DIY Découpage Floral Bag - Honestly WTF. When H&M asked us to DIY a boho-inspired item for their summer issue, découpage was the first thing that came to mind. Honestly, does it get any better than customizing a simple handbag with a brilliant floral print? However you create it, it’ll be satisfying to know that you’ve designed yourself a one of a kind bag! You’ll need:a handbagcotton fabric with a large floral patternpainter’s tapeMod Podgecraft paint2 small plastic dishes2 brushesscissors Start by taping off the edges and hardware of the handbag. Squeeze a dollop of colored craft paint into a small disposable container. Apply a layer of paint to the desired section. Allow the first layer to dry completely. While the paint dries, carefully cut out a handful of flowers from the fabric. Arrange them onto the painted section of the bag.
Remove the painter’s tape when the Mod Podge has dried clear and your floral handbag is complete! (all images by HonestlyWTF) DIY Macrame Bracelet - Honestly WTF. Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . .
To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. Pearl Ribbon Necklace. Photos: Courtesy of Ashley Weeks Cart. DIY Round-up DIY lace clutch bag – Adore Blog by Chloe. The L-T Experience: Macrame Monday - How To - Macrame Sandals. Ooooh I'm so excited to show you this project. I made my own Macrame sandals! Eeeeee!!!! Check them out. Wha?!!! You can make macrame sandals?!!! You totally can! Here's how: Time Needed: About an hour Skill Needed: This project only uses one macrame knot (the square knot) - so knowledge of that is a must. I used this ball of nylon-esque yarn that I got from the thrift store. Step One: Take the original flip flops apart. Cut 5 long pieces of t-shirt yarn. String 4 pieces of the yarn through the middle "toe" hole making sure that the middle of the yarn is in line with the hole.
Step Two: Take the 4 pieces of yarn sticking out the bottom of the flip flop and string two of them through each of the two holes near the back of the flip flip. Then take the final piece of yarn and string it one end up from the bottom of one hole and the other end up from the bottom of the second hole. Step Three: Start knotting a chain of square knots using the four yarn pieces poking out of the top hole. Step Five: PATTERN Slouchy Newsboy Hat with Short Brim by GoodKnitKisses.

When you buy most of your wardrobe off the clearance rack and from thrift stores, odds are that most of the stuff is not going to be in your size. ie: GiNoRmous trousers and teeny tops. :) While I haven't figured out a way to make small things larger, I do have a system for making shirts smaller. Fair warning-- this is not rocket science and I'm not one for specific measurements when it comes to sewing up thrift store finds. This makes my detail-oriented, sewist/seamstress of a mother VERY uncomfortable... but that's just how I sew. ;) Step 1: Try on your extra large shirt and figure out just how extra large it really is on you. Holding the seam of the shirt together at your side, take a ruler and measure how much you want your shirt to be taken in.
Remember that number. Step 2: Take off the shirt and turn it inside out. Make sure all of the seams line up straight. Step 3: Sew it up! PS-- Sorry I don't have more tutorial photos. From extra-large to a good fit. :) And my chevron belt. Scarf Knot Master List | Scarves Dot Net.
