DIY. heart shaped box {valentine}

 

DIY. gilded business cards.

Saw this online & just had to share it. Such a wonderful idea. 

Check out the full blog post at Camille Styles. 

Obviously you can get a little crazy & use whatever colors you want! 

I'm thinking Bazooka Joe pink. 

Pretty soon everything I own is going to be that color.

All you need are your business cards, spray paint & something heavy. super easy & genius. 

DIY. mason jar chandelier. part 2.

After 2 months it's finally done! 

Unfortunately this project took on a life of it's own...

supplies were bought, then better supplies were bought...

it was wired... then re-wired with better wire...

anyway, there is no step by step for this guy.

But if you know a thing or 2 about electrical work, 

then check on this tutorial from Kara Paslay Designs & you should be able to figure it out...

basic supplies for this chandelier:

4 small blue mason jars (vintage)

4 small mason jars (whole foods)

5 lage blue mason jars (vintage)

1 collapsible wire basket from from CB2.

plus all of the electrical supplies, wiring, bulbs etc. 

experimenting with christmas lights. I think it's a go.

DIY. chanel button earrings.

Designer buttons turned into earrings!

1. Spray paint your buttons & let them dry.

2. Use nail polish remover to remove all paint except for the crevices.

(it will happen naturally) 

3. Superglue on earring posts.

(i found mine at Michael's - $3.00 for 20)

When placing the posts, glue them towards the top, 

if it's centered the logo will have the opportunity to spin around. 

If it's at the top, it will stay put after you put them on.

4. Let them dry, add your own backings & you're done!!!

lilac talons.

lilac lace base by sally & kiss nail art in black.

carefully draw and fill in triangles with the points at the tip of the nail.

again, not so hard. I actually surprised myself!
