Today's creation was completely unexpected.. Please let me introduce to you Mr. Lucky Charm. The main reason I wanted to share him with you is because I am extending an invitation to Mr. Lucky Charm to join some of my Arm Parties.

Chain Reaction

I know all of you have seen these multi chain necklaces popping up everywhere in the last year or so.. I love the randomness of the different chain and varied lengths. This necklace was made out of left over chain from different projects,( no waste ).. I always have random lengths of chain left over, just sitting around waiting to be used. If you remember my Steampunk post, the pin I created there was also from left over chain as well, Click HERE to SEE... This is a super easy DIY, as in,
you can create your own special necklace however you want it.

Here are just a few I found on line
this one above is $575.00 HERE

This one $148.00
HERE

Let's make are own Shall we..

Tutorial

Things you need

1. Chain,(different kinds) W/ Rhinestone chain.

2. 3 Medium jump rings and 8 small jump rings (depending on how much rhinestone chain you use..)

3. 2 Large jump rings

one lobster claw clasp

4. Pliers

5. ( optional) Charm of your choice, with a jump ring.

Optional

If you use the rhinestone chain you have to attach the connectors to each end.. Very easy to do, just use pliers to bend the prongs down. Pictured above.

I randomly placed my chain on my jump rings.., then I randomly placed the rhinestone chain, in various places as well.

I folded a length of chain in half to make the part that goes around the back of your neck, adding the clasp to one side.

Add your charm to one side, if desired.

And that is pretty much it..

A new necklace for you.. super easy and made out of scrap chain you had left over..

I have some exciting news..

Because I have had a lot of inquires about selling a few of the items I make. I am in the process of setting up a Paypal account. This is super scary and super exciting. But I have learned that scary is good... and sometimes you just have to take that jump.. I will keep all of you up dated.

Have a wonderful Monday..

Project Re-Style #35

With Fall right around the corner, I am going to try Re-Styling clothes
that can be worn in cooler weather.
Welcome everyone to my Project Re-Style day.

This week I am doing a Re-Style that I have done before, except this one is with a long sleeve shirt. If you would like to see the other Re-Style Click HERE..

This was my son's shirt and I am not going to tell you how long ago I bought it. Let us just say it was a long time ago. I thought this shirt was a great color and it sort of fit me, it was just a little big in some places. ( an Easy fix)

For you girls out there who are not fond of your arms but love your shoulders, this is the shirt for you,
it shows only the best parts ...

Tutorial

Things you need.

1.Sewing Machine

3.Scissors

4. Safety pins

5. About an hour:)

1. Try your shirt on. Decide where you want your cuts and how big. ( I marked mine with a pencil) Cut out two triangles on your shoulders. Sew the edges

2. Turn your shirt to the back and iron the pleat that the shirt has in the back, then stitch that down.
(I stitched it down to the waist.) This takes up some of the bulk of the shirt

3. Try on your shirt again this time inside out.

Take your safety pins and pin the shirt, starting with under the arms. and mark all the way down to your hips. You can also take a shirt you already have and lay it on top and mark it that way. Once you have tried it on again and like the fit, Sew your shirt from arm pit to hips.

And that is it..

Good bye Summer,

Hello Fall!!

What to wear with.....

Shirt ~Target, Cropped jacket ~I Re-styled HERE, Skirt~ Marshall's, Shoes ~Target

I have had my temporary lock-down(on crafting) revoked for just a moment, and lets just say I was extremely excited about it. I quickly put together this bracelet that I have been thinking about. Now, pairing this bracelet with an outfit was the next step, so I could take a proper picture of it. This is the outfit I came up with, although, I am almost positive I would wear this piece with anything.

Now, I must run... We are off to take our most wonderful house guest, to some most wonderful shopping spots.

Have a Beautiful Saturday!!
