How to make a dreamcatcher
For the native americans, the dream catcher is a handmade object based on a willow hoop, on which is woven a loose net or web.

DIY BALENCIAGA INSPIRED CROP TOP
30th July 2013 You may have guessed that the Balenciaga SS13 collection was by far the most inspiring for me this season when it comes to potential DIY projects (remember this?). It’s so funny, as soon as I saw this crop top on the runway more than 6 months ago I knew it was going to be a project I would try, but it took me so long to work out how I would do it and to make the time.
