Feather Tee // DIY Inspiration Stamping fabric is nothing new, but that doesn't mean the technique should be thrown on the back burner. This project is less about stamping fabric, and more about revamping a plain long sleeve tee and making an easy, affordable, customized stamp. In total, my stamp only cost $.47! Some days you want to throw on a tee, a good pair of jeans, and comfy boots. Supplies: Foam sheet, fabric paint, plain tee. Pantry Supplies: Scissors, pen, test paper, hot glue gun. Begin by drawing a feather on the foam sheet. I finished off this look with a pretty necklace and my favorite jeans.

DIY guide - draped skirt mandag, 19 september 2011 Her får I den længe ventede DIY guide til at binde en draperet nederdel, som jeg første gang viste i et indlæg fra Kreta. Jeg har brugt et gammelt tørklæde fra H&M, men har I ikke et tørklæde i den stil, kan man købe et langt stykke jersey stof i en stofbutik meget billigt. Mit tørklæde er 2,5 meter langt og 1,5 meter bredt og så har jeg foldet det på midten, så det kun er 75 cm bredt. Hvis I køber et stykke stof der er lidt tykkere, behøver I ikke folde det på midten, bare det ikke er gennemsigtig, of course :) Jeg håber at I kan lide guiden og at den er til at forstå, ellers spørger I bare. Here is a DIY guide on how to tie a draped skirt.
DIY: How to Make a We Are Owls Inspired Poem Script Scarf Earlier this year, I had my eye on a scarf from We Are Owls . It was cashmere, hand-painted, and gorgeous. But also more than I was willing to shell out for a scarf. But it was still swoon-worthy. source: we are owls Because I’m trapped in way-hotter-than-I-would-like weather in steamy Washington DC, I wanted to focus on cooler times: nights when the slight chill in the air calls for a scarf messily thrown around your neck, but still allows you to look polished. I told you it was simple, right? I chose some phrases out of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 47 . A Few Tips Make sure you lay something underneath the scarf/pashmina. If you try this, please do send me a link to your final version! [Love handmade products?
