Stacking

-
I have become intrigued by this idea of stacking accessories. So I decided to test some out (as well as my temporary camera and editing on Picasa).

In these pictures, you will find 2 leather bands that I got in Florence, gold bangles, a gold charm bracelet, the feather/leaf bracelet I made from polymer clay, a gold watch, a black beaded gold necklace, and a paper rolled bracelet made by Ugandan women.

Stacking is not anything new or some innovative idea that nobody has thought of before. But I definitely like the idea of combining different types of accessories... such as the unlikely pairing of an expensive item next to a not so expensive one. BUT the best part of stacking is being able to include an accessory that holds some type of memory or an interesting fact about it.

DIY: No-sew Leather Clutch

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

DIY: Peter Pan Embellished Detachable Collar

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
