Recently, I've been looking for a modest high-low skirt everywhere and finally refashioned an old dress to make one. I hope you enjoy the tutorial and feel free to stop on by and say hello!

DIY Drippy Nails We were immediately inspired the moment we saw bare nails with blood-like, drippy polish accompany Prabal Gurung‘s spring collection at New York Fashion Week. Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and thus, the timing couldn’t have been better to recreate this deliciously daring DIY for our phalanges. Though a more vampy, burgundy color went down the runway, I went for more vibrant red . . . but the best part about this tutorial is that you can make it your own with just about any color, for any season!

I make “Socially Conscious, Totally Fabulous” my mantra, and I’ve got my green routine down to a science. Mostly. My kitchen and home are practically plastic-free. I buy my beans, grains, sugars, flours, oils, vinegars, syrups, and anything else I can, in bulk to save on packaging. I’ve eliminated toxic cleaners and I make my own beauty products.
Upcycled Dear Deer :) Make your own deer patch while upcycling old fabrics and plastic bags. Here is an idea for making cute patches that you don’t even need to sew – just use a plastic bag as a media that sticks fabrics together. Cut out a patch with shape you wish, and make exact copy of it from the plastic bag. Pin all parts to the cloth, which you want to upgrade, in a way that plastic is between the fabrics, and after do hot ironing – inside plastic melts and makes patch stick to the cloth. Voilà! Special raincoat and swimming thru Blogger... OK, it has been a long time since I first started this blog. I have been refashioning quite a few things but have not had much time to figure out how to post stuff. So here goes...
Outside planting and fabric elephants It's been a busy few days in the Kayaboo household. I found a free pattern for a toy elephant on the Burda website. As with many things, you get what you pay for so it took quite alot of tweaking and it's fair share of unpicking and restitching before I ended up with a slightly squiffy but really cute elephant. Made out of an old pair of pajama bottoms and an old pillow, it's up-cycling at it's best. On the gardening front, I've been really excited about growing things. It's not something I've really done before so the speed that things are shooting up has taken me by surprise.
Softest, Silkiest Legs I know I normally post recipes and helpful gluten free living tips on my blog, but today, I discovered the trick to getting the softest and silkiest legs. It all started yesterday when Clint and I were out shopping. We weren't shopping for anything specific but recently I have been "shopping" for some sugar body scrub. window films this month’s material is a simple one…paint! obviously paint comes in many forms, and one of my favorite craft tools is the paint pen. they have come a long way over the years, and the newest paint pens provide a really clean, fluid line of paint and are great for drawing with. in our home we needed some window films to provide privacy, but we also wanted them to let light through. using contact paper and a white paint pen, i’ve created some decorative window films that are easy to change, replace, move, etc. if you don’t feel super comfortable with your drawing skills, you can easily print out images or text and trace them onto the contact paper. happy crafting! -kate
