Fancy Sweatshirt Tutorial
Recently I posted about the trend of fancy sweatshirts, and I finally got around to making my own version. Mine is pretty subtle, with matte silver gems on a gray shirt, but I really like the effect. Plus, it’s nice and cozy on these cold winter days we’ve been having lately. Here’s how to make […]
Printable Feather Wrapping Paper
Yesterday I posted a bunch of present wrapping ideas, and I was so inspired by this one that I created my own version. Instead of evergreen branches, though, I scanned some pretty feathers. All I did was lay out the feathers on my scanner bed and scan them, and then I did a little bit […]

DIY Houndstooth Stenciled Shirt
Last week I shared my DIY houndstooth inspiration, and today you get to see the results. I wanted a grungy, messy look, so I used a non-aerosol spray fabric paint, which gave me drips and an uneven application. If you want a neater outcome, you can also do this project with regular fabric paint and […]
