I've been browsing some sites like Refinery29 and just discovered the amazingness of chevron nails. This will be a must try for me... although, there may be a possibility that I might have problems painting my right hand!
just use tape to get the straight edge! also, because i think about this kind of stuff...i find it strange that you discovered "chevron" nails on a website called "refinery29"
Kina Grannis - In Your Arms I was strolling around a craft store and noticed they sold pieces of 8.5"x11" leather for decent prices. I've been wanting to make a clutch for a while and I felt like this was the perfect material to work with. So I bought brown and black leather pieces as well as some leather cement glue. I also drew a sketch of what I kind of wanted it to look like... but in reality, it was just an excuse to use watercolor pencils. Things you'll need: -2 pieces of leather (size depends on how big or small you want to make it) -leather cement glue -scissors -binder clips -ruler -pencil/marker -scotch tape -paintbrush -something heavy, like a textbook or two
YES! I finally was able to accomplish one of my projects on my To-Do List. I decided to take a break from job apps and stop by the craft store yesterday. I picked up some pieces of felt, which were on sale for 5 for $1! And I decided I would work on my DIY collar. This is what the finished product looks like and the many ways I decided to style my outfits with my new accessory: ( Note: You might think... really? You made a collage of yourself? I swear I am not vain and I really do not like taking this many pictures of myself but I thought it was a good way to show the versatility of the detachable collar!) For this project you will need the following: -A piece of felt -Fabric Glue -Some sort of embelishment (beads, sequins, buttons) -Scissors -Tape measurer -A wide paint brush -A needle and thread
Have you ever seen something at the store or online and thought, I could totally make one for a fraction of the cost? And then you start breaking it down in your head on how you would make that happen? No? Well, I do. So here is me breaking down a Black Keith Haring Cuff Bracelet bracelet like I would in my head: ASOS Modern Armour Cuff Bracelet$26.86 Hive & Honey Cuff Bracelet, $22 Sharpie's Markers Scribbles 3-Dimensional Paint Keith Haring Cuff Bracelet, $165 The great thing about this project is you can custom make the design to whatever you want.
