I want to post some more complicated jewelry as well, but lets start with some fun and really easy bracelets to brighten up the summer even more!:) Needed: elastics (preferable coloured an good looking but even normal elastic or hair elastic will do), charms ( I've mostly used open charms for this example to make a double elastic side but Making a single one is even easier (check anklets) so normal charms work good as well!), caps! soft metal caps to hide knots;) And if you like add beads, use cord with magnetic closing etc. More tutorials coming soon:) Take 1 peace of elastic, pull it through the charm on one side and then on the other side. Now either tie them together at the end, or 1 cm from the charm on both sides leaving a single (more stretchable) elastic in the back. Use the caps  to hide the knots and...Done already! :D on to the next! A good reason to work with elastics is that it fits anyone and it doesn't discolor (like chains or other metals) And (even t...

It worked! I had this idea, that the fabric of a showercurtain might be perfect for a poncho or a raincoat. So, i got a new one, and tried it out! Now, i have to admit it was a lot harder then i thought (mostly because I've never worked with this kind of fabric and I've actually never made a coat or a hoodie before;). But..It works! I'm going to tell you how i did it and I would love to see what YOU make of it! 1. Close the cutains Lay the showercurtain on the floor and fold the top and bottom to the middle. (a little bit more of the top/bottom if it's not trimmed correctly yet, mine had a good bottom and even buttonholes on top so i could totally use it as it was). Then start pinning or (to make it even easier) start taping paper tape on the places where you think you should cut/sew. Make sure to leave a stroke on top or bottom to make the waist belt later. 2.  Fill in the gaps You can either pin and try on first, or if you feel confidant sew the side and s...

This is a "refashion/upcycle" project so we start with some normal length jeans or a boring jeans shorts. We are going to trash them to be able to save them... Make sure it still fits;) or try to make it a bit bigger first by taking away the thread in the sides and putting it back together using less fabric to fold inwards. Needed: some sandpaper (tiny peace is enough!) and/or cheese scraper and whatever else you might want to add (lace, iron on emblems, or pocket applications etc) Ok, Ready to say goodbye to the boring old jeans and get ready for a delicious summer? 1. The unraveling/revealing Cut the jeans at your preferred length (tiny bit longer for unravelling) and start to use your fingers and some tiny scissors to make the bottom unravel and look raggedy. If its going to much or you're scared it might get too much then stitch shortly above. 2. Demolishion time Now take the sandpaper and start making movements (check what works best sideways or ...

Again, there are so many ways to display your photo's, and i might add more idea's later but for now I'm showing you the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to do so!:) The hardest part is deciding and finding you basic bg material. I have found mine at a tiny shop and they are cheap (0,50 ct. each) Christmas place mats. (the photo was also taken at christmas but in spring i will decorate it fresher) You could also use a big picture frame or mirror and criss cross around it with strings, or a spray painted laundry rack or vitrage (take every other one out), or even just bang some nails in the wall and go nuts with some strings. Anyway..lots of options just think creative;) Here comes the explanation of my project... Needed, the chosen background(s), a tiny (painted) clothespins (or whatever you like, hairpins etc.), some treat or iron cord or whatever needed to attach/prepare the bg and some decorations/pictures you like. Ready to go? Make sure not to see too m...
