Ribbon Flip Flop Diy All right ladies, I hope you have been getting your flops ready. It’s going to be exciting! I have a project for you today with my flip flops, and you will slowly see all of us adding ours over the next couple months. Don’t forget Destri’s flops from last week as inspiration too! Since I just started using the sewing machine of course I had to use it a little for this project. First- I got my supplies ready: I used ribbon, jewels, scissors, sewing machine, glue gun and the flops. Second- I cut my 4 piece of ribbon to about 16 in. and sewed up the middle of the ribbon. Third- I pulled the thread from one end and began to make my ruffle. Fourth- Glue on one side at a time I started from the middle of the flop to the back. Fifth- I cut a smaller piece of ribbon and secured with glue around the end close to the sole of the shoe so the ribbon will not come loose. Last- I glued my jewel in the middle and was done. Can’t wait to see what you guys are coming up with!
Anthro-Inspired Mirror You all know we love a good Anthropologie knockoff around here – so a couple of days ago when I was browsing online I came across this mirror. Oh I definitely need that. Hold the presses – did that say $498??? Huh. We can do better than that. :) So after scouring the thrift shops, cutting myself on mirror glass, and overcoming an unreasonable fear of Mod Podge, here is my version! (Bear with me here – taking a picture of a mirror is a bit tricky. Ready for the tutorial? You’ll need: A MirrorEasy Off Oven CleanerFabric (enough to cover the frame and the back of the mirror)Mod PodgeA Staple Gun or other framing tool I went searching for a method to removing silvering and came across a great tutorial at Mitzi’s Collectibles. I started with a frame that I found at the thrift store. Obviously not clean. We actually had to ask on this one – because it just said 1951. $19.51 seemed way to high – and it was. Start by taking your mirror out of the frame. Lay your mirror down on a protected surface.
Vogue Even Angel Platform at Free People Clothing Boutique "So a few weeks ago, I got a little case of spring fever when it started to get warm for a few days in PA. I decided this year I needed some new sandals, and decided I wanted something with a little height. FP is usually my go-to site for shoes as they always seem to have at least one or two pairs that I am absolutely in love with. Flip-Flop Refashion: Part 1 (Braided Straps) Summer is great. And warm. And full of outdoor activities and trips to the pool and random walks around the neighborhood. I love it. And my shoe of choice for these warmer months?? So, I saw a tutorial for this flip-flop makeover (great work Mother Huddle), floating around the web…….and the wheels started turning. I decided to just string all of the ideas together and create a whole series. First up? A quick and easy flip flop…….made with some braided knit fabric scraps, using the 5 strand braiding technique, shown here. These soft braided straps streeeeeetch the perfect amount, right around the back of my heel……..keeping the flip-flop snug and in place. I added little loops of fabric to the sides, to keep the braided straps in place. These little sandals are so light, they’re soft and stretchy, and my favorite part……..they’re inexpensive. ($2.50 to be exact) These flip-flops make me think of the beach……and make me miss GA. I guess I better find a sandy spot at the lake. And that’s it. Enjoy.

How to Make Leaf Skeletons I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons. I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. You need washing soda, not baking soda! Gather your leaves. Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves. You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn’t dry out. When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water. I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. If you’re still with me, this is what I ended up with… I have a maple leaf which turned out not so well. 37.1Kstumbleupon
Mohop, The Sandals With Infinite Possibilities | The Succulent Wife Home » For Her 15 June 20092 Comments By Shari Bonnin, Contributing Editor Shockingly, I was a raffle prize winner at my friend Christine Haynes’ Book signing Party for her book “Chic and Simple Sewing”. Annie Mohaupt is the hand made artist/cobbler behind Mohop Sandals, dubbed “the infinity sandal” because by the use of various ribbons, you can tie them an infinite amount of ways onto one sandal base that has side elastic loops that the ribbons go through. I’ve followed Annie’s success since her trial and error days starting out when she was giving away samples in 2005 and I missed out. You’ll be happy to hear that shipping is only $2 to a.ny.where.
Boden Boulevard Necklace Knockoff Did you know Mother’s Day is about a week and half away?? Eek!! I don’t know about you but I’m scrambling a bit here. ;) So I thought I’d help you out. Actually, Melissa and I are helping you out. :) Melissa sent in a Tutorial Request for a darling Boden Necklace – and I knew that it would be perfect for a Mother’s Day idea. Here is my version of the prettiness - And here is the Boden version – with a crazy retail value of $78 - I like the navy they used but I went for a more neutral color scheme. This necklace is super easy!! Here’s what you’ll need to make it: twill or other ribbon (approx 50″) large link chain (you’ll need a piece about 13″ long) bead assortment – enough for 5 13″ strands beading cord crimp beads (10) (All supplies came from Michael’s) :) Start by weaving your twill piece through the links of the chain. Continue weaving the twill through until the chain piece is centered in the twill. Pretty cute already huh? Now we’re going to start adding in our small bead strands.

PeerIndex THE 10-YEAR HOODIE: Built for Life, Backed for a Decade! by Jake Bronstein The 10-Year Hoodie Is... 1 - A Super Premium, unisex sweatshirt made with only the finest of materials. It'll grow into you the way your favorite sweatshirt should — getting softer with wear, keeping you warm and snuggly, and stacking up stories along the way. 2 - Built for life, guaranteed to last at least a decade and backed with FREE mending! 3 - A battle cry: Not everything should be disposable. 4 - 100% Made in America. 5 - Sold direct. It starts when the Flint and Tinder team overheard a conversation in a factory we were visiting. In the manufacturing industry, knowing that something will need to be replaced instead of fixed is known as "planned obsolescence." It doesn't have to be this way though — far from it. We'd like to think we've done just that. The 10-Year Hoodie is available in the following colors: Flint and Tinder's 10-Year Hoodie was designed in a slim, modern fit (nearly identical to that offered by JCrew). By popular request, we've now added an inner pocket!
little guiding stars Since the new year has started I’ve been trying to think of ways to be more kind to my self. Especially when that nasty gremlins try to creep in and stump me. I remembered this origami star video on You Tube and had to get them involved in my plan. I thought it would be fun to make a whole bunch with kind words and “you are….” phrases inside. I made 60 of them, enough to last me the whole year if I open one a week, plus a few extra just in case. I used 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper and cut 1/2 x 12″ strips, then followed the video HERE*. *UPDATE! Be Sociable, Share!
