Bow Ear Cuff

Am I the only one who has never heard of ear cuffs? Probably. But then I saw this pinned on Pinterest and I was in love! I debated for a while on whether or not to buy it, but then I decided to challenge myself and make it.
A quick online search lead me to this tutorial on how to make a basic ear cuff. After I had an understanding of how they worked I was able to create the bow. Here is the finished product-

I love it! I'm still getting used to it so I'm a little scared about it falling off, but it seems to be staying on really well. What do you guys think of it? Would you wear one?

I'm Back!! And I have Crafts With Me!!

Well, I've kind of taken a long hiatus from this blog. But not from crafting!
Recently we took some friends to downtown Franklin, TN. It's a really neat place to walk around and go in the stores. There is a really cute store that's on the main street. It's called Lulu's. If I could go on a shopping spree in any store I would choose Lulu's and Anthropologie. But alas, it's expensive. So all I can do is go in and get ideas for making my own things. One idea that I stole copied, is covering composition books. This is what I came up with:
This one I made for my grandma.



 This one was for a friend who makes amazing cupcakes! It's a mini notebook.

 And this one I made for myself.

They are super easy to make and they don't take long to do either. All you need is some scrapbooking paper or anything else you want to cover it with. For the blue one with the birds I used cardstock paper. And I used mod podge to glue it on. But you could probably use regular glue too. For the edges I used ribbon and some lace on one of them. And voila! Instant gift.

Gettin' Crafty With Shoes

I made these shoes for my cousins wedding a couple months ago. Her wedding was very rustic, Anthropologie-ish. These went perfectly with her theme.

They were a big hit! I found these flannel mary janes at Target and thought that they would look so cute if they were spiffed up a little. So I added a couple felt flowers and embroidered their initials on the side. A pretty simple way to customize wedding shoes!

You can find them in my Etsy shop.

Felt Needle Book

I keep stealing my mom's needle book, and she keeps asking for it back! So I decided to fix the problem and make my own. I was inspired by a tag from one of my cardigans, it's Element. This is what I came up with:

Check out my Etsy shop soon. I'm going to add it!

Anthropologie A Fine Fete Necklace

I was looking on Anthropologies website at the necklaces and I came accross this one-

So, I figured I could totally make it. And I did! Here is the finished product.

I used some leather I had from one of my purses that broke. Then I just painted them, put some holes and and strung them on an old chain. I decided to keep it simple, so I left out the ribbon. But it would be super easy to add if I ever change my mind. I saved $68!
