Well it seems masks are here to stay for awhile. And there’s nothing better than taking it off the minute you walk outside. But I’ve had some close calls dropping mine. Fumbling with removing a mask and putting sunglasses on, often while holding a bag and keys. It’s not ideal that’s for sure. If only there was a holder to keep the mask handy when not wearing it.

I already have lots of blue and white to wear so a gorgeous red hair barrette DIY was a great solution. It was super easy. And by sticking to one color, it will work for any occasion that involves red.

I made two different styles of DIY necklaces for Christmas gifts. One is so simple, no craft skills required.
