Last week I posted about rhinestone ear cuffs, and after a lot of experimentation, I figured out how to make my own version. I have to warn you, though, that even in casual clothing, wearing one of these may make you feel like a princess. I’ll show you how to make the one above, but […]
Fun with Washi Tape
Today I played around with washi tape a bit. I love the stuff, but except for using it to tape up orders for my shop, I never quite know what to do with it. Today, though, I used it to make some notebooks and my pencil cup (ahem, a tin can), way more cute. The […]

Brass Bead Bracelet Tutorial
It’s funny, for as long as I can remember I’ve only worn silver metals, but somehow I recently fell in love with faceted brass beads.
