The items you need are:

Bamboo placemat- $1.50

1/2 inch black elastic- $2.00
Black satin ribbon- $1.00
Scissors & Glue gun



Here is the finished product









Let me know if you try this!!

DIY- Great Gatsby Inspired Bracelet

Sorry this one is late too! I had so much fun making the headband I simply had to add another accessory to the collection.
Once again all the items I found at either the craft store, or my own craft supply.


For the base I found this "ribbon strand" at Michael's on clearance for $1.99. It's perfect because it already had the findings on each end. Now if you don't find one of these you can easily use wide ribbon, or flat or gathered lace and simply add the findings at the end yourself. The little clamps are super easy to apply.


You will need a toggle clasp or clasp of your choice.


Next I just used some of the rhinestones I had in my collection. These are from the bridal department at Michael's.


I had this pendant lying around in my supplies and I simply bent off the ring. If you want to make your bracelet longer simply use any type of chain you like.


Use some of your trusty E6000 glue and jewelry pliers



And that's it! Check out my Youtube Tutorial to see how I did it, and if you try this take a pic and post it on my facebook!

DIY Decorated To Do List Frames

Yet another idea inspired by Pinterest, and even better I purchased all the main supplies at the Dollar Tree!
I not only love to make lists, but I NEED to! Sometimes I make lists of lists lol. This idea is perfect to have right in front of you on your desk as a simple "to do" list or if you just want to write cute notes on it :)  Here are all the items I used:

5x7 frames from the Dollar Store & a Writing Tablet
$1.00 each!

 Embellishments of your choice. I used one's I had in my craft box like rhinestones, ribbon & fabric flowers
 Scissors & Glue (I use E6000)
Dry Erase Markers from Dollar Tree.
$1.00 for 4 pack

Here are the finished frames. As you can see you can also just use them for pictures of course!
