D.I.Y: Gold Twig Bangles

The look seems very delicate, fragile and feminine.
I like that.
This D.I.Y was created by
 a very popular DIY blog, A Pair And A Spare

(her inspiration, below)


Like her, you can pair it along with other thin gold bracelets



Having trouble on deciding how to stack your bracelets?
Here's A Pair and A Spare's previous post..



D.I.Y: Broken Lock Necklace

Those locks you use on suitcases.. you know what I'm referring to right?
Yeah, they don't last forever, you know.
And when they don't, make a D.I.Y. why don't you.

Well the marvelous Queen Of Funky DIY
is one step ahead of us all.  Such a genius at such a young age, 13. 


She simply removed those number rings/wheels from the broken lock and created a necklace.

D.I.Y: Reconstruction of A Thrifted Sweater

Yay!


By the end of this magnificent D.I.Y... you'll have some

Inspiration: Color Block Dress

Found on Tumblr, the pattern of this 
dress seemed simple enough and also quite elegant.

D.I.Y: Jewelled Heels

Again with Honestly WTF ..
My obsession with that website has obviously grown..
Someone has to look fabulous at all those holiday parties right?




(Their inspiration from Miu Miu)

D.I.Y: Peter Pan Collar

Yes, I know. Peter Pan collars have been in 
for a long while now.
It's just, there was never the perfect tutorial..
and now, as you probably have now guessed.. I have found one.
Again, it`s easy as ABC. And you only need a few pieces.. ones that you
can find around the house and the nearby craft store (maybe.. dollar store as well)

(Their inspiration)

D.I.Y: Faux Fur Vest

Horray! More winter clothes to make!
This right here, I would like to make for a small girl.. so she would look 
like this little piece of sunshine!
(Image found on Refinery29.com)

Well the tutorial seems fairly simple. However there's no instructions for a large hood.
You fashionistas can figure that one out on your own. 
The tutorial was found on A Blonde + A Brunette's Tumblr

D.I.Y: Crochet

So I want to attempt to knit/crochet a circle scarf.. 
it IS the winter season after all.
Ironic how Canada currently has absolutely no snow.

.
I adore how this lovely little ring reminds me of a bird's nest.
Anyways..
You could just check out the cute and easy tutorial posted by 
the glorious blog Socks And Mittens.
I can't post much, because I must study. I'll keep things very brief from now on.
Well ENJOY.

D.I.Y: Monochrome Clutch

Found on Runway DIY, this tutorial displays
a creative way to re-style old clutches.
Solid-colored pieces are very "in" for the summer and spring clothing
pieces, so this would be a wonderful addition.
(The inspiration)

Inspiration: Flower Painted Shorts

Something different!
I've seen many trends, and this is super cute,
super easy, and creative!
Hand painted flowers on your shorts.
I would personally use acrylics, but I'm uncertain if it would be
the right paint...
Found on The Glamourai.

D.I.Y: Dolce & Gabbana Crochet Bag

Damn, I wish I could knit, or crochet.
This project is super cute and I want to have it so badly.
Mostly for the beach. Too bad it's getting colder.
Posted by Because She Started Knitting recently,
her D.I.Y is very much like the real thing, fanatastic outcome.
Next mission: Learn to crochet.
Wish me luck guys!

D.I.Y: Feather Headband

Want something a bit wild?
No, this isn't a normal accessory, but it's fun to have around.
This was on Chictopia and the instructions are
on the side bar of this look.
"All you need is a black thick ribbon, a hot glue gun and a packet of feathers.
Glue the feathers to the back of the ribbon,
let it dry and then glue another piece of ribbon over the top of the feathers
so it’s nice & soft on your forehead"

Good luck!
