DIY Watercolor Bangle

Posted by Honor on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, In : Accessories

I knew there was something I could do with all those left over tape rolls!

Do you do that? Hoard left overs until you can figure out a way to reuse them? I swear about 90% of my office closet is full of those so called 'craft supplies'. Think bags of wine corks, toilet and paper towel tubes, wrapping paper scraps... pretty much everything you would call trash. But I can't do it! I guess it is the hoarder coming out in me. You know we all have a little of that. Hoardism. Hoardalitis. Hoardlue...

DIY Faux Metal Lace Cuff

Posted by Honor on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, In : Accessories

Lately I am loving the metal lace cuff bracelets that are showing up here and there. One such designer of these cuffs is Aurelie Bidermann. Her wares sell @ Bloomingdales, Barneys and Net-a-porter. All way way wayyyyy out of my price range.

ouch! this bad boy sells for over $1,800.... well... it is dipped in 18 karat gold.

Here is my version. Pretty good for 5 doll ...

DIY No Beading Indian Beaded Bracelet

so lately I have really been feeling the Indian beaded bracelet look. Perfect for summer. Free spirited. Just plain cool and they really never go out of style. A classic.

(via The Turquoise Mine)

What is not so cool is how time consuming they seem to be. Granted I have never tried to make one, they just seem to be time consuming.

Plus I don't have any of the supplies required to make them.

So here is what I believe to be a clever way to make a faux Indian beaded bracelet.

I picked up a pack ...

How to Make a Pearl Embellished Bangle Bracelet

This DIY is more of an idea than a tutorial. Just a reminder that you probably already have great accessories laying about the house, you just need to be a bit creative with your household materials. I regularly raid my jewelry stash and tear up all the Forever 21/Clarie's ect jewelry. None of it is very expensive and it usually doesn't hold up to wear and tear very well, so I get rid of the cheap parts and keep the interesting better made compo...

How to make Pom Pom Jewelry

Dearest Pom Pom....Oh pom pom how I love thee. You add whimsy and quirkiness to scarves, children's clothing, draperies and now jewelry. You are so fun and fascinating, I always want to play with you. Oh pom pom you make my day of crafting the best!

Flat Woven Braid: How to 5 Strand Braid

Friendship bracelets... remember those? I was driving by an elementary school the other day when all the kids were let out. It seemed like all the girls were up to their elbows in silly bands and friendship bracelets. While I am not a fan of the silly bands craze, I have always had a soft spot for friendship bracelets with the letter beads. Clearly I have out grown those kind of accessories, Boo! Sooooo I decided to learn a new craft and update the fa...
