DIY: Layered Necklace

    This necklace took all of twenty-something minutes to make.  Easy?  Very much so, cute?  Absolutely.  You only need three things, it's like boxed brownies but will last you forever.

Supplies:

• A spool of Suede Lace (only need 40" or so for project)
• Chain 
• Yarn of your choice

   It's important you tape the yarn and suede ends together, so it's easier to weave in and out of the chain.  Once you've weaved it through entirely, unhinge the end loop and attach a clasp.  I recycled one from a broken necklace of mine, they're super cheap new.  To bind down he suede and yarn to the chain, use i flexible metal twine to create a cohesive look at both ends.  I'm now on the hunt for a cute pendent to hang on this beauty.  The best part about this necklace?  It cost $5 to make and you can smile and be amazed that you, yes you made it!

DIY Felt on Canvas

Hot glue is very hot, always keep that in mind.  I'm a lover of felt and recycling my favorite old clothes to create cute home decor.  This is so easy my dears, you could totally put one of your favorite sayings on a canvas on the cheap.  I like to unwind with crafts on days off or when it's overcast, especially when I have a nice glass of wine or brewsky.  Most of this was cut with my handy scissors, I also used my exacto blade thingy, it works like magic. 

Life by the sea is pretty and amazing, I'm majorly happy.  I hope this inspires you to create something with those lovely hands of yours.  Happy weekend!
