Valentines DIY is Here: Mixed Media Clutch

Braid silk ribbon scraps and sew on tassels. 

See tutorial for glitter clutch here.

Braid a different type of scrap fabric. The more mixed the media, the better.

With a hot glue gun, cover the back of the clutch in scrap fabric. I love flannel but am also a girlie girl with a bit of an edge, so I love the mix of the glitter and studs.

Place all of your strips on the clutch, and find an assortment that you like.

With a hot glue gun, glue everything onto the clutch. 

Seal the edges of your fabric backing with hot glue. 

The Materials

Canvas Zipper Pouch, Glitter, Modge Podge, Foam Paint Brush, random scraps of fabric, tassels, fur pom pom (this one is from M&J Trimmings Flagship)

Happy V-Day!

Etsy Roundup: Accessorizing

There's a bit of a style lul right now. Winter's been going on and it's a thing and whatever, and fashion week isn't for another few weeks. So, to me, this is the perfect time to troll Etsy for fun accessories that I have absolutely no reason to be looking for. Happy Etsy Hunting!

Etsy Roundup: Spruce Up Your Home This New Year

Introducing my Etsy round up. Just another excuse to spend hours and hours browsing through my favorite marketplace. It amazes me that not everyone knows about Etsy. As a designer, I use it for everything from inspiration, to supplies but it goes so much further than that. The clothes, the vintage bags and jewelry, the housewares, the handmade furniture, the light fixtures, and custom pillows! I could go on.

This week's round up is inspired by the new year. Start fresh, add a new touch to the home and feel like you are in a fresh place, ready to take a fresh start. I'm not into resolutions, however I am into the feeling of cleansing, and starting anew. So of course, my answer to that is to find cool things on Etsy, and redecorate.

My roommates are both on vacation, and will be quite surprised when they get home.
