I’ve been so busy lately I’ve been neglecting to share things that I’ve made. Here are a couple items that I’ve finished up and am enjoying:
Galaxy-Print Scrunchie
Make following this tutorial from some leftover self-designed galaxy-print fabric scraps. I’m making a top with the fabric and since the tiny amount I bought was so goshdarn expesnive, I didn’t want to let any part of it go to waste. The fabric is silk, backed in black mesh chiffon. I should have made it twice as wide, but I only had so many scraps leftover. It tends to slip out of my hair since it’s silk, so I wear it around a hair-tie.
Tribal Necklace
Made with faux bamboo-stick beads and faux coral beads from Michael’s. I love the spiky organic-ness to it.
Bohemian Leaf Head-band (Head-dress?)
I’m not really a boho gal, but I couldn’t resist crafting this. Take any flat-ish jewely finding that has a hole in either end, and string them together with jumprings to make an adornment for your brow. The leaf findings I used only had one hole, so I drilled another one in the end of each piece. Which took a $%##% long time, too.
Feather Earrings
Made in the style of Owlita. (Theirs are much nicer, though!) I just wired together some feathers and added a handmade ear-wire to them. I love how they mingle in with my hair.
Have you made any projects recently that you’re dying to show off? Do tell!

No – it’s actually a dress I bought in Japan from a boutique in Shibuya. The full outfit (and other clothing from the brand) I shared here: http://www.chic-steals.com/2010/07/romantic-standard-clothing-mocha-boutique-most-romantic-dress-ever.html
It’s one of my favorite dresses because it’s so unique!:-)
Great DIY’s I love them all! -C.C.

I just made some rope bangles.

Lovely work. But what exactly makes the necklace “tribal”? Thanks.
It just seemed to fit the “tribal” moniker since it’s shaped like a collar, spiky, and uses beads that look organic and natural (as opposed to cast and precise). I didn’t mean anything by it.:-)
Love the earrings! Yes, I made this leather tassel choker this weekend and posted a DIY on my site for it:
