible once it dries and great for suede.)
To paint the tops of the moccasins, the fringe will have to be tucked under. Simply untie the bow, pull the suede strings out of all the holes (note how it is assembled), and fold the flap under. Start by making a test patch near one of the holes, as this part will be covered and it’s a great way to get comfortable with your brush and paint. Let dry for at least 2 hours and reassemble the fringe to reveal your new pair of SICK color block mocs!
