Day 98: I See It, I Make it

I have this thing I do, I see a necklace in a magazine, and decide instead of the hefty $45 price tag, plus shipping, I think, "I could make that!" I'm sure Swell magazine doesn't like this much, but hey, I'm on a budget!

Shoes: Wal-Mart $15, Skirt: Target umm $15 or $20ish, Tank: Fossil $6, Necklace made by moi

Here's the magazine's version...

And here's my version. Pret-tea darn similar if you ask me..

And then I pranced around for a bit in my happy white skirt.

You can also wear it long, like this...

I tried a Carrie Bradshaw bun...it needs a little work.

Day 23: Make a New Necklace

Decided to make a new necklace to add to my collection (like i needed another one!)

This is what you need: Bead Palette (so you can lay it out nice and pretty like) some sort of fastener, scissors, fishin' line, wood beads, colored beads (i got mine at hobby lobby)

String it up! And this is the finished result.

This is where all my crafting magic happens. Thanks roommate for letting me borrow your desk!

Tools of the trade. 

Ok 'til next time my friends. I am coming to ya live from a Super 8 in Carrolton, MO population 4122. Sorry if I am slacking on finding a wi-fi connection! I'll do my best.

Day 5: DIY necklace/scarf

So I can't take credit for this one. Saw it on a blog called Mucho Mucho Bueno Bueno... http://muchomuchobuenobueno.blogspot.com/2010/05/diy-layered-necklace-thingy.html

Problem. I love all my tshirts. So off to the goodwill I go!

                                           Pink Tags are 50% off today so lets find a pink tag!

 

Cut tshirt just below pits, and also cut off bottom thingy. 

 Then cut one continuous strand. Put around legs for more control. Lovely view of my crotch here!

See what I'm doin' here...

Start looping, gather it all at the top, then tie both ends together. (check out my lovely Dexter approved door)

 And here is the finished product!

I suppose I'll model my creation but I'm not, repeat not, showing my face today. Still sick and pale. 

Big gulps, huh? Welp! See ya later!
