DIY Floral Sunglasses We always claim to see the world through rose colored glasses . . . but how about rose trimmed glasses? In honor of the widespread floral trend and our love of Dolce & Gabbana‘s Baroque-inspired fall collection, we’re DIYing a pair of outrageously fabulous sunglasses using the same charming little ceramic roses from a recent tutorial. These will surely be a pair of shades you won’t go unnoticed in this summer! You’ll need:a pair of sunglassesa variety of ceramic roses and flowersdisposable container or popsicle sticka handful of toothpicksE6000 Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. Press the flower firmly onto the outer corner of the sunglasses. Add a few small flowers down the right side of the glasses. Repeat on the other side and allow to dry for a couple of hours. Your floral shades are ready to wear! (top image via Vogue.uk, rest of images by HonestlyWTF)
DIY Tassel Charm Bracelet Make no mistake, there are loads of tassel jewelry tutorials out there, like this bracelet or this one. (Seriously, just google "DIY tassel bracelet.") While I risk over-saturating the DIY tassel jewelry market, I'm going to throw my hat into the ring with this project. It's not as tasseled out as my DIY tassel necklace a few weeks back, I love how dainty these little tassels are. Tools and Materials: Embroidery thread Chain (long enough to reach around your wrist)Fold over crimp endsJump ringsClaspEarring wires (if making earrings) Pliers and scissors (not pictured) Wrap thread around your fingers several times to make a bundle. Place one end of the bundle in the fold-over crimp end. Trim the bundle and even out the ends. Attach the fold-over ends onto a jump ring and add to one end of the chain. You can also string the tassels and jump ring onto a necklace or attach to ear wires to make earrings.
DIY Roman Shades « It always feels great when you have your mind set on how you want something to look and then it all comes together. This is exactly what has happened with my entry way/porch area. I knew I wanted to put stripes on the wall but it was a matter of finally getting around to it. Once that was done and the porch was all cleared out I knew I had to make it something that was worth having.

Ink Effects is a fabric transfer ink that allows you to paint an image on ordinary printer paper and then iron it on to a textile. Rather than sitting on top of the fabric like a stiff iron-on transfer, the Ink Effects ink settles in smoothly to the fabric with little distortion of the feel of the fabric. Ink Effects colors blend nicely together, and when I saw my collection of colors, I instantly knew what I wanted to try my hand at. I needed a project for my inner space geek, and Ink Effects was the perfect way to pull it off. Materials:From your September Whimseybox: - Ink Effects Fabric Transfer Ink (colors can vary, based on what kind of nebula you want to make. Other Materials: - Printer/Copier paper - Spongebrush - Toothpicks - Old Toothbrush - White acrylic paint Next, prepare a surface for painting. For this particular style of nebula, I started with a pink center.

It's doable... Crafts, food and life - Blog - It's doable...the flower wall art What started it all... This was inspired by another Pinterest viewer, of which I've tried desperately to track down, I'm in the works though!-- The search comes to an end!! This is quite an easy project and it cost me a total of $13! -1 12x16 inch canvas $5.99 (with 40% off coupon, originally $9.99) -1 Artist's Loft 4 oz acrylic grey paint $3.99 (I used the excess on this project) -5 pieces of scrap book paper $3 total I had the following: -Mini hot glue gun and glue sticks (Michael's has these for about $3) -Foam paint brushes (Michael's has these for about $1.50) -Mod Podge (Please read reader comments before using) 1) Paint your canvas. 2) While your first coat is drying, cut a 2 inch wide strip off the bottom of each of your scrap book papers. 3) Then cut that strip into 2-3 inch rectangles. 4) Starting at one corner of the square make a curved cut to the opposite corner. 5) And back again. 6) Ta-da you have a leaf now! 8) Let your canvas dry completely (I watched a movie). That's it!
Packing Tape Image Transfers I love image transfers. It’s something I’m always using in my journals but there are so many other fun uses for them. All you need to make a transfer is a photocopy of an image or words and packing tape. You can also use printouts from a laser printer or magazine pages. Inkjets will not work because they are not heat based toner. So take some photos to the copy machine or tear some pages out of your favorite magazine to get started. First, take a strip of packing tape and place it over the images you want to transfer: Then use the back of your scissors or the side of your fingernail to make sure the tape is adhered firmly: Next, dip the tape and paper into a bowl of water to wet the back: Using your fingers, start to rub off the paper from the back of the tape: Like magic….your image is left behind on the tape! I like to use the transfers to wrap special letters before I mail them. It’s like having custom tape: Another idea is to take a small canvas and use the images for artwork: P.S.
