Thanks to my shop, I end up with quite a few beautiful fabric scraps. Last week I came up with a wearable way to use some small pieces of fabric. You really don’t need much to make these hair ties, which makes them perfect for those scraps you just can’t throw away.
DIY Pet Teepee
A couple of years ago, this guy I knew used to call me a crazy cat lady. I denied it (they’re single and have waaaay more cats than I do), but these days I’ve embraced my inner cat lady. I mean, when you cover your fingernails in cat decals, it’s kind of obvious that you […]
DIY Leather Earrings

DIY Constellation Keychain Tutorial

DIY Leather Keychain Tutorial
This weekend I got busy with some of my leather scraps and whipped up these keychains. They’re unisex and pretty classic, so I think they’d make great little gifts, perhaps for someone heading off to school this fall. Or just make a set for yourself to help you keep track of your keys.
