DIY envelope clutch

Leather Fold Over Clutch I’ve been eying leather fold over clutches in bright colors like these beauties below for some time now and thought they would make a really great DIY project. It’s a really simple project and a great way to add a punch of color to your spring outfit. Cause it is all. about. color this season. guest blogger - Sasha from The Guilded Bee: Here's another DIY project from our sweet friend, Sasha - from the The Gilded Bee. Be sure to check out her awesome shop full of handmade packaging lovelies. Thanks for being here with us Sasha! I'm delighted to share my book tutorial with you today: Supplies you’ll need to make this project:

Photo Tile Coasters {Using Resin} Last Christmas I almost had a breakdown... We had just moved in to our home the month before, but I didn't want to let that prevent us from having the holliest jolliest Christmas. My intentions were good. I wanted to make Christmas special for everyone, but I learned the hard way that I should have been planning ahead!! And that's how it happened.

Faux Braided Bangle Bracelet I called this "faux" braided because it looks like your typical braid, but actually isn't. I've had this idea in my mind for a while; I've been contemplating ways to use thin metal bangles that I never use anymore. When the crew at Lion Brand asked me if I'd like to try out some of their yarn, I saw that they had this really interesting "ribbon yarn" and knew it would be perfect for this project. I love trying out new materials that aren't common (or that I haven't used before) so thank you to Lion Brand for letting me try it out!

Button and String Mini Journal I've been trying to decide on what to make my hubby for a Valentine's gift and decided that I wanted to write more than a letter - so I decided to make him a mini journal / album / book of things I love about him, different memories I have of our life together, things like that (hopefully he won't read this before next weekend ;)). I found this fab tutorial awhile back about button and string closure and somehow wanted to incorporate it, thus I came up with this fun journal - it has a vintage feel - the button and string closure, and a bunch of found papers inside, including old school writing pages, graph paper and strategically cut magazine pages. The fun thing about these journals is you can use them for any occasion- to record a special event, to keep as a personal journal, to write a note to a friend, many possibilities! Take your cover sheet and score a line 1.5" in from the right side (see below). Then score a line 4.75" in from the left side (see below).

Basic Pocket TOTE How many bags do you own? Probably a lot. Maybe a better question is….how many bags have you made? Um, probably a lot. But isn’t there’s always room for one more? Similar to the KID PANTS series, I thought it would be fun to share a series of Tote bag tutorials. sticky notes books or sticky notebooks - greetingarts Using pads of sticky notes, scrapbook paper and a few other supplies, I made one of these books for each of Rebecca's classmates to celebrate the last day of Kindergarten. It didn't take that long, and I thought some of you might like the idea. Who knew this was going to turn into a book making blog?

It's my favorite season, so of course my collection of scarves has been slowly growing. For the past couple of months, I've been trying to figure out ways to organize my room and closet. This is one solution, at least for the scarves!

Felt Bookmarks {Tutorial} – Back-to-School It seems like I make everything I can out of felt and this is my latest little project…felt bookmarks! They’re cute, fun and super easy to make. Package them up with a few new notebooks, pencils and a book gift card for a great back-to-school gift. They make sweet teacher gifts and since I’m a homeschool mom I made some just for me. Here’s a quick little tutorial for these bookmark beauties… Another Modge Podge Upcycle Here I am again, Modge Podging another purse! Since my initial wallet upcycle tutorial, I have been scouring the thrift stores and garage sales for another wallet to decoupage. I found this little envelope-style purse at a garage sale last Sunday. Paper Flowers – Anyone Can Do That Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. And, believe me, I am neither meticulous nor particularly patient. You could even say I’m the opposite.

Clear Heart Full Eyes Can’t Lose I took some major inspiration from a certain Luella dress and all things Valentine-y to come up with this top. It’s quite similar to those heart cut-out dresses that have been seen all over, but this is way easier to make than a dress! And a bit more wearable, too, seeing as how it’s just a shirt, and you can pair it and wear it with just about anything. Oh, and there are pretty lace frills involved, too!
