DIY Inspiration: Tribal Safety Pin Necklace

-
I was looking up images on Google because I was thinking of using safety pins for this wall art idea I had and then I came across this picture:

 Chioma Nnadi's (Vogue Fashion writer) wearing a Vena Cava Necklace

And this other one:

I am SO thinking about making one of these.

DIY: No-sew Leather Clutch

-
Image
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

DIY Inspirations

I have been busy working on a portfolio that I want to send to a company (so that they can be amazed by my accomplishments and hire me.. I know wishful thinking), but I have been working so slowly and I am sure it is because I want it to be awesome and not due to procrastinating. :) So I haven't had a chance to work on any DIY projects or come up with any clever postings. So instead I give you a list of items I've seen that could potentially turn into DIY projects: 1. MARNI Necklace , $390 2. Oscar de la Renta Beaded Tassel Earrings , $395 3. Skulls Drawcord Bracelet , $26 4. Neiman Marcus Colorblock N-S Tote , $68 I don't guarantee anything, but I am leaning towards the MARNI necklace or Skulls Bracelet. I believe Stripes & Sequins did a DIY for earrings similar to these already and I already did a DIY on totes, but another tutorial couldn't hurt...so I guess time will only tell if I end up doing one of these! I leave you with a song that is making my work a li
