As much as I hate to say it, the holiday season is pretty much upon us. So this week I wanted to share a super simple project to give you a break from the oncoming crafting bonanza you may bracing for. MissVan722 shared this easy way to upcycle newspaper into a great little bracelet. [...]

Now, this weeks WITW requires a little more hardware than usual, but I just had to share! You’ll need microscope slides, a glass cutter, and the necessary equipment to solder. But look at what an awesome necklace you’ll get when you’re done! Alycimo’s tutorial is really simple and makes the whole process easy to [...]

These “sort of” spats are so adorable! They’re basically just a rectangle of fabric with reinforced button holes and that’s it! Totally easy but totally fab!

I loved the necklace / scarf that Figit posted! Luckily, she linked back to the original thread where she got the idea and luckily skaborsk was nice enough to write a tutorial. I actually made one of these for myself in about 20 minutes and I see more in my future! You can [...]

So I’m sitting in my office with the windows open and that crisp fall air is coming in. Ahhhhh. I love this time of year! And what is a perfect fall accessory? Scarves of course! Those of you who don’t do anything with yarn, shouldn’t feel left out. Stafishtaylz has posted her awesome sewn [...]

I wasn’t able to sneak this into the Featured Projects this time around but I definitely wanted to give it some attention! A little fabric glue, tons of sequins and a fair chunk of time was all that was needed to make these Dorothy knock-offs. Katelouise spent about 9 hours and used 17 meters [...]

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for fall! It’s definitely my favorite season and I love everything about it, but I especially love all the awesome accessories I can finally wear. Like glittens. What are glittens you ask? Well they’re gloves and mittens! And since I don’t knit well enough to knit myself [...]

I just think barbolot is great. I can’t help it. She’s very nice and helpful and she makes the coolest stuff out of reclaimed fabric!

I love this tutorial. It’s such an awesome way to use up all those gorgeous pieces of ribbon you have hanging around! The lovely lol-lol provided an awesome tutorial telling you how to make these fantastic bangles using a Pringles can (or other cardboard tube), some batting, some ribbon, and some glue! Super simple, but [...]

AlwaysInspired has, in fact, inspired me! She just made a fantastic tutorial for these vintage inspired sunhats. They’re stylish and functional! Not only do they look fantastic but they can help reduce the risk of sun damage to your skin. Very important! How did she know I would want one, even when I didn’t know [...]
