DIY: earrings board

I made this super easy earrings display from a cork message board and some lace. All I had to do was to paint the board in white acrylic paint and glue stripes of cotton lace on it. I think it turned out fine:)

Paper earrings

When I bought this lovely chiyogami paper I decided to use it for paper earrings.

It´s very simple:

1. Cut the earring shape from cardboard four times

2. Glue two pieces together

3. When it´s dry sand with fine sandpaper

4. Cover with acrylic base.

5. Paint sides with acrylic paint

6. Glue the paper on and cover with Mod-podge.

Optionally, apply coat of transparent varnish.
 I like this project because variations of shape and pattern are endless 

DIY colar-necklace and skirt

I love Petar Pan collars so I decided to make one. I used felt as base and glued half-sphere beads on it. That simple.

Skirt is also very simple. I was following this tutorial.
I used velvet fabric and cotton lace (I think brown lace would be better but I didn´t find it at local shops).

Spaghetti scarf

I made my first spaghetti scarf out of an old T-shirt. I took  ugliest T-shirt from my closet because I wasn´t sure how to make it, but I´m happy with the result.

It looks good embellished with a brooch or bow.

Bows

I love bows in all shapes and sizes whether they are on clothes, hair accessories or bags. I found some leftover leather in my supplies box so I decided to turn them to a bunch of bows that I can wear as brooches or hair clips. I love them, can´t wait to make more.

DIY: Wrist warmers

I love to wear wrist warmers in winter so I decided to make them from a pair of old tights. It was easy - I just cut the feet off and sew some white lace to the bottom and cut the other side to the mid forearm size. I´m happy with the result - they are warm and lovely.

Canvas bag

Since I carry this plain canvas bag around, I have many ideas how to decorate it. So I started with the simplest one - I made a  bow, add some lace and attached to the bag. Now I just have to buy more bags...

Easter baskets

There are many ways to make paper Easter basket, but this time I decided to make it very simple. I used thick scrapbooking paper to make small, round baskets. Then, I decorated them with paper lace tape and paper flowers and put some painted eggs, chocolate eggs and small candies inside. It might be a good idea to hang them on the Easter tree.
