Www.courtandhudson.com/2012/02/diy-matthew-williamson-pom-pom-clutch.html. When I first came across Matthew Williamson‘s gorgeous clutches from his Spring Summer collection I was giddy. I love anything with color, texture and a little sparkle. Naturally those feeling subsided when I saw the nearly $1.5k price tag. So I took things into my own hands to create my MW inspired clutch for a LOT less. So here’s how you can re-create the bag on your own! *Note: While I LOVE the above clutch as is – I have two of the same one!
Hence why it was chosen as the guinea pig! Above lists the supplies you will need to tackle this pretty project. When selecting a clutch, it’s best to go with one that is slightly structured or lays flat. See, that wasn’t so hard now was it?

Necklaces. Earrings. Rings. Hair,hats. Pulseras. Make Photo Necklaces, Earrings, Magnets and More Using Shrinkable Plastic. Seems like everything keeps getting smaller these days: computers, dogs, headphones… And now even photographs are joining in the smallness, thanks to the magic of biaxially oriented thermoplastic polystyrene (that’s Shrinky Dinks to you). You can print photos on plastic using your inkjet printer, and shrink them down small enough to make into necklaces, fridge magnets, earrings, or practically anything you can think of.
See?

DIY Gold Leaf Faux Jewelry. Inspired by a shoot styled by Mandy of Oracle Fox where gold leaf was applied in the form of makeup and jewelry, I immediately had to try it myself. It’s an instantaneous and temporary solution for a lack of bling. Plus, it looks super fly! This technique may even come in handy this Halloween season when you decide you’ll want to dress up as a Fendi-bot . . . or C-3P0.
You’ll need: Start by cutting the sheet of gold leaf into half inch strips. The gold leaf will not adhere to anything without an adhesive agent so an application of spirit gum is necessary. Pick up a strip of gold leaf and press the gold side onto the tacky area with pressure. Remove the tape and use your fingers to smooth out any loose flakes. Voila!

I’ve been wanting to share it with you for about a year now, but it’s taken me so long to sit down & figure out the best way to explain myself. See, I discovered how to do this while mindlessly watching an episode of House. My mother-in-law has a rad purse from the ’70s or so; it’s leather with a very cool handle. Parts of the handle are braided & parts are smooth. I’ll be sharing this today on KSL’s Studio 5!
(of course the pattern pieces above aren’t the same, I was just too lazy to take a supplies pic that was practically the same as this one. hope you’ll forgive me.) hammerscissorshole punchtapebutton-stud/snap & setter1-2 oz leather/felt Print and cut out pattern pieces. Tape your leather to a sturdy surface, like a desk or slab of wood. Ignoring the bottom part as you go, count up to 6. Look at the bottom part, the strand that’s on top should go through the hole. Once you’ve followed through that end, your ends should look like this. Better than Tiffanys. Have some spare time? Feeling crafty? Check out this old school way to make ring I just HAD to try! Here is a simple ring that is MADE from money. So how bout changing this: Yep, I did it! Well, actually not quite. I couldn’t find a quarter, so instead I used a 10 pence coin.
I saw rings like this on etsy, and thought “how did they do that!” Ready? Find a quarter, or similar looking foreign coin (I used a 10 pence because I couldnt find a good quarter). Got your quarter? Grab a hammer. Back in the day, I’ve heard they used to use spoons for this part, and tapped instead of hammered…but I cannot even IMAGINE how long that would take. Anyway, you want to hammer the edges. Just keep hammering, and spinning it in a circle. Yes your hands will get black.
Next, you will want a drill. Anyway, keep moving up sizes of drill bits until you get too close to the edge. If you have a dremel, or a sander type bit for your drill…USE IT. Now file it down until you’ve got the ring size you are looking for! What I Wore - A Personal Style Blog. Diy 来自mrdilllll在堆糖网的分享.
