DIY Faux-fur vest!!

Here’s what you’ll need:

* 1-2 yards of Faux Fur 
* Measuring tape 
* Pen
* Scissors

* Needle and thread
 

• Step 1:

Lay your fabric stretched out on the ground… 

(To make this vest appear asymmetrical, keep the width longer than the length.)

• Step 2:

Measure your shoulders across your back from bone to bone and fold fur inwards according to your shoulder measurements.

• Step 3:

About 6-12in. down from the top (according to how much of a collar you want) cut out arm holes in the shape of an upside down tear drop. 

• Step 4:

Now you will work with the collar, you will want to fold the designated material in half and add a few stiches in each side and down the middle to keep the material folded down!

and there you have it!  
 

tip: if you want to cinch the waist to create a more flattering look, use a ribbon to dress up the vest or a belt to dress it down!

DIY Spiky Crystal Ring Inspired by Pamela Love FW11. Rarely do I get this excited over a tutorial, but this one has links to super cheap crystals (3/$2.25 + shipping) and the rest of the supplies you can get anywhere. It’s also so much easier than it looks.

DIY Button Bracelet that requires NO TOOLS/NO JUMP RINGS. You do need scissors, ribbon, a chain bracelet with clasp and buttons. But that is it! Normally I dislike videos, but in this case she has 2 short videos that teach you how to make this simple bracelet… and again - no jump rings (and if can sit through these from start to finish - anyone can). Video tutorials from Vitamin C… A Daily Dose of Creativity here.

DIY Weaving with Drinking Straws. Skinny = 3 straws, Wider = 15 straws. Even though this is for children of all ages, I had to read the directions twice, but then I got it and it was easy to understand. Good for small projects like bracelets, and great for kids. Tutorial at Home Ed Groups here.

::DIY::Luxe Snow globes:: 

• A jar of your choice (with a lid)
• jewellery
• Anti-rust sealant for metal pieces
• Clear-drying epoxy  
• Distilled water
• Dash of glycerin
• Large silver or white glitter (smaller versions will float at the top)

Steps:

1. Use clear-drying epoxy to adhere your piece to the inside of the lid. 
2. After the epoxy dries, fill your jar with distilled or boiled water 
3. Add just a dash of glycerin so the “snow” falls slowly.
4. Add glitter. If you don’t like the look of glitter, you can use faux snow (find@craft stores.)
5. Screw your lid on tightly„,then enjoy your snowglobe
