Today’s project was something that I have been wanting to try all month. This string light fixture took me a couple days to actually complete, with drying time, but it was well worth it. I used a tutorial from Pickles. Like most of the tutorials I found online, it used a basic cotton yarn, but…

Today’s project is brought to you, by melamine plates (you know, those inexpensive hard plastic ones), an old candlestick and the help of Mr. Dave Kunkel. To see the tutorial I used, visit Giver’s Log.

Today’s project is a pair of beaded earrings. I made these using some cloisinee beads I had left over from another project.

I found a great place online that allows you to print your own custom fabric. You can check it out for yourself at www.spoonflower.com but… if $18-$32/yard isn’t in your budget, you can make your own. Now, I have only tried this for small sizes, no larger than 8×10.5inches.

Today’s project is really easy. You will need a pair of clip style earring blanks and whatever you want to decorate your shoes with. I used some chinese coin beads and dusty rose dahalia flowers. What is great about these is that I can snap them on and off of any pair of shoes.

Today’s project is another fabric flower. Today I’m making single petal roses. I’ve been meaning to learn this technique for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it. I’m glad I did, because it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, and turned out very well. Notice the green one I…

Today’s project is a major upcycle. For it you will need 2 paperclips, the string or yarn of your choice, and a set of earring hooks. The first step is to unbend your paperclips and reshape them into the design of your choice. I made a simple triangle. Then wrap the edges in string, followed…
