DIY Ruffle Shower Curtain
I have admired the ruffle shower curtain from Anthropologie for the last year but the price is a bit much to spend on a shower curtain. I figured it was worth me trying it on my own. I really like how this turned out and it was fairly simple, time consuming, but simple.

DIY: Embellish your Headband
Headband's are so easy to embellish. All you need is lace, beads, or scrap material. I usually buy my headband's in packs of 3 or 4 from Target for under a $1 a piece.

DIY: Give those Old Beads some Oomph!
I found this strand of red beads at the Goodwill and after finding the coat buttons with chains at the estate sale last weekend I decided to see what they would look like together.

DIY: Adding Ruffles to Your Tank
I had some extra time on my hands and decided to make this tank a little more feminine and fun. Ok well maybe I didn't have extra time on my hands but I really wanted to add something to this tank. I never wear it and so I asked myself why, and the only thing I could figure was that it was just so blah.

Fabric Rose Necklace
I have never added fabric roses or fabric flowers of any kind to a necklace. This was my first try at this. I found this necklace in that lot of jewelry and made these flowers from a shirt and stuffed them in the circle to see what they would look like and I liked it, so I glued a black round piece of velvet on the backs and I was done.

Happy 4th of July & a Necklace
This morning as I was getting dressed I decided to wear one of my newest creations. I had a t-shirt and skirt on and when I walked into the bathroom my husband said "oh your going to dress up?". I had a t-shirt on, apparently the necklace made it all look a lot nicer than it was.

Easy DIY Rope Necklace w/ Curtain Tiebacks
I saw this a while back on love Maegan and wanted to make one and so I have been keeping my eyes out for these curtain tiebacks. I was worried at first because the kind I found at the goodwill were with tassels, but fortunately when you take the tassel off they are just plain tiebacks. So lets get started.

Satin Bow Tie Recycled Necklace
I finished another recycled necklace. If you have ever worked with jewelry you know that you have to have the right tools to take apart or add to jewelry, believe me I tried with regular pliers and it did not work. So I bought a five piece set of small jewelry pliers that have been so nice to work with and made this process of jewelry making so much easier.

Bow Necklace w/ Vintage Jewelry
I am so excited because I finally finished one of my necklaces! This is one that I started about a month ago and never went back to until I got this huge lot of vintage jewelry from the shop down in Corvallis. It was so fun to put this necklace together. The bow was removed from an old prom dress and I just paired it with some vintage jewelry.

DIY Flower Headband
Tools: Fabric or ribbon of choice, glue gun, headband.
1. Make a flower, using the tutorials here or here. I used the flip flop flower tutorial.
2. Cut out a piece of coordinating fabric in a circle for the back. Its best to use fray check on the edges to keep them from fraying or coming apart.
