Fun Things to Make

1.  Brooch Ribbon Necklace How-to ~ Take old and broken brooches, or even buy some inexpensive ones, “antique” them with a bit of spraypaint, link them together and attach to a ribbon.  Voila – a fab necklace that is reminiscent of Anthropologie, but is closer to a Target price tag.

2.  Thread and Rhinestone Bracelets {DIY} ~ Spruce up some old bangles that you don’t wear anymore.  By just wrapping them in thread and adding some rhinestone chain for a little bling, you will have a brand-spankin’ new piece of jewelry.  And since this craft is super affordable, they would also make great Christmas presents.

3.  Ruffled Clutch Tutorial ~ This clutch is so beautiful and versatile.  I looks great with a casual outfit, but could be dressy enough for a formal occasion.

4.  Holiday Bath Tea {Bath & Beauty} ~ Using the right herbs, essential oils and salts, you can create the scent of the holidays, or just about anything else you like.  This bath & beauty gift is an inexpensive yet thoughtful way to help your friends unwind and soak up the season. *Sadly, this blog has been removed.

5.  Boudoir Slippers ~ What girly girl wouldn’’t love unwrapping these slippers this Holiday? A perfect fashion gift for girlfriends, sisters, and moms. *Sadly, this blog has been removed.

6.  Glammed Up Gloves ~ No need to have boring gloves this winter season.  A little bling goes a long way.

7.  Homemade Coffee Scrub Gift {Recipe} ~ I just love the smell of coffee.  This super easy recipe make a great body scrub that you can use at home or package up and give away as a gift.  Great for teachers, co-workers, or thank you gifts.

8.  Padded iPad Case Tutorial {pictured instructions} ~ For the person that has everything (aka an iPad or iPad2) this cute case is the perfect gift to complement their new toy.  A great tutorial with lots of pictures.

9.  Ruffled Camera Strap Cover {How-To} ~ Add some bling to a boring camera strap with this easy-to-make strap cover.  If a sucker for ruffles and fabric flowers, and this strap of total awesomeness has both!  A great easy project for beginning sewers.

10.  Free Ruffled Apron Pattern ~ This romantic apron is a fabulous gift idea for any foodie.  I’m especially loving the combination of shabby chic fabrics they chose – very feminine.

11.  Ear Warmers {tutorial} ~ I love that ear warmers are so popular right now.  I’ll take any excuse to be able to wear something outrageously feminine on my head.  Delia shows you three completely different but equally fabulous options to make.

12.  Braided Sweater Scarf Tutorial ~ I love a good scarf to drape around my neck.  Something that keeps me warm and fuzzy and is cute to boot.  See how Larissa turned her old maternity sweater into this darling scarf.

13.  Leg Warmers {free pattern} ~ If you know how to knit, take advantage of this free pattern.  Although it says the skill level is intermediate, it looks pretty basic.  However, there’s nothing basic about the finished product.  It’s a guaranteed “wow-er”.

14.  Roll-Up Fabric Tote Bag ~ These Fabric Tote Bags have a roll-up strap so you can take them with you!  Includes easy to follow pictured instructions.  Make one for your friend and yourself
