DIY Trim Wrap Bracelet
I was at JoAnn’s yesterday – buying more cardboard letters! – and, as usual, found myself roaming the trim section. It’s amazing all the ribbon, lace and patterns they have. Yes, I even bought some fur even though I have no idea how to use it. You can find the instructions on how to make… Continue Reading →

February flew by in a flash, didn’t it? Despite my love of Valentine’s Day, this is usually my least favorite month – it’s just too cold and dreary. So yay for March!

How to Make a Bracelet with Leftover Pieces of Chain
Every couple of weeks I make a trip to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and completely loose track of time. Usually because I’m standing in the jewelry aisle staring at the overwhelming array of options, trying to figure out the “right” thing to get. This has resulted in many a random purchase, and I’ve amassed a… Continue Reading →

I feel the need to say that this is my LAST Valentine’s Day related craft. It’s been a little hearts gone wild over here, I know. Valentine’s is just such a fun holiday! But I’m done now. I promise. I think. But this is one of my favorites. Did you know they sell brads in… Continue Reading →

diy jewelry | Recycled Shirt Bracelet
Guys, I have a problem. I am addicted to striped shirts. They are literally taking over my closet. Ok, stripes and pink. Apparently I dress like a 12-year-old. But since starting my wardrobe from scratch, I got rid of everything in my closet that 1) I haven’t worn in ages or 2) I wouldn’t wear… Continue Reading →

Have you heard of a push present? It’s a lovely tradition of giving a new mom a present to celebrate the birth of a child. (Sometimes the ladies have to educate their hubbies on this one, so you might want to drop a few hints). Mark has done a great job of finding sweet and… Continue Reading →

DIY Braided T-Shirt Bracelets
Here’s the DIY I promised last night when I got distracted with Henry’s fun laugh. I spotted these pretty Roarke NYC braided bracelets in Elle magazine and loved their bright, feminine colors.

DIY Colorblock Bangle
Color blocking is one of my favorite trends and I’ve resigned myself to enjoying it via accessories these days.

Yes, I know, I have to stop making bracelets. It’s an addiction. Is there a support group for this?

Step 1: Get thee to Goodwill and buy… Continue Reading →

Browsing the Calypso St. Barth line at Target the other day, I saw this lovely woven bracelet. I mentioned my obsession with them here, and this looked WAY too easy to spend $20 bucks on. (It says $15 online but I swear it was more at my Target.) Quick aside – I didn’t end up… Continue Reading →
DIY $220 Wrap Bracelet for $5
Embellished wrap bracelets are everywhere, and I am kind of obsessed with these colorful Chan Luu ones right now. But $220? Yikes! I think we can make our own for a wee bit less. Less than $5 in fact! You’ll need: 3 yards of silk ribbon cord. I got mine (purple, of course) at JoAnn’s… Continue Reading →
DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet
Would you rather spend $185 for this version? Or $5 for this DIY version? Thought so. I picked up the parts for both bracelets at the local hardware store for $10.
