DIY copper triangle necklace
As I get older my aesthetic moves more toward clean lines and simple shapes. The mountain of gear that comes with having three kids has managed to turn me a minimalist. With paper and toy cars and stuffed animals all around, I want less stuff, less clutter. Maybe that’s why when I thought about adding… Continue Reading →
DIY Glitter Collar
Whew! I can’t believe Christmas is over. It’s crazy how fast it flies by. And yesterday it snowed (well, flurries) so it was *almost* a white Christmas. Now we get to shift gears and start thinking about New Year’s. Do you have big plans? With three kids 5 and under making it to 12 o’clock… Continue Reading →
DIY Felt Garland Necklace
Bloggers are a funny group. We all seem to be addicted to a few of the same things – wearing striped shirts, stealing paint chips, wasting time on Pinterest and celebrating every holiday with a garland. I’ve seen so many amazing garlands (bonus point for making it out of paint chips!) but never really had… Continue Reading →
DIY Clay Gumball Necklace
I made this necklace as a knock off of a necklace selling for about $50 a pop. Sadly, I’m currently experience a bad case of mommy brain and can’t remember where I found them online. But know that somewhere out there someone rolled a couple of dollars worth of clay and decided to sell it… Continue Reading →
DIY Clay Chain Necklace
Don’t you love that feeling when you come upon a really expensive necklace that you can easily make yourself? Lots of times I see cool necklaces that are way beyond my skills so when I find something simple, colorful & cute that I can recreate I do a little internal happy dance. Please tell me… Continue Reading →
DIY Suede Wrapped Chain Necklace
Hi everyone! I’m Erin from Thanks, I Made It. As a craft-aholic, I’m very excited to share a DIY project with you today. I wanted to go with something that was simple, required just a few materials, and (my favorite part) could easily be done while relaxing and watching a movie or TV. Doubling up… Continue Reading →
DIY Statement Beaded Necklace
Yes, I made another bead necklace! Just what the blog world needs, right? I was a crazy crafter the week of July 4 trying to get all of my projects finished before I lost them forever in the move. So I took all of my leftover beads from this necklace and this one and made… Continue Reading →
Pink Stone DIY Necklace
I’m having a thing lately with pink necklaces (like the one I wore yesterday), and I recently snapped a photo of this pink stone necklace at a local jewelry shop. The shades of pink are so gorgeous – but the $100 price tag was more than I could justify. Then I happened to be at… Continue Reading →
DIY Nautical Painted Rope Necklace
I recently fell in love with jewelry designer Jaclyn Mayer – she uses lots of rope, cord, paint, and metals that definitely inspire a trip to Home Depot. When I saw the playful rope necklaces in this spring/summer collection I wanted to make one. It’s tough to achieve the enamel wax coating (it requires a… Continue Reading →
DIY Kate Spade Bead Necklace
Remember my wooden bead necklace from last week? Well, guess what, I made another one! I stumbled on this $128 Kate Spade necklace that was dying to being DIY’d. I laugh that most of my DIYs are perfect for preschoolers. That is my idea of a perfect craft. This necklace, however, requires a bit more… Continue Reading →
DIY Painted Wooden Bead Necklace
When I saw Joy in this super cute necklace on Oh Joy! from The House of Kami I knew I wanted to create a DIY version. The bright colors are so pretty for spring. Then I went nuts and couldn’t stop painting beads. You will need: Wooden beads in several sizes. Acrylic paint in a… Continue Reading →
DIY Woven Chain Necklace
On a hunt for coral jewelry I found this bracelet and LOVED it. First thought: gotta pin it. Second thought: I can make that! Which is good because the original cost $395 and is out of stock (people paid that?). I picked up a chain necklace from Goodwill a few weeks ago for $2 and… Continue Reading →
DIY Turquoise Clay Necklace
I could no longer resist the lure of the polymer clay. Am I the last blogger to use this stuff? Probably. That’s pretty much my M.O. But I saw this necklace (via Live and Enliven) and instantly loved it … but wanted it in turquoise. It reminded me of some recent projects I’ve seen (like… Continue Reading →
