Sometime over the summer my mom expressed interest in a two toned bracelet. Something I was interested in making! I didn’t want to just swap a silver strand for a gold one on the braided chain bracelet I made earlier this year. We checked out different chains and decided to weave a gold snake chain through a double chain. Continue reading “DIY Woven Two-Toned Chain Bracelet”
Last week was my mom’s birthday and she and my dad came to visit. We decided to have a craft day on Saturday and it was so fun! We each had our own projects to work on but it was nice to just visit and have some creative outlets. I had had this DIY jewelry tray idea for awhile and it was the perfect short little project to work on while visiting with my parents. AKA, it was super easy and didn’t take hardly any work!
One of the first little DIY projects I did in our house that made a big impact was in our master bathroom. It was a couple months after we had moved in – long before I started this blog.

Did you ever make potato beads as a kid? I remember waiting so patiently for the potato beads to dry to make something out of them.

I have the worst luck with purchased keychains and the one from the dealer was going to break off any day so naturally I decided to make a potato bead keychain!
Years ago I had made some simple pearl drop earrings. The pearl beads weren’t real and over the past month I noticed the finish wearing off. Since they were so easy to make, I got some more pearl beads and made another pair. These literally take only a few minutes to make and are great for jewelry making newbies. They’re such an elegant addition to any outfit and could also make a great gift!
Well, last week I made a hat into a wreath. So this week’s repurpose project was a peanut jar to change jar. We have been needing a change jar for quite some time and I couldn’t find any jars I liked. I wanted glass but had heard of some breaking so that didn’t seem like a good idea. Then Landon finished some peanuts and I thought I could make the peanut jar pretty to hold our change.
