Flower necklace

This is another cool tutorial on how to turn something old into something new... Except this was a shirt I still liked and was trying to do something fancy to it and winded up messing it up so......


Here is a picture of the original shirt..

First thing is to cut out 5 small circles out of felt

Next take the fabric of your choice.. in this case my silk shirt


Cut out as many small circles as your shirt / fabric will allow

( i had way more circles than this by the way)


next scrunch one circle up and glue it to the felt

do this as many times as it takes to cover up the black felt. ( it should then resemble a flower)

Repeat the above steps for each circle


take your black felt and glue the first 3 flowers into a shape that you like


add a chain to each side of the last two flowers and glue to the scrap felt

 Cut the excess felt around the flowers and whala... you have a brand new fashion accessory 

Not bad for camera phone pictures :)

Leather headband from Belt

I saw this really cool tutorial on how to salvage old things into something new and I decided to create this headband from an old belt that I never wear

Here is the belt... not a good photo I know...

First step is to cut out the pattern into little leaf shapes

Then arrange the shapes to resemble a big leaf on a felt backdrop 

Next grab an elastic headband and glue your leaf onto the headband

I added a clip to the back of mine so I could remove it if I decided i wanted to wear it as a brooch instead of a headband

and whala... you have a brand new headpeace/ brooch for your wardrobe...

Handmade country style skirt

I Just made my first skirt from scratch! I made this skirt from a king sized flat sheet that I brought from my job for 84 cents!! Thats right a skirt for 84 cents!!!!

 here is the sheet that I brought.. I still have tons of fabric left over so I will definitely be making more stuff

 here is the finished product.. took me about 20 minutes to make.. the belt in this picture i got from the thrift store brand new for 50 cent on everything half off day :)

Just some things I've made...

4 Dollar Pillows in 10 minutes!

My job had a sale on fabric 1.99 per yard so I picked some up for a measly $3.50 ( with my discount) 

this took me all of 10 minutes 5 minutes for each pillow not bad for 4 dollars!
