How to Make an Origami Star Flower. How to Make Origami Bow (W/ a Few Cuts) DIY Woven Chain Collar Necklace. Earlier this month Lauren and I escaped city life with our dear friend Grace, of Stripes & Sequins, for a weekend chock-full of sun and DIY.
With an abundant supply of rhinestone and brass curb chain, we decided to try weaving the components together to make our own collar necklaces. It was fun to see how wonderfully different the pieces turned out - each so fabulous in their own unique way! Honestly, isn’t that the best part about DIYing with friends? You’ll need: Start by laying two pieces of curb chain side by side. Thread the floss under the first link on the left side and through the top of the 2nd link on the right side. Continue this weaving pattern. Tie a knot at the end. Using a different color flow, weave the floss around the first few links – again leaving about a foot of extra slack.
Washer Necklaces. I've seen several different tutorials for washer necklaces.
Good examples can be found here and here. I've been wanting to try it for a while now. So, when the hub snuck a craft store gift card in my stocking, I knew exactly how I'd use it. grabbed some washers, a file, cord, Glossy Accents and some scrapbook paper from the store and got out my handy x-acto knife. After placing the washer on the scrapbook paper, carefully cut around both circles with the x-acto knife. Then, apply Glossy Accents (or a similar product). Neat DIY gift and craft ideas.

On my birthday last month, my grandma gave me a set of those thin metal bracelets (see picture below).
I have to admit that I never really liked these bracelets because they're too thin to be worn alone (and with a set of ten you could as well give the other nine away) and they tend to be quite noisy when worn in a bunch. So I took two of the bracelets and used them to make something I liked much better: A super simple bracelet using tube beads. Enjoy! [1] For this bracelet you'll need: Nylon beading cord, 0.01 inch in diameter (should fit at least 4 times through the beads you use). A bunch of 0.8 inch tube beads (also found as bugle beads) in the colors you prefer. Bird nest necklace} I have been seeing a lot of bird nest jewelry around lately.
