Creativity in an hour or less
Today’s project is one I shared at Crafts Unleashed last month – it’s a fun and easy bangle that is great for jewelry beginners because it uses memory wire – that means there are no clasps or findings to worry about. All you need to think about is what kinds of fabulous beads you want… Continue Reading…
I love trees, which you frequent readers already know. Nature is so beautiful. I was thinking over the weekend about some nature-inspired jewelry, and while this look isn’t all that earthy, it’s an easy technique that you can implement really inexpensively with some polymer clay and leaves. What you will need: Small leaves Polymer clay… Continue Reading…
It has been a while since I’ve made some DIY beauty recipes, and when my last lip balm disappeared (oh, toddlers…) I thought I better whip up another batch. Because – once you do it once and see how easy it is, it’s the type of thing that’s really fun to make again. Inspiration from… Continue Reading…

I’ve been dying to… Continue Reading…

So clearly it’s no secret how much I love making different kinds of easy hemp bracelets. Every time I make one version, it gives me an idea about another way I could make one. I love the wrap bracelets so much right now, and I incorporated a few coordinating seed beads into this piece. I… Continue Reading…
It hardly seems fair to call this one a “tutorial”, because it’s SO easy, and fairly self-explanatory. But now that spring is (nearly) here, I have been itching to add some color to my wardrobe. And because shopping isn’t easy when you feel gigantic, I settle for adding some color to my accessories instead. I… Continue Reading…
I have a quick and easy tutorial for you today that doesn’t take much in the way of supplies, making it perfect for camp crafts, girls’ nights, teens – well, it’s a project that’s pretty much suitable for everyone, LOL. And you can do it just about anywhere – I will show you! If this… Continue Reading…
