Wardrobe Recycle: Studded Chain Bracelet Τελικά εμείς τα studs πως τα λέμε; Τα λέμε τρούκς (ωραία ελληνική λέξη); Μιας και δεν έχω καταφέρει ακόμα να το ξεκαθαρίσω το ζήτημα θα συνεχίσω να τα λέω studs και πιστεύω ότι όλοι καταλαβαίνετε τι εννοώ! Αυτό λοιπόν το βραχιολάκι με τα studs και την αλυσίδα το έφτιαξα εχθές το βράδυ σε μια στιγμή έμπνευσης και βαρεμάρας ταυτόχρονα. Θα σας εξηγήσω πόσο εύκολα μπορείτε να φτιάξετε κι εσείς ένα ευθύς αμέσως. Θα χρειαστείτε: μία αλυσίδα μεσαίου περίπου πάχους, ένα κρικάκι, ένα κούμπωμα και μερικά studs φυσικά. Πριν φύγετε για τα μαγαζιά ρίξτε μια ματιά στα παλιά σας κοσμήματα μήπως μπορείτε να επαναχρησιμοποιήσετε κάτι που ήδη έχετε;) Αρχίστε λοιπόν αφήνοντας κανα δυο κρικάκια της αλυσίδας ελεύθερα και περνώντας τις ακριανές μύτες από ένα stud στα δύο επόμενα που χωράνε. Κλείστε τα δοντάκια πατώντας πάνω από το κρικάκι της αλυσίδας ώστε να σταθεροποιηθεί εκεί το stud. Βάλτε τέλος το κρικάκι και το κούμπωμα και το βραχιολάκι σας είναι έτοιμο. Για την τσαντούλα θα τα πούμε κάποια άλλη στιγμή...
knotted jersey headband tutorial hey there LOVE STITCHED PEEPS!! it’s LESLIE from LITTLE MOOKIE back again with another fun tutorial, and while i’m a sewing contributor here, sometimes the best sewing tutes are the ones that involve ZERO SEWING! am i right? (tell me i’m right, mkay?) i’ve always wanted to learn how to tie celtic-ish style knots and this one was super cute so i started searching around for a tutorial and found this one. she used long crochet chains but i don’t crochet. so i figured, why not UPCYCLE something? one of my best friends lost 55lbs last year and she gave me all of her clothes (yay for free fabric, eh?!) what you’ll need:old tshirts – any color, combo (could also use fabric, rope, yarn, etc.)cutting mat & rotary cutter (plain ‘ol scissors would work just fine too)glue gun & gluemusic (i always work better when i can sing while i work) :) start by cutting your shirt just under the arms(you could also start at the bottom – cutting off the band and starting there) ready to go! FINITO!!
Six in the Nest If you haven't heard of Diamond Candles, you want to. Diamond Candles are so much fun! These candles are at the top of my holiday want list! So, what is a Diamond Candle? It's an amazing smelling, large, soy candle that has a surprise in it. In fact, that surprise could very well be.... a diamond!! Each Diamond Candle has a ring inside. Diamond Candles was founded in January of 2011. See that shiny gold thing in the candle? I was sooo excited to find out what my ring looked like... The candle smelled great, even before I lit it...but once I did the scent wafted through my home, Lavender Lemon smells great! As you can see, the wick was a little off center.. and it happened to be off center more on the side that the ring wasn't. Now, these candles take a LONG time to burn. So, I waited..... and waited....... and waited some more. There it is! In that foil was a small plastic bag... and, as you can see, in that bag is my ring!! Whooo hoooo! This part was the best... sooo much fun!
Hair Clip Fascinator Tutorial I am kind of addicted to making these, you can make so many variations! I keep looking in my fabric stash and thinking “Oh, I could make something with this!”. I tell you, it is no good for my OCD of throw no fabric piece away, for you may just need it one day issue. If anything it’s made it worse, because I can use little bits and pieces to whip one of these hair fascinators up; so now I am keeping even the littlest of scraps. Anyhoo, a lot of you asked for the tutorial for making them, and it just gave me a reason to make some more. Supplies: needle and threadfabric glue, or hot glue and gunsnap clipfeltscissorsfray check (optional) Fabric and Notions: fabric circle measuring 4-5 inches acrossfabric piece measuring around 2 x 5 inches3 inch piece of eyelet ribbon, lace, wide ribbon, crochet ribbon – whatever suits you small rosette made from coordinating fabric – I used a 1 x 22 inch piece for my rosette. Now we’ll make a fabric yo- yo. Next, glue the rosette onto the yo-yo. Questions?
flax & twine: Day 1: A Strand of Pearls - a diy ribbon and pearl necklace Yippee–here it is–Day number 1. I think this necklace actually was the first thing that I made in my jewelry-making frenzy to fill Allie’s Advent Calendar. I love the blue next to the pearls and love the lines the undulating ribbon and smooth pearls make together. This ribbon strand ties in a bow in the back to whatever length your little girl desires. The overall length on this one is 28″, but with the bow, she can shorten it to whatever length she likes. The necklace is super easy to make. I thought I couldn’t get better than the blue until I made the sample for the easy diy tutorial below – I just ADORE the green. Materials: -1/4″ ribbon -faux pearl beads -needle -embroidery floss/thread Time: Approximately 30 minutes Cut your ribbon to desired length, adding enough length to flow in and out between the pearls. Pierce the ribbon in the middle of its width approximately 9″ along your piece of ribbon. Bend the ribbon around the pearl to judge where you should put the needle next. Finis.
Re-purposing: Tshirts into 5-strand-braided-headbands I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven. I decided they were charging way too much for something that could be made with t-shirt scraps. And that means free. So there you have it. (Or you may need one for working out. I kinda love it on my little girl . She always has little hair fly-aways that get into her face…….and this helps with that problem. It even works great with her hair down…..and keeps that hair tucked behind her ears. And yep, good for me too. Thanks little t-shirt scraps. Want to make your own? First, find some old t-shirts. Then, cut your fabric into long strips. Next, stack your 5 strips on top of each other and sew together at one end. Now, pull on each strip of fabric so that they kind of curl on the edges. Now, to create this 5 strand braid……..you’ll kind of be braiding on the left side and then braiding on the right. But let me explain a little better. And that’s it.

DIY — bracelet made from braided beads | Simply Allis I came across this tutorial from ECAB that demonstrates how to make a braided bead necklace and I knew instantly that was going to be my next project. I have modified the instructions a bit to make a braided bead bracelet. I will show you pictures from my bracelet making process and give brief instructions. Please click the link above to go on over to ECAB for the full tutorial. It is wonderful. These are my supplies. First I strung about 4″ of beads on to my thread. Next I chose to go ahead and cut 2 pieces of chain a little longer than I though I would actually need and attached a jumpring. Make sure all your bead tips are closed around the knot. A closer look. Next, braid the beads. Secure the bead tips at the end of the braid to the other jumpring and chain from earlier. Cut the chain to size then attach a clasp and you are all done! Now go find a new outfit to go with your awesome bracelet. to Pinterest Like this: Like Loading...

Rose and Feather Hair Clip Tutorial I love this hair pin, so sweet. Fit for tea time, no? Or maybe stopping to smell the flowers… or the blue spruces…whatever suits your fancy. One things for sure, it will surely upgrade any ponytail. You have no doubt seen these everywhere, they are so easy to make. Supplies: fabric at least 25 inches long and 1½ inches wide for one flowerfeathershair clip,hot glue gun The bigger flowers I made were made with 32″ x 1½” pieces of silk, but for the smaller flower that my little one is using I used a 24 inch long piece. Start by folding the strip of fabric in half. Now run a thin strip of glue around one side. Working fast, twist the strip and pull around the hot glue. Now we have a rose. From a piece of scrap fabric cut a circle just smaller than the flower then drizzle hot glue on the back… And press the piece on. Depending on what hair clip you decide to use, you may need to add a little fabric. Using hot glue, open the clip and glue the fabric to the inside… It should look like this. And so cute!
T-Shirt Refashion: Jersey Necklace Sometimes I feel like I ride on the coattails of creative people. Back in January as I was surfing my favorite blogs, I came across this post on Ultra Vroom about cardigans and fabric necklaces. I instantly fell in love and had to have a fabric necklace for my very own. I week or so later I remembered the large stash of white jersey hanging around the basement and hap-hazardly made my own version of Annie‘s fabric necklace. If I remember correctly, I wore that necklace for 4 days in a row. I didn’t really take it off until Penelope bumped her mouth on the table and bled all over me (Penelope is ok, BTW). I love my necklace so much, I’ve been wanting to share it with you for sometime, but haven’t worked on the tutorial until just now. Materials: 1 XXL or XXXL men’s t-shirtScissors and/or rotary cutterSewing machine and or needle & thread Cut off the bottom hem of the shirt. Cut open one end of each strip. Sew coiled ends together. Voila! P.S.
