PINTEREST INSPIRED PROJECTS

I know I haven't been able to do a lot of posts lately and that's because I've been busy creating all kinds of stuff that have been inspired by a new website called Pinterest. For those of you who are not familiar with it, Pinterest is the hottest craze online right now. It's basically a site where you can create different boards and pin ideas and products to it. It's like looking through a magazine except it has everything you can think of like style, home decor, crafts, etc. all in one site and the best part is....it's FREE! If you would like to join, just click on that red button on the top right  of my page that says "follow me on pinterest".

The first things I made were these bracelets.


When I saw these on Pinterest I absolutely loved 'em but I found out that you can only get them on Etsy and they were selling for about $35 to $40. I really cannot justify spending that much on a bracelet made out of plastic and gold links so I decided to make them. I could not find any tutorials for this so I just had to figure it out on my own. (Please leave a comment below if you would like me to post a tutorial.)


Another type of bracelet I made was this one. This is made out of two chains that I connected with a braiding cord.


After making jewelry, I turned my attention to making decorations for our Easter party. I made wreaths to hang on my door, some paper flowers to hang above the dining room and some topiaries to put on my candy bar.






If you have any questions or if you would like me to do a tutorial on any of these, please let me know. Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I would LOVE the tutorial on the tulle balls. I don't need them to be on the topiary sticks...just to hang :)
