Feather Trim Collar Necklace

DSC_0898

I have been waiting to make this necklace since last fall but the feather trim I wanted to use has been on back order. While sitting in my office last week trying to decide on my next DIY, it occurred to me that I could just make my own. My husband and I were working to clear out some space in our basement a few weeks ago and I asked him to throw out a really old halloween wreath I had made. He asked if I wanted him to at least save the feathers and I looked at him like he was crazy but said yes… who knew he was such a genius! Using those to make the trim, chain from my headpieces to make the necklace part and a beaded rhinestone from my sandals to accent it, this DIY was a nice way use up extra materials I already had. This is a pretty simple necklace to make, and would be made even simpler by buying pre-made feather trim. I can’t wait to wear it, I like that it can really dress up even the simplest of outfits!  Click here to get the tutorial and see how it’s made!

Vintage Book Wreath

 I’m always looking for ways to make conventional crafts into something unexpected and interesting. In this case, I decided to turn some vintage sporting books I had into a beautiful wreath to fill an empty window we have in our kitchen. The yellowing pages give it a fall-like feel without being so literal. With just a few materials I was able to make a wreath that not only filled an empty space we had in our home but it saved me a LOT of money compared to buying one at the store.
