Shrinky Bracelet
If you grew up in the 80's, like I did, you're probably already familiar with the awesomeness that is Shrinky Dinks...but did you know that you can still buy Shrinky Dinks? Yep, they're still out there - in craft stores, hobby shops, and even on Amazon. But you don't have to buy a Shrinky Dink kit to have all the fun. Just look for #6 plastic containers and you can make your own! There is a great tutorial on Instructables (courtesy of Dabbled) with all the instructions for making your own shrinky projects from #6 plastic containers, so I won't go into too much detail here. Most of this post is actually about turning these awesome little pieces of plastic into a sweet bracelet (and bonus pendant) to give to mom for Mother's Day. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Use a pair of pliers to open the rings. 8. Surprise mom with a priceless piece of jewelry made by her little artists! Cute, right?

How to Make a Beautiful “Love” Necklace {Giveaway}
I’m Kate from Cheap Crafty Mama and I’m so excited to be here to show you how to make this super cool Murano Glass Bead and Freshwater Pearl “Love” Necklace– How to Make a CUTE Necklace Here’s What You’ll Need… • thick silver (or silver-coated) wire • thin silver (or silver-coated) wire • silver chain- cut into 8″ and 6″ sections • 2 beads (I used a murano glass bead and freshwater pearl) • lobster clasp • pliers (round-tipped and needle-nosed) • wire clippers • jewelry hammer (or a hammer with a smooth face) • jewelry hammering block (or thick piece of metal to hammer on) To get started I used the round-tipped pliers to twist the thick wire to spell “love.” When I was done shaping it I hammered it with my jewelry hammer. Next, I made the bead pendants. Using the thin wire, I made a little loop around the tip of my pliers. I clipped off the extra wire from the end of the loop and then slipped the bead on the long part of the wire, then made another loop on the other side of the bead.

diy project: jane joss’ recycled quilt flowers | Design*Sponge
sadly yesterday ran away from me and i wasn’t able to post a project from jane joss i’d been excited about all week. jane joss is an alias for alyssa and joslyn krismer, former college roommates turned sisters-in-law (married to twins!). these self-taught seamstresses have a love of cool fabric and create some really incredible crafts and home accessories from their collections of great textiles. inspired by nature and beautiful prints, alyssa and joslyn now create modern fabric arrangements and potted plants which they sew and construct by hand. i’ve been a fan of their “sweet leaves” collections on etsy for a while and was thrilled when they agreed to share a DIY project inspired by their textile flowers. and the best part about this project? CLICK HERE for the full project steps after the jump! Alyssa (Jane of Jane Joss) inherited a gorgeous quilt from her great-grandmother, but it was falling apart and beyond repair. To duplicate our project, you’ll need:
DIY Chevron Necklace
Last week Carly at Chic Steals posted her late summer Objects of Desire. I loved this Open Triangle Necklace from ASOS. Normally I wouldn’t DIY a necklace that could be purchased for less than $20, but I already had all of the materials and it only took a few minutes. Remember the nail polish ‘enamel’ necklace? I gave it a couple coats of nail polish and let it dry before using jump rings to attach a brass chain.
Friendship Bracelets
Macraméd friendship bracelets were all the rage when I was growing up in the eighties. All the girls at my school would obsessively make them for one another in a dizzying variety of colors, widths, and patterns. It's amazing, thinking back, that such young girls could make such beautifully intricate accessories. I, of course, tried my hand at making them as well. I would ride my bike down to the five-and-dime store and pick out the most sophisticated color combinations of embroidery floss I could find, but when it came to the actual macramé I never got beyond plain stripes. There was nothing wrong with plain stripes, except that the other girls seemed so much more advanced with their diamonds and chevrons. Fast forward 20 years: Purl Soho started carrying DMC Cotton Embroidery Floss in every conceivable color (including fluorescents! Making friendship bracelets is a surprisingly easy craft, and best of all, in the end you'll have a bunch of cute summer bracelets to give to your pals.
